i'd love it if the did improve the grafics but i'd prefer it if they were to bring the cutscene grafics to par with those in halo wars

"Let me turret, you suck at it. Don't be sad we all know it."

They'd have to make this game frikken amazing. Its most likely going to be the last Halo game. Not much else you can make a game on. The story is done so they'll probably go all out on kick-ass graphics.
And yes graphics do matter. Its like the difference between watching an old VHS and a Blueray. HD kicks the crap out of just an ok picture. Personally I think the bigger thing would be A) A long, epic storyline B) Awesome customization (maybe show your character in the clips) C) Lots and lots of Freedom-stuff to do when you beat the game.
If I get all that I'll be happy.

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.


seriously... Halo Wars' cutscenes were CGI, replicating that in gameplay is next to impossible. You'd have to be an idiot to think that's possible -with an FPS, even!

Halo 3 had impressive graphics.

Halo Reach can only have better graphics. Bungie won't skimp on it, and it's not something debatable or questionable.



right on the money

Same here, but I'm still not quite sure that this will be the last Halo game. Bungie could still make games out of First Strike, and Ghosts of Onyx. So that's another two games left there, and, I know this is a longshot, they still might make a Halo 4. I know, it's stupid, but it's a possibility.

hell they could even go and make a game about the forrunner and what happened to them, or one based off the many halo comics out there

Do Not Hesitate, Show No Mercy, Not One Step Back.
Finish It.

It changes to feel of the game. Halo would not be Halo is you were shooting at stick figures.

So, you'd like to play a game with little dots as your character?

Things that have a more attractive look will reel in more customers.

And better graphics are just overall better. Why not have better graphics. I don't want to have ugly humans again like in Halo 3.

-First off Gears of War has some of the best gameplay available to date(IMO).
-It Pains me to say this but, Call of duty does have better graphics then halo 3
-Halo 3's engine = Halos 2's
-Gameplay>Graphics
-Unfortunatly video gaming isn't what it used to be 5-10 years ago, but now its a more casual group playing halo and in most cases Gameplay<Graphics...Just to apeal to the casual crowd. Hopefully bungie sticks to its hardcore fan and improves gameplay and maybe improve the graphics.
- Best Selling Shooters to-date
