Subject: These graphics are amazing!!!

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

No sir. It doesn't look "like real life". We're still a ways off from that.

Hehe, quite the delayed reaction. That is what Halo 3 is going to look like. That was them running the actual engine that will be that game. It looks freakin' AMAZING, but it's not likely to get better. We still cannot produce graphics that look exactly like real-life. We're getting closer though..

I'd go so far as to classify what we've seen in the trailer as "Not Particularly Amazing". It looks good, to be sure, but it isn't mindblowing. COD2 has visuals on par with the Halo Trailer.

The mastercheif looks realistic now but the ground and grass need a little more work to look real.

CoD2 = Halo3 naahh

Sorry, but I do agree, compared to Gears of war, I am a little unimpressed. But taking in to account the size of the cutscene.....

I'm not sure. They don't look how you describe them on my 65" HDTV. Could it be your TV?

...and what do the explosions look like in Halo3 pray-tell? Oh, riiiight. We haven't seen any.

That is one huge cutscene. COD2 looks every bit as good as what we've seen so far for H3. The Gears of War gameplay trailers are far more impressive ... don't get me started.

Also, if you look at the behind the scenes, you'll see an empty area of the landscape with the ships flying...

Look at the textures. NO DETAIL.

ALL HIGH DEF PROGRAMING!!!!

Jesus christ, there is a very damn good chance the gameplay will NOT look as good as the trailer.

The graphics do look amazing and all they showed was the MC walk down the desert.

Anyone that says the graphics were not good is smoking too much .......^_^

As of now nothing compares to this game.....Except for maybe MASS EFFECT..... or Assasins Creed...

Oh, thanks. I didn't see any of that before you pointed it out.

Edit: Don't fret Tartan, we're just discussing the graphics. Everyone is just not quite as impressed as you are. Their engine may well be the be all end all ... but they haven't shown much yet. Gears of War on the other hand, has laid it's cards on the table.

Don't get me wrong, yeah the trailer looks nice, but one thing people need to understand is that the actual game will not look anywhere near as impressive as the trailer. It will look -blam!- great yeah but not as good as the trailer.

okay, evry1 probably trust bungie, but they have said that the trailer uses the in-game engine. or have you not read the faq

COD2 isnt that amazing overall....Except for its Multiplayer.
The graphics remind me of PC graphics, the 360 can do better.
If compared to Halo 3 ....it doesnt even compare only because H3 is visually amazing on all fronts.
