i agree the beat didn't impress me. but keep in mind it is a beta and certainly not the finished product.  there is still some polishing and changes they can do before the release

You need to see it in full HD to enjoy the quality of this game a 2Inch 180 x 350 image isn't going to look much different from Halo 2. Gears didn't look good to me at all until I saw it in action.

I was thinking the same thing man.  It doesn't look all that much better than the first and second games.  To tell the truth I'm not looking forward to it that much.  I've never really been a Halo fan.  But yeah, bring on UT3!!  After what epic did with Gears I'm looking mighty forward to UT3.

whatever i could care less about the graphics really. if the gameplay is good which it does look good then that's all that matters.

Lol, I had the exact opposite reaction. I watched the video, and noticed so many upgrades. -No more body glitches (floating/spazzing bodies plagued halo 2) -Large graphical upgrade (if you say otherwise, you are definitaly mistaken) -New HUD style -New weapons -New vehicles -New surroundings (shield walls, man cannons, etc) At times, it seems like a huge difference

watch the 4th gameplay vid, in the bottom middle it says "public beta" and you can barely even make it out

 

wow EDIT: it says beta BUILD

 

even in full screen i cant read it, and you expect to see bump mapping?

The game looks a whole lot improved from Halo 2. You just can't help but laugh at these threads that say stuff like the game is hardly upgraded when they themselves have not even played it yet.

Here is something you guys need to see.

 

Here is the halo 3 Beta

And here is the Halo 2 Beta

Now tell me how do the beta's look. I think they do not look the same. I think Halo 3 looks alot Better for a Beta.

 

Halo 3 looks amzaing for a Beta

And when they show the finished product. The game is going to look alot Better then any game you have ever seen on the 360.

 

So plz do not talk crapp about Halo 3 it looks amzaing for a Beta.

i dont know if it will be the BEST, as its one of those games with big environments with dozens of people roaming everywhere blowing everything to s***, generally that type of game requires a slight graphical decrease, or at least a frame rate decrease like halo1.

You know gamespot may give it a 9.6 but with not a 9.6, they may give it a 9.7.

So I am going to have to say between a 9.6 or a 9.7.

minor upgrades in what terms? in graphics or gameplay?

Graphics--> there's a a noticeable upgrade in the graphics. Not incredibly mind-blowing, but great textures and models. One things that I like is the new visors in the Spartans.

Gameplay--> well...how more can you change it? its a FPS. Sure, they can add more weapons and features but in the end, you'll get old-fashion, Halo FPS gameplay (which I love)

This sounds funny, but one of the things I was most impressed with in the Beta video was the fact that grenades don't just bounce all over the place. In the snow level, when the grenade hit the snow it looked like it got partially burried, and made a sound that I would associate with a grenade hitting the snow. It seems like grenades will have physics based on the envirement, and the reason that makes me happy is because if the physics on the grenades are that realistic, I'm sure the rest of the game will follow and be more realistic too..... That's what I'm looking forward to,

to me it looks amazing. i think you guys need to learn a couple things about graphics before you say anything. These new videos blew my expectations out of the water

 

wow im really surprised at how many people didn't like the graphics. To me the textures were on par with crysis. It just doesn't have nearly as many things on screen.

yeah i couldnt believe it but i actually got bored watching the halo 3 beta because there was soo little action on screen. all i really looked at was the man cannon and at the spikers (which i thought were really lame). i hope that the game eventually gets more action or i will frankly be very bored with it.

Whoo! Ok, anyway, so as I was saying. With the graphics. If you don't notice a difference between the two, then go back and play halo 2, then rewatch the gameplay movies. You will then see a diference. I also cannot believe what they had done with the HUD. It looks so much more organized than the other 2, its amazing.

It won't look too much better but this is for multiplayer, single player should look better as unless you want to wait along time then hit lag central, the graphics have to be toned down for online as the data is being streamed.
