...So what are the world artists getting paid to do? I didn't see anything that looked new other than a few textures. I see new guns, and resed up texture on the characters, but thats it. The gameplay looks fun, but it still looks like halo2.
They have good reason to cry everyday because their game still looks the same as it did 3 years ago. Yeah they will still sell 5 million copys so i guess that makes it ok...
They dont really care about making it look better, it will sell the same regardless. Its sort of sad, but everyone knows its not gears. Oh well, its really just another rehash of the same game at heart, with some new gameplay elements, but really what can you do with halo? Aside from revamping everything and pissing everyone off........
If you want to read about the graphical features that aren't in there yet, read the blog. There's tons of graphical shit that's not in the multiplayer beta. Most notably the grass.
They have already said not everything will be in the beta. Bungie is always secretive of everything they do.
I heard that the in house testers are actually imprisoned at a secret location and will not be let go until it ships and there are armed guards on the roof with .50 cal sniper rifles. Helicopters on standby with hell fire missiles. Un-manned drones flying 24 hours a day around the complex and all kinds of other security going on. It's Microsofts answer to Area 51.
unless they aren't skilled enough to make good looking art beyond a certain resolution. I'm reserving judgment, I think it looks ok right now (not great), and will look better with time. But, it's not simply a matter of choosing "Hey, lets make this game look good, instead of not, k?"
Bungie sureee loves their making of videos! You can hear the fapping of the fanboys...
I'm with TGZ, this game looks like a sharper version of Halo 2. Show me some human characters that don't have muddy textured faces and levels that don't look like they were copying and pasting the same room twenty times, then I'll be more excited.
Yay, there releasing another Halo 2 map pack! Oh wait a minute
Being as good as Halo 2 is your goal? really? WTF?
This guys pointless observasions crack me up, especially when he doesnt mention new vehicles shown at the end, but does mention team logos and elements that were already in halo 2 ... http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=56068
Asmuel:
I don't know what type of latin he's speaking but
"Quisnam Protero Damno" isn't "He who ignores pain" its closer to "Condemn those who trample" or "Damn who is under foot"...
Though some of his analyzations were pretty interesting.

No way they would do that.
