I was just wondering if Bungie made or will be making a new Graphics engine for Reach, i think it would be nice to see a bit of a change=)

They could, I always prefer gameplay over graphics but it would be nice for Reach to look as good as it plays.

Recent K/D ratio 2:1

Recent games is either 1st or 2nd place mostly.

Yeah and then finally we can get those 10.0 and 100% reviews.

Yea i do to, but personly alot of the halo games play the exact same so spicing it up would be nice

They've used the same engine for Halo 2, 3 and ODST.

Monkey see, Monkey shoot.

There will certainly be a graphics update, that I am sure.
But the game engine will probably remain the same.

Halo 3's engine is not the same as Halo 2's...

and ODST is an expansion.


if the engine is the same bungie should realize that the game will probably bomb.

technically they have been working on Halo Reach Since Halo 3, so 3 years is more than enough time to make the game and engine.

Ah right.
I thought Halo 2 had the same engine as Halo 3, my bad.

Did he just say "grunt rebellion?!" What? Fish? a barrel you say? Well that's not very sporting... oooooooohhh...

I believe Sneaky is right about Havok being used as the physics engine for the last two games, but the graphics engine is unique. If you do some research, I believe they call it simply the "Halo 3 Engine" and they talked at E3 about how the artists have really done some amazing things with it in ODST. They could make a new engine for Reach, but I'd imagine if they were starting over completely from scratch, we wouldn't be seeing a 2010 release window.

erm...
H2 and H3 DO use the same engine. except that it has been improved to look better.
that's why so many ps3 fanboys called H3 halo 2.5 or H2HD.... it looks WAY similar to H2

ha ha ha ha ha ha ah funniest thing on Bnet, it will bomb ha ha ha ha ha hahaaa dont you remember the 1000's of posts asking for campain expansions in the past, people saying they just want new maps and levels, which is what they are doing effectively.

To say it would bomb is very ignorent to the halo community and makes a mockery of the franchise as a whole. Its on the same system (360) so you can only expect more of the same, this is not gears, nor should it be.

Head's first

I really hope so, the Halo 3 engine is starting to show its age. And idk, i feel Bungie isn't pushing the X360 to its limits. I mean just check out the new CryEngine 3 tech demo for the 360/PS3 and you can see Crytek pushing the X360 to its absolute limits. I want to see Bungie push the hardware even further.

No they don't.
Halo 3 uses what is just called the Halo 3 Engine (combined with Havok for the physics NOT graphics). Halo 2 used the Halo 2 Engine.
Also, H3 looks like H2 because the change in style between the two is not as big as the change in style from H:CE to H2. Compare the two graphically and you see a HUGE difference. Really.

urg!! The Halo 3 engine is NOT a ground up engine, its an EVOLVED Halo 2 engine.

  • 06.07.2009 7:12 AM PDT

a) shush up, you clearly know nothing about game development
b) to use the same engine again, after releasing an expansion on the same engine would be ridiculous, and the game would infact do poorly.

the halo 2 engine is an evolved halo ce engine...
The call of duty 4 engine is an evolved call of duty 1 engine

The unreal 3 engine is an evolved unreal 2 engine...

But they are all different engines

ok dear, BK's messaging me, already blocked, i just dont care how stupid you are, your all the same as the "there will be no halo 4" kids who are now going "technically its not called halo 4 so i'm still right" its like starwars nubs

Well you dont see the point, there is a difference between updating/evolving a previous engine (Halo 3) and building an engine from scratch (id Tech 5). Ground up engines push the hardware better. All im asking for is a brand new engine.
