Ok please read this whole thing cause its kinda confusing....

Ok first off look at This Screen and look at MC forearm Nice bumpmapping right in single player. OK now look at This screen and agian look at MC forearm, its not bumpmaped....well we know graphics are toned down for multiplayer and the backround looks like zanibar but also the ODST are there so........it cant be multiplayer right? so could the first screen be a cinamtic sceen? also look at This screen its multiplayer so it seems that multiplayer is toneed down a bit so the second screen must be multiplayer but the ODST guys make you wounder if they are gonna be in Multiplayer or the graphis were getting from bungie false....I shure hope not.....so the ODST could be in multiplayer

what do you guys think

they are tuning down graphics for multiplayer to reduce Lag.

That, and if you look closely, they are on Zanzibar. Which is a multiplyer course.

they tune down graphics and special effects on multiplayer and co-op.. this is nothing new.. they did the same thing in halo 1(xbox)

although multiplayer is still as sweet

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

They are on Zanzibar. Look the trees are the same at the end of the beach.

But why would you want to be an ODST? You would die so fast.

I think it is just a staged picture for E3. They probably just added some ODST skins and placed them over two spartans.
