I will admit that Keys and Sarge didn't look all the great, but that was the only real thing that bothered me about the game visually.

If only Bungie just upped the textures to 2048x2048 for the main characters, then there wouldn't be as much complaining.

No one's going to judge the game from those poppy flood things in the environment, but by what's the central focus on the screen. And Miranda and the Sarge just look muddy.

Geometry was fine. Just......Bungie what were your priorities lol.

"ZOMG Joe look at this road. I can zoom in forever and it still looks great!"

"Yeah. Hey, could you help me on Miranda she's not tweaked well enough"

"Oh sorry man we've used up all our assets already. I mean..... the road!!!!"

hahaha.

I was just playing around with forge and messing with the physics of the water.

I put all the propane tanks and fusion cores as i could in the water and blocked them off so they wouldn't float into shore. (cool eh? ) and I threw a grenade and the water shot up SO high and pieces from the stone barrier didn't fall down for a good 10 seconds.

and I was shooting all the propane tanks and they were flying around everywhere (yeah, in the air, a good 15 feet) and exploding over my head.

it was awesome. Ill be taking screen shots tomorrow :)

I love halo 3! its so much fun

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]

Its graphics are lacking.

There I said it.

This is the 360s premier title, and its not even in HD, it lacks AA, and has framerate issues (not to mention looks pretty average in many instances).

Most of these incosistancies are in singleplayer though. And yes the SP is underwhelming, half of it is good - but fairly standard, a quater is bad, and a quater is awesome.

I would say the graphics are lacking in certain areas. Not the whole package.

It may not be 720p HD (thankyou B3d for making the internet rage on about this most pathetic nitpick), but it makes up for it in glorious sexy "can't touch this" lighting/HDR.

I never get sick of it.

Now I'm purposely looking at the sun in real life and getting my eyes to adjust just because Halo got me appreciating the effect lol.

Oh, and best slime ever.

dude! How sick is the feature!!!

Like, when you're in the pelican and you look out and it's SUPER bright and your eyes have to adjust so it's normal, then you look into to pelican hangar and its dark and your eyes readjust.

So awesome.

I also hate how fanboys use the HD thing against halo 3.

NO ONE noticed or said anything about it until someone said something. That just gave them ammunition to bash halo 3. When they never noticed it before. No one did.

Some people are just pathetic. you know who you are.

skrat_01

but it still got AAA across the board.

I'll take my opinion and the millions of others over yours, thanks.

You just posted random opinions and no reasons why you think that. etc etc.

I have never came across framerate issues. and I know it's not 720p. But I'd rather have those lighting features anyday instead of the missing 80p of resolution. As long as it's not 480p I'm happy.

Is it GeOW? no. does it look pretty? Damn straight.

If it was all the things you say it is, it would have scored that. Get over it.

[QUOTE="skingus"][QUOTE="Norule04"]Omg seriously go back and play halo 2, now compare it to 3 and you will be amazed how much it has improved.---OkeyDokey---

I will admit that Keys and Sarge didn't look all the great, but that was the only real thing that bothered me about the game visually.

I think it's safe to say that we're all still spoiled on how good Gears of War looks. Halo 3 looks just fine. I don't see why people are complaining about itChrisMun

I'm with you there.

As soon as a game comes out that looks pretty and is COLORFUL people think it looks like trash. I guarantee you if it had the MUD look to it like GeoW does or COD4 you would think VERY differently about Halo 3.

Halo 3 doesn't look bad. I have seen and taken many in-game screen-shots and there is no way the game looks bad. Halo 3 has some of the best lighting features I have ever seen in a game.

As for MP, I still think the game looks amazing. Not as good as the SP obviously, but the character models look fantastic, as do the surroundings and vehicles.

I'm no fanboy, but I really don't see how people can complain about halo 3 and say it looks bad.

As for me, I prefer the blades. I like having everything I need right there and I can access it instantly. I can go from looking at my achievements to seeing what new content their is to download (demos videos etc) and go over to the Video market place and see if there is any new movies or shows I'd like to download. I can do this all with ease. AND!!! I can make songs going back and forth on the blades! :) The blades are just nice, simple, easy to use, and pretty sweet. And the customizable backgrounds are a nice touch, as well as the fully customizable blades. Hopefully the dashboard will get some sweet updates soon.

I think XMB has some serious potential though. The PSP xmb has a lot of customization in it, and I think the PS3's interface could very cool.

I like the Wii's interface because it's nice and simples. And the addition of weather and opera should make it very nice to just start your wii, point, and click and you're done.

All of them are good in their own way. I prefer the blades overall though :)

[QUOTE="Jesus-Halo-God"][QUOTE="mjarantilla"][QUOTE="Jesus-Halo-God"]

The Xbox Blades are the best. For the following reasons:

1. I don't need to use a gimicky remote to use it.
2. It's not complex like the XMB.
3. Download Blade is standard.
4. Blades look cooler and sound better than XMB? Random 3 letters? Lulz.
5. I can customize my Blades. Can't do that with PS3 and Wii.

Umm... the whole reasoning behind the Channels IS customization. At least in the arrangement of the selections.

OH! You're talking about COSMETIC customization! Of course, typical lemming: only interested in the surface appearance, but doesn't care about anything with real depth.

:P

First, I don't care, because I was joking.

Second, there are a lot of people who only care about single player, and in that, Halo 3 utterly fails. And regardless of what YOU and other hardcore gamers think, the majority of gamers are still mainly (and more often than not, exclusively) single-player gamers.

Third, Forge? The very definition of a cosmetic addition unless you are a serious online MP whore.

guys guys, we're talking about interfaces here...lets keep fanboyism out of it okie? :)

Play Nice.

Spain. The Most important demopgraphic.

:lol:

For get about the U.S., Japan, and the U.K.!!!!

It's all about Spain!

Halo 1 was the only Halo I found fun....all the others were rehashes with a new paint of coat, and a few variations...

But other than that Halo is just another bland all-american ignorance filled game, anyone who disagrees fits in the All American star spangled banner bush loving category I speak of....

It's Halo 2, with a new single player, and new multi-player, what I found funny was how they embraced it for using the same formla as the previous, but with still a lackluster single player, but overall improvements, and scores a nine, but games as Gran Turismo 4, MGS Snake Eater, Jack 3, new ratchets, Metroid Prime 3 and such get a lower score and get complained about 'Still re-using the same great formula':roll:figures....

But yea, basically Halo 3 is the same Halo, simple straight forward multiplayer, yadda yadda, I guess I got tired of the same battle rifles, assult rifles, grunts, brutes, etc.. etc.. alien stuff over and over again, but the lemmings and gamespot and every other reviewer doesn't, not to say it's a bad game, or call it boring, but it bores ME....go ahead and critisize me lemmings for having an opinion...

Muzzle_Flashes

so...you justify your words by being ignorant and hateful? That makes a ton of sense.

Way to be a hypocrite ad generalize a whole group of people.

You're as ignorant as they come. Congrats.

[QUOTE="TheSystemLord1"]

mediocre game...disappointing...

right...

AAA status from IGN, Gamespot, EGM, Gameinformer, and many...many...MANY others says you are wrong and your opinion means nothing. Although this is a forum...so we have to listen to it regardless.

jacky531

bahahaha. they sure did!!! With a black briefcase with 1....BILLION DOLLARS INSIDE IT!!!

They set it down in an airport and a special agent from IGN walked by and picked it up and brought it back to IGN HQ under a volcano while the MS agent was seen setting down the briefcase and took a cyanide pill while flying his private one man submarine to the MS HQ built inside the cliffs of South America. :lol:
