Overdone bloom doesn't constitute great lighting.

Even S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has better lighting/shadowing than Halo 3.

The lighting is good because Bungie used two (forget the name) 640p thingies. They did it for the lighting.

the lack of AA and overdone bloom is EPIC!

halo 3 is a graphical masterpiece!

The overdone bloom lighting in Halo is almost as bad as Oblivion's.

I like to see where my characters are thank you.

I think Halo 3 had some of the best effects overall this generation. The water effects were great, the lighting was good and the physics engine was awesome. I still remember the first time I had rockets redirected off course due to an explosion, it was the one of the coolest things I've seen in a game.

you forgot to say "lack of". there is no denying that halo3's lighting is great, some of the best, and gives it an awesome alieny-scifi feel to the game.

Frame buffers you mean? The lighting was decent, though all that use of the bloom effect was simply unnecessary.

That's your exact post in every thread that says a console has a good-looking game. Bias much? Definitely. I have at least played many PC games, and console games, you on the other hand, doubtfully have. I think that doesn't give you much in the way of room to talk.

Ok I just went back and beat Halo 3 on legendary and I gotta tell you, I forgot just how colorful and fun that game is. I've played A LOT of FPS's too. I would hardly consider Halo 3 generic, or a game with bad graphics.

Good call. We as cows must bank on future games to try and beat an older game of our increasingly-powerful competition.

Why does everyone complain about the bloom? It's only noticably overused for metallic objects, which should be really shiny if there is a lot of light.

Why give credit? It is a major exclusive and has bad graphics. Halo 3 has more jagged edges then a chainsaw.

First of all, how do you know that I don't have a Wii?

Second of all sarcasm can cause global warming, so watch out.

Third of all, I wish you the best, my friend, when your personal hygiene and actual life go out the window when you are trying to get a level 20 in your game by beating other games. I try to find some fun in video games and I think that these trophies are going one step too far. I pity the cow that cannot take a step back, look at how devoted they are to a trphey system and be satisfied with their life. If you are one who has enough time to continue an RPG in an RPG, so be it, but I personally have more to live for than a level that will be irrelevant in 5 years.

Overdone bloom doesn't constitute great lighting.

Even S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has better lighting/shadowing than Halo 3.

Velocitas8

overdone how, last I checked a half decently bright light source bouncing off metal was fairly blinding.

Im not arguing Stalker which is a freaking awesome looking game. But honestly, Halo 3 has some of the best lighting on a console as of now...and id rate it top 10 on any platform.

and it was already shown, but it shows the awesome lighting...

Halo 3's visuals are well done.... Best lighting this gen... I would say absolutely not. Call of Duty 4? Killzone 2? Uncharted?

Lighting isn't just how much a game burns your eyes out with bloom. Lighting is about the way the lights are set up, how the shadows fall, how detailed they are. It's about how well it is used in game to create the disired effects and moods. Halo 3 does not take that crown. I don't even need pictures to backup my statements, you already know they are true.

*insert* Crysis, World in Conflict, STALKER screens.

It looks nice, but its nothing drop dead amazing. The Lighting is what stops Halo 3s visuals from being average.
