Awesome news;

Bungie is happy to announce that Halo was released five years ago, and as a way to mark this birthday they also announced that a public beta of the multiplayer part of Halo 3 would be available next spring, along with some Xbox 360 only multiplayer maps for Halo 2. Also a brand new trailer will be shown on ESPN on December 4 during "Monday Night Football". And the cherry on the cake: a brand new image of Halo 3!

Can't wait to try it out, and those new Halo 2 maps should make the wait for H3 easier. Here's the new image btw;

The texture on the chief is so realistic its unreal. I would expect this could be the one u pay for, unless that was for the demo.

so is that a screenshot from halo 2 :rofl: joke. At first glance i thought it was but then i had to re-check and it wouldnt make sense if it were hale 2. :p

Anyways, cool texturing. :) Although i dont like how the gloves are so shiny like that. they look slimy.

And i cant wait to see what halo 3 is like in gameplay. :cool:

Lol, Bungie needs to put in bold on the bottom of every screenshot they release 'Alpha version - placeholder textures - work in progress' :D

I wonder how far the nails disperse on detonation? From that screen it looks like the spread of the explosion is pretty big, if the nails travel further than that spread it could potentially be a very powerfull weapon.

Also, here's a comparison of the evolution of Master Chief;

Halo: Combat Evolved



Halo 2



Halo 3
