I don't want to turn this into a Killzone vs. Halo thread, because that's not what it was made for (and there are a lot more fanboys for Halo than there are for Killzone). However, despite the large maps and vehicle combat (which btw, adding vehicles has very little effect on overall graphics, it really just effects gameplay), it doesn't change the fact that the technical detail (graphics) put into the game, in my opinion, may not be on par with Killzone or Uncharted.

Just because a game has scale, doesn't mean it has decent tech behind it. All we can do though, is wait and see. Everything at this point is simply based on assumptions, and until the final product is released, we won't know how the game's going to play out. While many are hyping this game to AAAAE status, I'll remain skeptical. Most people with high expectations may be disappointed, while other who are skeptical could be in for a fun surprised. I'd rather be the latter.

Here's the thing... The smaller the game space the more assets can be put into that space. The bigger the space... The less you can do.

It all effects graphics. The bigger the maps... The less detail.

really excited for this. If they do show real in game footage and not CGI like they said then that would be awesome.

Gta3-fan334

Halo maps always have been large in scale. Who knows how big Reach will be... Maybe it will be the same size as Halo 3 or smaller? I don't know.

But I do know... That the smaller the environment... The more detail you can put into it... Because you free up more assets with a smaller space.

It's really not rocket science.

...and after watching the VGA's, I can see my assumptions are becoming more correct. Reach looks like a slightlybetter visual package than ODST based on what was shown.

Looked much much better than the last two games, but I was watching on a crappy ustream feed. I won't make any assumptions until I can watch an hd version on gametrailers.

Agreed. Graphically it looks amazing, there's nothing better looking on the 360. Seriously looking forward to seeing more on this game. Graphics is not even that important to me, so having such amazing visuals is just like a nice extra.

I like how the game obviously looks pretty good, they said it was all in engine...Which is what they said about the first uncharted 2 trailer..And I was impressed with both so...

Loved it, loved everything it's got going on! :P

More Spartans, greater detail in their armor and immersive take on UNSC tech and the graphics are just stunning. But really the icing on the cake was that snarling Elite at the end. It's good to see the anti-Spartans returning to their original role- as the definition of a worthy foe. They made great opponents in Halo C.E and Halo 2, and whilst I found playing as them and teaming with them at Two's conclusion entertaining I found that their place in Halo 3 didn't do them justice, plus their criminal absence from ODST brought my eager bloodlust to the boiling point.

Don't get me wrong, the Brutes filled their hole nicely and I'm a fan of the planet of the apes/Wookie love child...But nothing tops an Elite in a sci-fi battlefeild. Cunning, daring and damnably cool! :D

Going by the books, Reach was the first time Elites entered the battlefield. It should be interesting to see how well they will be introduced.

It looked great, it really did. Better than KZ2? From what I saw I'd say it looks pretty on-par, in fact I was reminded of it a little, but of course we'll have to wait for some actual gameplay to make that judgement. My only dissapointment is that we didn't get ot see the needler-carbine in action :(.

Video looked awsome. I dont thinka Halo preview would be complete with out some ps3 fanboys to bash it to hell. And the contradicting CGI-graphics look terrible arguments just make it that more great.

Halo reach is about Jai-006 from gray team.

If you read the Halo books you'll know who this is and from the trailer it esay to tell. Grey team is a group made of 3 Spartans who where train to fight
independently from the others due being loners.

The Spartan that got off the wort hog was only wearing grey for one and the other Spartans called him a lone wolf.

So no more master cheif.....

So we trade one guy who doesn't talk enough for another guy who doesn't talk enough but has issues.....

Darn it, just show some gameplay.

Cole Protocol was before Reach so anything between the two can happen. Also, reach (the book) only followed MC and his group, not all the Spartans, he also has no command over grey team.

The trailer looks great and I've wanted to play that story since Halo 1. I've always wanted them to do something based on Reach so I'm very excited. Not to mention graphically it looks to be quite the step up from Halo 3.

Even if Halo Reach graphics were 10-15% below the competition, considering ever single other aspect of the game tends to be superior, its just a flat out better game... amazing attention to detail and character design, as well as the back story makes this awesome.
