Resistance Is Futile...

Mildly... I mean it still looks about the same... Maybe better lighting and a bit tighter graphics and textures... Good Pixel shading and bump mapping.

I'd like to see a complete overhaul of the engine though...

THE FOLLOWING IN SPECULATION/ PERSONAL THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS:
IMO I think Bungie is going to wait till M$ makes its next console in a couple years before it starts on Halo4 and a new engine..... ODST & Reach is basically to hold us over until then I bet.. They had two Halo's for the Xbox so they can't just have 1 for the 360..We'd go nuts... But they want to make HALO 4 Badass and need to wait on better hardware to do it... I just hope it doesnt use natal... I love my handhold controller and cannot live without it. lol

Why does Bungie put us through such avid anticipation?

Sorry to burst your bubble man, but Halo 4 will never exist. Bungie said so.

microsoft said that the 360 would have a 10 year life span.

He probably just meant Halo 4 as in a new Halo game.

I hope the next game after reach turns out to be about the covenant or something thatd be cool

Its how we fall

i agree the Halo 3 engine is a great but it does kinsa need a slight fix in terms of lighting and textures. but its still does a very good job.

I know but again I speculate that there will be a Halo 4.. I don't really trust what a company says.. Bill gates once said 640k should be enough ram anyone would ever need. lol.

Plus the legendary ending of H3 is left Wide open. I cant see them NEVER picking up on it.. even it its 10 years from now. again its just opinion... they are like A-holes... Everyone has one. ;)

They said for us not to expect it in the coming years. That doesn't mean that when the new console hits the stage there is no possibility.

it would be awsome if they used the halo wars engine, the cinema looked so beast, but that engine wasnt from bungie but still it would be cool if they used it for halo reach

You better close this sig when your done.

That engine is for a completely different type of game. It wouldn't work, maybe they could do something about the cutscenes but other than that its just not possible.

I'm pretty sure that any improved look is merely due to better application of the same technology.

You need not look further than the mythic map pack, compared to heroic, for evidence of this.

uhh... Im pretty sure that was more pre-renderings than the engine... The actual Engine in H wars was the gameplay, which would not be great in a FPS... (COULD BE WRONG) *shrugs*

These will be the last of the Halo games. Deep in your soul you know that the only thing that Bungie is making when Xbox #3 comes out is MARATHON NEW AND -blam!- IMPROVED.

Don't worry! Halo: Reach will be using a new engine.

because bungie tends not to use the same engine twice.
