I'm totally confused by the people who claim Halo looks better than this or that. What are you basing it on? All we've seen is the trailer and the trailer doesn't support your claims.

What, specifically in the trailer was so darned impressive?

1. Textures: good. Like most 360 games.
2. Draw distance: Far, but not that impressive considering there isn't much on the screen.
3. Reflections and lighting: Very nice. No complaints here.
4. Particle effects: All we've seen is dust and a beam of light.
5. animation: Not much to go on ... but it doesn't look motion captured.

So what is it?

Don't forget what Frankie said, they are saving a lot of geometry for something else. They aren't going to pack every character with tons of polygons, instead, they will probably increase the number of characters on screen by an exceptional amount, or include mindblowing effects (smoke from trailer was ridiculously better than anything from CoD2), HDR lighting, explosions, and other aesthetic effects.

You've gotta be joking about the dust from the trailer beating out anything from COD2. You must be blinded by your Halo love ;)

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

You Are an Idiot

ALL HIGH DEF PROGRAMING!!!!

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


They use the in-game engine, It will look like that.

Meh, Halo 3's graphics ARE good, but I'd expect more from a Xbox 360.They basically look like Halo 2's graphics with a few lighting effects added in and slightly higher resolution textures.

ya, its hard to believe...

in just a couple years we went from playing donky kong on super nintendo to killing covenant on a xbox 360 !


and whoever said that the graphics wont look like that in in game play, your wrong because bungie clearly said that that is what the game is going to look like while your killing covies.

Are you guys nuts or what go back and watch it again look at the details how the light bounces of everything including his armour, the reflections, the gouges out of his suit and bullet holes with paint scrapes, the land which is miles and miles long if you dont think thats good which is just the start of the game things will improve then your pretty thick.

I never said the visuals were sub-par. I'm just saying that from what they've shown, they haven't pulled that far ahead of current gen games. There's lots of development time left. They'll get it together.

1. The lighting is great.
2. The textures are good (far too shiny for a battleworn suit)
3. The draw distance was long, but there's not much geometry there.

Its true compared to Gears of War it doesn't compare. Bungie stated that they had to make up the scenerio in the trailer and that they didn't want to "wow" the crowd like they did with the Halo 2 teaser trailer. Just show what they have in the game not what they want in the game.

clearly this is a hardware difference....if u dont have a nice enough monitor or flatscreen lcd screen then you cant view the trailer in high enough definition to fully appreciate it.

It will no doubt look as good or better then call of duty 2. Dont be blinded by ur sub par apple monitor that was made in 1989. Go to bestbuy and look at the trailer on a 32 inch flat panel...u will not be thinking "hey this is just like halo 2"

cuz it isnt...it isnt quite dead or alive 4, or Dead or alive 3 for that matter but its Nuckin Fice

haha

I watch it on a 65" widescreen 1080i HDTV. No problems there.
