Judging by the e3 gameplay footage. You can no longer argue that it's in pre Alpha or that it's multiplayer(because it's not). Once again Bungie hyped us all up with an impressive looking cinematic trailer months ago claiming it's in engine and then breaking our hearts by showing us how different the actual game looks.

I thought it looked really good...

I don't care how much of a fanboy you are, horrendous is not the word that should be used to describe Reach's graphics.

They're not at the top of the food chain, but I think they look pretty good. TC must be a fanboy if he thinks they're horrendous.

So I take it that you didn't play the beta, because if you had you wouldn't have to guess at the enjoyment, or lack there of, in Reach.

LOL. This thread has made me go through all those "OH CRAP!" moments from the beta. Like when my friend and I were sitting on the lower level of the base on power house. He had rockets and I had the nade launcher. OF COURSE the entire team was sitting across the bridge. The next 5 seconds resulted in a double kill for both of us and the entire enemy team respawning... OH God that was awesome. Neither of us knew what happened until we heard the "double kill" sound twice (we were playing split screen).

I did. Not heavily hyped for multiplayer. I'd rather see a campaign demo. That's where the show really is in terms of graphics and story.

What? You mean a game with a great story and consistently great graphics and presentation is not fun? Where to begin? :P

Graphics and story are all part of what make a game good, but w/o good gameplay, there is no reason to PLAY it. Graphics and story by themselves arent fun from a game standpoint. My response was in regards to the original quote which you removed from your post which said the game wasnt fun. My point is that graphics and story have nothing to do with what you responded to.

Let me break it down to you. There are a lot more gamers who don't care about online mp than the ones who do. Graphics and story can come a long way, just look at what graphics did for Killzone 2. They took a turd of a game and put good graphics on it and suddenly it's a decent fps to some people. You'd be surprised what graphics can do. Story is also very much important and can change the perception of what's fun. Look at Kotor. Again, mediocre gameplay with incredible story and content and suddenly it's the best rpg of the decade.

Right you're completely new to GS. Anyway, KZ2 got a 9 here for more than just graphics. But an even better example would have been God of War 3 since it has no multiplayer component. Yet it managed to score the same as MW2, KZ2 and ODST.

Oh you are breaking it down for me huh? Its true there are a lot of players that couldnt care less about online mp. That is why Bungie always has and always will support lan and 4 player splitscreen...BTW, Kotor had awesome gameplay.

Are my posts being misconstrued or something? I never said a game HAD to have multiplayer to be fun at all. I simply used the transitive property to make my point. veqtur was the one that brought up online multiplayer to begin with.

It might be, So let's straighten this out. My priority for Halo reach is the campaign. If we are to discuss it's graphics, then I feel multiplayer will not do the game justice. I would like to see campaign footage before I say anything about Reach's graphics. That's really all.

Yeah I'm sure the amazing gameplay had something to do with it. Nobody talks about KZ2, overshadowed by the much preferred Call of Duty. If KZ2 didn't have the graphics, everyone would acknowledge for the turd it is. Halo has never had good graphics yet manages to be critically acclaimed because it's the prime example of gameplay>graphics.

Wait so KZ2 winning Shooter of the year and beating ODST and MW2 means KZ2 is a lesser game? Ok dude look. We went through this already in the foliage fights. I'm not stupid ok. You pick two games and you center your flood of threads around them. This time trying to look less like a lemming. You are failing hard my friend.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This describes the thread in a nutshell, basically.

Halo Reach's graphics are fine. They are not horrendous. Not the best, but not horrendous.

I always put campaigns before multiplayer (w/ the huge exception of BF). I really couldnt care less about Reaches graphics though. Even if it looked like Halo 1 or 2... as long as it doesnt look like 3 though. lol. Anyway, from what I saw of the beta and the stuff from E3, I think the game looks just great and serves the polished gameplay quite nicely. man I posted a lot on the last page >_>

[QUOTE="veqtur"] I'm just being fair because I own both consoles. Those awards mean nothing to the average gamer obviously since nobody cares about KZ2. Meaningless awards are meaningless.

Wow. You are just hating left and right....
