Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

I prefer Halo 3's but I can understand why they changed it and I like the fact that the mood of the game dictates the style of art.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Depends on what object/character/scene, IMO.

Halo 3 just seems too... "cartoony."

Halo: Reach has more of a dark, erie feel to it.

  • 01.26.2012 2:39 PM PDT

Halo 3 took way more skill to use and therefore the art was appreciated more.

Personally i prefer Halo 3's are style but it all just boils down to personal opinion and taste.

Considering I don't see only in black and white, I pick Halo 3.

Neither depict RyanW's mom naked plowing herself with a cobb of uncooked indian corn. So I'm going to have to go with the art stylings of J.R Tolken.


A delightful picture indeed.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

There's something about both that's nice really.

I can't say for sure, the darker look seems more appropriate, but the brightness of halo 3 feels fitting for fantasy future armor-clad spartans/aliens.

BOTH

Halo 3. I would've voted Reach, but Bungie added too much unnecessary destruction.

  • 01.26.2012 3:05 PM PDT

Hi.

What do you mean by "destruction"?

Halo 3's by a mile.

Halo: Reach has better graphics, that's a fact.
But... I definitely prefer the art style of Halo 3. It was brighter, more colorful... just had a better feel to it. I get what Bungie was going for, and their logic is sound.

It just... doesn't appeal as much regardless.

  • 01.26.2012 3:29 PM PDT

wow halo reach is STILL BAD!!!

i think reach has better resolution but halo 3 definitely has better visuals. just play on zanzibar and you will see.

Aesthetics is an art, your body is the canvas, weights are your brush and nutrition is your paint. We all have the ability to turn a self portrait into a masterpiece

H3. Everything seemed new and efficient, while reach everything seems worn down and falling apart.

  • 01.26.2012 5:00 PM PDT

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

Everything in Reach is grey or some ugly shade of rust-brown.

At least H3 had variety in it's color palette.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

I actually wanted a gritty Halo. Reach, however, is just boring and bland.

Reach was a flop in basically every aspect.

Last member of the i4Ni clan.

h3 was vibrant, but reach graphics are undeniably better and sharper.

also, I like how the halo reach pictures are smaller res and extremely blurry, while the h3 pictures are sharp or from bungie-released shots.

I thought that was funny as well.
