Your thoughts on Halo Reach's Graphics? Overall as a game?

[QUOTE="FIipMode"][QUOTE="worknow222"] Yep definetly overhyped Yet reach has better looking aspects than uncharted 2 and killzone 2monkeysmoke

#4 Higher detailed textures. If you zoom in on an elite you can seen the massive amount of detail for e.g.

#5 Around a 200x higher draw distance lol.

#6 Massive epic battles going on above you (more AI).

#7 More polygons per a scene then uncharted 2 and killzone 2 combined.

#8 Better character models, but uncharted 2 does have better faces.

#9 Better vegetation.

#10 Bigger and better explosions. Best explosions ever on the 360, ps3 and mabey even pc.

Terrible jaggies and terrible pop in. The game is nice a colorful though and the open areas add alot to the game. The models in the game are very nicely detailed and animation is top notch as always, but those jaggies....

What jaggies? What pop in? I have it playing on my pc monitor which I sit very close to, and didn't notice any of them things. You are either a cow, or have never played the game. Halo 3 had no pop in, and bungie said reach has about a 4x higher draw distance then halo 3.

Then your eyeballs are defective.

For a 2007 game it is pretty outstanding. The colours and everything looked great.

Halo 3 looked pretty good at times. The forest level at the beginning had beautiful lighting, and the floods ... cavern place? had some nice textures and lighting. Still very meh by todays standards though.

Graphics are pretty bland, which is the norm for the Halo series. The gameplay is amazing, though. Way better than Halo 3.Dr_Corndog

Possible best 360 graphics shown yet (well AW is also a contender), but still less than Kz2 or U2.

Though the graphics fall well short of the hype before release.

I thought it looked meh. I like Gears 2 better than this. Few pretty moments in there though and I like the Marine sniper model (Can't remember faction name. I fail at remembering.)

Defintely the best on consoles right now. Incredible character/weapons models, unique art style and beautiful lighting.

Fun gameplay but ugly art-direction and outdated graphics.

Awsome skyboxes

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks Halo has bad art.

I really don't understand how the characters and weapons designs straight from the Power Ranger shows and battlefields that consist of plain valleys and low-poly paper boxes that represent cities and military bases can be considered good art.

I found it to strongly represent the generic space soldier idea honestly. the thing that is regarded as good about halo is the gameplay, which I don't find that great personally. But everyones opinion is different. I do really agree with what you said though.

Gameplay is fun enough. But it doesn't help when everything else is cringeworthy. I usually like space soldiers settings and I love sci-fi when it doesn't look like something from 80's cartoon.

WOW! I just have to say I'm very pleasantly surprised by the comments about Halo Reach's graphics. I expected it to be mostly "Halo's graphics suck!" kind of comments. I personally think the game looks great (most of the time), but I also thought Halo 3 looked great, which many didn't agree with me. I love Halo's art style.

I think there were a few levels in multiplayer or campaign where I could see someone saying that they can't see a difference between Reach and Halo 3. It also has a few framerate drops. However, the game is absolutely stunning at times. The animations are terrific, the gun models are outstanding, and the explosions are great. The attention to detail is very strong in this game.

Graphics look beautiful to me. the colours are vibrant and the backdrops are incredible as mentioned. as for the game, i have to say i am very impressed. the fact that bungie released odst last year put me off. i was coming into this game with low expectations (more of the same). there are many subtle changes andadditions that keep the formula fresh. this game is so feature-rich that i dontknow where to begin.bungie, i salute you. some damn fine work with this one.

Just Cause 2, ArmA 2, Bad Company 2, Gothic 4, Singularity...theres plenty of games that look better than Reach. Not all have as big of maps as Reach though. But I didn't find the maps to be that big except for a few.

an outstanding game. better than killzone 2 and heck better than half-life

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"][QUOTE="worknow222"] Agreed and to show the b eauty of reach in 1080P ( yeah yeah the low HD stuff but this looks quite better from 720p or something) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9EjYOiv0Uk just go to the HD 1080p and pick it :D worknow222

Although Reach doesn't look amazing as a whole, some of the detail in it is just mindblowing, particularlythe Covenant vehicles (zooming in with a sniper scope on a Wraith and still seeing scratches = epic). Let's also not forget the explosions:

[QUOTE="worknow222"]

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] Watch it in 1080p when the game is rendered in 1152x720? Whats the point in that? Watching it in 720p would be fine and save you bandwidth.ferret-gamer

[QUOTE="hd5870corei7"][QUOTE="bigboss5ak"]After crysis reach is the second best graphical fps this genWhenCicadasCry

Nah. Looks better then BC2, MW2 and Killzone 2 imo.

Not the PC versions of BC2 and MW2.

[QUOTE="WhenCicadasCry"]

Above average at best for a console game. It's not even the best looking game on the 360. Overhyped by lemmings.

[QUOTE="Tessellation"][QUOTE="FIipMode"] Besides character models and skyboxes what does Reach do better than those two games?Orchid87

It looks ok. it seems a bit more darker/grittier then the other halo games as well.
