I'm sorry. Personally, it's just a meh looking game. When you see gears of war, kill zone, and especially uncharted you would entirely disagree. Thats not even including the PC. The vistas and big areas looks pretty but up close...it's not that great, i think you would be better to argue gears 2 personally WadeFan
I'm big PC gamer who can run Crysis at max....and own a U2 KZ2 and Gears 2. And let me tell you Reach may look worse than U2 and KZ2 (slightly) but it does look much better than Gears 2 and personally think they are very very underrated.

call of duty black ops lighting is better than halo reach or killzone2.

the lighting/shadows honestly makes both of those games look bad.

in one black ops level u can shoot some chandeliers and make them rock back and forth and the lightsource moves/cast shadows.

killzone2 has chandeliers u can shoot and make move back and forth, but they dont have actual lightsource casting shadows like black ops lmao :)

see the hanging light? u can shoot it and make it move back and forth it's actual moveable lightsource u can see it casting shadow.

in killzone2 they have similar light hanging lights u can shoot..but it's not actual lightsource casting shadows like black ops.

I think Halo's graphics are decent and are underrated in some way's however its Halo's very bland "look," presentation and over all art style that just make the game look incredible dull. The Halo world looks so lifeless and dated to me, everything about it is presented in that manner.

nope the moveable light fixtures in killzone2 dont actually cast a lightsource/shadow like black ops.

black ops lighting and shadows destroy killzone2 and halo reach.

killzone2/halo reach have no moveable lightsources casting dynamic shadows.

see the actual lightsource moves with the light fixture when it moves and it cast shadows.

for the light fixtures in killzone2 the dev just added static lightsource in general area of light fixture doesnt move with the light fixture and cast shadows.

black ops lighting>killzone2s.

Far from it. Although it does look noticeably better than any of the other installments, it isn't a graphics powerhouse by no means. It went from a decent looking game with Halo 3, to a very good looking game in Halo Reach. Black Ops looks better in terms of FPS imo.I even liked the look of Call of Juarez BIB, which looked amazing, and was a much better looking game than Halo Reach, and also very underrated.

No, it's not. Like the STALKER series, it's less than the sum of its parts graphically, although the strong artstyIe helps.

call of duty black ops is probley the best looking console shooter overall.

the amount of detail in the levels kills basically any other shooter.

I think it's one of the best looking games this gen if you take art direction into consideration. Those images are pretty awful though.

I realize Halo 3 is not a native 720p game, but they really shouldn't have upscalled to 720p. All those images lack the sharpness that comes with a native pixel to pixel resolution, that very slight blur that comes with upscaling; even a little.

It would be if it wasn't for the jaggies, which pretty much ruined some parts of the game for me (the city level). Reach would have looked fantastic with The Force Unleashed II's DLAA.

well call of duty levels are more realistic than halo reach or killzone2 duhh lol.

but this makes the levels more complex pretty much, because of all the worntorn broken up buildings and foliage everywhere.

Not really. It doesn't look bad by any means. It looks solid, both artistically and technically. But it's definitely not one of the top 10 or even the top 25 best looking games of this gen.

see halo reach has alittle bit of foliage, but no wartorn buldings to hide in really, killzone2 has wartorn buildings sorta, but not much of them and hardly any foliage.

that's why call of duty looks more detailed, the levels have tons of wartorn buildings plus a good amount of foliage going on.

soldier of fortune 2 was ported to the original xbox in 6 months dude, people gave it bad reviews because graphics werent as good as pc, but it's actually not bad, the framerate was more solid than halo reach that's pretty sad.
