I don't understand the complaints about H3 graphics

Ya know, I got bored with Quake 4 though. It became a chore playing the game. I'd force myself to play so that I could finish it and be done with it. But I finally decided that's stupid, a game is for fun. I traded it in. Does Quake 4 have better graphics. Sure. But Halo sure has gorgeous graphics still. And I'm with DonWii and Androo. Color is so much better! I like the vibrant colors as opposed to dark colors and shadow. And what happened to gameplay being the true factor of a better game?

I completely agree that Halo 3 is the better game, in fact I thought I had said that Quake 4 wasn't that good of a game in one of my above posts. I wasn't comparing gameplay or creatures, I was just showing what interesting walls, floors, and ceilings through clever texture use and shapes can do for a space.

-edit-
And I wasn't even looking for the best or even good screenshots like people do when they try to tell me Halo 3 has the best graphics ever, I just google image searched Quake 4 and picked a few random screenshots on the first page.
