This seems familiar...
Oh well. I like the artwork and color pallet of H3 better than reach, but understand that reach has better graphics. Fact.Not during split-screen :)Well in split screen the graphics are still just as good. But, well, OK here's the deal with that:
I was involved in a lesser team whose responsibility was to get custom maps into MatchMaking. And one of the BIGGEST problems we had was regarding splitscreen. See, the game can run a lot of things fine. Reach is really detailed though so it pushes the system. When you do splitscreen? Your TV and the Xbox have to render DOUBLE what it was before. Add another player? And another? Oh man. That's why there's a limit of 2 people an Xbox most of the time (if not all?). Framerate falls tremendously at that point.
It's even a problem in Campaign and Bungie's own maps. It's the reason so many maps were rejected from MM too. A map can be fun but if it doesn't run in Splitscreen, it was most likely cut immediately until changes were made. Brutal process.
But yeah. The graphics were fine. Framerate failed. Hard.
