It does look like they improved the game a lot from Halo 2, but they still have a lot of time to work with the graphics and such. There's no doubt in my mind it's gonna look a lot better than what we have seen now or will see while playing the Beta. Still a cool vid, especially that part where it says Last Gen and then Next Gen, you can see that Masterchief looks a lot more detailed and polished.

see i dotn see why people are whining that halo 3 alpha graphics are out of date. i think that's a notch up if the alpha for halo 3 looks better than halo 2 beta but then again we're comparing xbox to xbox 360. i think halo 3 will be great gameplay and graphics wise.

Graphics are usually the last thing to be polished up in a game. So if they look as decent as they do now, imagine what the finished product will look like. And remember they still have around 6 months to work on this game, in 6 months a huge amount of things can be done in game developing.

Oh my god... if you heard what you are saying now back when halo 2 was coming out, you'd slap your future self. Halo 3 looks great. Is the alpha/beta mindblowing? no, but it looks damn good. Maybe you should stop expecting it to do everythign include cure cancer and just admire the good looking graphics.

 B: MULTIPLAYER ALWAYS LOOKS WORSE THAN CAMPAIGN. Duh. Thats even the case in GoW... its not as obvious, but its still different

you do know that they have been using the Halo2 Engine and not the Halo3 Engine so the ingame you guys been looking at is basically the same thing just one is better refined.

graphics graphics graphics, thats all i ever hear from you guys have you lost your sence in games. games are all about gameplay, and all i hear is how the graphics are good or how they can be improvee. how about they start talking about gameplay becuase for me halo 3 looks exactly the same as h2 gameplay wise, so are there new types of matches, characters, waopons or what becuase all i see is a better looking version as halo 2.

Sweet, Halo2's graphics greatly improved from those alpha and beta videos which means that halo3's graphics will greatly improve from its alpha and beta videos.

Can't wait.

um wait what?? theres lots of new weapons, game types maps and so forth... are you looking for them to change the game play %100 because if thats the case well then your just a moron. a sequel is about taking somthing good, and refining it and making it better, not changing it. and the reason why ppl care about grphics is because it's halo, the first 2 set such a high bar that now the 3rd one has to keep up w/ the trend. i remember when halo 1 came out ppl were asking "holy crap can this realy get any better looking", and when halo 2 came out friends of mine who are hardcore PC gamers played halo 2 and were like "holy crap this is a console game!".

It makes Halo 2 Alpha look like crap.  It was meant to show how much a game can improve from alpha stage to the final game.

Graphics are so good in xbox halo, that the comparison is pretty equal... can't wait to see the final version of it and I'm sure Halo 3 will make Halo 2 look like dust.

To be honest I am personally impressed and I think the sticklers who continue to whine about how it isn't that amazing. They need to sit in front a computer and develop graphically what these men and women do in a constrained time.
