Don't you think that halo looks terrible now compared to all of the new technology coming out? For me it's an easy no, but it is looking dated

The graphics are becoming more outdated every time somebody buys a 360.
Halo CE is still a great game...remember: gameplay>graphics.

The graphics may not be that great compared to those of today, but they're still good. And as Maple said, the gameplay more than makes up for it.

It never looked bad, and never will. The bad graphics actually make the game look better . I'm not sure how, but it seems that way.

Ditto. And the Mark V Armour owns the Mark VI. The more militaristic look, the grenade pouches.....mmm.........

Halo CE is ok, it's graphics aren't that great, but it's unique.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

It looks about as Halo 2 with less objects...in lots of areas, it looks nicer. Less cramped, more realistic looking environments, looming buildings, etc.

It looks like crap compared to next gen games, so does Halo 2. Thats a natural thing. Halo: Combat Evolved still has the best gameplay in a game.

Nah, I think the graphics are still pretty great for a 5 year old game :)

I don't think the game will ever look bad and as somebody posted earlier "the game will look better as it ages" is something I do agree with. The games visuals are unique in their own rights because of how simplistic and well done they look. I can be playing Halo 1 and just find myself starring at the scenary instead of fighting the Covenant, lol. I still don't think theres anything quite as satisfying as watching a group of Covenant fly high into the air from a Frag {Which doesn't happen as good in Halo 2 thanks to the weakened explosions...}

Also the size of the levels were gigantic for back when that game came out. I remember back then being simply stunned by the sheer size of the environments and having to squint my eyes to watch a Banshee fly around. I remember the seeing the ice sheet covered ground for the first time and just stopping and starring in awe at the reflection and shinyness of the ice several times and this got me killed in Multiplayer as well... lol.
