I was checking out the demo by Staten over at IGN and I was amazed by the visuals in the New Mombasa night mission. Also, the FireFight level Security Zone looked sweet, too, love the shadows.

What do you think?

I am Katsu Kage, an assassin trained in the art of stealth. I was on a recon mission when I discovered a blue box hidden among some rubble. Once I entered the blue box it had taken me to a land far away. It was strange and fantastic! There I met PatikaVoom, the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. She showed me this land, then returned with me to the blue box. She called it a TARDIS and seemed to know how to work it. We left together and have been on many adventures, with many more to come!

i was blown away I can't wait!

It was amazing graphics. Best graphics I've ever seen in a videogame.

"This is Sierra-315, sir. We're pinned down by enemy snipers. Do you have a visual?"
"Roger that."
"Fire when ready."
-POW! POW!-
"Targets down."
"Roger."

Duh!!!! Great graphics. Better than any past halo! Even 3! I cant wait to see what kind of graphics Reach might have!!!!

I thought it looked great for being the old halo 3 engine.

Just goes to show that design and artistic direction is worth a great deal more than your polygon counts and whatnot..... I was dead impressed.

they really did look good. bungie probably tweaked the engine a little bit or something. also anyone know what engine bungie uses? they are so secretive about that. I have and have basic knowlege of how to use the unreal engine for multiple PC games and cryteks Sandbox engine.

it is not just the artists that make things look pretty, could have an artist make a beautiful model and not have the proper graphical engineers to make it happen in the game

I still love sunset. Security zone reminds me of Flatout though

Halo3 looked great and this is an inch better so no complainments.

I didn't see any difference..

Everyone's a pacifist between wars. It's like being a vegetarian between meals.

It looks alot better than 3, that's for sure. Though I always enjoyed 3's graphics... except for Johnson's face *shiver*

Of course I am, the graphics, the lights, the shadows, the details, the Drop part was absolutely awesome! And Firefight will be a great multiplayer mode, I can´t wait until September, 22nd.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

ODST's graphics don't look much better than Halo 3... i know why. It's hard to make damn good ones even better.

And good graphics are about style first, technical side second.

Love Halo's style.
