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.

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!

i'm trying not to laugh because first xbox did burned a house... but it's sad because it killed a baby =(.

Bungie wouldn't be releasing it on any system other than the Xbox and the PC.

I don't think so.

Combat Evolved was a pretty significant evolution in graphics on the original Xbox. Halo 3, I'm sure, started development before the 360.

Anyone can be a graphical powerhouse with a big enough budget. Just look at Guerilla games.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

It could have been for Halo :Reach Pre E3...Post E3..Not likely but It could still be....I say not likely because the Reach beta which will come with a Bunch of Halo 3 stuff is later this year...The Window of time for hiring most likely does not align...I say it could still be...Because I don't work at Bungie.

The reach multiplayer Beta could very likely use a version of the Halo 3 engine, rather than the unfinished Reach engine(and in essence be a theoretical beta, and not a physical one). I figured Bungie will do that, in order to make Reach shock us when it is actually shown.

Guerilla games created nice graphics on Red Faction: Guerilla, but they're not that good. Just look at Resident Evil 5.

I agree Halo 3 looks great and ODST. Bungie can sure produce great graphics.

^ i dont think so. im pretty sure i had read somewhere that bungie said it has been working on halo reach a lot longer then odst.... right after halo 3 came out in fact.

Yes. Of course they have (been working on Halo: Reach since right after Halo 3 released, if not longer).

This job application is not for Halo: Reach, or else there's no chance at all that Halo: Reach will come out in 2010, if they're still hiring key people for early-mid phase programming. So most likely this is for their next project (multiplatform perhaps?)
