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.'"

Hopefully Halo on Earth, not Halo inside spaceship

[spoogle]

Hopefully Halo will be "Halo on Earth", rather than "Halo in twisty mazes inside space ships and buildings".

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!
