Oh, and HD-videos should be up soon.

Did I mention that the link provides much more pictures? I think there are about 100 pics there...should make the waiting a lot easier. 

So after Halo 2 downfall, this is getting even deeper...

So much about hardware power to get to the stage where these graphics could be done on Wii. Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles looks better than that. 

More:

That looks good for Beta stage. I expect it to greatly improve thoughout the final build. Keep it up Bungie ;)xxcommixx

I take it you haven't seen too many games in beta before. I'll let you in on something, graphics don't often change much from beta to release. It's mostly gameplay touch-ups and performance optimization.

I hope for the fans sake that Bungie significantly improves the graphics; because for Halo to have been the best selling game on the Xbox, the graphics weren't its' strong point.  I probably shouldn't care since I don't like shooters, but for an Xbox 360 game it should be looking stellar.

Exactly what I was thinking. The graphics have never been Halo's selling point, but the amount of jaggies visible in those screens is kind of embarrassing. :(  I hope it does improve as much as some of you think it will. A flagship titles first outing on a new console should look spectacular. 

1) this is the FF beta, not the public one

2) this game is on such a different scale than gears

3) quit whining (in ahnold voice)

Nobody is crying. If Halo 3 is bad I just won't buy a 360. No sweat off my sack. I watched the video and still didn't think it looked very good. It should look better than it does.

Why should it look better than it does?  Did Bungie tell you it would?

the games graphics look very nice indeed, especially the explosion on the snow level. the capture seems to have gone abit weird though, i know for a fact there isnt that many jaggies in the game in alpha nevermind beta.

Eh? Fanboys hyping it up for 2 years told me it would. Everyone uses the OMG GRAPHIX argument to "own" PS3 and Wii until a game looks like this, then everyone switches to "graphics aren't important, looks good for beta, the pictures don't do it justice". Halo is an awesome series, it deserves to look better than this. You know if there are the slightest graphical defects in Lair all the Boxers jump all over it and say OMG THE COLORS ON THAT ONE SOLDIER ARE WASHED OUT! and somehow ignore the insane amount of jaggies and lack of textural detail that these Halo screens show. Just be consistent. Don't be mad at me for making an observation. I see far too many jaggies for a next-gen game.

Only time when a game actually LOOKS better as time goes on is on PC.

Actually when I asked "why should it look better than it does," I said so because I believe the graphics are "OMG GRAPHIX!!"  So yea, graphics aren't the most important thing to me, but luckily imo Halo 3 has it in spades.  Oh an the jaggies, blame the capture card.....download the video.....why do people judge images more strongly than video I'll never understand.  And when you find jaggies in the video, let me know.

To hell what people are saying about the game's graphics, the multiplayer looks awesome and I don't even really like Halo. People whining about the graphics probably never were going to play it anyway. If graphics aren't the selling point, the what the hell's all of the complaining about?

I'm sure the people that love Halo will not be disappointed. From what I've seen, it's going to be a hellava game and will continue the fine traditition of pissing the cows off.

Sweet.

hmm im scratching my head atm, and i think these shots look slighty better then UT2004. now what confuses me is UT2004 is a 3 yr old game, i would think Halo 3 beta shots should be like 5 times better looking the UT2004.  now im hoping the final build of halo 3 will look awesome, but ATM im not impressed at all.

But DualShocking said the graphics wouldn't improve from the Alpha :cry:Blackbond

it still doesnt look great.  its just regular.

What the hell? RE4 looks better. Even Rogue Leader was more impressive.

Half-Life 2 is looking more amazing than that and it's been released about 3 years ago. This game is not gonna score higher than Twilight Princess here.

Seriously, if you watch the video and can still tell me that it looks "ok", you are blind or a fanboy. Im a huge Halo fan, i mean if there wasnt Halo i wouldnt be playing games right now, but honestly all fanboyalism aside, the graphics are pretty frickin sweet and polished. If you deny it saying "but but teh Beta should lookszzzz betterzzz! thanss datzz!", you need to go buy yourself a 360 because its obvious you dont own one.

Im just sick of fanboys trying to attack Halo 3 for no reason, bashing the graphics when they CLEARLY look impressive

Halo 2 was at least awesome graphics at his time. One of the strong points of a FPS is the graphics. I'm not lying when I say I saw better looking Wii games and GC games than that. The 360 is suposed to be an HD gaming, so much for the HD when you can't properly deliver standard resolution experience.

Get Perfect Dark on N64 if gameplay is everything. 

That looks good for Beta stage. I expect it to greatly improve thoughout the final build. Keep it up Bungie ;)xxcommixx

Exactly. Watch the part on that snow map where he goes inside that underground bunker thing, check out the lighting, especially on the Spartan character model when he sticks that guy. Incredible.

Um did you read what I wrote? DualShocking claimed that it wouldn't ever look better then the Alphaand it clearly does.
