"how are they going to actually improve the Halo multiplayer though?"
from what i've read, it's still max. 16 players so the arenas will be the same size just crisper graphics and some new weapons/vehicles/gametypes? i've not read anything about destructable environments or anything else that will change gameplay much
isn't there a risk that Huxley is going to shit on Halo 3 massively?

If they want to do something revolutionary. It'll probably be a new game.

There's a lot they can do from a technical standpoint. ___________________ I am not now what I was yesterday, and I am not now what I shall be tomorrow. So you do yourself an injustice to judge me by yesterday, when I have moved on.

to spice things up. Really tho, the real focus is on the story which kind of fell off for more than a few people from Halo 2. They are trying to bring this thing home with fireworks.

i swear i've been hearing about this game for 3 years and all i've seen is one presentation video and a couple of screen shots. it's approaching duke nukem 3d status
8. "hmm. still 3 years for a project of that scope isn't so long" In response to Reply # 7
it's not Daikatana we're talking about it's something that's never really been done before and also the wait could be related to timing... making sure the average PC and the average internet connection will have a chance of handling it. plus the 360's only been out a year

11. "? there are gameplay videos?" In response to Reply # 9
the only video i've seen is the one where one of the devs shows one of the hubs, and that was about a year and a half ago
actually now that i think on it i might have seen a really short gameplay video but i might be confusing that with a trailer that happened to have some gameplay in it
13. "saying there's a risk huxley will shit on halo 3 is asinine" In response to Reply # 0
and i'm a huxley fan
of course there's a "risk" that "new game" will blow out "old game/style of play"
but comparing something that actually has delivered a high level of play (halo) to a total newcomer and unknown that hasn't shipped is retarded.
even if it's just tweaked, with better graphics and some great maps, that still puts halo 3 on top of the shooter pile
huxley's showing at the last E3 was not very well received, with people saying it just looked like an unreal tournament clone. I wouldn't say it's going to knock halo off the shelf just yet.

obviously there were a few fps games on the market before it, but on the even playing field of 16 player games with voice chat, halo 2 was the best. it was also the first one i got to play so the whole set up was a dream
but with Huxley, it wont be an even playing field it will be 16 players with voice chat vs massive 100 player battles in persistant worlds on servers with rpg style character upgrades and interaction and quests
just adding a gun or two and tweaking the gameplay isn't going to impress me much

before Halo 3 was officially announced, there were rumours about Bungie going for persistant worlds and that sort of thing too turns out they think some new maps and tweaks will be enough not very 'next gen'

i can do without the modding, standbying, quitting that goes on in halo 2. nevermind that their gameplay isn't THAT good it's good because it has the matchmaking system and the vehicles, also the radio/proximity chat is brilliantly implemented but i think it would be foolish of them to think they've got the market on lock because of their ability to design maps and balance gunfights 50% of the big team battle gametypes are drudgery
besides, why make the same game again? we've got halo 2 already. that's my complaint.

21. "why make a wildly different game" In response to Reply # 20
shooters with high player counts, and mmo features have been done, and they've sucked. why should they do something that hasn't been proven to be a workable concept?
I want a good game, regardless of what they've done before.

22. "i always assumed the 16 player limit was purely for technical reasons" In response to Reply # 21
to prevent lag or slowdown i mean i almost never play the non big-team-battle games on halo 2. why play with 8 people when you can get 16
i don't have a 360, but from what i've heard perfect dark zero multiplayer, and resistance fall of man mp went down pretty well
i;m not mad that they're not making an MMO FPS, although i wouldn't be surprised if Huxley sons it, but at least increase the player count. 16 isn't the optimal number, more players is more fun, up to a point anyway
why release just a refined halo 2. it's dissappointing

You stay shitting on Bungie. If you're disappointed in the franchise stop playing Halo, and furthermore, stop talking about it. It just exposes what type of gamer you are that I STILL haven't gotten the opportunity to blast you, yet you still talk online this, online that, online sold crack.
