:shock: Wow, this game has definitely been graphically improved over the last few months. This is no Halo 2.5, this is Halo 3.5 if anything. Those screens made my jaw drop. :)

Uh, let's just leave it as Halo 3. As the title implies.

Halo 3= 9.5 here at GS or I'm mad :evil: If they do another 9.0 (cough Bioshock) when other reviewers are calling it the second best game of all time, I'm going to be pissed.

  Man Forge will be great, fantastic pics showing it off. And of coarse, the elephant in all of it's greatness. The video capture mode will be great for annoying your friends with past ownages.   Single player seems it will be great this time around as well.

Forge looks like a stripped down garry's mod...not that that's a bad thing of course, but halo 3 is looking something special, however if the next half life 2 only gets a 9.0 then what hope does it have?

Wowieowza! Though I practically pride myself on not caring about graphics, I must admit that when playing the beta I was slightly concerned about the graphics (not so much because I care, but because the mass public does and that could hurt its reviews, sales, etc.). Now those concerns are out the window. The sky... *said in a longing voice*

Looks absolutely amazing.

I don't think anyone can say halo 3 looks poor, or bad. It looks great. Can't wait to play it.

So, can we all put the fanboyism aside and have a general consensus of "Upgrade confirmed!"?

Cause although it isn't Crysis, it definately looks better than it did in Beta.

Looks like an oil painting.

If the clouds actually move in-game then I'll be impressed.

i just realized that while halo's sky is impressive, it's nothing compared to Shivering Isle's night time sky.

i'd post some pics but photobucket is doing maintainance at the moment.

It's called Halo's art style.

And if I'm not mistake, clouds were moving in Halo 2.

Not sure, but the physics engine doesn't strive for realism I don't think. I mean, it looks a bit more "hyper" than in real life.

By the way guys, the sky is like that because of that maelstorm that surrounds the ark I believe.

Gears and Bioshock are pure, visceral imagery. Appeals to young males of this generation for some very strange reason.

No, but since you brought it up: yes.

How many 40 year olds do you know that play Gears of War compared to those that play Halo?

How many mothers do you know that play Gears of War?

It's not necessarily a more mature audience, it's broader.
