Ok I love Halo and I know that thier is no fan bsae bigger for any other video game than Halo. I did reserve it and you can bet I'll be on line at 12am. Having said that,amI the only one that thinks the gfx in the beta were poor?

I use poor and not bad because poor to me means that they can improve. While I do understand that its a beta, OXM had a mini interview with Bungie to discuss their thoughts on the beta.

OXM:Are the gfx in the beta a final representation of the final product?

Bungie: Yes they are but keep in mind tweaks and refinement will be made, but don't strain looking for any differences.

F-u Bungie, I want Halo to go out with a bang not a thud. Give me 30 frames per second and razzle dazzle. F- 60 frames per second. Anybody with me? Oh yeah and Bacardi Mojito is very good and that is not my sig.

R u serious? Those are the FINAL gfx? That sucks, I thought they would have improved them alot more. They weren't bad but when the game is going up against games like GoW, Mass Effect and Assasins Creed, I thought they would have made the graphics very good.

graphics dont make games...gameplay does, if they have to sacrifice graphics for framerate then do it, 60 frames per second makes a game much better

r

the graphics from the online multi player have been improved (look at the 100 new screens on IGN).

We haven't seen the single player yet.

It's bogus. Bungie didn't say that, they said that it was a beta and the graphics are going to get better. Besides, the beta was pretty sweet looking anyway.

If you into jaggies and bland textures then yeah they r sweet, sweet enough to make my teeth rot. I had high expectations for this one, since its their last Halo. Plus ample dev time, they have no excuse. Plus Bungie said it themselves those beta gfx are final representation of the final build.

Graphics don't matter, and even if they did, Halo 3 looks great how it is. You must no know what good graphics are.

I don't believe this crap at all. It will look better, but halo is not about flashy graphics in Mp. SP graphics will be great just wait. Plus after 5 minutes of killing each other, who's looking at graphics?

Superstud I am with u about camp gfx, but I am just worried that it wont be up there. When zooming in through a scope online who cares about the crappy 2D tree.

Bungie is still using technology from 1994

JohnWinger
Technology from 1994? Care to explain. What people see in Halo is almost perfection of a console FPS, with atmosphere and a great story. You even said the multiplayer is good :|

Compare Halo's garbage graphics to Gears of War or The Darkness.

Why do people keep screaming about gameplay. Its an FPS. They all have the same gameplay. You have a gun and you shoot.

Halo 3's graphics go with Halo, bright and colorful. Gears and the Darkness are more gritty and dark, and yes they look better but Halo 3 is far from "garbage". So I guess you dislike all FPS's since they all play the same. I guess you find racers boring too, I mean they all have cars! Why even talk about RPGs, you level up in each one so what's the point! You're being way to general in your criticisms. Halo is fun to play online and has a story that pulls you in and makes you want to play. Ok you don't like it, but there is no need to bash it.

Yes, but if there was not constructive criticism then slavery would still exist today. :P

Actually it still does....but thats not my point... lol

In any regard. Its not a garbage game. I was being over zealous.

However I am glad your not like the rest of the community who lies and says Halo 3 is amazing. The multiplayer is good, but the graphics are last-gen.

yeah technology from 1994 you can save full games and take screenchots, then send the vid and the screenshot to ur friend, gears doesnt even have that. Its kind of sad seeing so many graphics whores. For example gears gameplay is alright and the graphics are amazing, halo gameplay is amazing and the graphics are alright.

check out the bungie site for some updated screens...they look pretty nice and seems to have improved upon the beta. also, read the new ign article about halo3. they already confirmed that the single player graphics are going to be better than the multiplayer w/ many more effects, etc. anyway, just chill out about the game until it actually comes out. don't worry about people criticizing the game b/c their claims can't be substantiated as the only thing any of us really know about the game is a portion of multiplayer. we still don't know anything whatsoever about single player...

i think it's also important to point out that toning down the graphics for multiplayer is better for the pacing...not everyone has a suitably fast internet connection... i'd rather take a hit in graphics to make sure my online gaming experience is as smooth as possible

This is so old! When Halo 3 comes out, the graphics will be AWESOME. Except for the multiplayer I suppose, won't be really flashy graphics like GRAW 2 Campaign.

I only got a 360 last january having never previously owned an xbox. I was quick to purchase Halo and Halo 2 and play through them both and tbh I didn't find them to be as good as expected.

Whether it's because Halo's past its time and Halo 2's just boring (SP not MP) or the fact that the first game to enter my 360 was GeOW I'm not sure.

I seriously hope Bungie have revamped the SP gameplay wise or else i feel Halo 3 will leave a bad taste in my mouth.:(

A great blockbuster game like Halo will always recieve critisism, no matter how good it turns out. tread´s like this one will appear from time to time, don`t worry about it, u can`t expect every human being to have good taste.

So, while a small minority keep talking trash about Halo, lay back, read all the 9+ reviews, check all it`s sales records, and have a blast playing the best multiplayer game out there... see u online in a cupple of months.
