I'm sorry, but is this a serious question?
Only 12 year old graphics whores would pick graphics over gameplay, there is so much more to a game than just looking pretty.
i must say that i am a graphics whore, not just because i like pretty pictures but im into the technical side of this, i love seeing new types of rendering techniques and seeing how designers have found ways to make different things happen
p.s im not 12 but 20, and with all that said i still dont buy games just because they are pretty, but i am just really interested in graphical design
As am I, except I'm interested in the modelling and texturing more than the lighting or animations. That said, none of that would be important if the game played badly, because no amount of shininess and high detailed stuff can make up for badly made gameplay.
Have good gameplay, THEN focus on the graphics. Otherwise (and I'm sorry to bring this up, but it's true) you end up with MW2's campaign - It LOOKS really good, but the replay value is very little and the enemies always do the same things.
i think its pretty safe to say that wont happen in halo reach, the COD games have always been really scripted, that works very well for the first time you play it because lots of cool stuff can happen but yeah reply value is really hit hard. halo has always been about walking into a encounter space that is pretty unscripted and the AI is free to move around anywhere in that space, this can be harder to make fun but the reply is a lot higher because it can play out different each time.
yeah i know this kinda went off topic a bit :)
