The Best Damn Halo 3 Plasma Grenade Video Yet

No spoilers. Just watch. Repeat if necessary. Finally, appreciate the Halo 3 "Saved Films" feature.

[pwnsause]

Stop Making PS fanboys (Like ME) look bad!!! I posted this video because it was an amazing kill.

[ATLRoAcH]

I to am a PS3 FanMan (FanMan I like that.....trademark you know what I'm talkin 'bout) but this is one great kill.Why do people hate?

[joydestroy]

yeah that was pretty awesome.
thanks for sharing.
+bubbles.

[WafflesID]

That was so amazing that I almost retract my statement about the physics in halo 3 being worthless.

[PS-Wii-60]

Here's another. It's not Halo3 but,
It's the Best Damn Halo2 Double Kill Video Yet

http://gamevideos.com/video...

[pwnsause]

OMFG that was awesome! XD

[d3l33t]

stoned @ss mothers. that was a lucky shot though

[asdlfkj3498as]

man that was funny as hell! I had to show everybody in my family! lol

[Chris_GTR1]

daaaaaammnnn, that was a really lucky throw.

[Honcho]

HA HA. that was so awesome!! Lol

[BIadestarX]

that's an example of the great physics in this game. I'm sure developers didn't plan for Plasma Grenade to be used this way...

[WafflesID]

For once I have to disagree with you.

The physics in this game (and this doens't even qualify as a good example of a complex physics engine) doesn't have any impact on the gameplay at all.

Take a game like half-life 2 and bioshock to name just two, and the physics actually impact the gameplay.

You don't need havoc to do what halo 3 does, which is mostly just for ragdoll after a death and explosions.

The fact that halo 3 plays EXACTLY like halo 1 and 2 proves this. Physics are just for show in this game.

And seriously....if the physics are so good then how the hell can I literally fly across the map when someone melees me when I melee them at the exact same time? FLY ACROSS THE MAP. Seriously...thats just retarded.

[jaja1434]

Well obviously the physics does affect game play, as without it, that guy would have never had been hit by the grenade...

And in any event Halo never really had life-like physics. Hell you can almost just 2 your height, and just pressing a button flips a tank over.
Anyways different isn't always bad so...

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

@ Wafflesid.

When you get hit with a melee and fly across the map, it's because the guy you were shooting had put more rounds into you than you put into him, therefore you lost the fight.

You flew across the map because you got hit by a cyborg. Every schoolboy knows cyborgs can flip tanks with one hand.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

I took out 3 brutes with one shot from a Sparten lazer, check it out below. One shot is just me showing off the kick ass lighting in Halo 3 enjoy.

@ whoever dissagreed, WTF show yourself. What are you calling me a lier or somthing because there was nothing to dissagree with, the screens are mine you f**king Droid.

[Ignorant Fanboy]

Looks like Halo shot a laser right through the PS3's heart.

We know its dying, put it out of its misery with a plasma grenade.

[Kleptic]

nice shot...its a cool weapon...

Edit: nevermind...I saw the last pic in the warthog...thats the lighting you were talking about...apologies...

but I have to ask...where is the "lighting" you are talking about?...thats a bright color...not lighting...look at the ground, its just green as always, with no ambience from the extremely bright red laser just two feet from it...

I am not saying the game doesn't have good lighting...the HDR is some areas is really good...just pointing out that the pic you attatched doesn't show off anything...

and by the way I didn't click disagree...

[Jdash24]

OHHH NICE!!!!!! thats a keeper..............beautiful grenade.........but this isnt news....just a cool vid

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

they need a media/youtube style blade here because I love looking at things like this and I don't use these forums.

[BloodySinner]

WOW! Really lucky throw.

[Rockstar]

That is awesome. Betcha he was wondering where that came from.

[no_more_heroes]

that was the g@yest thing I've ever seen in the 18 years that I've been alive. Now excuse me while I quickly go pop some pain killers for this intense pain in my side.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Best, grenade throw I have ever seen.

[akaFullMetal]

didnt know the grenades could float, or hover whatever and be thrown where ever, cool vid

[pwnsause]

its all in the physics. think of it like this, that machine is what skydivers use in real life, you know how much force that takes to lift a human body right?

[konrad]

Where is the physics? People walk in the air. Take a look at the man with grenade:)

[Rasulis]

I didn't realize grenades could burst into a ball of burning plasma and stick to nasty looking aliens either. It's a game.

Konrad just because the physics aren't based on the newtonian laws we know and are use to doesn't mean there isn't physics engine in the game.

[Bonsai1214]

wow.. that was soooo lucky.. haha. none the less, highly entertaining. like the time my entire T side died going through DD on aztec because of 3 nades..

[xionpunk]

i changed my mind, the record feature in halo is awesome.

[BIadestarX]

Let's hope developers start adding it in future games. I wish COD4 had this feature too... we can always hope for COD5.

[Proxy]

Yes, the record feature is one of the main things that draws some jealousy out of me. Halo 3 looks like a quality game, and that record feature is awesome. The advertising all those awesome videos will give the game makes the feature more than worth the effort.

[gano]

A goddamn good kill.

[Wii60_FTW]

now that you mention it, that was a goddamn good kill.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Thats a throw for the record books there fellas.

I wonder what was going through his mind immediately after. Zomg wtf?!

[WafflesID]

With something like that I dont think ANYONE would know it happened until AFTER the match and they watched the video.

As far as the thrower is concerned it just landed directly on the guy he threw it at and never made it to the vent.

And the victim? Hell, how many times have you been stuck by a grenade and not see who threw it?

[pwnsause]

BTW Im sorry I posted this, I know its not news related at all, I just want people to see how well Halo uses its Physics engine. a grenade being lifted by air is quite possible in real life if you use one of those High powered fans that skydivers use to train.

[rosko486]

The reason those fans lift a human is because of surface area. A grenade has such a large weight to surface area ratio that it wouldn't happen.

[Rasulis]

You're seriously critiqueing halo based on realism. That's like critiqueing a science fiction book or movie based on realism.

I'm not sure about you, but I've never had the chance to get the weight to surface area of aburning plasma grenade.

[ceedubya9]

Sure, its not exactly news, but its an entertaining game vid that is a must see. I can't wait to see more of these spectacular kills in the near future. Hopefully I'll have one to show off myself.

[rosko486]

First of all, I'm not the one that initially brought up the fact that an indoor skydiving machine could do this. I never said plasma grenade in particular and neither did any of these other people claiming this is possible in real life. It got a bunch of disagrees and I think that is hilarious. Why don't all of you people who disagreed go to your local indoor skydiving center and give it a try for yourself and then come back and insist that it's still possible so you don't look like a complete jack*ss. By the way, take the 'e' out of critiquing so you'll sound more professional when you're trying to call someone out.

[xplosneer]

Just plain sweet.

[Fade_Walker]

wow...that just made my day

[midgard229]

holy crap lol, that was funny

and i have a ps3 but doesnt mean people need to bash, freakin tards, halo is amazing, and the graphics are definatly better than halo 2s
i didnt even care if the graphics stood the same aslong as gameplay went up

[Shaka2K6]

Welcometo 2004.

[sticky doja]

I only hope to be able to pull of something like that. Nice find PWNSAUCE

[FirstknighT]

I FU*KING LOVE THE SAVED FILMS! Nice stick! But I get those daily! ;)

[drsfinest72]

absolutely amazing! lolz bet you cant manage to do that again.

[SlaughterMeister]

Best. Kill. Ever.

[Bolts]

I was expecting something cool. You guys obviously haven't seen any BF2 vids. Talk about amazing there's this one where the specops dude jump out of a Blackhawk and blowup a passing fighter below him. Now that takes skill not luck.

[AcidRhain]

I hate you.

[mesh1]

i love the using the bungie in vallhala and lets down nades man ivce killed so many ppl like that

[Wii60_FTW]

holy f*ck, that's awesome. and without saved films, this never would have been seen by ANYONE. this is yet another reason why halo 3 destroys all sony dogs. =]

EDIT: um, sony dogs are halo haters.

[midgard229]

y u bashing sony for no reason??? lol, i luv both ps3 and 360, just hate halo haters not people who own a sony system, so predjudece

[Daxx]

Awesome Sauce! XD

[u got owned]

that's awesome... lol

This is why the theater feature in Halo 3 is so awesome, because in moments like this you can always go back and share it with the whole world ;) No fanboy can deny that this is awesome.

Developers should take note and learn from Bungie.

Halo 3 babyyyyyyy. GOTY...

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

If i was the guy getting stuck i woulda been so pissed until seeing this vid..SO awesome!

[Jinxstar]

Thats hilarious.

[Spinitus]

sick sticky

[BLACKJACK VII]

Man what an UNREAL game !

the THEATER RULEZ !!!

BUNGIE ROCKS !!!

[Relientk77]

if i was the guy who died from that ... id be flipping sh!t..... and if i was the guy who died from that and it was on vid on the internet id be flippin the fvk out lol

[SmokeyMcBear]

don't get me wrong, cuz that video is funny as hell, I would have been pissed though if that nade attached to me, like a wtf moment. But you guys are talking about physics.. oh man look at the physics, and im saying man, this is an example of horrible horrible physics. Ok, so that same lifting force that can levitate a spartan, a pretty huge dude, with full armor, weighing much much more than a normal human being, this same lifting force is lifting a puny little grenade at the same rate, the same velocity, the same everything that lifts a spartan????? that grenade should have shot up into the air and out of the map. Also where the hell did it get later momentum, it was being thrown the other way, gets caught in the field, and instead of just floating upwards or hovering or something, it travels the opposite direction of its initial velocity and lands right on the dude, well unless spartans haver their own gravitation force, I have no idea how this happens.. well besides all the physics talk, that was a funny a$$ video. The video recording aspect of the game is something to be marvelled.

[WafflesID]

Nade video = Awesome.
Halo 3 physics = pointless.

I agree with you man.

[Wile]

the lifting power comes from air friction.

Spartan has more surface area = more lift
Spartan weights more = more mass resisting lift
Plasma grenade has less surface area = less lift
Plasma grenade weights less = less mass to resist lift

Get it?

[SmokeyMcBear]

ahhh nevermind, it just doesnt add up, the amount of thrust that needs to launch that spartan would launch that plasma grenade, especially the way it behaves in reference to a regular grenade

[ShiftyLookingCow]

wow what a d'bag! its a game! The lift is probably not based on real life physics, probably all it does is tell Havok engine to lift any object(instead of only players) in its vicinity with a definite speed and direction independent of the object's mass or surface. UT usually has lifts peppered here and there, lets see how it implements them.

[pwnsause]

There you go, thats what I was going to say, you do know your physics

[SmokeyMcBear]

ok ok, air friction, sure why not, and the fact that this is a freaking other world with most likely other physics, but how in the hell does it reverse direction, seriously

[Jones Miller]

You know you´re f?cked when plasma stick to your shoulder! LOOOOOOOL

[HondaSIRowner]

That was a sick. Those dudes must be pissed if they've seen that replay LOL.

[rowdy 1]

This game is so lame. Where's the realism in that crap. Please and this is the best game on 360. What a joke. Gears still rules the roost. Silly rabbit tricks is for kids.

[Rasulis]

Bungie wasn't trying to make Halo3 realistic. That's like complaining about Unreal Tournement not being realistic, or better yet, complaining about Socom Navy Seals being to realistic.

The game was made to be unrealistic in the way it is. It's not like you're playing an alien invasion simulator or something.

[PS360PCROCKS]

lmao that was so hilarious...and how do you ps3 fans turn a cool video into a flame war? who CARES if this is Halo 3, it's just funny

[codeazrael]

Well, in the video game world, this is one of those moments...........this sh*t just don't happen everyday!

[PS360PCROCKS]

yeah. lmao. Preseason. Arizona Diamondbacks. Randy Johnson.

[-SIXAXIS-]

That was THE best kill ever. I wish I had those skills online :(

[Cyber Ninja]

Too bad that was not on purpose though it doesn't take away from the coolness... Also did any one but me notice something missing in the vid? Where is the plasma stick symbol u get after a mofo gets stuck?

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

When you hit 'Y' to get into free-floating camera mode, no HUD-type messages show up.

Ex. Kills, medals, etc.

[OOG FunK]

thx for showing me how much luck u have :( lol nice tho even tho it was unintended now next time when u try it that will be great

[colony]

Nice! bet that guy was throwing his control around his room when\if he saw this kill himself XD

[JokesOnYou]

it was luck but I'd love to have a saved film with a kill that awesome. Saved films + Halo3= you will definitely be seeing alot of kickass kills. I cant believe sonykids are talking about physic's being unrealistic in a game with aliens, ha ha but I'm sure sony exclusives like HS physics are realistic= just enjoy the vid and stop hating=

JOY

[THAMMER1]

D@MN!!

[Asuka]

damn, now that's some grenading!! i want to try that!

PS- i don't know how this ever got approve because this isn't actually news worthy, even if it is cool.

[Auron]

I go through this website and find all kinds of crap that inst news that gets approved.
Anyways
Great Vid!

[FourtyPoundSteak]

classic. Halo = pure fun... thats all "games" should be.
