The strong point of Halo 3 lighting is in the effects you can create with the in-game items, such as plasma grenades, power drainers and the latest effect bubbles you can place in the game to change the look of it. Here's a pic I took in game when I was forging a map variant of Ghost Town.

I suggest you watch the halo 3 intro, a perfect example of it's lighting.

Watch the whole thing...

anyone that denies that is simply a fanboy, or just ignorant.

I assume you meant on consoles. The obvious winner is Crysis,but another game with better lighting is Stalker.

My favorite this gen, total game package - Halo 3 - so easy on the eyes with vibrancy & color.

Not the best " technically " but for me, the best looking game this gen.when measured against all Bungie stuffed into this game.

:P Agreed. There were many times going threw the campaign where I just went :shock: due to the graphics.It's not the best,but the graphics are definately uderreated. :) It's nice that Halo has it's own look and isn't just gray and brown like every other modern day shooter.

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

Good call. We as lemmings must hide and cower in fear of the ps3's imcoming library. They took our live advantage! but they will never take our gamer points! *oh wait they already did* were done for! Run!

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.

Where did u pull this wii theory out of? Ive said nothing about the Wii.

I don't care about trophy's, achievements, nor do I even know what your talking about :lol: how do I get lvl 20 in games ROFL! LOOKIE HEAR GUYS I GOTS NARUKU TO LVL 20! I TAKE THE INTERNETS SRSLY, IM CALLING THE INTERNET PATROL! BTW im no cow either....ive got all the systems except for the wii because I sold that junk btw.

As for the Wii, you took a jab at lemmings so I was just saying that what if I was more of a Wii-suporter.

As for the level it was just included in the next PS3 update because you obviously love the system.

And a little side note, the fact that Gears of War (2006) is being compared to the "XBOX killer" MGS4 sums up how lethal the PS3 lineup is going to be.

quicklyquicklyquickly... SAY "ON CONSOLES" before someone with specs in his sig comes!!!!!!!!crunchUK

hahaha so true.

anyways, the best lighting? hardly. good lighting? yup.

i always liked halo 3's graphics. while not something to WOW about. if you look closely, everything is nicely detailed and textured..unlike Call of Duty 4 which is the opposite. Everything is nice and pretty until you look closer and you begin to see all the pixels and jagged edges..

Yeah, It was pretty striking at times. I thought the bloom was laid on a bit thick in sections, though.

Halo 3 has the most under rated graphics of any game this gen. The textures are second to none (for a console game). It's just a shame that they had to lower the resolution to make the lighting engine work, as the jaggies really are the only flaw which brings the presentation down.

Crysis destroys everything. I dont know why posters dont just put a disclaimer in any future graphical comparisons acknowledging that Crysis obviously wins.

While Halo 3 isn't the most graphically impressive game, the lighting here doesn't look that particulalry impressive tbh.

Crytek found one of the secrets to photo realism is not just textures, normal maps and polygons but lighting. Lighting plays a big part in photo-realism so their updated Cryengine 2 comes with improved lighting.

This new lighting is one of the many improvements that will contribute towards Crysis: Warhead. So when people ask which game has the best lighting, I expect it will be this one.

Halo 3 DOES have the best lighting on consoles as of now.

FACT.

Look it up. :] I read about it somewhere..Cant remember where, but only Crysis and Halo 3 are using this high of quality lighting.

EDIT: Stalker has sexier shadows, lighting? Not so much.

EDIT: I think Halo 3 would look graphically better then Crysis, if both were running AAx4 with AAx16 at 1440x900 (my monitor's res :])

Its one of the best looking games this gen with the lighting, special effects, and oustanding textures. The only complain is that its not even 720p, which is fine by me it looks good enough.

Just goes to show why it is so difficult to get into console users heads how high end Crysis is, they have no idea what they are looking at.

lol, its funny you say that. But I am more of a hermit then lemming. :shock:

I didnt find Crysis that impressive. (Only played on medium settings, x850xt ftl.)

But Crysis doesnt look that polished, compared to some games like HL2:EP2, and Bioshock. (its graphically better then both)

But it isnt nearly as polished and nice to look at. Ive watched videos, still doesnt do it for me.:?

And most graphis cards can hardly run the game with AAx2, high, at 1440x900 at a frame rate greater then 25.

(forget AAx4 and very High)

I just love Halo's art style, and think it would look stunning with some AAx4,AFx16 with higher res.

x850xt...

Jamiemydearx3 is basing his impressions of Crysis on video footage and a x850xt? You are making judgements on Crysis performance with this as your background experience?

Dude, these are still images. It doesnt look like that in the game. Not even close. Even a game running at full 1080p wont even look that good. Mind you, Halo 3 doesnt even run at 720p. You're misinterpreting still images and real in-game visuals. They do not look the same, not even close.
