I think everyone should calm down and wait and see what it actually looks like in action instead of a zoomed in screen of master chief.

You're building yourselves up for a letdown...

I fear a let down as well, since Some people say the beta felt like nothing was new, then it may be a let down atleast in the multiplayer perspective to some people. The campaign is a different story, but if the beta was the multiplayer version of halo 3 the graphics were a let down.

OK? How is this supposed to make me wet my pants?

It looks like something from the intro movie or something...

Want to Buy gameplay screenshots....

Completely agree. This is obviously not a gameplay screen. Publishing stuff like this as a gameplay screen will only hurt their image when actual ones come out (Killzone we are looking at you).

I believe it IS a gameplay screen.

There is a good reason MS have kept Halo3 close to their chests - I expect the gfx to surprise people when we actually see what the single player game will look like.

(but its probably from an in-game cutscene - using the gfx hardware of course)

 


Hrmm, it's possible, but doubtful.  We will have to wait and see.

Bungie has released screens since the beta (you can find them on Bungie.net) and they look better than the beta. There appear to be bloom effects and better textures in those screens.

I wonder if Bungie was sandbagging the beta graphics to make sure it ran well and to keep the download size reasonable.

Look at the full (780p?) version of the screenshot on the forum. The 360 can easily do those gfx in-game for characters. Easily. The shot in this thread looks overly nice, because it has been downsampled to half resolution.

I think if anyone is expecting LESS from Halo3, they are kidding themselves. This is a full YEAR after Gears of Wars  remember ;)

That's possible I suppose.  Hopefully we will see it at E3.

That makes sense all to make more hype on halo 3.

Wanna bet Halo 3 will look nothing near as good as Gears of War?



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

the game will not look as good as that screen shot.

I see no reason why they would of daulled down the beta SO MUCH just cause they were thinking of the people and the download size. If people are die hard fans they will download any size to play it.

Jus tlook at the matrix onlien game. The first fix patch was over 1gb big, and loads of peopel got it. It was just a fix patch not even the game.

The problem with a bet like this is ... who gets the final say that it looks better or not as good? And, if the in-game models are as detailed as the above picture, would you consider it better looking than Gears?
