ii doesnt look like a graphics king, but thats fine with me. As long as the graphics are nice enough to watch im good with it, im not a huge graphics stickler (their just a nice addition). I just like the artstyle and stuff. im really excited for this, just hope they really take their time and make it good, not just rush to make a generic game they know will sell somewhat due to the Halo name.

Hyped to be by over anxious fanboys who fail to realize that when you are rendering such larger scale battles and environments --- you have to cut back in certain areas.

I'm interested to see how a Spartan III plays out because apparently they're more weaker (They use SPI armour instead of Mjolnir armour) and relys more on teamwork and more tactical approach. Hope it doesn't turn out like how ODST did with it just being a carbon copy of Halo 1's system.

And people said it was going to blow Uncharted 2's graphics out of the water. :P

Funny stuff.

awssk8er716

I doubt anyone has said that but its still more impressive than Uncharted 2 in my opinion. Remember Halo isn't some linear corridor crawler like Killzone 2, Gears of War and Uncharted. It will have seamless vast environments. The character models look more detail in terms of textures relative to Uncharted 2's character textures. But you can tell that Uncharted 2's character models of more polygons.

The "more weaker" aspect of the Spartan IIIs is demonstrated by the health system. So no worries.

Remember the Equipment in Halo 3? Bubble Shields, Power Drainers, Regenerator? Well they are now pick ups that recharge and are (as far as I understand it to be) they appear on your armor. Thus Bungie and Game Informer stating you have control over customization of your armor in the campaign.

That clear things up at all?

Possibly a handful of lemmings using the game as fodder for some arguement. But that's nothing. There were once a few jaded cows saying it looked like Halo 1 of all things. :rolls:

Honestly, that wasn't that impressive, the environment looks flat. I have seen impressive vids of KZ2 though but again it doesn't blow everything on the X360 away.

Corridor Crawler or not -- Halo: Reach will have massive battles of 60+ enemies and vehicles inside of a massive environment.

Relatively speaking... Killzone 2 has lots of pre-rendered background effects that are just there.

Halo 3 scale > anything on consoles.
