Do you guys think that the graphics might be bad on purpose so when they release the actual game the graphics will make you say wow?

No, they are "bad" (quotation marks because it still looks good) because its a beta, the idea is to get the gameplay as good as possible so that people can test the actual important functions of the game, and then improvements can be made based on the users suggestions.

No game has ever done that (that didnt end up getting delayed almost a year), and no developer would spend resources on so many assets they werent going to use.

Is it really so hard to admit that Halo 3 just looks above average?

why do you think all we have seen from the SP is a build from 7mths ago...the MP graphics will be less detailed and will prob be pretty close to what you see now but will be polished up a bit...the SP when they finally show it will shut alot of people up

And how do you know no game was in Halo3 state ever ? Not all games are shown to the public this early, the best you get are some target pics

And you HAVE the target pics of Halo 3, it was that real time trailer back then, THOSE are the graphics we will get in november, now the graphics are BETA, just that, everything can and will change

A flagship title not living up to a target render? OMG teh huge manatee!

Fanboys will never admit anything sensible. They will always flip-flop between the most recent news/hype.

The graphics probably aren't going to get much better.  They probably want it to run a full 60fps in multiplayer without dipping.  Single player might be a lot better though.
