Subject: Halo Reach graphics engine....

Will be Bungie's first built from the ground up for the xbox 360, I am sure the Halo 3 engine was based around the Halo 2 engine but improved. If this is the case and Bungie have been working on this engine for more than 2 years, the graphics are going to be off the chart. We will see what the xbox 360 is really capable of, and we only have to wait until the 12th Dec.

Umm no, Halo 3's engine was built from the ground up. It wasn't copied and built from Halo 2's.

We will see what kind of graphics the game has to offer on Dec 12th. Just don't expect MW2, Killzone 2, or Uncharted level of graphics. You don't want to be disapointed.

I honestly just don't think graphics are Bungies strong point.

This will just be a first showing, the game doesn't come out for almost a year. If they look great in the video, imagine what they will look like in Fall. There is no reason to assume that the artists at Bungie aren't equal to if not better than infinity ward's or any other developers.

However i read that an employee of Microsoft wrote a reply to a kid asking for Uncharted 2 graphics for 360, the guy said: "Wait till you see Halo:Reach!"

So, i'ma be hyped!

I don't know if there is confirmation of this, but to me it looks like an improved version of the Halo 2 engine, anyone know? The NPC's in the game look dated compared to the enviroments, which is why I think its based on Halo 2 tech.

  • 11.22.2009 2:15 PM PDT

H2 tech was for Xbox. H3 for 360. It was built ground up. Textures are better, but humans stayed the same.

Bungie can and will give Halo: Reach graphics that are comparable with the best out there for the xbox 360.

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

It feels like people are starting to forget when Halo 3 release, it has gotten so bad people are comparing H3's graphics to that of Gears 2 when in reality it should be compared to the first.

Reach will most likely have amazing graphics, at least up to par with the current generation. I don't see myself being disappointed.

We will see, unfortuantly I wouldn't say this just yet.

Lets wait untill Dec 12th. A trailer, or cinematic won't determine this. So lets hope we can see, somthing worth determining if the game will have good graphics or not.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

The video is a cutscene of some type.

We will get to see the engine if they use it to do cutscenes, they might pre render like Halo Wars.

I've seen games with amazing cutscenes, then come around with horrible graphics.

I've seen this whole argument before too.

__________________________________________________________

July 2005. Bob - Man Halo 3 will have the best graphics of any game ever.

Marley - Yeah man, nothing will be able to compare to them.

2006... Bob - Gears of War has good graphics, but Halo 3's graphics will blow them out of the water.

Marley - Compared to Halo 3's graphics Gears of War will look like a Nintendo game.

2007 Bob - Well the multiplayer is fun.

Marley - Yeah the multiplayer is fun.
_____________________________________________________________

End of story. Short story even shorter the graphics weren't amazing.

Lets wait and see, don't talk about how great somthing is going to be before we even see it.

Those graphics aren't that good, except MW2s. The other ones suck!

It's quite the opposite. MW2s graphics suck hard. They're exactly the same as MWs with very few minor improvements.

Halo kicks @$$

true say, and no one really cares about the grapghics we all love halo for the kick @$$ action!!!

  • 11.22.2009 2:47 PM PDT

Does it really matter? Gameplay > Graphics

  • 11.22.2009 2:51 PM PDT

I heard that Bungie was going to use CryEngine 3 for Halo: Reach.

Me thinks that Reach will kick ass.

MW2 graphics suck hard my ass, have you even played the game? Modern Warfare 2 is close to the best visual first person shooter to date.

If you would please name a few games that have better graphics than it. That are First Person Shooters. I honestly don't think you can name over 3.

Some quality pics from Modern Warfare 2

Halo 3's engine was built from scratch and from what I am aware of so is Reach's.
