@gino_pachino I dont know where this idea comes from that it has to be one or the other. You can have both great graphics and gameplay in the same game, and with the amount of time they've been working on this, they've certainly had more than enough time. It was their choice and they weren't making a comprimise, so no need to defend them.
Now that I think about it, why does this even matter? Reach is a far superior game IMO. I know fanboys will give me thumbs down for this, but Halo 3 Singleplayer was very boring and easily the worst of the bunch.
Halo Reach looks very slightly better mainly because the devs were smart about designing. The halo 3 weapons are a bit rounder which makes the blockiness a little more visible. To combat this, the Halo Reach weapons are just a tad more flat and rectangular.
