There are some great graphics out there modern warfare, gears of war, mass effect, ghost recon 2, and fallout 3 are some that come to mind when i want to compare halo 3's engine. In my opinion halo 3 had its own look and was right around most of these games but not as good as CoD and GoW 2. do you think reach will be able to hold its own with the top games in 2010.

You can't kill what's dead.

Stand. Fight. Resist. S2F.

I'm pretty sure Bungie is going to go out with a huge bang. So yes, it will be able to compete. Will it be the best? We're just going to have to wait and find out.

I wish people would stop equating graphics and gameplay. Here is a fact for you.

While developing a technology that would allow pilots to see the land while flying at night, the programmers found that pilots were able to react quicker when the graphics were less-than-real, as opposed to realistic.

Halo isn't supposed to be increadibly gory, with you being able to see every last drop of sweat on a guys face. Its supposed to be about super powered soldiers that bounce around in invinsible armour, magical shields, and over the top weapons/vehicals (yay!).

Yeah, Bungie has been more about functionality and fun over graphics. Not to say that Bungie's graphics in the past have not been top notch but other games have looked better.

Well you have to take functinality and physics into account dont ya? If you have an increadibly real looking person, yet he has magical sheilds and can fall 500 ft and live, then it doesn't quite match.

Yes, it will have "better graphics" than any other previous Halo game, but good graphics doesn't make a good game.

New graphics look ace!

Check out the Brutes!

LOL. But I do think that Reach's graphics are going to blow people away. They'll want to close their Halo chapter with a huge bang.
