What I've been saying about Halo 3 all along...

That's good to hear, lag was a major issue with the online for Halo 2.

Is Blue screen still there?

Overall though, I'm very dissapointed. And I highly doubt this game is going to "set a new high water mark for next generation games" as it was stated it would do. The beta looks barely next-gen.

I'll concede that while compared to games like Gears, H3 looks rather mundane in multiplayer.

But after nearly breaking my X360 controller dozens of times because of Gears' crappy netcode, if Bungie sacrificed a few visual effects for solid multiplayer, I'm perfectly OK with that.

I pointed this comment out by O'Conner more for the people who were comparing R:FoM single player screenies to H3 multiplayer screenies. You can't compare the two.

I'm pretty excited to see H3 single player screens. I wonder how long it will be before we see some...

So are you saying that sacrificing graphics for gameplay is a worthy trade off?  Interesting...considering this is what Wii proponents have been claiming for awhile now.  I totally agree with you as well, especially when it comes to multiplayer games with lots of people.  Doesn't matter how nice it looks if it doesn't play well.

I don't want to derail the thread, I just thought it was an interesting observation from someone outside of the typical hardcore Nintendo fanbase.  As for the game itself, I can't really comment since I never finished Halo 1 or 2.  I'm hoping for the fans sake that Bungee has pulled out all the stops for this guy though.
