So does Halo... online is what 8vs8 max? Eddie-Vedder

Based on...?Sollet

Reach just emphases that Lemmings should really drop the graphics card, like the Sheep have done now for quite some time. It is only going to get more disparate when the time goes.

Natal looks great no?...Hype that.

So beta = final product ?? Developer commentary you say? Link? Source?Sollet

For a game like MAG, yes.

Can't exactly find the video I watched -- for I watched these videos and had to answer questions about them to get into the private beta before it went public -- but it's mostly just plain common sense, regardless, I found a nice tibbit of information from an interview that explains what i was talking about.

"How will you ensure it isn't chaotic with that many players? We've done a lot of tests inside our own studio, observing how people were playing the game, and we came up with a set of plans to limit the chaos. We found that real-life military structure, with squads and platoons, seems to work best. These real-life structures help the players feel that the game is organised."

Nobody is saying graphics > gameplay.

Let me drill that into your head.

Why are people talking about MAG, Who cares about MAG.......This Is HALO:REACH, Im calling it...one of these will be AA at best and its not Halo :P

[QUOTE="SSJ_Nega"]

Doesn't look impressive at all, but unlike some people, I wasn't expecting this to be graphics king. I'm expecting it to be a great game, however, which is what the main emphasis should be on, not graphics.

If you want to call something graphics king, look at Mass Effect 2 or Alan Wake.

Stevo_the_gamer

Yeah, you're right. Console graphics king is what I meant.

Lol, How about 256? they AUTO failed the moment I brought up MAG.playharderfool

You're right, because the PC will always be the graphics king. What's with the racial slurs you're using there, by the way?

lol: the funniest thing is the lemmings had the nerve to criticize MAG's graphics, and look at what's happening to their Halo Reach graphis arguement now, theyare trying to turn it into an arguement of scale and they AUTO failed the moment I brought up MAG. Lemmings have no where to turn with their damage control now. It's quite amusing.What will they say next? Halo Reach's scale is bigger and better than MAGs?playharderfool

I dig it, looks more raw when compared to Halo 3. The lighting looks a lot better but it would be nice to see the ambient light from plasma weapons and shields shining onto the walls/ground though.

Lemming brought up the subject of scale as if it was something to hold over PS3's owners head with the argument of Halo Reach, they tried to play that card...and they failed.

And that makes your, "35 characters on the screen at once" calim about MAG about right exactly how? lol, where did you pull that number from? Yet you are so quick to point out the 40 player 20 vehicale calim for Halo Reach that you've never seen in action?

WarHawk has 32 player online with controlable land and air vehicles that exceend that number plus split screen, Resistance 2 already has a full on 60 player online campaign that's a 2008 PS3 game. lol man the damage control never ends

Wow, that's great and all but we're talkinga bout Halo: Reach here. This thread isn't for crappy ps3 games, duh. Does the title of this thread include anything that says to you "Hey, we really want to hear what you think about warhawk and MAG in this thread. Please come in and say "lol" a lot and act condescendingly towards people who don't like your favorite gaming system?" You like PS3, and that's great. I hope that works out for you and stuff.

It's an estimation. The gameplay would get too chaotic if the game would focus on all 256 players battling in one area. That's just common sense, really. The game is fought in smaller battles all over the map in squads and platoons with officers leading them. I've played the beta, I know how it works. They can't change that philosophy. That's the main foundation the game was built around.

I haven't played either of those so I can't comment, but those do sound like better examples than MAG.

Tis why I play multi games on my 360 and solely exlcusive games on my ps3.....But by Buying multi games on 360 brings Ms more revenue....well thats not get into that ;)

[QUOTE="Tessellation"][QUOTE="delta3074"]but the halo reach screenshots look way better than the mag screens you posted,hands down, and mag isn't going to have a full 3D skybox and advanced weather effects like halo reachplayharderfool

Lol, from overall graphics>>> to scale >>> to physics and destructaablity....lemmings don't know which cards they want to play on this.

let me give you a hint there isn't ANY technical aspect of that game (or any game on that system)that isnt that isn't bettered by a PS3 exclusive out or comming out.

LOL at lems talking about physics and destrucability when they haven't even seen the game in motion yet...oh mann.

I really have zero interest in this game... I am offcially "bleh" on all things Halo... it looks like the same game.

I don't get it?

Weren't you lemmings just gushing of the topic of scale and open world a few moments ago? 256 vs (a calimed) 40 it's not hard to understand scale right SCALE!! lol, So scale is no longer the all encompassing equilizer when it comes to determining graphic impressiveness? Now it's back to overall graphics I guess? :) So would you like me to post some pictures of Killzone 2 or Unchared 2 instead then?

Like I said you lemmings have no where to run on this arguemt, back and forth with DC.

You know that enviroment shadows are baked on textures? Only characters and certain objects cast real time shadows, no AO (even baked, not o mention SSAO).

:| The same thing was said about Resistance 2, your claims are meaninless without proof. Just another baseless bash you pulled from your you know where as damage control in responce to Halo Reach's unimpressive showing.

The developers never said, " It's 256 players but we are only going to limit it to 35 players at a time" :lol: the things people say to try to justify their praise for something else, it's amazing

[QUOTE="Tessellation"][QUOTE="delta3074"]i already stated in one of my earlier replys to you that halo reach did not look as good as killzone 2 or UC2, but it definitly looks better tha MAGdelta3074

I guess that can contribute to the fact that the PS3 rolls out great exclusive after great exclusive to combat this clinging effect... i mean staying power.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="Tessellation"] KZ2 and UC2 look like that because they are linear/ corridor levels games.nitsud_19
