Have a look at Halo.

Yes, all the screenshots are in-game!

If you have the bandwidth, check out this movie (18MB, needs Quicktime 4):

There now, who gives a toss about Q3?

looks crap

Dr_Teeth · 23-09-1999 3:47pm

Yeah, what was I thinking?!

With graphics like that it'll prolly run like a pig on most any machine you care to mention. Besides, arguing is therapeutic, Teeth

sorry i dont like their taste in uniforms.

Ah well Castor, if they don't have P-IIIs and GeForce cards by the time it comes out they can always **** off and play Quake.

Seriously, check out the movie, the animation of the vehicles has to be seen to be believed.

hmm, nice pic, but the rockets are too slow ...

Halo, from what I've seen and heard, looks set to be an amazing game.
However, whether or not it will be an amazing
_deathmatch_ game is another question entirely. It may be, who knows? But that doesn't seem to be the emphasis Bungie are putting on it.
Although they do seem to be saying that you'll be able to do anything with it. We'll just have to wait.
As far as I know it's not due out until sometime late next year (could be wrong) so we have a good while of Q3A vs. UT to go yet...
Nice pic though.

Looks like Tribes 2, or what Tribes 2 should look like if they stoppped messing with creating mountains with holes in them.

For all it's gfx, if the ping is C R A P it's not worth sh1te.

I think that whatever open-air games come and go, there will always be a place for an indoor, enclosed environment style FPS. Faster with more carnage, mmmm

I'm looking forward to Halo - although admittedly not half as much as I'm looking forward to Renegade. Tribes 2... Hmm. I'll be interested to see whether it can hold my attention, I played Tribes for about 4 hours a night for 6 months, so it'd wanna be something radically new

Current Prediction - over the next year you'll find me wasting away all the time I _could_ be having a social life in, playing Unreal Tournament and Renegade.
