IGN Claims Halo 3 At E3
IGN says that 'sources' have confirmed Halo 3 will be part of Microsoft's E3 Event. From the article: "The video is allegedly two minutes long, although its contents weren't divulged. We're guessing a wild breathtaking battle on Earth. Knowing Microsoft, the publisher will want to show all real, in-game engine footage to counter Sony's fantastical CG videos from E3 2005. When Microsoft was contacted, the company issued its standard reply, 'We don't comment on speculation and rumors.'"
I played Halo 2 first and found the environments all a bit^H^H^Hlot samey.
Then I played Halo (1) and loved the way it alternated interior with exterior levels.
I guessed that they tried to save money on Halo 2 because outdoor environments are more demanding on the machine and time-consuming to develop.
Here's hoping - lots of luscious outdoors environments, please!

If you haven't seen it you should check out this MGS4 demo clip; this is definately real-time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSDudPTOznE&search= metal%25%20gear%25%20solid%25%204
It looks like at least the MGS4 footage was real
