You have to remember that since Halo 3, Bungie's editing computers have probably gotten twice as fast, but they're still limited by what the Xbox 360 can actually do.

The difference in visuals between Halo 3 and ODST are a prime example. I think Reach will really push what the 360 can do, just like Halo 2 on the original Xbox.

yup its gonna rock so hardd!!

And how CMT is pushing HCE past its limits.

Doubt it.

Halo 3 showed us that, even with next-gen hardware, Bungie is incapable of making a good looking game that doesn't seem like it's dragged out of a cartoon.

Hype hype hype.

First of all Halo CE, and Halo 2, were both amazing looking for their time, in fact most reviewer said they were the best looking games available on consoles. Secondly, the whole cartoon thing is called an art style, and its works really well with Halo.

I never said a word about Halo CE or 2. I said that Halo 3 looks like crap. And it does, compared to other next-gen 360 games.

this was obvious, did you think it would look the same as H3? all the games in the hallo series apart from H3 had amazing graphics for the time they were released and H3 wasnt too bad either. why would this be any different especially seeing as it wass the main criticism for halo 3.

Um, naysayers, have you seen what Gears 2 looked like?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Since the tech advances for that game also came because of the help from Microsoft, I think we can drawn some clear conclusions here.

Bungie can learn new techniques to get things to look better - I remember in one of the Bungie podcasts one of the Bungie employees said that they had come up with a new technique for doing buildings in ODST. Most of the graphical improvements from ODST were a result of knowing how to use the engine better.

Bungie can, without doubt, create something that looks better than Halo 3 does. But I don't think we're going to see anything like Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2 is all.
