All I'm saying or trying to get across is that a single DVD lacks the space for the content I would like to see in Halo Reach. I want 1080p resolution with exceptionally better graphics than Halo 3, I want audio that is of the highest quality like maybe Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio using all 7.1 channels, I want additional content such as a map builder far superior to forge and imagine what else could be implemented. Basically I do not want the game to be sacrificed or limited by the 4.7gb limit on a single DVD. Or maybe I'm just thinking on too grand a scale...
The way you are thinking is impractical. There are a bunch of games available (many in fact) that are full 1080p that run fine on the DVD's used for 360 games, and it's getting to be the norm. The graphical issue depends on the dev as well as the tools, and things can only look so good on a video game. Pick any game on the PS3, it's graphical fidelity has nothing to do with the BD disk, but the designers that did a good job. The amount of content is what eats up space. A perfect example of this is MGS4, the only reason it needed all that damn space is because you are essentially playing a movie. There are so many cutscenes in that game that I frequently kept the popcorn handy. Not all games need to be this way.
As I said in my earlier post, with the example of RE5, great graphics are achievable on the 360, but it requires the dev to get it done. Bungie is fully capable of delivering in this aspect, but they put more emphasis on smooth gameplay than awesome graphics, because quite honestly, gameplay should take precedence. Personally I think it will look great, considering Halo3 is nearly 2 years old and still one of the better looking game out there.
