Halo 3 beta on a 1080p sony sxrd looks pretty every bit as good as resistence Gears is mostly small closed quarter maps hince 4 on4 matches tops with high end graphics Halo 3 will look better on final release but no console out is gonna push huge maps and super polished graphics! even though the 360 hdr lighting is way better then anything on PS3 and all the graphics are quite nice ya'll need a 1080p 50+ inch tv to see the truth not some 3 in screen shot on a PC

As good as Resistance?  Kind of a letdown if that's all it is, huh?  But hey, at least you give Resistance props.  Resistance 2 will probably be out next year so we'll see what that looks like.  How long have they been working on Halo 3?  Several years, right?

@sieanr: Please provide those screenshots as proof.  Now, I don't want you to just look for the worst possible screenshots of a beta and then get the best looking screen of the retail game...try to be fair about it.  

I've played in some betas and as I understand them, they are mostly to catch bugs and work out gameplay.  Bungie has said they might not add anti-aliasing in, so I don't expect the graphics to get much better.  I understand the philosophy of making sure gameplay is perfect before ramping up the graphics, but they don't have very long to rework the entire thing, and I think a lot of the time will be working out kinks.  They probably have to finish all the maps as well.  Only 3 are in the beta.
