Subject: Should Halo: Reach have improved graphics?

In the last few years I have seen the Halo Franchise lag behind other games in terms of graphics. Halo 3's graphics obviously fell behind COD 4 (came out at nearly the same time) and Gears Of War. Im not saying that graphics is every thing but it would be sweet if Halo: Reach gets graphics on par with the cut scenes from Halo Wars. That would help the game but not wreck the feeling. Also my friend sujested going cell shaded

There's plenty of time to make the game. They're not going to make it look bad.

Why? Give me an actual good reason why graphics matter at all.

  • 06.29.2009 7:35 PM PDT

Im just saying there starting to fall behind and if they have a chance to uses a different or improved engine they should long as it doesn't wreck the game


Shout out to bungie if your using a new engine tell us plez!!!!

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

well they better be good but the halo franchise has always had excellent graphics so i dont know what your talking about

  • 06.29.2009 7:36 PM PDT

im not haten but halo 3 doesn't have as good graphics as COD4 (HALO THREE IS STILL BETTER) and my friends say it looks to cartoon ish

  • 06.29.2009 7:38 PM PDT

You confuse me. Halo 3's graphics are at worst good. Unless you are comparing to GOW 2 or Crysis, that is. Also, cel-shaded Halo is one of the worst ideas i've ever heard.

Donuts > all other food

I could care less if the graphics were so bad that the game was 2D. All I care about is gameplay.

If the game is good, I'm satisfied.

You know for Halo: Reach they are using a new engine right?

Halo 3 is sci-fi. The graphics are supposed to look like how they do. Not super realistic like the COD series.

Don't take life too seriously. No one makes it out alive any way.

they should just add a little more detail... but still keep the halo look to it.

I want the amazing cutscenes from Halo Wars, but in the gameplay I don't really care. I'd rather have them spend time on the storyline and Campaign than anything else.

GOW lives on it's graphics. It's gameplay isn't nearly as fun and the online doesn't come close.

Why wouldn't they? Bungie knows they need to keep up with the competition.

I would be surprised if they used Halo 3's engine yet again.

Honestly I couldn't give less a -blam!- about graphics. I'd like it if they bumped it up to 60 fps just because that's better for a shooter, but that actual graphics don't make much of a difference.

Example, if Halo 2 had Theater mode I wouldn't play Halo 3. I enjoy Theater a lot and think it's crazy awesome, but Halo 2's gameplay is, in general, more fun.

  • 06.29.2009 8:02 PM PDT

Even if Halo: Reach's graphics resembled those used to create Pong, I'm sure I would still play it for years. Granted they will not try to make it look bad, I'm sure it will be atleast slightly improved from Halo 3. I would want the graphics to be about the same as Halo 3 or even "worse" to resemble Halo 2 if that meant less lag.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

ODST is the first game they've made without making a new engine. So why would they not have a new engine in their newest full game? Not definitive proof but good enough.

And I would imagine we will see a very good upgrade in graphics.

Halo 3 was made on the same graphics engine as halo2. It was just transfered and polished in HD for the 360. Halo:reach has been confirmed to be on a new graphics engine. Which means halo will finally have Next gen graphics.

I could careless as long as they don't make it like Carnival Games'. To me, that game raped my eyes. If you're gonna make a game, make sure players actually see it / don't get headaches from it.

Because it's progress. It's why we stopped using black and white film, and it's why Halo 3 doesn't look like this.
