[QUOTE="FLamezero991"]Its only Beta so you cant really tell yet.ApocalypseXIVV

They arnt going to go from that to Crysis in a few months, what you see is pretty much what you are going to get...

Why does every Hermit/Cow think all games have to look like Crysis, or even that all fans want or need their favourite games to look like Crysis ???

Has Crysis become the pinnacle of gaming all of a sudden?

if ur an out of touch PC gamer whose only real good exclusive game for their $1500 system..then yes it has

I guess World in Conflict, STALKER, Hellgate: London, Spore, etc, don't count in the minds of blind, jealous lemmings... :|

You can tell by some of the responses in this thread that it doesn't matter how bad it looks, it will sell no matter the quality. Bungie is really phoning this one in. And sadly they will be heralded and praised along other developers that have actually put an effort into their big games this gen. Is Bungie afraid of using polygons or something? Why should the warthog look exactly the same as the Halo1/2? I think I could count the polys on that thing.. I mean we are talking about a generational difference. Halo3 looks like something you would expect from the next version of Halo on the same hardware with more polish. Bungie doesn't care, and apparently neither do the fanboys and thats just sad.

I think that the major problem is that halo 2 looked so damm good. Plus if you cant notice the better geometry and high rez textures then your blind. Ofcourse they want the orginal look and feel to remain the same, it was only one of the most popular games last gen.

Im starting to think that I'm the only person around that thinks this new stuff looks awesome....hell its even only a beta at this point. Also, I think its important to point out that even though halo 2 was last gen, it looked awesome too...

The lighting looks a lot better, but honestly, we are going from a last gen console to a next gen, HD console. Halo 2 improved A LOT from Halo 1, and both were on the same console. H3 is on a next gen, VERY POWERFUL console, and it cant show a graphical leap over the Xbox 1? COME ON BUNGIE!!!

 The gameplay looks excellent, but the graphics better improve

Wait until official screenshots come out from the beta instead of using these low quality ones and then do a comparison.

Halo 3 Will be impressive, when you buy this game and fire it up for the 1st time your gonna be amazed. I still can't comprehend why people are judging a game that isn't even out, it's totally beyond me. Oh, and MJPilgrim has the best picture ever.

I completely agree.  The graphical difference between Halo 1 and 2 was pretty amazing, so my expectations are quite high.  I've said before that I've put more hours into Halo than any other franchise, and I can honestly say I was pretty disapointed with Halo 2, but got over it as I put hundreds of hours into it.  I really, really hope bungie doesn't slack off on this project.  They can't just make this look like Halo 2 with some better textures (which is what they seem to be going for thus far), I want to see Gears of War quality graphics or better.  This is Halo 3 we're talking about.  If it doesn't match or exceed Gears for graphics, I'll be pretty let down.  This is the close to Microsoft's killer app series, Bungie needs to blow us away in every detail.  Anyway, it's still got a long way to go as far as developement is concerned, so there's no need to rant on about it too much.  The beta video did look somewhat promising, and it's nice to already see alot of improvements.

So Bungie is now at 200 employees working on Halo 3. At least ONE employee should look at the game and say, "Hey! This looks almost exactly like Halo 2, only in HD!"

Ok, look at it this way cynics:

In your eyes Bungie have been stuffing around for the past 3 years with Halo 3, as you assume from the so called garbage visuals of the game.

Well, it'd be stupid if they were stuffing around. So what is the logical explanation to this "absence" of hard work?

Maybe it's the gameplay.

no, it went from 50 to 100. :lol:

200 would be a tad excessive.

actually Frankie said about 2 years ago that there were 100 employees working for Bungie on Halo 2... So with your statement that would make it 200...

Production and employees in game design ramp up and down together. Sure 200 people may have worked on a project but that doesn't mean they saw it the entire way through. It's fairly comparable to the film industry in some respects.

It's only a Beta version....it already looks better than Halo 2....its gameplay is what makes the Halo franchise the best experience in all of gaming....

Yup, that's about all I have to say.

Beta version of games represents very close to final visuals... no major changes are going to occur. And if the difference is this small at any point with a new generation game, Halo3 is just plain meh graphically and there's no getting around it.

These threads should be locked.  First off those screenshots are taken with a point and shoot camera from a TV, incredibly small resolution, and the fact that Halo 3 is still in beta form pretty much invalidates this entire topic.

I know it's only beta or whatever, but Halo 3 is looking rather weak. I was hoping the graphics from the previous trailers. Guess I got my hopes up.

It looks better than Halo 2 in a 'GC vs Wii graphics' kind a way. Damn unimpressed.
