Now they say, that the Halo games have really good graphics, or at least thats what I'm hearing them say. And I think to myself, thats kinda true except, in the HALO 2 documentory that comes with the newer game demos, they show that movie of Master Chief going for his gun, and the jumping out into this exploding planet (earth), and as soon as I saw it I knew right away that they focused way more on the actual game then the graphics. Here's my question to you guys, good graphics or not, don't you think that a first person shooting game should have some feet when you look down?! Especially if they said it would have good graphics (which they didn't say about HALO 2)!

sorry man, but in Breakdown, which does the leg/feet thing, it looks quite awkward.
I don't think that Bungie should do it unless they can spare the extra power required. besides, Halo 1 was awesome without this feature.

-S

This was a bewildering post.

All of that, just to say you want to be able to see your feet?

And who didn't say Halo 2 would have good graphics?

JUst make sure the reload speeds are the same for the firq*st person view and from someone else's view. It looks akward when you have bullets coming towards you from a gun firing in the air (*cough*assaultrifle*cough). Just a remark. I'm not too fussed about feet, cos it looked completely "raté" in breakout. As has already been mentioned.

Yes! I've never seen it in any game before (tell me if you have), but for a while I've thought it would be pretty cool if you were actually looking out of a full character model of yourself instead of just your hands.

And there's no reason you shouldn't be able to see your own shadow.


And why exactly did the Halo 2 trailer make you think they weren't focusing on graphics?

Halo 2 if not the best graphics it's definately top 3 with doom 3 and half life 2.

And the leg thing. It would just get annoying.

I really don't care if it does show feet if you look down. I would only care if you could break grunts faces by jumping on them, then I would like to see my alloy feet breaking through.

While we are on the topic of Breakdown, I think it would be awesome to have a hand-to-hand combat system just in case you run completely out of ammo...not like you will but just in case. Plus Bungie has mentioned that when you look down you will see more of your gun and when you look up your gun kinda drops from view. I hope you can still shoot up of you needed to.
