Sweet! A combination of two mediocre games may actually make this game worth playing! 😱

But probably not.

I don't like HALO that much, so maybe that's why I can't see it, but:
What the hell is there to get excited about in those pics?... it looks just like another HALO... yet again! 😐

If you're referring to the Natal support then yeah, it's been confirmed that Reach will have Natal support but it won't happen until "it makes sense" Microsoft says.

That's kinda what I was wondering. 😕 No offense to those that are totally hyped for it.

They weren't exactly what you would call breathtaking to me. Pretty much the same as the graphics of the last Halo games IMO (not saying they're bad or anything, but you know. Not that much of an improvement either, but that's just my opinion).
Then again, they are only leaked shots, so it may not be fair to judge the game fully just yet.
*shrug*

they look pretty damn good

and the guns in particular are almost photo realistic... especially those last two pics

true that. Look at that Spartan Laser. jawdrop

So are they finally making a new engine, or is it going run off the same one (as ODST did), because if so, they are not very good graphics..not anymore

...not even true HD... ( I mean 720p)

Isn't 720p pretty standard fare for most console games?

for most, but not HALO

it runs at 1152x640 (640p)

I know it's "sacrifice resolution for better framerate", but c'mon, 3 years and there are already better looking games running at least at 720p and with not so much of hiccup

It's hard to judge graphical quality off of photos off-screen. Don't get too excited.

I am pretty sure its a new engine. The detail in the weapons is too much for the old engine. They almost look like Killzone 2's weapons(which is awesome) I especially like how the BR looks and there is a new "needler/luncher type" weapon that looks cool.

It's not that much lower than 1280x720, but maybe Halo runs at 60fps? In that case, it's worth it.

I was talking about the photorealistic comment, which isn't the case with the current engine, and certainly not worth getting all excited like everywhere in the web (not just here)

like I said, there are already games running at a better resolution and steady framerate, like: Killzone 2... or in the case of 360, GoW

if that's the case then yes... but you can't really tell that from a fuzzy screenshot

Its not like the graphics will keep me from getting it. 131

not at all... I just failed to see the reason for the Interwebs uproar over a bunch of fuzzy photos 😬

Fanboyism.

Its hard to fight the urge tto go nuts over any info regarding a franchise when you're a hardcore fan.

I try to fight the fanboy in me, but its a never-ending battle.

man bungie sucks at continuity and its starting to bug me a bit. the battle for reach started and ended before the events in halo 1 even started. so why are things like the battle rifle the mainstream weaponry for the UNSC in this game? according to First Strike when Fred and his Spartan team found the battle rifle and magnums in the underground Reach lab the weapons were prototypes and not even field tested... so what's up with that? why shit on your own novels?

Games > Novels.

People missed the BR in ODST >>?
