The majority of people who say Halo doesn't have good graphics are used to those gloomy saturated color games. The real world has colors, yes I know shocking? I've never seen a game like Halo 3 that do so much work into their textures, I mean it literately stops me from playing on Halo 3 for a few minutes to stop and look at some of the normal, bump, and parallax mapping. Whoever was the texture artist is really a god among men, and needs to be worshiped because even Crysis doesn't even have such high-resolution textures without some kind of modification.
I could write another paragraph on how worldly the sky dome is, but I'd rather not since merely playing Halo 3 and actually paying attention to detail explains it already.
For the most part Halo 3 has the 3rd best graphics in the world of gaming, to me at least.
PS: I've played Crysis, Killzone 2, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, etc and none of them stack up the textures, and sky dome(s) of Halo 3's.
Did you play it on the highest setting (Crysis)? Technically, the game cannot look worse than Halo 3. You do not understand how much stronger a computer is than an Xbox.
Edit to poster above:
Could you post some comparison shots? I haven't seen anything that would lead me to that conclusion.
Played it on my gaming rig (Quad core 9850, GPU Geforce 285 gtx, RAM 8GB, etc) and played it on Ultra high (custom config) 1680 x 1050 (AA x2), and I still think Halo 3's textures are superior, and I do know how much a computer is stronger than an Xbox, but hardly no company except Crytek uses all those nifty expensive computer parts to the fullest, so there is really no point in saying a console game can't look better than a PC game.
