Subject: Will Halo Reach have the best graphics ever on the 360?

Is it possible that when Reach is released next year, it will have the best graphics out of any game on the Xbox 360 ever released? You would think that since Halo is Microsoft's number one game franchise, they would have all the resources necessary to make this possible. So, do you think Bungie will be able to push the 360 to it's limits, and blow games like Gears of War 2 and Modern Warfare 2 out of the water? Is it possible that Reach will have the greatest graphics out of any game ever released on the Xbox 360?!

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

Everyone knows the Katamari Damacy games are the most cutting edge in graphics.

It would be pretty hard to top Halo Wars. My God, that game was so beautiful.

Anyway, I have some doubts about Reach, I fear Bungie knows their time is running out, they know this will be their last Halo game, although some think they will put everything they have into it, I can't help but consider the possibility of them just not giving a damn, they may just decide to slap it together and sell it knowing a lot of people will mindlessly buy it, after the outrageous price of ODST, it looks like this could be the case more and more each time I think about it.

Anyway, I know I'll buy it, I'm just a bit shifty as of now.


If they didn't care, why do Bungie and the Staff on this very website go through the trouble of running a dedicated forum AND ban the hell out of people posting about an unproven leak?


If they stopped caring, why are weekly updates still coming in? I don't imagine Urk will get rich off makin em.

Why did they pitch in for Halo:Waypoint? No real money there either if you think about it.

There are a million other thing Bungie would be doing if they got greedy that they aren't doing because they appreciate their fanbase. Reach will be good, it wont be the second coming of the almighty, but no game is.

Expect a great game, receive a great game. Don't hype it beyond common sense and happiness is yours.


Not attacking or arguing with yah br0seph, just putting my thoughts out there for you to read.

I have not heard of Katamari Damacy. I don't play that many games, the only game I am interested in is Halo.

Than you don't deserve your xbox 360 anymore.

Nope, Reach will definatly not have the best graphics on the 360.

Reason 1:
Bungie always uses their own graphics engine that is just not quite on par with the best graphics engines. Halo 3 engine = not as good as Unreal 3 engine.

Reason 2:
Bungie doesn't seem to care about graphics that much. All Halo's had graphics that are just good, nothing special.

Reason 3:
Halo's art style is not meant to look what most people consider the best. Forerunner and Covenant architecture is meanr to be smooth, clean and without a lot of geometry and/or details. People don't look at graphic styles, just at quality of details, from that point of view Halo looks nothing special. To me, Halo 3 for example could have hardly looked better at the time, staying with the style they used.

Personally, I don't think graphics mather to much. I want them to be good, but gameplay is most important. I rather have good gameplay than good graphics. Remember, all those old classic games you play, do you play them for the graphics or because the games are addictive thanks to good gameplay?

  • 11.12.2009 1:12 AM PDT

Honestly, I could care less about that game. I don't have time to sit around and play tons of different games all day for hours. I don't even have xbox live. So excuse me for having a life. If you don't think I deserve the xbox that I bought, I would love to see your nerdy ass try to take it from me.

Cinematics, yes. Gameplay, hell no.

Anyway, I have some doubts about Reach, I fear Bungie knows their time is running out, they know this will be their last Halo game, although some think they will put everything they have into it, I can't help but consider the possibility of them just not giving a damn, they may just decide to slap it together and sell it knowing a lot of people will mindlessly buy it,Pestimistic much? If it is their last Halo game, (Which they haven't confirmed yet, all they have confirmed is that they have no plans as of yet to do another Halo game) they won't just slap something together and sell it. Each one of their games have been good for it's money.

after the outrageous price of ODST, it looks like this could be the case more and more each time I think about it.Outrageous? Hardly. Yes, selling us the same maps we already had is a little ridiculous. For those of us who had all the maps anyways, for those who didn't they had a great buy.

Bungie said that the campaign was going to be very short when first announcing Halo 3: Recon, this is because they had such a small team working on that game that they didn't know what they could accomplish. They accomplished a lot more then they thought and it meritted a 60$ gametag.

But because we all thought it was a tiny expansion to Halo 3, and not a full-fledge game expiernce that it was, a 60$ gametag is thought to be outrageous yes.

Anyway, I know I'll buy it, I'm just a bit shifty as of now.(Y)

You can never be too sure of that, when you say Microsoft people think Halo, I highly doubt that the next xbox won't have any Halo games.

Actually, it is in fact Bungie's last Halo game. That is Bungie itself won't be making anymore, Microsoft of course won't let their flagship franchise die, which is why they created 343 Industries which will make all future halo related games.

Oh no, the "720" WILL have Halo games on it, but perhaps not made by Bungie, but 343 Studios.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

Crysis on PC has the best graphics than any game out there, when cryengine ports for xbox, it will most likely deliver the best graphics.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Life has pretty bad ass graphics if you ask me...

Lack of talent? Does that explain bungies sales records they have broken with halos. not to mention halo 1 and 2 were great graphicaly.

Pretty sure -blam!- of doody modern wankfare 2 didn't live up to it's hype either.




Games only get bigger once they hit a certain point. HCE was so big and amazing that people kept coming back for 3 games trying to find that magic again.

H2, H3 and odst are just failed experiments attempting to capture the HCE Magic. H2 had its own kind of magic about it but not quite as good but unique.


That failed experiment called Halo 3, not only broke sales records, but managed to still give games two years younger a run for their money. Its clear you consider it a fail, but that tends to happen after 14000 matches of any game.

That makes no sense as about 2 million peole play H3 everyday. It is starting to drop since the release of MW2. But before MW2 was released it had been the most played game online for months! God I couldn't keep up how mant times it won the weeks title.

You know your a funny one. Out of all the halos i disliked number 1 the most.

Not everyones the same i prefer faster pace in halo then slow.


It's not about slow paced action. Whilst i wouldn't mind that, it was more the atmosphere, the deep plot, the size of the game and the mystery behind Halo that made Halo: CE the best Halo game.
