Subject: Anyone else dissapointed with the graphics?

lols everyone knows bulletproof glass cannot withstand teacups thrown by russian women.

EDIT, since no one can read between the lines....I'm not saying ODST's graphics are BAD, I'm just voicing my thoughts, which were that I was under the impression that they would be *better* than they are. But they're still great. Get it?

Don't get me wrong: Halo 3: ODST is gonna be a great game. But, it's completely obvious Bungie just did a major cut-and-paste job with nearly every character model, animation, and piece of AI. Every enemy I saw looked, moved, and acted just like any enemy from Halo 3. Both Halo 2 and 3 offered enormous graphical/AI improvements over their predecessor, but this one seems like more of a campaign expansion, rather than a new game, especially Bungie will have had quite some time to work on this since Halo 3 came out.

But, I guess it's to be expected...they've been spending a lot of time on map packs, and Halo: Reach, but I just wish the game looked even a *little* better.

HACK THE PLANET!

They can't do much to "improve" graphics because it is modeled off of the Halo 3 engine.

They did improve many textures and models.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

They are better than Halo 3's graphics.

Donuts > all other food

I agree. They did say though, that this uses the Halo 3 engine.

They have 4 months until release. Hopefully they fix some of this by then.

You have to understand that while ODST is new game, it is still Halo 3, after all.

I would describe it as this: "An expansion -- but better. A lot better."

The game's pretty much already done. All they would do now is polish it a bit.

Bungie has been hyping this as a new game ever since the original Halo 3: Recon trailer was released. I was just hoping for something more. And the name calling wasn't necessary.

Give them more time. I'm sure Bungie will make some tweaks before the release.

  • 06.02.2009 5:50 PM PDT

It is a campaign expansion. Bungie originally had it set at $40, but Microsoft bumped up the price, because they are jerks.

Just be happy they spiffed up the ODST's, and New Mombasa has new areas and textures. Also, they slightly tweaked the A.I. to allow for slight stealth like shooting enemies in the dark, and sneaking up on them.

Everything else was ripped straight from Halo 3. I'm just happy the ODST's don't look like Plastic Chief.

It was probably easiest for them to use the same engine and models.

  • 06.02.2009 5:51 PM PDT

--Second is just the first loser--
....damn gaming limit....

It is somewhat of an expansion, but a pretty awesome one at that! Don't forget that it takes place like right before Halo 3, so the enemies shouldn't look too much different. And yea, they are probably focusing on Reach, because thats a totally new game.

They added halo 3 to ODST because of the same engine.

You must have missed the part where I said ODST is going to be awesome. I never said the graphics were bad -- Halo 3 looks amazing -- I was just thinking Bungie would up the ante even further, and commenting on it.

I'm sure that we will see that in Halo: Reach, but since it is still Halo 3 you shouldn't look for much improvements on the graphics. Besides, gameplay is what i really pay attention to. As long as the graphics aren't so horrible it makes me want to go insane then I'm fine.
