I was just wondering whether Halo: Reach will be on the halo 3 engine or not? I personally hope not because imo the halo 3 engine is outdated compared to other games on the market right now and i'd love to see bungie push the 360 to its limits.
My Eyes!!! The Goggles Do Nothing!!!
Hope not, they should put more money in the engine then marketing this time around.
Probably not.
For what it's worth, ODST looked significantly better than Halo 3, and it's running on the same engine. Actually looks like a current-gen game, while still maintaining a distinctly 'Halo' look.

Umm...no.
Halo 3 engine runs 4 players split screen at the same time pretty seemlesly most of the time. That alone is a huge accomplishment.
People don't give bungie enough credit...they invested a lot in their engine and it shows with features like forge and 4 player coop.

Really you don't think Halo 3's graphics were current-gen? Played Tsavo Highway yestarday and I've never noticed how nice they were, found them to be graphics king at that time. |
It can handle an incredible amount of things onscreen, and has great lighting, but try looking up close at just about any human character. I'm not saying it looked bad artistically (it looked great), but technically, it wasn't all that great.
ODST looked much better, though, and it uses the H3 engine, so I can't imagine Reach will look too shabby either.

I wouldn't go that far...
It sure is an impressive update of the Halo 3 engine but from what I have seen from the E3 demo, it sometimes shows his age.
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
I'm pretty sure it won't, seeing as bungie isn't developing this one, they're just kinda overseeing it. Aside from that though, reach isn't part of the trilogy, just part of the universe. I believe they're trying to create a new experience with reach and focus on an entirely different aspect of the halo universe and story.
That being said, it better not run on the same engine, not even an updated one. If that happens this game is gonna be an EPIC FAIL. Halo is awesome but it's a little burned out and is very one sided. Reach will be more balanced, focusing much more on the single player experience while still delivering an addictive enough multiplayer mode.
I believe that's the halo engines' biggest flaw, how unbalanced it is.
