when did graphics mattered so much? you see millions of people playing world of warcraft and dont complain about its s*** graphics. we all know gears does have better graphics but at the cost of a 5 hour campaign and only 4 different mp modes. its really dissapointing seeing people make other people think its not going to be as good just because of its graphics.

your logic is a bit flawed there.

graphics and game length have nothing to do with each other.

epic is a multiplayer company, and that showed with gears. gears had a decent single player but it was nothing compared to the online they offered.

people complain about halo3a graphics because of what a large budget halo3 had. people feel bungie could have made it more impressive. this is the 360s flag ship and they want it to look amazing. i have no issues with the graphics of the game personally.

Its because this game is suposed to be SOO epic that people need (usually halo haters) some reason to bash the game....i think the graphics look great myself but who knows. Just like the complaints of bioshock were that the city didnt have enough toilets and bedrooms so it was unrealistic, and they wanted it to look more like city

how did they show they were a multiplayer company when there was only 3 games modes and terrible lag? Since then theve only added one gametypeand the lag hasnt ended at all. Also the only thing they really brought new to the 360 was that thier wasnt respawns...which made multiplayer frustrating if you werent good because you watached the game 95 percent of the time and then played the game only 5 %

they showed it by focusing on the multi player part of the game. you can argue that you wanted more gametypes all you want, but that doesnt change the focus of gears of war being the multiplayer.

if the multiplayer is as horrable as you claim it to be, why would countless numbers of people still be playing it?

I agree. 4 match types, with a king if the hill soon to be added to the PC version which isn't much different from annex. The host advantage is unreal. I don't care how good you are, if your connection to the host sucks you will get slaughtered. Not to mention the glitches which EPIC never really seem to fix, only prolong until someone finds another way. I mean if you can Kung-fu flip (which is probably the most awesome glitch ever) you know you have a buggy game. Gears is decent online, not a patch on Halo.

It is because of high expectation with Halo series. GOW developers took the graphics to the next level....Now Halo should do the same by taking the graphics to the next level.... but after looking at the game i really thought they were not even able to compete with the current available games.....

funny thing is halo2 online is horrable. its worse than gears of war was when i quite GeoW. you dont think epic focused on the multiplayer aspect of the game? you think they honestly sat down and said "lets make this game about the single player". i highly doubt they did. i feel their main objective was the multiplayer.

personally GeoW sucked on all fronts. it was just likeepic threw something out to get the next gen hype before it was gone.

i think the multiplayer is over rated. its good but not great, a lot of ppl r playing it because a lot of ppl got the game cuz of its hype of the graphics. theres still a lot of issues with the online player and i find it hard to go bak to playing it after i tried somethin like r6 vegas

actually i think halo looks fantastic, and i think ppl are complaining because well 1, everything is colourfull and not just brown and grey, and 2, everything isn't shiny (like in realy life, things aren't always shiny) so ppl just imediatly pass it off as bad looking, where as i realy like that and think that the over all look of halo is better than gears.

the only time when halo 2 online was worse then gears is when there were a lot of modders but after bungie cut down on them, u only faced like one modder every 1 or 2 weeks, halo 2 still had a great online multiplayer even until gears came out, gears aint gonna last that long

Graphics = Attention getter When the graphics blow you're gonna get tired of watching/playing it real freaking fast. I've seen Halo 3's graphics and I'm not impressed. Thus I complain about the graphics along with all other aspects of the game.

Even the review posted that gave halo 3 a gold medal said it's graphics weren't as "Wow" as games like Gears of War, however still impressive. Like others said, we were all expecting the best possible of everything on the 360 to be used, but the graphics aren't quite as impressive as Gears of War, which was released a year ago. I have to admit, I am still a bit disapointed with the graphics, even though they are still impressive, I would have liked to have seen them push it just a little farther.

You just said halo2 online is HORRIBLE. If you really thought that why in the hell would you be playing it??? I've never ran into any modders on live, so your claim is bs to me. GEOW online is absolutely terrible. I played for like a week and thought it was aweful. So go play your geow by yourself b/c the rest of the world will be playing halo3.
