New Halo Shots

I don\'t think this is a \"Tribes/TF2-killer\" but the screenshots are REALLY cool. Too bad the game is one year away, It won\'t be as impressive by then.

FIRST-PERSON-SHOOTER IS KING!
\'Nuff said. For the rest of you, go play Tomb Raider.

this is a very good contender... maybe even goodbye to tf2 and tribes 2

those screenshotz are incredible, two words: fukin amazing

I know im lazy and hate when someone doesnt hot link it.

I beleive the two new screenshots he is referring to is on that other website which he says he can get to.

<sigh> I *wont* get drawn into one of these tps vs fps debates. Suffice it too say you\'re wrong I find (for example) Nocturne VERY immsersive and its not a fps. I found Diablo immersive and its not a fps. Immersiveness isnt a product of a particular viewpoint, its what you do within the confines of the game you\'ve developed that generates that immersiveness.

Also, using Heretic 2 as an example, the combat would have lost ALOT of its visceral appeal if you couldnt see yourself doing all those pole vaults, overhead staff smashes and whirling attacks.

The only game Im anticipating as eagerly as Halo next year is TF2. I just wish Bungie would STOP releasing these shots becuase its akin to torture knowing Im not going to be able to play until next fall/winter.

Ack! Does this count as getting drawn into a tps vs fps argument?

Goto Voodoo Extreme. They have the new shots mirrored. The ones Steve listed are the old ones.

new shots?!

didn\'t you post those ones a few weeks ago?

the 3rd person will rock I think. imagine getting to watch a movie of yourself and the action all around you....is that the reason people record demos. personally I cant wait....

I agree Skid about the 3rd person. This game would have me so interested if it was first person. Right now, I may get it, I may not. I guess a demo will tell me if I will like it.

They are saying their design is not like any of the other 3rd person games, but I can\'t see where you could ever had quite the sense of control 3rd person.

I guess we\'ll see.

I\'ll be happy as long as Halo is open ended enough for someone to add a 1st person mode to it. I havent ever been able to play a 3rd person action game seriously and unless they do something radically different, it\'ll end up being another major disappointment. 3rd person mode just takes away any immersive feeling you might get while playing the game, and it gets in the way of aim. Just try playing Q1,Q2,Q3, or Tribes, or any of the teamplay/action games in 3rd person mode and see how horrible it feels. Its fun for a gimmick, but thats it. Take a look at Heretic 2, it would be amazing to be able to do those moves in 1st person mode. It would feel real, and you\'d actually be able to aim spells properly instead of having relying on that annoying autoaim thingie. I dont know how eveyone else feels about it, but it just seems a waste to have such amazing graphics, and not use them to their full potential in immersing the player. With 3rd person mode, you are never IN the game. Instead, you are controlling a game-character on screen :\\

As for Duke4, as long as it doesnt prove to be a disaster on mid-end, non-3dfx cards like the TNT, as in WoT, it should be amazing.

The shots look schweet....... I love that green energy blast the Human Trooper is dodging.

Oh man... Isn\'t this a great time to be alive and a gamer? Between this and Duke4, next year is going to be SWEET.

I\'m definitely waiting for the 1Ghz Athlon with stuff like this on the horizon for my next upgrade....

the sonsofbitches on gxp have a password to that link you put up sTeve...
