Halo 3 graphics...

What were you expecting. "A lot more" is so vague. I mean after all the leaked videos, what did you expect to see? Single Player is what I'm waiting for personally. Multi-player will be nearly identical, as it should be.

What do you know another graphic complaint of a GOOD LOOKINGBETA. Will people just stop complaining about their veiwing of a craptastic veiwing of a streamed video.

I kinda agree with u but there's 3 things u have to realize.

1. Halo 2 was already really good looking so all they can really do is polish it up, and notice how masterchiefs armor is still the same looking for the most part but, wait whats this! his armor sticks out. the ridges are indented and the shoulders stick up! thats a huge diff.

2. Halo is going to be large. much larger than gears and so it would be difficult to texturize everything ot the level of gears.

3. We're only looking at multi player. Single player will be far more polished because its more "staged".  (And yeah there's always the whole this is only beta thing but whatever)

It's beta as will be said by many a person...you can't judge it on what has been released so far.

Even if they were to stay the same, I'm not going to complain. I would rather have amazing gameplay

and replay value than crazy graphics any day.

for a game that is meant to be one of the biggest things to hit this generation of consoles...

1) its the successor of the most popular new franchise of last-gen, which was also one of the best looking console games last gen.

2) it is being advertised as THE online XBL game to play.

3) it is the franchise that basically defines the Xbox brand (much like Mario of Nintendo consoles).

... i think that graphics are okay at best.  everything looks very clear, but there definitely is a lack of detail in the graphics.  Bungie obviously went for the plain and simple look, in contrast to Epics highly detailed look in Gears of War.

but if you just take the graphics for what it is worth, and forget about what Halo 3 has to live to, i think the game looks good.  its a sizeable step above R:FoM IMO, which i think is a phenomenal looking game.  good thing IMO is that the Halo universe has a great artistic style to it.  so while Halo 3 might not look real... it will definitely look awesome from an artistic standpoint.
