Then again, good graphics do not equal good games.
anyone who tells you that they noticed this is llying...
this game has some of the best lighting effects if not THE best lighting effects i've ever seen in a game. the graphics are comparable to ANY of the big powerhouses of games.
halo 3 is beautiful AND large scale, whereas in games like gears of war, you get beautiful graphics at the expense of scale.
the reason why halo 3 is getting so much crap for graphics, is because it broke the mold of everything in next gen games being brown and grey, and used COLORS.
Halo has its own artistic style, and bungie brought that style into next gen hardware.
the game looks like everything i imagined a halo on next gen hardware would look like.
anyone who says the graphics look bad were expecting another gears of war or something. and like i said, while gears has awesome character models, you pay for it in the end by having tiny small scale environments and battles, and invisible walls.
