how i reacted to the Halo 3 Beta needler!

Posted by:mauricio14
its ok i used it 25% of the time but when someone used it on me thats when i started calling him a n00b and a modder and how i was going to give him negative feedback you sissy needler user.

I mean now that Frankie is gone, do you think the Halo:Reach Devs will take their time to make the water look real and beautiful more so than Halo 3's water?

I'm sure the water physics will only improve.

Well personaly, I think the water could look like crap (literally) and I would still buy the game. I just don't see why of all the things you would think of suggesting for a new game, water comes to your mind. Not trying to make fun of you or anything, I just personally don't care how the water looks or think that it's that important. It would help the visuals though, I'll give you that.

It is not that I care, I personally dont. it is just that while Halo 3 was been worked on, Frankie started to make a really big deal about the water and how it is been worked on so it would look really good.

EDIT:Then again you haven't been here long enough to know these things.

Well if you look at it this way... they couldn't make it look worse could they? There should only be room for improvement. I think the water animations in Halo 3 look good. I can't complain.

Oh... and nice burn down there at the edit... lol

Frankie never really WORKED on water, did he? He's just been one of the collaborators, not someone who's actually skilled enough to make something (ZING) hahaha jk

but you get it.

Water can only look better. I just hope the waves on the beaches look better.

Jesus loves you, but everyone else thinks you're a twat.

if they can keep the frame rate high and still mange nice effects like water then id be happy, but if they have to sacrifice other things just for better water then i say keep the same system they have now.

I'm guessing Halo: Reach is gonna be run on a completely new engine rather than the Halo 3 one so it can only get better :O

I actually take time to look at Halo 3's visuals(not saying you don't, nor am I implying that I'm better or care more than you) and I hope they don't decline.


Although, the #1 thing I'm hoping for is an increased frame rate.

Ignorance is not an excuse, EVER!

yes, no, and possibly maybe NO one knows

If only we get more maps with apparent water. Except for valhalla, the water in the game almost feels like they wasted time programming it. A good example of what they could do is casualty's gorge's style of map, where one could sneak using the water to get to the other side.

To me it doesnt really matter that much. I mean i think halo 3's water graphics are pretty darn good. But the effect when i vehicles wheels are in it, not so much. If they could improve that i would be happy.
