[QUOTE="anobleloss"]im gonna get both COD4 and Halo 3 so its all good, but dont talk about halo 3s graphics like their garbage or somethingReigun147
for a game that's been hyped to KINGDOM COME, some of us were just expecting more from the visual side.

that's pretty much what I've been trying to say, but looks like most of the people read the topic and not my post... *sigh*

Just because it's hyped up doesnt mean it HAS to be the best looking game ever. It's gonna be a good game in all aspects (gameplay > graphics). It looks good as well, it's not OMG LOOK AT THAT!! but it's still impressive.

dude its halo, of course its going to get hyped to hell. im not a big graphics person though, im care more about the gameplay and story, i wanna see how this game ends. either way the hype train is gonna continue and the game is gonna sale millions regardless of your expectations.

Some people are impossible to please. "There good but not great...I hope they get better." Please. And that "Halo fanboy much?" comment was completely unneccesary. Just because someone thinks the graphics looks great doesn't mean they're a fanboy. I honestly don't know why people have such high standards for Halo 3's graphics because the Halo series has not been known for jaw-dropping graphics. Just because Halo 3 isn't living up to that bar that Gears of War set people come on here complain about how "bad and un-impressed they are with the graphics". But you know what, once the game comes out and you're off and playing you're not going to think about the graphics much at all, maybe when you first play the game and look around but after that you'll be playing the game because of what it is, a great game. So please, enough with the graphics.

good point. game play pwns graphics. oh wait, i forgot, i'm sick and tired of halo's run and gun style. oh crap, shouldn't have said that. you know what, i don't even know why i'm flaming halo 3 to begin with, i'm still gonna buy the freaking game.

I personally think that when I was looking at the Chiefs armor during that whole video, it somewhat actually looked REAL. MS could've done a better job, but it was well worth watching.--MAV3R1CK--

Yea to be honest the best looking thing was Master Chief himself. Everything else looked ok.

Go to Bungie.net right now and look at the new screen shots. If you think it looks like a "H@L0 2.5" Then why not COMPARE the new Halo 3 pictures to that of Halo 2.

i think it's going to be an amazing game. The beta was more than I expected from it. And all the new features sound greaet. I really dont know what everyone is complaining about.

i think what everyone is complaining about, including me is that Halo 3 is dubbed as the best game for the xbox 360. and shouldn't the best game not only be accompanied by solid game play, but also jaw dropping graphics.

See thats the thing, you're expecting too much from Bungie. I said it earlier in this topic and I'll say it again, the Halo series has not been known for jaw-dropping graphics. Halo 2 was an improvement over Halo 1 but it still had a few ugly things about it and it didn't really shine. Halo shines because of its gameplay and story and it will certainly deliver that.

Well, Halo isn't for everyone. Just like most people think Killzone 1 sucked, you and others like you think it was a great game. So let it be.

Well I just watched the trailer again in HD, and to be honest I thought it looked very good so again, I don't know what people are complaining about. Is it better than every 360 game? No, but its better than most.

I didn't think they looked good either andHalo kind of relies on graphics to because the gameplay isnt really that deep. H2's campaign sucked ass so i hope h3 will be long and fun like the old school :)

Go to bungie.net and go to the screen shot gallery, look at the very first picture "through the eyes of a chief." That picture owns any game I've ever seen as far as details go. Everything is just so crisp and vivid it's mind blowing. I crapped my pants when i saw that picture. In my opinion, that looks better than Cod 4 or Gears of War.

Everything in the trailer looked great besides the ground textures but oh well. I wasn't impressed at all with the earlier screens Bungie released for SP, but the new trailer turned that around. It looks good but there are better looking games out there.

Your out of your mind, I have no problems with you Halo fanboys getting excited about Halo 3, but Crysis DESTROYS it in every possible way graphically.

The textrues are vastly superior in Crysis, the effects like the realistic way the light shines through the leaves is far better, the lighting all around is far far better, the polygon count is a least 5x what you see in Halo 3 and the PHYSICS well compared to crysis Halo 3 really doesn't even have physics!

You can't knock down any trees let alone get a response when moving through a brush or anything like that or running over a building with a tank and what not. Then there's the draw distance which Crysis does better then any game ever, or what about the realistic bluring effects and how it gives a subtle but real looking blur to the distance, or how about the game real time weather effects and volumetric clouds? Did you see the storm in the alien fight on the carrier video?! Or how about the tornados that are going to be in the game.

In every concievable way Crysis is miles beyond Halo 3, the gap is so big I dare say theres as big as a difference graphically between Halo 3 and Crysis as there is Halo 2 and Gears of War. Quite simply Crysis is a whole Generation ahead of Halo 3 graphically.

Halo3's visuals are very shiny, but that adds in the Halo1-ish feel to it.

And a person said that Halo3 will run a 60 FPS. I hardly doubt that. All Halo games run at 30 FPS or lower.

I thought they looked damn great i was happy with them beisdes the game runs at 60fps per second so will be nice and smooth as to play, also i was only watching it on the crappy little vga resoloution feed in hi def on my big hd tv im looking foward to some ncie crisp visuals with fast paced gameplay YAY for Haloxonix6

The game will not run at 60 FPS. It's Halo, it will always be at 30 FPS.

Okay, I agree with you Crysis owns Halo 3, but other than that I don't think there is another game that looks as good as it does. When I wrote that I wasn't thinking about Crysis, because like you said, Crysis is in a league of it's own separated from all these other games that are coming out. But Halo 3 is the prettiest game I've seen on any console. Who knows maybe that will change, and I'm no Halo fanboy actually, I only played Halo 2 and thought it was an okay game, didn't even care about Halo 3 until I saw that screenshot.

Damn why does it run in 60fps???? this is just an xbox not a high end pc!!! we cant have good looking games running at that frame rate at 720p, so much for halo 3 looking as good as the e3 trailer last year...
