Official Halo 3 Chat

What do you mean by couldnt get the right physics for the ATV?

 

For instance when the ATV was driver around a corner it would easily topple over, and they couldnt correct it.

 

i used to play atv offroad fury for the ps3. it was fun but the online died or something


and you know the reviewers that work on what will be put up about e3 on xbl will be by far partial to the 360, fidning everything that may make the ps3 look bad and overexploit it to the simple minded.

im sure g4's website will have the show up for download, but if not im sure it'll be on the web.

 

I dont want to go off topic however Im sure the PS3 will be amazing, but it will cost far to much. For instance the HD-DVD players have a intel pentium 4 chip in them, now for a technology not as advanced as the blu-ray players it will cost a lot. A HD-DVD player can cost around $500. This therefore makes me wonder if the 360 will ever get them.

Any way moving on. Halo 3 will be good

 

and my moment of off-topicness..

the blueray is owned by sony, and the cell is aswell, so they are basically royalty free. the manufacture of bd-roms is cheap and is little more than a dvd, but the players are harder to make being a smaller laser technology, so the ps3 may have problems is failing drives if the factory has any small flaw. i dont see the ps3 costing too much really, maybe retail at 450-500 and manufacture cost to be about 525.


k, so anything new about halo 3 or is there still absolutely nothing going on with it? someone would have snitched something by this time, but if they did it may have been dismissed as a rumor. i think they are working on something else at the time, and halo 3 is under second priority.

 

do you reacon that there will be an avp in halo 3??????
looks awfully similar to a quad bike except it has no handles. wonder why.

 

A quad is the same as a ATV.
Also I dont think there will me any aliens vs predators in Halo 3
I think Bungie will however try to sqeeze the ATV in.
Also it does have handles on top of the dash board, so the driver would ride it like a motorcycle.

 

i love quad bikes, once i rode one and drove into a tree (well not egzacally)...
cool bud how come they didnt include this in the extra download for halo 2?
they should have had enought time shouldnt they.
anyways halo 3 is gonna have all this suff in it.









im so excited about halo 3. (if iv made any errors in my typink its because im very tired k)

 

They didnt include it because there is no point. It would unbalance the game and it simply doesnt work with the physics they have on the game. therefore they couldnt.

 

are right the phisics are unrepairable because of the way theve programmed the game.




what idiots lol. na im joking hopfully halo 3 will haave a beter phisics in the game programming then

 

They have Havok physics - the best there is lol. Its just the way it is designed - the ATV it comflicts with other vehicles etc. its complicated.

 

the unreal engine pwns them all for flexibility, and the source engine has the most tweaks for gameplay.

 

sorry to post this so late... but i noticed on the first page someone said tom clancy games have less control over the character... has anyone here played G.R.A.W yet? NO SENSITIVITY SETTINGS!!!!!! why you might ask? simple. no one.. i mean NO ONE can complete a 360 spin while holding a gun in a firing ready position in a split second.

 

wow this thread sure came back to life, i had to read like 3 or more pages after only a week away from afterdawn haha. well with E3 on its way, thats understandable. lets hope they give us something to drool over !

 

To papa_face: keep in mind, the only advantage Blu ray has over HD DVD is disc space, and you could definitely say that the few extra gigs is not even needed.

To anubis66: Unreal is a graphics engine, not physics.

If you think about the ATV, it doesn't make sense. The military today doesn't use ATVs in combat; why would in the future against a much better enemy? But back to the Pelican (the start of this Mongoose tangent), that would make sense. It would allow for battles on a more epic scale, and increase the strategy in MP matches. The only real questions are balance issues, but those could be tweaked to keep it fair.

 

it still doesnt make sence to me why they couldnt include the atv because ive seen plenty of mods with it in their working just fine but whatever i guess it just wasnt good enought for the game.

 

well Bungie is infamous for putting some things in only single player, and/or not deciding to add stuff that wouldve been great for the game. i think they are saving all of the great ideas for halo 3 since it will end the saga. for example, you could fly the banshee in halo 1 campaign mode but not multiplayer unless you got a patch.

 

The main reason they didn't try too hard to get it in was probably just that it didn't fit the Halo universe. If you've seen the vids of it, MC is almost bigger than the vehicle itself. An ATV has no military purpose; it's just a scaled down Warthog, so it didn't fill a need. Bungie doesn't just throw stuff in because it looks cool, it has to serve a purpose and fit in with the universe they've created.

 

Dude, most people are generally bigger than ATVs anyway.......

 

I mean in a sitting position on the vehicle (i.e. torso and up). But that's a stupid and irrelevant point, so I don't know why: a) you brought it up, and b) why I'm bothering to respond to it. The issue is whether or not the ATV should be in the game, not how big someone is compared to it.
