Dude, re-skinning doesn't make them look better, it just makes them look different.

And the Xbox 360 can only do so much.

EDIT:: Have you even seen the skyboxes in Halo 3 ODST? Name one other game which has skyboxes as epic as that.

from what ive seen. The enemies look completely fine to be honest...

Theres 3 months to go, So maybe Bungie will change small things in the game before shipping ODST

This guy knows how to make games. Re-skinning makes for better graphics!

Sorry xaval, that's just not how it works.

Dude, if you want graphical change, or any other mystical magical secrets, then wait for the REACH BETA. I'm sure a certain man will walk by whilst doubling in size for no reason.

Haha, I actually heard from a dude who is friends with Pat (the cinematic animator straight out of digipen) that they totally reworked the Halo 3 engine for ODST. He made it sound like they built a new engine. I don't know how much of that is true and how much is spin, because the guy who told me really doesn't like the Halo franchise, and likes to dis on it.

But I know for sure that they are making good use of advanced techniques like parallax and HDR rendering. I just really hope 2 things in terms of the ODST engine, and I am counting on Noguchi to pull it off:

1) Make use of the "Save game to hard drive" for ODST and the Halo 3 multiplayer experience.

2) Fix the screen lag on HDTVs. There has been a consensus that Halo 3 is worse than many other shooters.

what do you want better looking grunts and brutes or a super nice new gameplay mode?
I don't even have to say my answer cause every halo fan is drilled to play the new mode.

hope there will be more in the future.

besides the graphics are B E A utiful have you seen the campaign gameplay and the burning building at the end of the broken bridge? STUNNING!

ohai...

You're telling me you perfer to play a game with awesome graphics than the actual gameplay itself?

Gameplay > Graphics.
