What Can We Expect From Halo 3
What To Expect With Halo 3
When Microsoft released a game called Halo: Combat Evolved for their Xbox console in 2001, no one could have predicted the strong impact that it would have on our culture. With several games made as part of the series now as well as novels, comics, and other associated merchandise, the Halo series is one of the biggest successes for the Xbox console. Now, in 2007, the latest release in the series, Halo 3, is due for release in September. What can we expect from Halo 3? Lets take a look at what will come with this new game:
Improved Graphics
As the title that can perhaps be considered the flagship of the Xbox systems, Halo 3 has a lot to live up to in the graphics department. However, Halo 3 is a release for the new Xbox 360 system, so it should boast even better graphics, thanks to a new graphics engine designed by Bungee Studios, the creators of the Halo series. Improvements include increased draw distance, which will simulate being able to see as far as over 10 miles, and increased realism in the graphics, such as better rendering of water reflection and refraction.
Better Sound
The Xbox 360 is capable of putting out 5.1 surround sound audio, and Halo 3 will make use of this technology, which should result in a more cinematic experience. Care has been taken to make the sound more realistic, with improved sound effects for gunfire and AI controlling the dialogue in the game to make dialogues flow in a smooth, realistic manner.
Great Multiplayer
As with many games in the Halo series, Halo 3 has a robust multiplayer mode. This includes rankings of players to help ensure that players of comparable skill levels are matched up in competitive matches. In addition, there will be options for customizing the look of your character in multiplayer matches for Halo 3. For those who want to analyze their play or just relive their successes, there is a feature to record films of your multiplayer matches for later viewing.
A Conclusion To The Story
The tale spun in the Halo series is that of humanity fending off an alien invasion, and Halo 3 makes the last installment in a trilogy that tells this story. The improved graphics, sound, and AI all serve to complete the story of the Halo series. For those who are interested in finding out what happens within this story, or for those who just want to blow things up, Halo 3 promises to satisfy! Look for the release of Halo 3 this fall.
