Literally everyone in the gaming world has now seen the Halo 3 announcement trailer. Many have started ripping it apart looking for clues as to what we will see in Halo 3.

One person said that the their could be a new more powerful race in Halo 3 as the covenant seemed to run from the big bowl powering up in the trailer. Someone else pointed out the fact that Master Chief in Halo 2 didn't experience fall damage, yet he finds himself backing off a crumbling cliff scared of falling down, so maybe fall damage is being reintroduced.

Of course, all of these 'theories' are nothing more than speculation. So instead of trying to search for hidden messages and easter eggs we thought we'd compare the new Master Chief from the old one using the new E3 screenshots. All we want to do is point out some of the differences between Master Chief in Halo 2 and Master Chief in Halo 3. So here goes.

With this side on shot of Master Chief the most obvious difference is the colour. The new MC has been given a darker more camoflauge like sage paint scheme. Also you can see damage on the suit from what appears to be gun fire or something similar to that. Maybe this means that in Halo 3 if you get shot you will lose a chunk of your armor, which is unlike Halo 2 where your body suit never experienced visible damage.

The battle armour on the whole has gone through a slight design change to make it look a little bit more swish on the Xbox 360. The gun which isn't really revealed in the above Halo 3 pic, has also changed. The new gun is reminiscent of the Assault Rifle from Halo: CE. It seems to be slightly modified, but still follows the same design from the Halo: CE assault rifle.

Finally Master Chief looks a lot better in terms of graphics (yes I know ones next-gen the other isn't), he looks a lot more polished up, the edges in his suit aren't so sharp and on the whole he's just nicer to look at, I mean you wouldn't expect anything less from a game being created on a more advanced console.


This second comparison shoot shows the two MC's looking straight at the camera. Now the most noticeable difference is the new vizor for Halo 3. It still has that pattern from Halo 2, but its a rs to be gun fire or something similar to that. Maybe this means that in Halo 3 if you get shot you will lose a chunk of your armor, which is unlike Halo 2 where your body suit never experienced visible damage.

So there we have it, Club Skill's little mini comparison of Halo 2's Master Chief and Halo 3's Master Chief. The real question though, is whether or not Halo 3 on release will ever be able to match the great Halo: CE and Halo 2? Only time will tell.
