You know, now that I think about it. The Halo 3 Engine actually does push the Xbox 360 close to its limits. Even though it's a heavily modified version of the Halo 2 Engine, it still does use a lot of power from the 360. In fact, I think that Halo 3 actually pushes the 360 so much that it can cause the xbox 360 to overheat and have problems later on. If Halo Reach uses an even more powerful game engine, it could really push the xbox 360 past what it can handle.
I wonder if it's possible to overclock the xbox 360 cpu and gpu like you can on the PC maybe then, Halo Reach could run smoothly on the 360 without frying your console.
The Halo 3 Engine doesnt push the 360 to its limit...Look at the CryEngine 3 or Id Tech 5..this Engines pushing the 360 to its limit.
The Halo 3 engine is an improved Halo 2 Engine..watch some Youtube Videos from the old Alpha Halo 3 build and u will see.
The Halo 3 Engine, despite being an advanced version of the Halo 2 Engine does really push the Xbox 360 close to its limits.
NO it doesnt...u dont know anything about the 360 Hardware and Engines there are possible on it.
So stfu
When you play Halo 3 on the console, you can really tell its taking a lot of power. It's not like when you play an original xbox game, the console is fairly quiet. When you play Halo 3, the console makes quite a lot of noise especially with the fans spinning. That's a sign of how much power Halo 3 requires.
Well just because it takes a lot of power to run an engine doesnt mean the engine is pushing the full capabilities of the machine. The Halo 3 engine is probably really inefficient compared to what there capable of doing with there new engine. Halo 3 definitely isnt optimized to max out what the 360 hardware can do, I think when they show Reach up and running u will understand what I mean. Halo 3 engine is based off of Halo 2 code, which wasn't designed around multi core processing and multi threading... if Bungie is going to push the Hardware they have to build an engine from the ground up, designed around the 360 hardware.
