Halo 3 Ready to Rock and Roll!...

i can pretty much garuntee it aint, theres a leaked email from MS on a few 360 sites saying it wont be out in 2006 and theres pictures of whats spose to be the boxart with "not final art" written on it.
 
I can catagorically say, right now, with 100% authority that Halo 3 is not finished. The boxart and manual may be, but the game is not.
 
I doubt halo 3 to have ONLY been in development for a few months. Just because they received their kits late, doesn't mean they can't get it finished. Halo 3 has probably been in development for quite a while now, knowing bungie. This could be the "big surprise" MS were talking about. It probably isn't ready, but don't discount it so eagerly.
 
Bungie have not even announced that they are working on Halo yet.

Halo is the XBOX killer app the product that sells the most (well a lot of) consoles. M$ will want this to be a show case app. To show what next gen is all about. They are in no hurry to release the game because there is still a huge market demand for the console itself and they do not need to make supply issues worse by releasing a must have game when there are not enough consoles to go round. Yes supply is getting better but currently it would become impossible to get a 360 if halo came out next month. By the time there are enough consoles to go round £5 will be knocked off Halo's price tag.

As I was saying about Halo being a next gen show case. I would imagine they are probably still working on the physics engine, the graphics engine and the AI. They will be working on the multi-threading and truly getting to grips with the hardware. Halo has to look better than anything currently available, it has to play better than anything available, it has to sound better than anything available, and it has to feel better than anything else available.

As I have not seen a single screenshot yet I am sceptical that this is anywhere near completion. I think we were seeing Halo2 screen shots in February when the game was released in November.

There has been no details on weapons vehicles or any other details about the game at all, infact the only details we here are suspect release dates. Why would M$/Bungee not let us know anything if they were near completion?

Things I would imagine are complete:

Storyline
Voice Acting
Sound Track
Sound Effects
 
by all accounts MS do have a big surprise in stock for 360 owners but i doubt it is this. For the above reasons why sell the game every 1 wants when no 1 will be able to play it, people will get fed up of trying to get consoles and the game and it wont have maximum impact. It could be earlier then what they really said possibly middle of the year when they have an expected sales target of about 3.5 million or something??
 
Not to try & put a damper on it, but I've played Halo & am currently playing Halo2 on my 360 and I really can't see what all the fuss is about - I've played many superior FPS games. :eek:

Halo 2 multi player is pretty damn good tbh.

Story mode is ok. But its the online play that makes things special. There is so much to some of these levels. I am still finding new jumps on Lockout now, over a year after it came out and for the first year I played it almost every day.

With the exception of one gun the weapons are ballanced. The grenades are good. The vehicles are great. Level design is good (Lockout is amasing)

movement and control is great,

Pace is good. Not too frantic and not too slow.

Match making and game types are in the most part very good and it is easy to join ranked games.

Above all there is not better console FPS.

Y'see I'm with you on this one too. Really can't see what the fuss is over. The graphics I don't think were THAT good, the levels were not very well designed and it just didn't feel right.

So I'm standing with you on this one matey. Doubt I'll be buying Halo3 unless it's far far better than the previous 2.
 
I think your forgeting the main thing, Halo 1&2 were done on the xbox which is pretty low standard Intel Pentium III 733 MHz and a gf3 if memory serves correct(correct me if not).

For such a low spec i would say they pretty damned good, so imagine what Halo3 could look like on the 360.

Yeah he sounds a lot like cartman with the amount of authority he keeps spouting about. Nobody would guess he was a student :p
