It does for me anyway. Let me explain.

I own a Wii, 360, and Quad Core CPU. I love the Wii and think Metroid 3 is simply fantastic. I have been thinking that graphics dont matter as much and the Wii was proving my case. Halo 3 proved otherwise for me. Halo 3 is the first Halo game Ive played and last night I got to a level where you have to fight some Giant walking tank. Incredible. The graphics gave the sense (to me at least) that I was envolved in something truly epic at that point. I went to bed thinking about how amazing that battle was and how it was so immersive bacuse of how it looked and how you had to take it down. And during this there is a war all around you. Incredible.

The game has great graphics because of great hardware, HD only improves the quality of the image, the graphics are the same

Halo has great visuals because of its atmosphere. If every level was in uber-HD Crysis godliness but looked like the Library, I certainly wouldn't care.

Watching those scarabs explode was one of the more satisfying experiences any game has to offer, visually. Especially on Heroic or Legendary, where you have to actually work for your kill.

If graphics didn't matter we'd be on here discussing whether Clue or Monopoly was better (Clue ftw). Why settle for one? Give me both great graphics and great gameplay.

Bungie's design choice really paid off. The scarab fights are pure gold. There's ground troops everywhere, there's troops deploying from the scarab, there's aircraft shooting at it with enemy air craft shooting back. It's awesome :D

wow 2 of the best looking games ive ever seen are not HD. So I guess that kills all those nights I put in playing them just cause they are not HD. all those kills vs deaths, the sweet sent of molting armor from a flame thrower, the legendary joy ride i out in for the last film to be revealed, the countless hours of ownage Ive handed out as Ive only finished in mostly 1st or 2nd place except for one game. ALL THAT IS DEAD BECAUSE OF NO HD. oh no. please no why. why bungie? why did you do thiS? :roll:

See, I thought is just proved that art is more important than technical graphics. Halo 3 is by no means a graphical benchmark but its clear that the art (buildings, level design), lighting and how SMOOTH the game plays far outway some very poor graphics in other areas.

Actually, if halo 3 wouldn't have been in HD I would still have been stunned by what I saw. HD doesn't matter as much as people think. Design matters.

Meh, let him complain. Since fanboys can't run around screaming "OMG! TEH FLOP!!!11!" in regards to Halo 3's score, they have to find something to ***** about.
