Hyperbole or true intentions?  Could they be referring to the 3rd project that is underway at Bungie?

Since when is Bungie a graphical powerhouse game maker to claim this: "join our small but high powered graphics team."

Since when? Since they made Halo 3 that is almost possible on the original xbox and doesn't use any of the 360's power and looks like shit when compared to Gears 2????

I don't think so.



cool. if this is like any of there other games then i am sure that it will be beautiful



Whoever it is, he is going to be hailed as a king if he gets Halo Reach a few "best graphix in games" gongs ... or it could be a woman?!

I think Halo is already a very pretty game, but then Reach looks like its going in a different direction, so if it can top Killzone then HA to that.

I'm pretty sure that if the original Xbox tried to render some of the environments in Halo 3 it would just explode. Fire everywhere! All because of the scale.

I'm pretty sure that Xbox 360s do the same. And not only with Halo 3!
