Guardian, Sandtrap, Gravity Hammer first person action, and Hunters.

[Ki11a_FTW]

F'in awesome, i wonder if those hunters are enemys or not

[Atty]

They are maneuvering towards you (the player) with brutes in the background, it looks to me as if they are not friendly.

[Ki11a_FTW]

yeah, just realized theres red on the radar

[adumass]

Wow that looks great I wanna play now! Look at all those phantoms and banshees in the background. Also, those hunters are enemies on the radar plus they are firing at the player.

[Con]

in H2, the hunters sided with the elites in the civil war, so I'm guessing if the elites are allied with humanity, so are the hunters.

edit: maybe these guys chose not to? :|

[Warsaw]

Beautiful is the only word I have to describe it. Not liking the Gravity Hammer though.

[Bastinka]

Hunters are too shiny :saddowns:

Otherwise its :awesome:

what i dont understand is that the reticle is on one, but not red

[Warsaw]

The game isn't perfect. I get plenty of scenarios like that when I play Halo or Halo 2.

I think somewhere in an update Bungie wrote how they decided against that for gameplay, and cuz hunters are so damn fun to fight.

[Ki11a_FTW]

yes but its the best with them on your side, you cant lose!

[DaneO'Roo]

Guardian looks fucking :awesome:

My favorite map out of them all now.

[Teroh]

Fucking beautiful.

[Jay2645]

It's not quite on it. Also, why is that elite's reticle red? He's on your team.
Maybe this all happens before the Elites side with you, as the Hunters appear to be shooting at you.
EDIT: Oops, didn't notice the second page there. This was in reply to the comments on the first page.

My favourite is High Ground. Epic asymmetry.

No he's not... He's on blue, and the player is red.

[Flyboy]

Tis hawt.

pic 1

I'm starting to like the Spartan skin and the varients better, they've improved a lot. I thought the Master Chief looked terrible when I saw the first screenshots of Halo 3.

pic 2

I see the HUD has changed a bit, and though I'm liking the changes, it's still not as good as the Halo 2 HUD IMO. Also, the hunters are very, very shiny.

pic 3

The new Elites are looking slick, and it would seem they get a new HUD as well... though again I liked the Halo 2 HUD (for Elites) better, the purple was nice looking.

pic 4

Not much to say here, the level of detail is really out in full force and the game is shining. I can't wait to play this map.

pic 5

Looks like a bit of multiplayer action... that energy sword looks terrible.

pic 6

Great lighting, and killer overcharge on the Plasma Pistol... though I think I'm going to miss Halo 1's simple blob charge.

pic 7 (:O)

The Gravity Hammer reticule (if that's what that is) looks kind of silly, and tbh I don't think it should be a useable weapon. The bubble shield is looking great as always, but also rather out of place in the Halo universe... as always.

.

[Botolf]

I guess I'm fated to like the visual style of every Halo 3 map announced, I just adore 'em all! :p

[SL1CK1337]

Yea those hunters look super shiny. The one on the right has his shield thing halfway through the wall.

[TIA Gangsta]

Ok, seriously. Surely NOBODY cna deny the fact that Halo 3's graphics isn't "Halo 2.5" anymore.
That's fucking AMAZING! I love it!

And looks like we've got a glimpse of the Elite HUD (pics 2 and 7)

[Zeph]

Bubble shield looks much larger.

[Enigma]

Omfg I never thought that would come true...Ninja Elites....

[Terry]

The elites have cyan HUD now? Hmm.. I'm still hoping you can customize HUD colours.

[Elite Killa]

What I also noticed about the Elite HUD is that when the HUD chooses the grenade type, instead of it having a square around it like the MC has, it has a circle around it. Compare with the pictures to see what I mean.

[Atty]

I have right now 18 awesome screenshots of a player (I will not name) and his experience with the Halo 3 Epsilon. You can see the Flame Thrower, Brute Chopper, Tsavo Highway, Forge in action, and much more! So, just click the link below to download the file and view 18 new images of the Halo 3 Epsilon!

^:awesome:

Especially the Unicorn Insignia.

[TeeKup]

Am I the only one who noticed the several green patches on the Hunter's armour? Is that just reflection or what.

[teh lag]

Definately just reflection. No sane person would make the Hunters look like that all the time.

[TIA Gangsta]

Hunters are WAAAY too shiny/reflective. Makes them look a bit weird, although on a HD TV it probably looks kick ass.

[Cortexian]

I can't wait for sandtrap...

[Elite Killa]

I can't wait for guardian...

[Syuusuke]

I can't wait for....Halo 3?

[Atty]

I can't wait for 11:59PM, September 24th, 2007.

[FireDragon04]

I can't wait for 11:59PM, September 24th, 2007.
*sigh* I hate to wait atleast...24 hours ++ ... (UK)
And then it sucks even more as no store around here is opening at midnight, so im having mine delivered to my house *pateince*...**** that i'll have none left!

[Agamemnon]

I can't wait for October 31st, 2007.

[Xegrot]

I can't wait for October 31st, 2007.

I already have my costume, so I can stay at home and run around with it and scare all of the little kiddies that come for candy.

[Warsaw]

I ran around as a terrorist last year...forgot to bring my [orange tipped] AK though. Scared a few people. I'm thinking this year I'll go as Doctor Who.

[leorimolo]

I have to wait 3 days to get it to Costa Rica......or I could renew my Rapidshare premium account

[ExAm]

I ran around as a terrorist last year...forgot to bring my [orange tipped] AK though. Scared a few people. I'm thinking this year I'll go as Doctor Who.My default costume is usually some form of US infantryman, since I have BDUs from my airsofting. I also have a SPAS-12 airsoft shotgun (Why do all the games portray US army divisions equipped with it? It's been discontinued!) and a makeshift SMAW made out of a carpet tube. [/derailed]

[Jay2645]

Lol, I'm goin as the one and only SPARTAN 117. I have a costume and everything.
I even have an Assault Rifle...

[Stealth]

I hate to say it but those screen shots aren't new, to the public, we've seen some of those screen shots in some of the mags that was released this month or last.

not really, there was some scans of the mags with them in it, genius.

[n00b1n8R]

what happend to hunters being on the elites side :smith:

[Stealth]

I know, that's going to be a pain, but they look fucking cool, but I think they're too shiny.

[TIA Gangsta]

what happend to hunters being on the elites side :smith:

I'm glad they're our enemies now, cos they were so fun to fight.
I remember the first time I had to fight a Hunter in Halo 1 (and a few times after that), I pissed myself when he started running at me, and it was just such a rush when in combat with them.

[Stealth]

I remember it took me a hour or two to learn to get the hog up there and kill them by runing them over, but that was before I learned to shoot at the skin.

[TIA Gangsta]

I remember it took me a hour or two to learn to get the hog up there and kill them by runing them over, but that was before I learned to shoot at the skin.

Yeah, my first few Hunters I fought I used the "Shoot and Hide" tactic. I know so many people who did exactly the same thing in their first encounters.
I mean, without having knowledge of them, that's what anyone would do.
When I first saw how easy it is to kill them by just running behind them and shooting/meleeing their skin...rather than shooting and hiding for an hour (and that's an hour per Hunter.)

[Stealth]

I can't remember what I did the first time I saw them, (it was 2 years ago) but I think I just ran and guned them and thought they where like any other AI in that game.
