Your friend is obviously a mindless Halo fanboy. COD4's graphics runs laps around Halo. I was amazed in the beginning of the game when you are being carried to your execution and the old guy stares in your face... OMG, that was the most realistic character model I had ever seen. You could see the little hairs on his head, all the wrinkles and imperfections in his face, as well as the sweat dripping down.

You cant be serious, COD 4 kills Halo 3's graphics. Halo 3's are almost on Xbox 1 level.

I love CoD4 a whole lot more than Halo 3, but I think Halo 3's graphics are better. I think you guys who are saying CoD4 has better graphics are kind of just leaning towards it because of the postprocessing stuff like DOF, which isn't really reflective of graphical quality. That should be determined by things like how high resolution the textures are, how good the lighting is, and how high polygon the models are, all areas that Halo 3 excels in. In fact, some of the textures in CoD4 are really bad, like the Uzi.

cod4 by far. cod4 uses bloom lighting, halo 3 doesn't...xkojimax

Uh.. do you even know what Bloom is? But you're right, Halo 3 doesn't use Bloom; it uses HDR.

But anyway, it doesn't even matter. They're both on par with each other, they both look great, so who gives a **** Really.

you all must be joking, Halo 3 looks much better then CoD 4, the ONE thing CoD has over Halo is the Models

the Textures, Lighting and Post Effects in Halo 3 Kill CoD

you guys (gals?) are just going off of hype, I don't even own Halo 3 and I know it's the beter of the two

don't get me wrong, CoD4 is a great game, I own it on PS3, andhave played it on PC with full settings (no AA)
it just doesn't look all that great

yes, I may not own Halo 3, but I did rent it, and it looked fantastic
I own CoD4, and don't think it looks all that hot

and who are you to say my opinion doesn't matter?

what is it exactly that makes you think CoD looks so superior to Halo 3?

For the topic creator, tis must be the stupidest topic up right now. The IS NO comparison. Halo's graphics suck compared to COD4.

For the dude I just quoted....if you compare the graphics to other games that use a similar graphic style to Halo....Halo's graphics are NOTHING impressive.

I love Halo 3....but it isnt eye candy at all. The only map that caught my eye was Snowbound, in full High Definition. Seeing your dead body on the crisp, glistening snow looked very very good.

every single model except Master Chief and the Arbiter look unpolished and bad. Halo 3's graphics have NOTHING on COD4. Just read the reviews about the graphics of both games.

On the other hand...the water effects in BIOSHOCK are truely amazing and pwn any other game's water effects in video game history

and I said that CoD had better models, look on Page 2, it's there

what Halo DOES have over CoD is the Textures, Post effects, and the scenery in general

but I will hand it to Infinity Ward for making the Quake 3 engine shine like this, it's HIGHLY modified, but it's still the Q3 engine

I would pick COD4 over Halo 2.1 any day.:)

Not to mention, COD4 is a much better game. Halo is for modernized Star Trek geeks..haha

I would say COD4. run at mostly consistent at 60 fps, and looks great in most levels. And these HDR lighting makes the game very photorealistic looking.

Halo 3 for me is good, but some levels are not so good IMO. Especially for the day light, outdoors & forest. But if you play the level that had to find cortana and killing flood creature, it have breathtaking visuals.

COD4 owns Halo 3 anyday.. I own both games and I can say that COD 4's graphics are superior... The gameplay in COD4 are insane while in Halo 3 is kinda like scripted but still I like the story... COD4 is more realistic than Halo 3 in terms of graphics.. Halo 3's graphics are just like a modified graphics engine of Halo 2... I like the lighting effects in Halo 3 though...

COD 4 wins Realistic Graphics

Halo 3 wins Artistic Graphics.

I much prefer more realistic looking games so i chose COD 4 but both are decent games

Call of Duty 4 has better graphics, but it's supposed to.


Call of Duty 4 is supposed to look realistic. Halo 3 has it's own graphical intents. It's not trying to look realistic. Therefore, Call of Duty 4 has better graphics (if by better you mean more true to life or photo-realistic.)

Halo 3 was in my opinion over hyped. I did enjoy playing it for the time I had it, but the game play just didnt have as much to offer as COD 4. I've only owned COD 4 for a few weeks now, and I seriously feel bad that I did not buy it when it first came out in November.

Graphics for COD 4 are much better than Halo 3. I also like the way multiplayer is set up much better. I would rather choose my own game type. Rather than be thrown into one randomly.

The only things from Halo 3 that I really wish COD 4 had was the co-op option. And the ability to make videos of gameplay. Other than that I believe COD 4 is better than Halo 3 in all areas.

Is it really? I havent had a chance to play it due to my crappy PC. But the graphics look great. Is it true you can saw down trees with guns in that game?

Are you guys kidding ? I throw up in my mouth a little bit everytime I'm up close to a wall in CoD4. Some of the textures are just horrible. In the right light, from the right angle.....CoD4 can look pretty good but Halo 3 is much more polished, the first level drops my jaw every time. I can't see any noticeable difference between CoD2 and CoD4.

You should see Mass Effect facial models, they are much better than COD4
