Have u guys noticed how crappy HALO 3s graphics is. it looks like Halo 2
 
You must be talking about the beta?

The graphics are being reported as very good, not fantastic mind blowing graphics but still much better than Halo 2...
 
If you've played the beta then you would not really say that. ;)

I suppose you are simply trying to create flame bait? Doobi is best at that so please leave this to the masters. :p
 
The Beta's graphics were good but they really did need more polishing... but being a Beta and all I think that is fair :D
 
Consider the Beta was a multiplayer component of the game, and in order to reduce strain most games reduce the graphics quality in their MP aspect.
 
It really depends on the clips you've seen.

So far there have been no "eye candy" clips from Bungie themselves. But if you grab some of the GC clips there's some really awesome stuff. There's a couple things to remember, like what you're actually looking at.

It's easy to say "looks like halo 2" because the characters haven't really changed (it starts a few days after halo 2, it'd be really odd if suddenly everyone was in totally different armor ;) ) It's also difficult to compare directly with Gears or Killzone because the nature of the fights are different. Gears and Killzone have 4 guys against never more than 6-7 guys at a time in little narrow environments. Halo is 4 guys against dozens of enemies on huge open spaces with vehicles.

Keeping that in mind, go have a look at Gametrailers, some of the GC clips, and there's a really nice "omegathon" clip from PAX "t_halo3_pax07_omegathon_round1_gp_gt_h264.wmv"

It's about 120mb - the video quality isn't great but you can see the effects and some of the weapons. There's an awesome over the shoulder MP clip from GC over on IGN as well, have a look at this:

Look at the self shadowing on the weapons and vehicles, atmospheric particle effect, bloom, ambient lighting. Personally I think it looks awesome, but it's not trying to sell itself on graphics. The got me when they said the hornet will be available on Sandtrap . . .
 
I need to get an XBox soon and then Halo 3.

I can't let Master Chief down!! I just wont let it happen again!!

A Hero never dies!!! :cool:

I haven't even played Halo 2 yet :p
 
AR - check out the Incredible connection special from the 6-9th. Buy a Pro @R3699 and get Gears, Forza and Crackdown bundled with it.

not incredible corruption. they have crap service, their salesman say "uh" too many times when asked a question, their prices are corrupt but this one doesnt seem so bad :rolleyes:
 
My dad got his from IC and unfortunately it died. However the salesman was very good when he took it in to be replaced and they seemed knowledgable enough...

I mean you are walking in, picking the bundle off the shelf and walking out.,, It's not like you need support ;)
 
I've got xbox 1 and halo 2, best game ever! So I have to get the Xbox 360 for Halo 3. But Im holding out though, hoping that there will be a Xbox 360 + Halo 2 special somewhere out there .... :)
 
I just don't see anyone beating the IC special at the moment....

I would recommend buying that and pre-ordering Halo 3
