Why do I never want to click ur links e3p0? Lol.

Cause your afraid of me.

(jk).
But really..

I like how they say you are simply going to be "the rookie." At least the game will hold true to the player simply being the "Universal Hero", just like Marathon and Halo. I like that kind of thing for some reason.

Well maybe I was wrong. It has been a while since I've played that game. None The Less it's in the same time period.

I love the transition between Earth / The Forerunner Planet that the MC is drifting towards / Then I'm assuming Reach.

I pre-ordered mine about a week ago.. :|. lol.

ODST looks drastically different from Halo 3. Not sure if that's going to be good or bad yet though... So far the atmosphere kind of reminds me of FEAR especially with that HUD for some reason.
E:
Reach is going to be epic win too. Always wanted to relive the battle of reach.

Thats not preordering. Your basically buying the whole game with that much money. Usually its $5 minimum at gamestop and eb games. Depends where you "preorder".

Anyways, I preordered ODST today, I put a $20 deposit on it.

lol, I found a modeling/smoothing error on the pistol used on Halo 3 ODST (M6C, Halo 1 Pistol)



Look at the left side of the gun. Its near the end barrel.

Everyone and their mother is going to try to model that gun now.

But really, I like it alot more than the other Halo pistols.. it looks more like a weapon and less like a stupid toy.

The guy at E3 says its the H1 pistol. But the model number (screenshot with the otherside of the pistol) says its the M6C, which is the H2 magnum. M6D is the H1 pistol. Donut

Actually he said anybody who was a fan the Halo 1 pistol would be like the new one... he didn't specifically say it was the same gun heh

So I was correct. For a moment I thought I had missed half the game.

Lol, I think I see another one by where the trigger guard connects to the barrel. Anwyays,
Brb modelling that.

I think thats just the render or texturing.

That's probably the third person model. Bungie's third person models really aren't that great..

Enjoy the game. Stop pointing out errors.

Their first-person versions are never so hot either. Looks like lots of fun if you enjoyed Halo 3!

SCREW THAT THE GAME FING SUCKS SO DOES HALO REACH AND HALO3 ODST=FAIL

/sarcasm

Ahem, the topic for the last few posts has been models, and I'm posting my two cents on the said topic.

I'm basing my opinions on the fact that I've played other games as well, and in comparison, Halo's modeling never really impressed me (Just look at the character models), though the artistic design of and effects are fantastic for the most part.

:p

I won't show mine until I get more progress, though.

Yeah, Looking at Halo 1, the characters are understandable, I mean, it's a really old game, but the character models didn't impress me at all in H2, It wasn't until H3 that they started looking good.

Its not much really. Dont you already have the other elements drawn?

That was fast for the HUD, I knew that was gonna happen while I was watching the E3 showing.. "Man someone's gonna remake this the DAY it comes out"

And I think that bar in the top of the screen is a "health meter," though it's hard to say how it would act. I'd imagine it would probably act like shields, just with a much slower recharge rate.

Also, apparently ODST has fall damage and it looks like the screen turns red while you're low on health/taking damage.

Also yeah, Halo 3's models look okay. The character faces still look a bit "wtf," but the different armors are nicely done.

Reach wasn't in Halo Wars.

Lern ur haol histery

I dont think its a health bar, I never saw it move in the trailer or anything. Its probably like CoD with a red screen when low health.

They're all ODSTs. THere are no Spartans in ODST that we know of yet.

Also,Where did you get that screenshot? The pistol looks awesome.

I don't like the FOV in the gameplay. It looks like a little too much of the gun is visible.

Hes talking about the Halo: Reach image. The one where you see people standing at the bottom of the planet.
And its from the Images section on the Halo 3: ODST project page. Renders.

And this is the Halo 3: ODST SMG reticle:


Yes, it is that small, if you notice the videos and look at first person screenshots with the smg on it, its that small. (Well its smaller than the standard SMG reticle) Anyways, I forgot the X on the outer circle. Adding that later.

Ignore the rest of the HUD, its wip. All by me.

I think the circle may only be there when in outline mode, and I think it's the same size as the regular ret too.

Not much gameplay really. Shot a few brutes, killed a banshee, blew up a bridge. And its a teaser trailer.

Anyways, did anyone notice that theres 3 frag grenades?

I just realized that pistol looks very similar to the Crysis pistol, laser sight and everything.
Also, 3 nades :D

Smaller crosshair = longer range = frickin amazing = WHY THE HELL IS THERE NO MULTIPLAYER

Well there's coop campaign, but I think that's it. As well as firefight, which I am imagining is something like GoW2 Horde.

There is. There just using the Halo 3 Multiplayer. So your gonna play with all Halo 3 and ODST players.
