I really dont know how this goes, but if you read the article in bungie.net they say that they are using real time graphics. That this is exactly how it displays on the DEV kits.
What you guys think? By 2007, they would be able to upgrade these graphics alot more I think. (It looks awsome as it is to me.)
Soop, the said that this was just their anoucement(teaser), so I cant wait till real time play footage.

The game really looks fantastic and the programming is great especially with the lighting gemoetry. Instead of using multiple sources, the light comes from one source and is rendered once so it looks more realistic and uniform. In addition, everything there is scaled in real life (ex. that crater is about 3 miles diameter, Bungie scaled 3 miles and made it looks like how it would from the perspective the player is in)

The funny thing about amazon announcing a release date is that bungie still has this on their site:

Halo 3: First Details Emerge
New maps, new weapons, new SKUs, new control schemes.
by Luke Smith, 10/27/2006
In the just-redesigned December issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly (subscribers should have it any day now) a handful of editors took Halo 3's multiplayer game hands-on.
The result? A 17-page cover story and a three-week series of stories on 1UP called "3 Weeks of Halo 3."
Before all of that information ends up in your hands, though -- here's a small taste of what to expect from both EGM and 1UP over the next few weeks:
# What are these new Brutish weapons? What's a Spike Rifle...or a Spike Grenade?
# The Mongoose (the once-scrapped ATV from Halo/Halo 2) is back: Who wants to ride Brokeback?
# Halo 3 will have three retail SKUs: standard, collector's edition, and Legendary. Guess which one comes with a helmet and four discs of content?
# Adding bumpers to the 360 controller means there's some extra real estate for Bungie to play with. Now the left bumper reloads your dual-wielded weapon and the right bumper is the normal reload. What does X do, though? Mum.
# Starting weapon: Bungie thinks they have the "perfect" starting weapon in Halo 3. It's not the pistol, the battle rifle, or the SMG...and it's pretty familiar. How does the new Assault Rifle play?
# One of the new maps, Valhalla, is being called "the new Blood Gulch" -- but this isn't another coat of new paint on the Combat Evolved classic. This is, from-the-ground-up, a brand-new map. How is it?
# What if you could save your own movies from Halo 3's single- and multiplayer gameplay and then rewatch them? In Halo 3, you can.
Stay tuned for 3 Weeks of Halo 3, starting November 6th, for lots more Halo 3 info!

no way! Halo 2 ftw. I LOVE using that crazy blade thing on my unsuspecting friends! its one of the most satisfying gaming feelings, lol.
there are probably a few things I liked more on the 1st version, but overall, I like 2 better. I think 1 had some maps that aren't in 2? Been a while since I played 2 so my memory is a bit fuzzy. The big ass winter scape, and original Blood Gulch were really good. But on the same token, the new maps were enjoyable too.
