This has probably already been mentioned but this really reminds me of Unreal Tournament 3. It even had a bunch of huge skulls come out of the guy apon death like in that one game mode. The jetpack MOD for that game was real fun and I'm looking forward to this. One thing that makes me laugh is when people act like Halo getting sprinting is REVOLUTIONARY. Revolutionary is when I can moon walk damnit.


Meh, no much less so than people reacting to Yamauchi announcing GT 5 would have car damage...


I agree. I can understand people getting excited about GT5 getting damage in the sense that Yamauchi is a perfectionist and in the hopes that it will have the best damage in a racer to date. I don't see how you can really improve much on sprinting. lol

Good point. Halo's not even going to full blown sprinting anyway, just if you happen to have that as your ability. I think it'll be pretty cool, but I'm not going to try and pretend like I'm excited for the game more or that the one thing I really wanted in Halo was sprinting.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

The dodge roll move is my favorite new addition. Nothing is more satisfying then playing Gears of War or Uncharted and doing a dodge roll in time to see a sniper bullet zoom right past you and the satisfaction of knowing you just saved your face. And the cinema mode will allow you to watch it in all kinds of awesome angles.

What I love most about this thread are the people that have played Halo once at a friends house or just seen videos on the internet and have little to no understanding of how a competitive, balanced fps works commenting on how "generic" Halo is.

I've taken pleasure in putting people in their place before so if you seriously think Halo has made no innovations then please tell me and I will be glad to post a nice long reply showing you why you are so very wrong.

Also loving the graphics comments, hey everyone lets go look at GOW3's alpha footage and laugh how its just GOW2 in hd. People seriously don't understand anything when it comes to game development.

I'll bite. What has Halo innovated upon other than shoehorning a genre into a very limiting control scheme? Because it's certainly not story, gameplay mechanics, or graphics.

I still can't believe you think Halo takes any amount of skill outside of the simplest requirements to play other FPSes.

I know your banned but;

quick use grenades, regenerative health, 2 weapon maximum for both campaign and multiplayer, animations for getting into and out of vehicles, boarding of enemy vehicles, theater, matchmaking, dual wielding and four player co-op in fps

Each Halo game has brought a new innovation, everything I've listed was done first in Halo. I could go into much further depth with other aspects of Halo too but theres no point since you can't argue back. Not that it would make a difference, your one of, if not the most elitist person on vgchartz. If someone doesn't agree with your opinion you immediately mark them as idiots. Such a person does not warrant an intelligent debate.

For the people saying Halo stole the jet pack idea from tribes. You do realize that the whole concept of a jet pack in a video game has been around for over 25 years right?

Holy horseshoe Batman, Tribes stole the idea of jet packs from Space Harrier!

Evolution in the series, not innovation, big difference. At least Halo is evolving in a good way, unlike some other series that just goes to shit, aka Sonic.



I'm not the biggest 360 fan, but tbh this looks fantastic.

Still have like 2 months for the beta. I guess I'll have to play BC2 or L4D waiting for this to come. Oh the agony.



Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

Looks awesome. I'll get it close to launch.



I LOVE ICELAND!

Wow a halo thread filled with trolls.

How predictable.

If the players were skiing then I'd consider it a tribes rip-off. They weren't...
