tough words from a guy who had my 7th grade gym teacher as his avatar. Kaz Hirai was your gym teacher? :o You lucky guy. Naw, he just looks hella a lot like him.
[QUOTE="Syferonik"]cuz Halo 2 made sooooo much cash and halo 3 is not even running at 720p with halo 2 engine? lol wtf bungie was thinking?DarkGamer007
"Lets skip on making a new engine so we can focus on trying to deliver a game that will live up to the hype."And why not making a new engine SETTING THE GAME AT 720p and make it live to the hype? i mean this is Halo not some random unknown garbage plus they had time and money to do so no excuses there plz
problem with halo 3 is there is no AA what so ever, some places are a jaggie messbigLLL
The other problem is the low (or non-existent ) texture filtering. However, Halo 3 did have some pretty massive levels and campaign levels - playing it and then switching over to Gears always leaves me feeling claustrophic.

Halo 3 using some of the best lighting I've ever seen in a game before, in order for the game to have such fantastic lighting, and still run the game smoothly in a wide variety of "large scale" environments, they lowered the resolution. Since when was the game shooting for technical superiority anyways? Halo has never been known for having amazing graphics. :|
i didnt like the character models but it is nice and colorfull!!! but anyways halo 1 was awesome, halo 2 more of the same but felt short, and halo 3 wow!!! its a good game but it feels soooo dated and kinda getting boring:? KILLZONE 2 IS THE FPS KING!!!
Well, it's just that ever since games like Gears and Uncharted came along, Halo 3 sort of took a back seat in the graphics department.Backseat fine, but people post like it looks like GTA 1.
Other than being Semi-colorful the game was a complete letdown when it comes to graphics. It looked like Halo 2 with some slightlybetter textures. I bash the graphics because they were not good. The "color" that everyone keeps bringing up was okay..it wasn't anything memorable especially after playing WOW, Crysis, Bioshock HL2 and pretty much every DS and Wii game.
Its not the best looking, but its certainly not the worse. No where near. Its a good looking game. But yeah, it gets way more hate than it deserves. -DrRobotnik-
I agree for the most part, but I remember an early pre rendered trailer of Master Chief. I was a little dissapointed when I found out when the actual game wasnt that much an improvement from Halo 2.
People are blinded by greyness. I love Halo 3's graphics. They have colour, art design, fantastic lighting and some really amazing textures. I don't really care though, Halo 3's graphics are just the top layer of an already superb game

I agree for the most part, but I remember an early pre rendered trailer of Master Chief. I was a little dissapointed when I found out when the actual game wasnt that much an improvement from Halo 2.The environments look the same -- the only thing that was changed was the armor was no longer was using really high resolution textures, and the visor was altered so it wasn't a frickin' gold mirror. It's not like Halo 3 is a third-person shooter -- there's no need for that armor when you rarely even see the chief during gameplay. :|

I guess my eyes are going. Halo 3 looked much better than Halo 2. The graphics are great! Do they rate high in comparison to other games? I don't have the energy for it. I just play and enjoy the story telling.
Ridiculous amount of texture pop-ins and jaggies ftw. I remember playing GeoW2 and then going back to Halo 3 and being blown away by how many pop-ins there were. Crazy.
I thought the visuals would be MUCH better due to the game being MS's flagship title, and all the hype behind it. I was sure that MS would make sure the game pushed the boundaries in every aspect (visually,and gameplay wise for the FPS genre), and Bungie's blogs didn't help relieve the hype (they actually increased it talking about how the water was amazing, how the ground blew into chunks from grenades and w/e else), but in the end...the graphics were disappointing. Not saying the graphics are bad, but I think a lot of people expected much more.
The Game is beautiful in its own ways...and gorgous in its others! :P The only truly ugly thing that comes to mind with Halo 3 is those damn Marines!! It looks like someone threw up all over their faces!! :(
ive played halo 3 since it came out same with geow 2 and gears 2 has way more pop in but thats the same thing with all games that run on the unreal engine gears 1 and 2 R6V 1 and 2 mass effect

Yes lighting is the only good part from Halo 3 other than gameplay of course so yep in 3years they made Halo 2 HD gg....i still love the game btw i was just expecting way more from bungie
I think that the graphics are fantastic though for the 360 atleast and is the best first person shooter available for consoles. I know people will argue this and rightfully so but my reason behind this is because it offers 4 player local multiplayer against another 12 online which not a lot of other fps' do as well as Halo. Besides that every fps is better on PC
It gets hate for its graphics...and just about EVERYTHING else about it. Why? Well Sony fans boys are STILL insecure even after the release of Killzone 2.

I don't bash halo 3 for anything, but from what I'm seeing it was the 360 fanboys that started raising the halo 3 > killzone2 threads after the game was released and got a 9.0. And then the the graphics debate was an obvious result of the retaliation.
