Has Halo 3 really been downgraded?

The only big differenceI see is in the textures. Also the E306 trailer was confirmed in-game, what happened?

I think Bungie said they didn't want the shiny concrete look of the E306 Masterchief so they changed it to a more metalic and smooth Master Chief.

I dunno, I think the MC looks better in the first pick. Plus there is more scenery in the first pic then in the second pic. I would need to see the videos again.

Though on second thought I think the only thing which made that first video so good looking was the weird blur effect they had on the sand, like heat waves coming off it. That and the mega reflectiveness of his visor.

Jeez Bungie, you all should just have used "Speedtree".

Looks good

looks downgraded to me...you dont even see like the war torn surface on the first pic as you see in the second pic on his chest. the first pic looks like his armor is just blurred out. it dosnt matter if its shinny or not, you can see a big difference and the first pic has lesser detail than the second pic has. djxaquaxblue

thanks for ur opinio..moooooo

now explain how is it a monster downgrade, oh and how big is this monster?just curious that's all

I actually think the newer pic looks better... cleaner if you will. The original reveal trailer was too shiny for my tastes, but it's good to see that the devs have gotten away from the vaseline coated shinyness of the first few launch games for the 360.

Besides, within the single player campaign, how often are you looking at yourself (as MC) outside of cutscenes?

nice trees. machitocaliente

downgrade complete

Monster dumbass

In some ways it looks much better now, just look at the gun, big improvement. MJOLNIR is supposed to have a "GLOSSY SMOOTH SHEEN", not 16th century, concrete-textured flak armor.Spartan070

It's funny how people are saying this now, yet when they released the E3 trailer in 06 they did nothing but praise it. Many actually thought it looked better than Crysis. I did a poll on which looked better, Crysis, MGS4, or Halo3. The majority chose Halo3......

Finally a mod.Why are u locking KZ@ positive threads while the negtives stay up.Either take the sticky down or stop locking the threads.Anyways u could clearly see more detail on the old version, but the new one still look amazing.

Umm...sure. Ok.

I'll have you know I'm known as being very open minded.:D

In all honesty people blow the Halo 3 real-time video way out of proportion. If you look at the surrounding detail besides the model the game actually looks BETTER than the real-time video. The model also wasnt downgraded either, the texture was just changed artisicly.

For example the structure textures are not very high res or detailed. Basicly the only thing is diffrent is the Chief's armor and that doesnt really matter to much considering you wont be seeing him much ingame unless your playing co-op and even still he doesnt look bad.

A good example that it was actually a artistic change and not a downgrade is the CGI commercial actually represnts the new style that the game now has.

Anyway I think it looks great and in motion during playing it I bet the game will look just fine.

They swapped out the super-shiny bullet magnet (in other words would stick out like a sore thumb on a battlefield)E3 2006 textures for the more-realistic looking E3 2007 ones.SpaceMatt

exactly. same amount of polygons. and the shiney sand grained texture is fugly. it's for the better. no downgrade at all.
