Halo Reach actually had me in awe (Post your Reach GIFS!)

Look how smooth it looks, the shield effects, the scale of the maps. The particle effects.

I dont know if its anyone else, but Halo 3 players must all feel the same. This stuff absolutely destroys halo 3! Look! When the Elite dies no more weird legs spread positions. And cool death animations! If anyone has more GIF Halo Reach images, could I see some? Plz someone get one where the elite stabs the dude in the back :)

I think we can all agree that after watching Gametrailers premiere of Halo Reach, not only does the game have fantastic graphics, but it looks like the most badass Halo multiplayer yet! The animations look fantastic, the guns look great, the modes will be exciting, all of the effects added look amazing, this is GOTY 2010 multiplayer right here.-RocBoys9489-

Thanks NeoGAF!

Check my sig also for another Halo:Reach clip.

I love the new shield effects and death animations. Also, Armor Lock looks beastly and the Jet Pack animations are smooth. On a side note, does anyone know what Invasion is exactly? I know it's going to be a "three tier" game-type that unlocks more of the map as you progress, but how exactly do you unlock the map and what is the objective of the game? I saw "Invasion Slayer" somewhere in there.

I dont understand all this hype for its graphics. its a big improvement over halo 3 but there are much better looking games

huh? people can't get excited about Halo Reach, an actual game?

where as dozens of cows get excited over Kevin Butler because Sony has him bash other platforms:roll:

we all know which one is counter-productive here....

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="G-O-M-J"]People have different opinions.G-O-M-J

yeah.

for some of us, it's content. and Reach looks like it will destroy in that area and the replayability will be through the roof. Graphics are just gravy.

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="G-O-M-J"]People have different opinions.G-O-M-J

Agreed. People seem to be focusing on graphics. People are just happy to see that Reach looks nice, noticeably better than Halo 3. Most people are more hyped for upcoming beta for obvious gameplay reasons.

People have forgotten what Halo 3 looks like, Reach's graphics look almost identical with the obvious tad improved lighting. Gameplay wise is where its at anyways, about time bungie made changes to the age old forumula, you can now dive, stealth kill, jet packs, thanks to the ammount of inflences out there.

Two questions ...... what's that new shield abillity that I saw the Spartan use where he just stands still and Did I just see a Spartan try to left hook a dude ??Nonstop-Madness

Lol, y'all a tad defensive....all I did was call it a generic FPS....and it damn well is(and you must know it), that's why you all found the comment so irritating, obviously.Kan0nF0dder

what is so much more original with the games you posted above?

Halo was never never generic when it first came out. You may think it's generic now, and I'm sure the plethora of shooters coming out after it helped make it look generic.

it hasn't changed a lot, and at the same time it has. Generic, I would deem subjective, I'll go enjoy that generic shooter on May 3rd anyhow.:|

You see, this is what I don't understand. People say this looks slightly better than Halo 3. That is a lie.

It has higher fidelity models for characters and guns. The art style is altered through the use of muted colors and film grain. Human faces have received a notable upgrade. Animations are smoother. Bungie has confirmed some level of AA to deal with the jaggies that plagued Halo 3. What more could you guys want before people admit it looks significantly better than Halo 3?

you stated what it does, but you didn't name it:P

it's called Armor Lock, just apply his definition to the word provided lol.

[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"][QUOTE="Kan0nF0dder"] Ha, no that's hardly 'bashing'...am I not allowed to have a negative opinion of Halo?...it has been a generic franchise from the very start. If the multiplay weren't so great it would've long been forgotten - yet it never gets close to being as fun a TF2, UC2, BF2...Kan0nF0dder

It doesn't help when your all your messages in the thread only serve to annoy others.

If you wanted to debate whether or not Halo deserves praise or criticism you're free to it. But you are just repeatedly calling it generic without explaining yourself.

it wasn't directed at you exactly.

I was just testifying as someone who thinks of graphics after features/replayability and what not. TC clearly had an eye for the improved visuals, but I don't think the entire thread was aimed at those visuals. I don't blame people or anything for thinking that, but it seems that the everyone mentioned classifys the fans of the game only to be after the better visuals.
