"You Can’t Use Weapons While Using the Shield Bubble"
first off they didn't say or show this in the video so... wtf!?
second most the bubble will stop bullets and possible even vehicles, however you can easily walk into it and melee the person inside and well as shott him on the inside and he can shoot back..

Where did that release date for Europe ("September 30th") come from???
I doubt it's true but would like to know your source none the less...

This post is worthless and should be saved till some of this can be verified, or replace "The Assault Rifle Has Longer Range?" which you cant verify in any way, with stuff like "Both the Assault Rifle, AND the Battle Rifle will return"
this is an amateur post and whoever blogged this needs to quit filling an amazing blog with worthless crap

* Halo 3 is NOT made from scratch. Halo 3 is an updated version of Halo 2 which was made in 2004 by using Renderware engine (confirmed fact; Bungie chose this method to save huge amount of development time and budget); therefore, Halo 3 is NOT a true next-gen title. Halo 3 can’t even use X360 console’s most power. Renderware is far inferior to other advanced engines such as, Source, Unreal, CryEngine, etc.
* This is why Crapalo (Halo) 3 looks like Halo 2.5 in terms of graphics and gameplay (no breakable buildings, no deformable objects, etc). This new Halo 3 alpha footage looks crappy. There're alpha footages of Gears of War and Resistance available online, unless you are blind, you must know the fact that alpha builds are 90% same as the final versions.
* Halo 3's world (in alpha vid) is as shinny (bright, flashy with HDR lighting effects) as the one in Perfect Dark Zero. PDZ was the best looking game when it was released in 2005. PDZ and Kameo were made by Rare which is a subsidiary of Microsoft Game Studios (MGS, not the Metal Gear). MGS also owns FASA (which makes Shadowrun) and Bugie (Halo 3). All these companies share all kinds of technologies (DirectX based) which are used to make X360 games. This is the biggest reason why Shadowcrap, Perfect Dark Crap, Kameo and Halo 3 have extremely similar graphical quality (artistic design).
* Bungie's officially announced in Nov. 2006 that Gears of War has too much superior graphics to Halo 3's final (retail) version (GameSpot’s editor asked “What game has better graphics, GoW or Halo 3?). If you know the definition of ‘paraphrasing’, above statement means “Halo 3 will look very much inferior to GoW in the graphics department.
* Killzone 2 is built from scratch (true next-gen); therefore, KZ2 can use most potential power of PS3 hardware. Guerrilla which is a subsidiary of Sony has 120 employees (programmers and graphics designers). The total budget for KZ2 is $21 million (for your reference, Epic spent $10 m to make Gears of War with 90 devs).
* All Sony’s internal developers and Sony’s very close world class companies share all kinds of technologies which are used for making PS3 games (OpenGL 2.0 based). These world class developers are those companies which make games like: MotorStorm, Metal Gear Solid 4, Warhawk, Ratchet & Clank, Virtua Fighter 5, Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, White Knight Story, Tekken 6, Heavenly Sword, Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy XIII, Lair, Uncharted-Drake's Fortune and of course Killzone 2.
* Polyphony’s Gran Turismo 4 on PS2 is world's most popular racing game in the entire gaming history based on the number of copies sold. GT HD (4.5) demo was released in 2006; all game reviewers were surprised that GT HD was just good (80/100) when they expected that this new GT must get review scores of 95/100 just like all its predecessors. After this shock, Polyphony officially confirmed GH HD was an upgraded version of PS2's GT 4; that's why it looks just good. Polyphony then confirmed that they totally scraped the whole GT HD project and working on GT 5 entirely from scratch. Bungie must take a leaf out of Polyphony’s book; Bungie should scrap Halo 3 then make it from scratch then released it in 2009.
* I have to admit (even though I don’t want to) that Halo 3 will sell 10 millions more X360 consoles because Halo 3 is the only game on X360 which is worth $60 (99% of all X360 games are pure garbage; It's more fun to play catch-with-the-box than it is to play the games)
* I’m NOT a fanboy; if you disagree with me, then you HAVE TO say that I’m an X360 fanboy due to the fact that I’ve owned my X360 console since the release date in 2005. I spent a hundred times more time on my X360 console than I did on my new PS3 (I recently bought it).

i dont really like the game so i dont care, but if i did i would be pissed.

Sorry but I don't care about graphics THAT much, especially since Halo is more of a sci-fi game, and the shiny smooth look fits it.
I am much happier they spent their time thinking of new weapons, grenades, vehicles, gametypes and other little things that make a game worth playing for years, not just graphics....graphics will not keep you playing a game, only gameplay will.
"Watch recorded movies from different viewpoints"
Recording your matches alone is the biggest next-gen addition i've seen to a game, and that's only the tip of the iceberg....

It's obvious you have no idea what renderware is you delusional fanboy POS.

Secondly, whoever wrote this article should maybe know the halo franchise before writing on it.
I mean come on.. Assault on the Control Room from Halo Returns… in Multiplayer. Please tell me you were joking when you said that.

I don't even care if you argue that you dislike the halo franchise, but please, you sound like more of an idiot than the writer of this article when you say halo is "dead"

As for the 19 captions bull***** i got 2 they even they over looked.
1. X button is most likely used for flag/bomb/whatever speed. If you look at the vid where the asian guy is running with the flag...you can see right before that, that it looks like hes tapping the X-button and the bar on the center screen is increasing. +1
2. you have a choice between 4 normal grenades, 4 plasmas, and 4 spikes...meanwhile you have to pick up the bubble shield/trip mine. +1
EAT IT
