If Reach could only have great graphics or really smart AI which would you rather have? I want Reach to have graphics better than Halo 3, but personally I really want very intelligent AI. I want legendary to be a lot harder than the other difficulties not only because you can inflict and take less damage, but because the enemies act a lot smarter and use smarter tactics against you.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Smarter AIs.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Gameplay > Look

Don't judge a book by it's cover (Graphics). It could have spectacular graphics, and be a sucky game. But if it has poor graphics, and is a great game, I am happy.

Both would be awesome, but Gameplay > Look any day.

Both...

If Reach didnt have a good balance of ai and graphics then the game is incomplete and i wouldn't buy it.

it is already hard enough in odst on heroic firefight and legendary campaing i say work on AI but enhance the graphics so that it will be amazing and emersive

  • 10.04.2009 3:00 PM PDT

Graphics need to crap all over the CoD series and the GOW series.

A.I.: keep it like ODST

  • 10.04.2009 3:12 PM PDT

it would have to be graphics as i cant see how the ai could get be smarter unless it can read your mind which in all honesty would give legendary a shot heroine and slowly destroy your self esteem. so yeah graphics

Code of Conduct

I say graphics. Maybe to the extent of Killzone 2, or the first teaser trailer of ODST.

Graphics cannot change after the release of Reach. Patches and DLC could create new characters with different personalities.

They aren't going to patch Campaign AI. The only think Updates will ever change is MP.

Tank beats everything!

I don't see any serious flaws with the AI in Halo 3. Bungie did a great job on programing the different species of covenant, and Halo 3 and ODST have some pretty nice graphics. Who says we can't have both? Bungie won't disappoint.

Just being Elites should make the main enemy AI better anyway :P

Great artificial intelligence is something that most games don't have. However I realize that awesome graphics would apply to everything about Halo Reach, while smarter AI would only affect the Campaign and FireFight.

  • 10.05.2009 9:28 PM PDT

I'd like both, but Artificial Intelligence for sure. I want the CPU players to play as realistic as possible, perhaps if Team Members drop out, they'll get replace by bot players.

  • 10.05.2009 9:33 PM PDT

Graphics cause I mostly play Multiplayer anyway.

  • 10.05.2009 9:37 PM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

Both, but AI is more important to me than graphics. Go look at H1 - the graphics aren't good now, but the AI is more than good enough to keep the game fun.

  • 10.05.2009 9:42 PM PDT

Were it so easy.

Gameplay over graphics.

Yeah I suppose that good AI does give a game a lot more lasting appeal than good graphics.
