so basically what your saying is that graphics make a game good? id disagree with that, they should never ever EVERRRR be a selling point for a game, they should be the gravy on the potatoes, they should never be the whole meal
I just started playing the campaign again yesterday, actually. The graphics are beautiful and artistic. When I had previously played it, I didn't notice some of the better texture work in the game. Needless to say, it looks better than I remember. Although, some is bland. But the lighting and art is phenomenal. The one place that fell short were some of the faces for the character models. Overall, I dig the way Bungie makes their games look, so no, I hope they stay.
Hate on halo if you like, but at least hate on something that makes sense. Halo 3 had amazing textures. In fact im not aware of many games with textures as good as Halo 3's. :?
I guess I'm not a big graphics guy, because Halo 3 looked better than 2, and that's all I ask. Now if they had down graded, I would say WTF. I think a lot og graphics complaints are nitpicking.
Halo 3 has some damn good graphics. The art style isnt the same as Call of Duty so you just can't see it. And if you actually look at the game you can see that pretty much everything has a high amount of detail
The textures in that game are pretty amazing. Better than Killzone 2, Gears 2, and a lot of other games that look "better" than it. But yes, the engine is showing it's age. Which is why they're developing a brand new one for Halo: Reach. You shouldn't fire someone just because the graphics engine isn't up to par with other games. If that was the case, no Wii developers would exist.
Even though I think Halo 3 looks fantastic, the game offers a incredible, steady fps throughout the entire game (even the multiplayer). A steady fps is more important to me.
I didn't mind the graphics, I kind of liked them to be honest. The textures were fine with me, and the resolution wasn't terrible a lot of games are at the same resolution as Halo 3. Graphics are not everything.
One of the main issues I had with Halo 3 was its graphics, yes they were colourful but the textureand resolution was terrible. I'm not saying it was a bad game just it could have been much better if it didn't have below budget title graphics. The new Spyro game even has better graphics. Anyway ODST is going to look exactly the same 2 years later, that's a terrible move the game looked bad in 2007 and imagine how bad it will look when there's games like gears and killzone on the market. Either their graphics team sucks or bungie are just too lazy. Reach being console graphics king:roll:

Though I agree the graphics weren't all there, I do believe it was necessary to keep the game running smoothly. COD 4 and MW2 were built just the same but no one cares since the gameplay is 10/10. Remember in the end, gameplay wins over graphics, and as long as Halo 3 and ODST remain fun to play, they can get away with subHD graphics.

Anyone who has played Halo 3 would know that TC never touched the game.

Bungie is a AAA developer, with a brilliant team, and a promising future, one fanboy rant like this won't affect them. If you looked at Halo in an unbiased way, you could possibly find many saving graces to its graphics, plus solid shooter mechanics, and a hell of a story to complement it.
