Does halo 3 look that bad.

I have always seen people claim that the game looks horrible, and that the artstyle is bland and unintersting, too colorfull, which is a good thing to be honest.

But really, despite it's techical limitations, i don't think people should call this game bad looking, because quite honestly, i think it looks great.

It looks great....colors are beautiful and the lighting is amazing

No its not bad. It is just dated compared to the newer games.

I will admit the character models left a little to be desired.

I thought Halo 3 looked great, "technical limitations"?, massive draw distance, emergent AI battles, theatre mode whereas you can watch a whole level from multiple camera angles from any character perspective, sure doesn't sound limited to me.

looks ok but reach should be much better.

It's the bordline OK looking game. To simplify, by todays standards, yes, the graphics suck.

Halo 3 looks good enough, what matters for me is that it have one of the greatest implementations of physics in a console game.

it's a great looking game. the lighting and textures are excellent.

Halo has always been more about Art Direction over technical proficiency. Bungie had a clear and distinct vision of the universe of Halo, particularily with the design sense of the Covenant and the Forerunners.

Is embarrassing. Not only due the low res, low wireframe, lack of any AA and lack of polygon detail, but also because the game only runs at 30 fps (at the most). Here is how it looks in my top notch Panasonic PZ 85 46" 1080p (shooted by a good one Nikon CollPix 3100):

Even this guys looks terrified about how bad it looks:

Halo 3 does some things right but does a lot of things wrong graphically. I still think that environment textures and it's lighting are some of the best, and the draw distance in some areas makes me go :o still. Unfortunately character models are fugly as hell, and the game runs at a sub HD resolution with absolutely no AA, making it jagtastic. For a 2007 game it looked good enough, but it's getting dated pretty fast.

Its a game thats 3 years old of course it dosent look as good as a game out today! Halo 3 was never supposed to be a grafix kingz, it was supposed to be a fun balanced(unlike mw glitchfare 2)game and it was and still is.

It's good enough for me, considering how incredible the multiplayer action is.

Hell no, it looks fine. I actually loaded up the game the other day, and was impressed by how well it's aged. Remember, it was released in 2007.

But as someone else said, Halo is more about Art Design, which I think it does extremely well.

It's perfectly acceptable.

It's a good looking game, just not ranked with the best looking games. The lighting is fantastic in it.

In some games i don't care if it doesn"t look that good becouse it has great physics but Halo 3 have neighter so yes it does look that bad.silversix_

You really shouldn't be adding things like "I like cheese" to the poll because I ignored all the other options and chose that one because it is very tempting :P and I like cheese, anyways to the point, I thing that Halo 3 doesn't look amazing just pretty good or ok. Halo games never really were about graphics, they were never even close to graphics kings or anything like that, they are about gameplay and having fun. Its not "terrifyingly terrible" but its not "amazing that I just burned my own foot on my George Foreman Grill" (The Office reference :P).

It looks great and for its time (3 years ago) it was great.

I don't know about you guys but i think that Halo Reach will have better graphics then Gears of War 2.

Yes?

rite first of all pal, uve quite clearly taken these pics with a digital camera, so eh ye--shock horror, the game isnt gonna look all that great because of it....and actually looking at these pics, im quite impressed with the graphics still, considering it'll be three years old by the time Reach comes out..and graphics aside ur forgetting that that its one of the greatest games to grace the xbox 360 yet...looks arent everything as the Halo series has gone on to show at least 4 TIMES.

Halo 3's only real problem graphically is the aliasing, you can kinda tell they designed the game for SDTV's (which it looks excellent on)

Yeah, the faces were not the best they could be.

It looks good enough.

I think it looks great. It's very nice to look at. The faces and jaggies are the only things that I thought were pretty bad.

Halo is cow & sheepopinion proof. No matter what anyone says about it, its still going to sell. I can't figure it out, but it will.

I bet they can announce that there are no guns, the controller is strictly Natal, and the enemies are exactly the same as ten years ago (sorry thats already happened) and people will still flock to buy more Halo.
