    check this out... Microsoft showed this at GDC... running with their XNA... now if they HAVE a version of the halo 2 engine, powered by XNA... is that not the heart of Halo 3?

    I might be wrong about this.. but it looks higher-res than halo2 on xbox.

    discuss.

    :eek:)

    Looks like halo 2 using the new XNA engine running on a high end PC.

    The the wall on the left looks shitty. Rest looks alright but then it's hard to tell as the screenshot's not great - it's a photo of a screen, obviously.
     
  6. Don't get all excited about what you see/hear of Halo 3 now - they'll just do a rush job of rewriting the game 6 months before its release anyway.

    I agree. It looks like a fuzzy Halo 2 with a different shotgun.

    nah, it'll just be a souped up version of the parts they cut out of halo 2 for the next system. We'll see if bungie makes up another excuse though, since they said the xbox was to weak to fulfill their promises.

    whatever.

    well, bungie started to work on the next halo for the next-box (or xbox 360, or fridge, or whatever). from what i readed, they double their team (from 60-70 to 120-140) and their big focus is to make an unbelivably developed IA for their next game. And yes, the last thing is classical hype.

    anyway, that picture isn't impressive at all.

    I think that may just be Halo 2 running in 480p.

    I was thinking Halo 1 background, with photoshopped in Halo 2 things.
    Food for thought.

    Halo 3 will have fluffy kittens gun so when you shoot fluffy kittens will attack the creatures... and a puppy bomb.. so when you thro one it is a puppy with C-4 strapped to it's back...that would be halo 3 goodness.. Oh and you can stomp a bag full of kittens that is just for graphix sake..
