Halo 3, the truth about the games length!

LMAO 1080p on dvd?? hahahaha!!

On topic: If the game were to be 1080p and 60fps the length would drop from 9 hours to 6 hours, 1080p takes nearly double the space that 720p does. 9 hours isnt short in my opinion.

Leo... You don't really have any idea how rendered graphics work, do you? Higher resolution pre-rendered stuff takes more space... If cut scenes and such are rendered on the fly, there really isn't much difference in the amount of space on disk a "1080P" and a "720P" game take up. I don't know how much pre-rendered CGI there is in Halo but I'm guessing it is about zero... Go do a little reading on texture mapping, polygons, and rendering of vector graphics in general and you might feel compelled to come back and edit this post.

 

Oh, and about the length... I'm a "casual" for the most part.  I tend to take my time, I'm careful about rushing into each new area without surveying the area, looking for cover, places to snipe from, etc., and hence I tend to take a LOT longer to finish games than the pro reviewers do...  It took me about twice as long, for instance, to finish Halo 2 as the reviews said it would and I just played on normal...  If the reviews tell me it is going to take 10 hours to finish, I know I can just about double that for the single player campaign.  After about 20 hours of the same campaign, I'm ready to move on....
