Subject: what engine will HALO REACH use ?

We all know that HALO ODST is using the same engine of HALO 3 but what is HALO REACH using ? is it the same engine ?

It's a very high-quality engine. Not Halo 3's and not Halo 3: ODST's.

No AAA is just an expression about how awesome it is. We are yet to hear what it's called.

Wow, that sucked. Oh well let's try again.

So far each engine has been built upon the last. There's always room to had another couple of hundred thousand lines of code to increase draw distances, poly count, texture resolution, bsp size. There really isn't much more that can be done. We've already more or less peaked poly count, all thats left to do is up the ante on lighting, shaders, etc.

Well that sounds cool and cant wait to see what it could do ! and the quality of the new graphics but would it be cool if they use the CryEngine 3 ...

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.

The Doom Engine. Man that thing can do ANYTHING.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

lol. It'd be compatable with the Iphone!

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

So long as its not the Unreal engine.
It should be renamed the Bullet lag engine.

I hope the HALO REACH engine makes the game feel more realistic with...

1. Graphics
2. Sounds
3. AI
4. Game Play
5. Story line
6. Cinematics
7. Multiplayer

so you're saying you rather have HALO REACH to look like a arcade game than a 1st person shooter game.

no, I said (let me rephrase) : they would have to try hard to make it worse than halo 3 [and so, it can only look better than halo 3].
same for sounds, and same for AI.
