Subject: ODST graphics

Wait, what? Sub-par? Are you -blam!- stupid?

And the reason it looks more Gears-ish, is because there is a new shading system at play.

They are still using the Halo 3 engine since it's an "expansion". Therefore, they can't do much besides polishing the graphics up a little.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Now I can't even tell if you're joking or not!

Don't base whether or not you buy a game on its graphics. Gameplay and how fun it is are what matter most. Not the textures of the grass that you will never need to look at!

You know, I'm just wondering why graphics are often cited among a game's most important qualities. If ODST had Halo 1 quality graphics, I'd still play it. Why in the hell do people give one flying crapola about graphics? Sure, they're nice to look at, but they rarely serve a critical function.

Duracell.
I don't keep going and going and going and...
but i Start, and just don't Stop.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

um.... well lets see.... the graphics for halo have never been picture perfect, it's done with artistic flare. and as for how difficult it is to make really good graphics and turn it up? VERY difficult speaking from experience. like as in hundreds of hours. but as for halo this is their style, they keep it as a game, not a film.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

I don't give a -Blam!- about the graphics.

You're complaining about Halo's graphics? The only thing Bungie is bad at is rendering human faces


and by the looks of one of their screenshots (check the gallery, 3 ODSTs helmetless) they seem to have cleared that up.

The graphics look awesome, and are (confirmed) better than Halo 3's.

The reason it looks different is because it's at night.

ODST graphics = sexy

7even is Darker

Alot of the reason halo 3 was considered to look bad was mainly because master chief looked bad (imo) the ODST's not seem much more detailed and seem to have a bigger impact on the visual fidelity.

Supreme mastery therefore, is not to be victorious in all your battles; supreme excellence is to be victorious without fighting.

They looked good to me. They could be better but what couldn't?

Remember Youtube videos look like crap compared to the real thing on your HDTV.

Are you comparing them to real life because they look great.
