I dont really get why everyone wants better graphics. I think it -blam!-s the game play up. I can understand awesome campaign graphics, but multiplayer is much better with less textures, like halo 1 and 2.

In halo 3 theres so many -blam!- textures the enemies blend in and its hard to make them out some times. In halo 2 you could also make out the enemies. Also the maps on halo 3 are full of -blam!- and debreit everywhere. So if your trying to run away backwards or something, you get stuck on all the -blam!- -blam!- everywhere then end up dying.

Please make maps easier to more about on, and stop the texxtures mixing the game in to a blur. (Blackout is a classic example of this.)

If they keep the VISR idea from ODST then the blur problem will be gone.

Wouldn't geek imply intelligence? That post shows no signs of intelligence.

Im not saying im the cleverest bloke around. And in my opinion, geeks arnt all clever. They just know about stuff that other people dont care about, or wouldn't take interest. My opinion is this. A geek will read how to build an engine(car engine) and say I know how to build an engine. But when it comes to building it in real life, they wouldnt be able to do it. Where as I would.

The only problem that I have with mp graphics is that random stuff like trash is spewd about that wastes some of the memory. And yeah, I'd rather have up to date state of the art 360 graphics than two year old graphics that we have now.

Technology is progressing, come along for the ride.

i think that blur of textures makes the game look more real. Not being able to immediately identify the outline of the enemy for a busy jungle background is a natural phenomena. Anyone ever go hunting? Everything blends in with itself.

Maintaining the same old Halo 3 graphics won't work. Videogame graphics get better every year, Bungie can't afford to start building with the same engine, because by the time 2010 comes along, they probably won't be able to get away with Halo 3 graphics (as good as they were).

Small modifications at least.

Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.

I like Halo 3's graphics as it is. But there is always room for improvement!! The only flaw that I really noticed in H3's graphics were some of the human faces.

Better graphics, please, just don't put so many stupid stairs and random blocks in MP maps that deflect an otherwise perfectly-placed grenade.

Agreed, and I mentioned as much on another of these posts the other day. With the exception of some of the faces and some interesting declines in texture modeling towards the end of the game, Halo3 is still one of the best lookin 360 games out there, and it's nearly 2 years old.

There are those who like Halo for what Halo is, and then there are those that like videogames just cause they look sharp. Graphics have never made a game great. Great graphics with boring or weak gameplay is never a winning formula. The gameplay has to come first, and if awesome gameplay calls for small sacrifices in graphical quality, then so be it.

Um Halo 2 maps had alot of debeit in them too. And i want better graphics but they dont have to be like insanely better.

I don't see how they can do better graphics and fit everything onto one DVD-ROM. I think they should focus their computing power on better physics, better AI, network functionality(halo 3 net-code was done right awful), and larger quantities of players, AI, move-able/destructible objects, ect...

Halo deserve better graphics.

It will be 2010 when this game is released. Releasing a game with 2007 graphics then is unacceptable, really.

I'm sure Bungie will come up with another winning formula.

Just an Average Joe...

A certain level of realism helps indulge the player further in to their gameplay experience. I'm not demanding a huge graphic improvement, but I would like to see somewhat of an improvement or upgrade.

  • 06.19.2009 4:30 PM PDT

Touchdown! Hit it Marines!!

I agree with everyone saying that gameplay must always come before graphics. Bungie have nailed the gameplay, the music, the multiplayer and the art. I want to see improved animation, graphics, dialogue, AI and campaign level design.

Hello! Welcome to ProphecyXYZ / LashingRaptor's profile!

ProphecyXYZ is my current Gamertag, and username on pretty much everything. LashingRaptor was my first, randomly generated, Gamertag. Add me up for some fun, awesome matches! (E-Harmony, much?)

I specialize in Driving and Piloting, expect me to get mad if you take the Banshee / Warthog / Falcon when your don't even know how to drive. I write machinimas, and I voice act often.

What Bungie should improve on;

Human Faces
Ground Textures
Needs more blood and a bit of gore would be lovely


and more importantly

Needs more individuality on enemies and allies, like There should at least be like 10 different character models that are all unique, and then add the armor palette swaps, the armor can also have little dents and imperfections that aren't noticeable during battle, but can be noticeable if you stand 4 elites in a line. There's no need to add this during multiplayer, as it causes a lot of lag. But for campaign, Blow us away with graphics.

I complain about this all the time, I think that if they kept(or made better) the graphics in the game, but made it run smoothly(which is possible), everyone would be happy.

  • 06.19.2009 7:05 PM PDT

Part of a game is to look good. The best companies will blend graphics, gameplay and features well. *cough*Halo 3*cough*

They should take steps forwards, not back wards. Real battle fields are complex.

Yeah, Halo 3's forerunner themed maps suffer from this.

I say make the graphics the best they can. It provides a more immersive experience. And 'best' doesn't mean just adding more geometry.

My third montage!

Doesn't that kind of add to the challenge of multiplayer? Not seeing an opponent hiding in that shaded area? It's all about awareness right?
