There's no doubt in my mind that Reach will be the best looking 360 game when it launches and definitely one of the best looking consoles game on the market altogether.

I just hope it plays similar to ODST in some way.

 

 

Halo is about gameplay, not graphics. That's why it's still considered the best console fps out there. And i'm not taking into account the number of fanboys but online activity.

WOw, didn't notice that much of a difference until now, it's crazy how far graphics have come over the last decade.

Yeah Halo 3 was more about gameplay rather than graphics.

Reach will undoubtedly be about both :)

Sure whatever makes you happy..........



Gaming make me feel GOOD!

Already loved Halo 3 graphics (colourful and astounding effects)

The UNSC marines picture is the best.

Halo 2 was the best looking game in last gen and even original Halo looked awesome considering that is it was launch game for original xbox. So Halo at least was about graphics too. Hopefully Reach looks good.

Reach is going to be a big step up from 3 & ODST in terms of looks.


Hopefully reach will have some WOW moments in it.. ODST was pretty much a run of the mill shooter. I think there was maybe one thing, but the game was boring as a whole. The action was stale and the open world aspect felt incomplete at best.

Graphics won't mean anything unless the game utilizes them properly for those special center pieces in the game tough. Hopefully reach does so.

Im really looking to Reach. I felt Halo 3 had a free pass since it came before COD4. Since then the FPS genre has been getting more competitive.
Modern Warfare 2, Killzone 2 and now Bad company 2. All top notch on the gameplay and Graphics department.
Bungie needed to step it up big time and im loving the results.

And to all the guys saying "Halo 3 was all about gameplay". When i pay $60 for a game i expect great gameplay with great graphics to go with it. Last time i checked Halo 3 was $60 at launch.

Uh, yeah.

And it's launch was way back in 2007.

The graphics were much more impressive back then. Gameplay was still the main event though, with co-op, theater, multi, bungie.net integration and single player. An unheard of amount of content for a console fps. Hell, it's impressive now since they just keeping adding to it all.

Word

ive yet to see a game as friendly as Halo 3.  Why do developers skip Split/LAN this days?

Still Halo 1 & 2, had the best graphics at their time. Halo 3 dropped them to average.
