It was apparently announced that there would be a Halo 3 available upon launch.....I believe Perfect Dark Zero, and Project Gotham racing are supposed to launch at that time, too.
I think its more of Halo 2.5 or something like that.

BV :hat
 
wow, those are pretty impressive... rivaling Killzone 2, which means they were probably prerendered as well. :p

Does anyone else think this guy looks like J Allard?

If you think about it, those screenshots, while they look good, aren't really that taxing on hardware. The environment is just boxes with pretty high-quality textures on them, the street lights and such are just meshes, so it really only has to render the character and vehicle models. Everything's polybumped (FarCry) and bump-mapped anyway, so it's really not that much of a challenge for hardware to spit this out.

Actually not everyone uses this technique so it might still tax the hardware. Not to mention that it still needs to render lights and shadows. Also cloth effects and hair might tax the hardware. Oh and also particle effects.
