big maps are like u gotta walk forever just to find anything interesting lol, because it's mostly copy and pasted crap so it makes them boring.

In Stalker games you can walk through levels doing nothing, but you still will enjoy the atmosphere. Simply exploring the dark corners of the Zone is great. Like "what is hidden in that ruined house?", "what awaits me inside that abandoned bunker?", "oh, what the f*** is that?!" *runs away*.

This is the PC version. It's not fair to compare it to Reach:P

Those screens look like very low budget PC graphics. I guess that's why they call them consoles.

I really enjoyed the game. And it was quite good looking too. Certainly served the game well. The sense of scale was amazing too - you had absolutely huge levels. The game is definitely worthy of the plaudits it receives, and Bungie deserves the credit for creating a great game, but as for best looking graphically, that's subjective. There are definitely games which have more detailed models. But when it comes to a lot of things, no one does it better than Bungie.

It is one of the best looking games I've played last year. I think its in the top 5 best looking games on the 360. The games art helps it a lot.

Game looks good but its deff not one of the best looking. Red Dead Redemption, Mass effect 2 both look better and they came out earlier.

There are better looking games in 360 and PS3 but i agree Reach looks amazing, especially the lightning and particle effects. Probably in top 10.

Gamertag? If you've truly played you would know the game is not what you said it was.

atix1800xtpe?

the graphics suck, u dont even get to see the spartans face's without helmet only in cutscene's and the regular human marines the character models suck horribly.

I don't think the graphics suck, that's going a little bit far, but they aren't the best looking by no means. Draw distance is very good and the textures are much better than previous installments. Character models are a little bland, but I don't pay much attention to them in the cutscenes.

Art style aside, technical merits alone would put Reach top 5 easy. That is a fact and can't be challenged. The Temp. AA skews the per object motion blur a little, but that is the only iffy part. The engine itself is extremely impressive. I'd LOVE to see this engine on a PC with boosted resolution and AA.

[QUOTE="worknow222"][QUOTE="Avian005"]Yes, yes they are. :P It really comes down to if you like Halo's artistic look or not. I love it, but I admit it's not one of the best looking games this gen. Doesn't mean it looks bad or average.

Avian005

the art design gives great detail the spartans and the elites

I loved the look of the Elites. They seemed more like Halo:CE/Halo 2's counterpart than the Halo 3 ones. Fighting against Elites again was great.

to state what i would of stated before but got a kicking per say yeah the elites were BEAUTIFUL some of the best detail and textures on a enemy if not the best, lol I zoom in and go :O at the detail and the AI FINALLY!! the AI was back to it's Full on glory

The levels look bland. Characters look stupid. I guess they compensate each other.

Reach was a great game but I don't really play my consoles expecting to have my socks knocked off (graphically speaking :P) this late into a gen. It was a very highly polished package all around though.

The pictures in the original post are actually counter productive here because they aren't visually impressive at all.

In terms of just the overall artistic look and feel I would absolutely agree with the OP.

Halo is a much better looking fps than most others this gen despite some of them being more "realistic" in some ways or more "technically impressive" in some way.

Basically I'd much rather look at Halo Reach than most of the other supposed "Grafix Kings" fps games out there.

Thread title is not the most beautiful looking game this gen just bear in mind. And apart from the skybox, I don't see much aesthetic beauty either say compare to a game like Uncharted 2.

I agree. Even though the tech doesn't always hold up, the styling is outstanding.

They're definitely good, but hardly the best looking. Gears of War 2 was launched more than two years ago and it *still* has better graphics than Halo: Reach.
