Seriously, look at the pictures that bungie uses for their humpday challenges on their front page. They look pretty dang close to the announcement trailer imo. Check 'em out. www.bungie.net.

I think it will be the most impressive next gen game so far.

There is more to a Halo game that makes is impressive than just the textures and the polygons.

When was the last time you jumped in a car in GEOW and ran over some of the Locust, jumped out and fired a rocket at a flying enemy ship and watch it crash to the ground with physics while your friendly troops tried to dodge out of the way of the flame wreck.

Never. My point is that GEOW probably wouldn't look as good as it does if it had to deal with all the gameplay that Halo allows you to have. You can't even fly in GEOW and the levels are very small.

I think it is safe to say that Halo 3 will be much more impressive in terms of gameplay and on top of that I'm betting the graphics will be that more impressive because of it.

lol, no need to hate :P Taken fomr their FAQ Q What kind of graphics can we expect from Halo 3? A Halo 3's graphics will include the features seen in the real-time trailer and more, these are rendered using a new graphics engine, making the most of next-gen features like HDR (High Dynamic Range) lighting, pre-computed radiance transfer, and much, much more. The game will also take full advantage of the Xbox 360's HDTV capabilities. Q Did you say real-time trailer? A Yes. The trailer shown at E3 in 2006 was rendered in real-time using the in-game engine. All of the assets shown were running on an Xbox 360 debug kit and the trailer was built using the current engine and development tools. The development process continues and new graphics features may be added or changed at any time.

It looks good to me. Even more exciting is if you read the "Halo 3 Humpday" article it talks about how auto-aim has been toned down, at least for now. Whiners assuaged (possibly)?

It better. Running Crysis as smoothly as Halo 3 will run on 360 will requires a PC that is much more expensive than any console.

I don't see the point is comparing cutting edge PC games like Crysis to console games.

Halo 3 will look just fine, if nothing else, MS wouldn't let Bungie release it in a graphically substandard state.

Can't we just end this debate?

I think the graphics look fine. The textures are good and the lighting is great... In fact, everything's very easy on the eyes. I never saw what was so wrong with them...

Hard to say because other than WOW I'm not sure how popular multiplayer PC games are these days in comparison to Halo2.

Before  the Halo 3 alpha screens and vids were leaked, a lot of people actually did do that. If I remember correctly, I made a poll asking what game had better graphics, with Crysis, MGS4, and Halo3 in it. Guess who got the majority of the votes? Halo3.....

Why? You can't stand the truth? I am really not a Halo hater, but when people say the graphics look good, it's quite pathetic. Just because it's Halo doesn't mean it has to have good graphics to be good. If it has decent graphics, it's fine. I'm sure Halo3 will have better graphics when it's released, just not what people are expecting. You guys keep giving this "TEH ALPHA" excuse, and it just doesn't cut it anymore. Crysis is still in pre-alpha, and it destroys it. I am sick of people like you that keep making that excuse. I thought the E3 trailers was in-engine? So, if it was, then they must have had the engine looking that good already? But obviously not.

CS, BF2, and others all have more people playing it than Halo2, and have a MUCH large community. What do you mean by online support? Crysis' MP looks very interesting with it's new game mode "Power Struggle". Look it up. And since when did the most popular=the best? Anyways, PC MP games mostly always have a large online community and support than console games.

I don't think I mentioned any online support. I'm not aware of any new game modes in Crysis. I never said most popular = best.

I said it was hard for me to judge because I was unaware of the state of MP gaming on the PC. I stopped playing PC games about a year ago and I was never a fan of CS or BF.

I wasn't here for that but I would have voted on Crysis assuming you can do all the things in Crysis that you can do in in a Halo game, I think it would be fair to say that Crysis easily looks better.

I don't need convincing.  I think Halo is one of the sickest looking games still!  On the 360 in HD, Halo looks BA.

Halo 2 looks so freaking unbelievable in 720p on an HD monitor, that it almost looks like Halo 3.

Which means Halo 3 will be one of the best looking games this gen, and I can't wait.
