Halo 3 plays amazing yes but in the graphics department it leaves A LOT to be desired, I played MP3 at a friends house the other day and honestly was more impressed graphically with that then I was halo 3. I honestly think Halo 3 graphics could be done on the Wii with little to no Downgrade and besides.. Doesnt halo 3 really run at 640p or something, I heard it doesnt really run in true High def. Dont get me wrong I love Halo gameplay and online Multiplayer is AMAZING But the graphics are very underwhelming.

BTW My gamertag is HallowedSaint and yes I think COD 4 will OWN Halo 3 with no problem whatsoever.. I was in the beta

Yeah just make it 2-3 things on screen at once, no decent lighting, dumb AI, no online, a midi soundtrack and no voice acting and you got yourself a Wii game!

No...just No. While we're at it...hell, Crysis can be done on the 360 and PS3 without any downgrade at all!! (Note: Yes, i knowCrysis can be done on both...but there would be a downgrade in overall visuals, maybe not too much...but there would definitely be one.) Maybe even the Wii with no downgrade...:shock:

I think with a little downgrading Halo3 could be made on the wii

Both Wii and Halo 3 aren't high definition so why not?

It would be better with a wiimote as well

Uh...no. Halo 3 has advanced HDR (the reason for the resolution drop) and textures that can't be done on the Wii. It might be able to do Halo 2 graphics, but not Halo 3 graphics. And Halo 3 runs at a resolution close enough to HD that the difference is small, so don't try to lump it in with the Wii resolution.

The Wii could do slightly better then Halo 2 graphics, I mean MP3 proves this. Also look at my sig. But it couldn't do Halo 3 graphics, not by a long shot.

It really could, after all, Halo 3 was in 640p, and I've had people who owned the game said they had slow down from time to time...in reality Halo 3 is HD Halo 2, with a make over for the background *In H2 backgrounds weren't as good as H3*, with a few quirks here and there, and since the wii is comparible to Xbox 1, Halo 2 achieved great graphics for its time, wii could do the same, but if they were to bring H3, which will never happen, it would have to be toned down...

I think you forgot that this is HALO, and on GameSpot we are not allowed to talk bad about Halo. Wealso don't mention Wii unless it is followed by: crap, kiddy, casual, trash, minigame, old people, non-gamers, babies, rehash, LOLNOTHX, etc.

That's fair, right?

1152X640 > 720X480. The Wii doesn't even have pixel shaers 1.1. So Halo 1 would not look so great on it unless it was redesigned for the platform. I have seen Halo without1.1 shaders on my PC and it does not look so great...

Halo 3 > Halo 2 graphically by a longshot in every category. No, Halo 3 isn't HD Halo 2. It's far far beyond that in terms of visuals. Halo 2 looked good...but nowhere near as good as Halo 3 does.

I personally never had slowdown in Halo 3...but i don't speak for everyone.

For the Wii Halo 3 would have to look like a mix between Halo and Halo 2. Probably bad textures and the A.I. of Halo 1 with just about everything else looking identical to Halo 2 (if not worse). Who cares though? No Halo game will ever be on any other console than the 360. Hell, No bungie game will probably ever appear on another console than the 360 due to MS/Bungie publishing deal. So why does it matter? (Last sentence was directed to the TC) :)

The Wii doesn't have enough Processing power, RAM or a powerful enough GPU to handle even a dumbed down special olympics version of Halo 3.

I guess, because the wii only goes up to 480p, even 640p is over twice that resolution. But you'd still need to downgrade the lighting... then maybe... if the devs try really hard...

Halo is the all-end-all.

Halo as a total package looked great. But was underwhelming still. Gears looks very good with 2 enemies on the screen.

Halo 2's graphics weren't the best not even last gen. So can you fanboys stop whipping that out?

Could the Wii run Halo 3 with downgrade? Sure. The first downgrade, get rid of HD, slap 480p on that.. I'm sure the system right away won't be as stressed.. that takes care of resolution.

The lighting is advanced.. changed the HDR to bloom lighting.

It probably wouldn't take that much. Anyone who judges what the Wii can do now... pathetic. Know the hardware you talk about first.

I do understand the hardware, and I know for a fact the Wii couldn't handle the Draw Distance, Scarab Battles, Physics or the amount of enemies on screen/AI. Also the over all polish of the game.

All they could do is pull of a shiny version of Halo 2, nothing that made Halo 3s single player memorable.

Well graphicly the game is possible and Wii is capable of fantastic lighting and online. I agree the AI would most likely have to be dumbed down because that is very power hungry.

The gfx aren't the best out there, but to say it isn't HD quality, or better then Wii gfx is laughable.dru26

In SP 1 player, i have to disagree. Some of the best lighting ive ever seen in a game. And no it doesnt have the best textures like Gears, but Halo 3 has so many things going on on-screen in a HUGE, detailed environment. So yes, it DOES have some of the best graphics out there, both artistically and technically.

And no, i dont even think the Wii could even run Halo 2 without some downgrade
