lol yea, i just wish the media wasnt so one sided, its rough.

 Well lots of things are made up in movies for entertainment. Some happen to be right. Watch Mythbusters.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

All these are from in game. Using theatre mode from campaign levels.

Is that ok mike b?

Very impressive game graphically is Halo 3.


A couple of pics to put yours to shame...

How many characters did you say Halo 3 had on screen at once? 50 at most?

Here's a pic for draw distance...

And here's a pic showing both draw distance and a high number of enemies on screen...

I'm not sure why those last three pics are so blurry. GS usually has pretty crappy screen shots, though. I mean, just look how blurry the words are on the second pic.


These pics look knowhere near as good. Or are you blind.

Also HS has collective A.I. The same as Ninety nine Knights did. Halo 3 has unique A.I for every enemy and character. That is so much more impressive. And in Halo 3 it feels like they think. HS feels like hacking at trees. no comparrison.

The first screenshot doesn't seem like a long draw distance at all. The third one does if the plumes of smoke (or tonados?) in the distance is geometry. The spacecraft dots would certainly benefit from higher resolution.

I like the last pic best, but I think the XBox 360 is powerful enough to handle this game at 720p, maybe even at 60 FPS.

Everything in Halo 3 from near to far has geometry in it. there are no tricks.

Also the waterfall pic the first 1. It's the most spectacular thing I've seen in a game yet. Moving it's amazing. you fight a massive scarab in front of it as well as the usual 50 other enemies trying to kill you. Awsome.

Even so, the worlds look absolutely bare. And very low ply count.
