I didn't notice.  Let me say this, though:  The graphics weren't the end all/be all that I expected.  I was far from blown away but I only logged in an hour.  I expect things to pick up, soon enough.  The immersive music I expect from a Halo wasn't there just yet, either.  I did see it pause for a milli-second when the game "Reach"-ed chech points but no.  Never saw the frame rate chug.  I install every game I play so maybe that's the reason.  I dunno.

Like I posted elsewhere, the game hasn't hooked me just yet (keep in mind I'm not a big FPS fan and the only reason I got it on day one is because my co-op partner got it on day one) but I can recognize quality when I see it.  This game oozes quality.  But if it has frame issues, then so be it.  "It is what it is."


I'm just curious as to why you would expect that from Halo. Even the serious fanboys know that graphics aren't Halo's strength. I know your boy Selnor likes to go off about how impressive the engine is and all but I don't really ever remember hearing anyone say any dumb shit like Halo is gonna look better than ( insert whatever game that is known for it's awesome graphics ). End all be all expectations from Halo graphics is just setting yourself up for disappointment. 

OT, I have seen it here and there, particularly in the beginning. Oddly enough I haven't noticed it at all when the shit is hitting the fan. Mostly during cut scenes but no big deal for me. I noticed something else too, when my kids were playing campaign, in the beginning when the team encounters the first villagers, Emille's skull wasn't etched into his helmet. It was just a plain old extra regular EVA helmet, all shiny and clean. So when I starting playing my copy on my 360, I was looking for the same thing but his helmet had the skull. 



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
