I personally love the game, and when i played the beta it got me even more excited for the full release. Heck, i even have the legendary edition pre ordered! As I played the demo, because i am not graphics whore, i was saying to myself that this looks rather pretty. I was also happy with the overall gameplay, it felt a lot more like HCE than H2. I wouldn't call myself a Halo fanboy by any means, but i love the game. It just bothers me when people on these forums compare the graphics to games that have it far beaten (again, not in gameplay, but graphics). Its just silly to compare it to something such as Gears, Killzone, RE5, Mass Effect, Crysis (especially), and games like that. I just thought that Halo fanboys should know that they can still hype Halo 3 as having awesome gameplay, and just being a great game, but it definitely does not have the best graphics

Amazing Graphics depend on your expectation.Your expectation may have been a bit unrealistic!

Halo 3 looks really good, but I agree it's nothing amazing. It looks like what a nextgen Halo should look like. Though you have to admit it does have nice texture work and the water is very pretty.

no, i don't care about the graphics. There were actually no expectaitons for me, as long as it played well and looked better than H2, and at least looked nice. Its just strange seeing people on these boards comparing its graphics to games that clearly have better

Halo 3 shows what I would expect Halo's art style to look like after getting a next-gen makeover. What more can you expect?

i love the way you can interact with the environments, according to what bungie has said. I don't see what's wrong with halo graphics that people don't like...

Halo 3 doesn't blow me away at all. It looks good but not as impressive as I was hoping. I can care less though, I'm not getting Halo 3 for it's graphics.

Graphics of Halo 3 are merely above average, but that's not why people are buying it. So it's okay.

Sure, Gears Owns it, but Gears is only 8 players, whereas Halo is 16.

That's going to drop the graphics down a bit, not to mention the vehicles,etc.

That's why Resistance was so neat to see, as it sported 40 player matches with good-Great graphics, but people don't get it.

I say to them, go play MYST.

rfom graphics blew. It had a good artstyle though. Hopefully rfom 2 fixes this. Should be coming out in 2008, by insomniac track record.

They're not amazing, but they're not crap like some Hermits/Cows would have you believe. The game looks great, and the Halo series wasn't the most graphically impressive last gen anyway.

It's been stated numerous times that the SP looks way better than the MP.

Agreed. It wasn't made to have amazing graphics. It was made to scrape as much cash as possible out of the Halo franchise. :P
