Halo 3 Halo 3

Well they better make a Halo4! They better make it with smooth animations, bump-mapping, 4xAA, etc. At this point I really wouldnt mind if they delayed Halo3 if they needed to revamp the engine. They may be finished content wise but engine wise I think they need more time.

Edit because of heretic's response: Why can't they have good graphics and gameplay! Let people be disappointed if they want to because it doesnt live up to their expectations! Why is it bad to suggest the game might need improvements in certain areas! And if you dont like the responses then TOUGH SHIT! Yeah I said it, TOUGH SHIT!

Hey everyone's entitled to their opinions, we're critiquing a game here. No games perfect, not even Bioshock!

I barely noticed a jaggy whilst playing during the Beta and I think it's fair to say the SP looks better than that so I don't think it's an issue, particulary given the scale of combat on offer.

That said, it's not the end of the world is a few people want it all. It's good to be demanding!

That's gotta be co-op. There'd be a score somewhere on the screen if it were MP.

The fans have spoken. Concerning the graphics of the Halo 3 Beta: "There's so many little effects and things going on that make this game pretty much 2nd only to Gears at the moment."

I just listened to the newest Bungie podcast and the lead AI programmer was talking about animation and how the technology behind it really hasn't changed in years, especially with regards to the AI controlling the transitions in the animation. That right there to me is an indication that the animation in this game is not going to be very good. I think maybe they should take a look at what Ninja Theory is doing with Heavenly Sword. And I think systems like Natural Motion seem to be advancing animation significantly and even Madden is doing a much better job this year using branching and physics.

A little bit of a let down for me but it is still by far my most anticipated game. :)

Please don't tell people they "are blind" "need glasses" "need to get their eyes checked", etc.. or I'll ban your ass.
I'm sick of that shit a long time ago.

You should have read my comment a little more in depth. I was comparing the E3 2006 vid of Halo 3 to the E3 2007 screen shots.

When you think about it like that I suppose its more easier to stomach, but like sometimes it looks REALLY ridiculous like when they aren't attacking they aren't doing much of anything.

Ultimately I guess that game shouldn't have been brought into the discussion since there is no point really comparing heavenly's ai to halo's or vice versa games are way too different. I don't like heavenly Swords ai though I hope it was just due to whatever level the game was set at.

If Halo 3 is the last traditional Halo game--I think they should consider making "Halo: Arena" next. All MP, screw the haters!

And are people really arguing about anti-aliasing, or even the visuals in general? If people expected the bestest looking "this-gen" game ever, then maybe your expectations weren't based in reality. It looks solid, for what it is. I'd worry more about stuff like BXR than I would the graphics engine at this point.

It is what it is.

They said in the podcast that bxr was fixed.

This probably wont be popular, but I think an all mp game would kill halo in the shadowrun sense.

They need to keep their story driven halo games going or atleast branch out in a new area.
