Subject: New Wallpaper problem...

The MC's visor isn't reflective. It's the "old" Halo 2 styled visor. Plain and gold. So in the final version of Halo 3, are we expected to see a reflective visor (i know the 360 can pull this off without a sweat) or a gold and bland visor?

Well... there's not much to reflect, since it's a wallpaper. He's facing your screen, and you don't know exactly what he's looking at.

Unless you have a 2 inch monitor you will notice that it is reflective... It is so cool because you can notice some easter eggs in the visor.

Wow why do you care we will only get to see it in Cutscenes and Multiplayer and what do you want to look in his visor for?

NM, this is the part of the trailer where the MC is walking towards the camera from a distance with the AR on his shoulder. I guess its reflective then, doesn't really look like it though

Hey kid, don't get an attitude with me. This isn't Halo 2's online mp... It's called graphics. It would be kind of lame to see that the MC's visor is like the one in Halo 2, goldish and nonreflective. Especially when its on the 360, a very powerful machine

I don't think so: http://me.thegroupofthey.com/gfx/reflect.jpg
[Edit:]
And curse my quick photoediting, if you want to call it that. It's not a dropship either. Capital ship, rather. And clearly below it, is an uh... 'Ark Shaped Thing' or something like that. Unelss the sand is black. Or something.

Symantecs, I applogize.

Holy crap people! I'm sorry, but seriously... it's a frikken wallpaper image!! I'm sure Bungie has many more things to worry about that whether MC's visor is reflective in an image!

Could we all maybe calm down and stop going nuts over evey little thing?

It is reflective. Nothing to go nuts over.

Good point.

But I do hope that they have a real reflected visor. That would be sick!

That's not what I was talking about. People are going nuts over what Cortana said, why she sounds wierd, what will be in the game... and now we've got a topic arguing about whether MC's visor has a reflection in a wallpaper image! Seriously, can we let Bungie do their jobs instead of constantly pointing out simple (alleged) flaws or ideas that have been mentioned millions of times already?
