Wrong halo 3's graphics are awsome and sick they are way clearer than halo 2 graphics and more colourful, and the water is way more realastic and halo 3 graphics have way more detail than halo 1 and halo 2.

When you compare Halo 3 to today's standards of technology it is about 8 or so years behind.

thats called an art style, not graphics. if you think gears 2, or resident evil 5 are going to look completely different from the previouse titles, then your just pants on head retarted.

Then again I think they focused mainly on the gameplay. Everyone here knows the graphics could've been better.

never mind my last post, this statement is just pants on head retarted! your basicly saying that this game not only looks worse then the first halo, but looks worse then a ps2 launche title.....

you see theres a difference between not liking somthing and not having any respect.

There's a word you will learn when you get older. Its called: Exaggeration. :shock:

I would also like to point out that Bungie admitted that they created a NEW standard for NON-HD gaming. 640p :P

lol

Halo 3 is not even in HD. Its upscaled like a DVD movie. Freaking upscaled.

I wasn't ever amazed or blown away by it, but it looks pretty good. I wouldn't put it in the top echelon of graphics but it looks nice.

its quite obvious you have never seen the game...the lighting in particular is amazing. you can zoom around entire levels and entire multiplayer matches and zoom in really close on everything and find nothing ugly. it is clear you are still bitter about our 9.5 and your....7.5!!!!

You completely ignored the 640p and dove right into bias. Do you work for Gamespot?

It looks 'k, but a bit of a lazy job for such a massive software team. It is about 16 million years behind Crysis, and it's Halo-ness can't save it, because Halo-ocity never had any positive effect anyway. To hell with all things Halo.

I own the game and I beat it on Legendary.

So I think I know what I'm talking about. If you spend 5 minutes playing Gears of War, then play Halo 3...you will honestly believe you are playing an Xbox 1 title. That's how bad Halo 3 looks.

Why was Halo 3 not on Original Xbox? Money....Microsoft needed to sell their new console.

Its all about money.

Boo Hoo Halo 3 is upscaled. I have nothing else to flame about. The graphics are excellent for the art style Halo3 is going for. If Halo had the crazy, look I can read every newspaper on the ground detail of GOW it wouldn't be Halo. Hate it or love it and get over it. Biggest media release ever! And I'll admit it, biggest dissapointment ever. So don't call me a fan boy.

640p is not 720p. There for it is not high definition. What makes me mad is that they put 720p on the box and it isn't 720p. This doesn't mean that the graphics are worse but not as defined as if they were in 720p.

seriously? did you play the game. underwhelming is halo 3's middle name. It even freezes with those mediocre graphics. Looks eSpecially bad in single player when you see the time warp bubble in the background and the ghosts flying overhead. Ugh, i still get nightmares from that. Oh well, at least multiplayer is still increadibly fun, even if the maps do suck.

just to admit the graphics look terrible doesnt mean you hate the game. You have to be blind to say the graphics are awesome though.

it sucks???? not according to a myriad of professional gaming critics....your just trying to go against the grain....if it sucked whywould you spend your time beating it on legendary?
