So is Halo 3 beta supposed to look better than the alpha build in the vidoe ?

Is it supposed to look way better than the alpha build when the Beta is released just to suprise us ? Can someone clear that up for me please ?

i hope so cuz that video looked like crap

looked like HALO2 with CoD3 textures from PS2 for the ground and buildings

but it is ONLY the beta

Is it supposed to look way better than the alpha build when the Beta is released just to suprise us ? Can someone clear that up for me please ?

NOTE: All of the game footage in this doc was taken during the Alpha stage and isn't even representative of what you'll see in the Public Beta, let alone the final game. You will see frame rate skips, unfinished animation and graphical features that will change come Fall. All the footage is clearly marked Alpha. You're looking at the features here folks, not the final quality bar - which we've set pretty high. Your next taste of that will be in May.

In that video, you were seeing ACTUAL Beta footage.chandlerr_360

The Beta's not gonna look that good anyway, so I wouldn't woory too much. We can only judge the garphics we are going to get much nearer the time.Sp1d3r-06

Why wouldnt it look good?  The beta will be close to the final product, it will just lack polish.

actually it goes Alpha-Beta-Final release

The Video clearly says Alpha build bottom left side of the Video and the video was made in last year

May 16 we will be playing the beta version which that will be what the final game looks like.
