I have that tv!
Can I ask what picture settings you use? Do you use the settings that come as default, or have you tweaked them?

After a Firefight match was over, another player and I decided to see who really was better. He missed......

 

[Chip N Chance]

Even though this isn't what my guy looks like anymore, i thought it was a pretty cool pose.

 

[MrBig]

Reach's screenshots really don't look as great as the game does in motion.
Here's one with a quick touch up in photoshop

[Trasher]

Whoa. I didn't notice you could see the elites' faces through those helmets.

 

[Rickard]

I don't have my copy of reach anymore. Could somebody tell me what happens if you don't shoot the core with the mac cannon?

 

[J-Roderton]

Really like this one. Reminds me of Jorge. Those are the Para knees right?

Also this seems to a popular shot so here's mine.

 

[Primethius]

Whoa. I didn't notice you could see the elites' faces through those helmets.

Blew my mind as well. I'm pretty sure I saw them change expressions during assassinations too.

Highlight reel from yesterday's Office of No Dying Challenge:

Game of the generation.

 

[Kapura]

Bros before hos. Army dudes know it.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Shots from On Tilt Challenge today. New Alexandria is probably the most photogenic level in the game.

(Buck and I exchanging mutually respectful nods.)

(Tilt doesn't help you once your shields are down.)

(I'd be confused too.)

(Falcon was banged up pretty good by the mission's end.)

 

[MrBig]

New Alexandria and Exodus are my favorite in the game. They did a really great job on those in terms of both gameplay and visual presentation.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Right on target.

If they came to hear me beg...

 

[RebornYeti]

From my run through of Legendary. Nightfall provides for some amazing screenshots, but this is my favorite I've taken so far.

 

[STG]

DragonBall!

 

[Trasher]

These look so much better on my TV.

Some of you guys are getting yours to come out much better. What's your secret?

 

[wayward archer]

Not a needle, but a Covenant sniper shot. Which is significant because (so far as I can tell) there are no Covenant sniper rifles in the game, and maybe, just maybe, they tested the first one on her, but didn't get it in production in time for the first Halo, and why we see it in 2/3/ODST

Unless there IS a Covenant sniper rifle in Reach, then disregard everything I've said.

It's a needle rifle. I just assumed all their shields were messed up from the emp earlier and the sniper got a headshot.

The focus rifle is effectively the covenant sniper rifle.

I add 10% contrast to my shots as the images from exporting always look too washed out.

The resolution on mine are different than your guys' though. Am I downloading them off of Bungie incorrectly?

 

[MrBig]

The screenshots will render at whatever your TV is set to.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Black EVA is sexy.

Rocket just barely missed me.

 

[zero margin]

Facepalm

:lol Awesome.

 

[jet1911]

 

[Snuggles]

The 2nd shot is Halo Wars.

Or at least it appears to be at first glimpse.

 

[jet1911]

Nope. I just pulled the camera back a bit. It's the begininng of Long Night of Solace.

 

[Thagomizer]

Wow, the compression from the Bungie.net shots is awful :/

http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/filedetails.aspx?fid=4609218&player=Duck+Politics

I tried to fix it, but it still looks much better on my TV.

 

[Ryu bogard]

Nothing special but i like it also got my if they come to hear me beg achievement with this kill.

 

[Numpt3]

Does anyone have some Neurofen?

 

[samus4ever]

This guy was talking mad smack in the game lobby so I decided to sticky him every time I ran into him.

I switch between male and female as I go along. This is a picture of my current SPARTAN-III's configuration. (Female pictured.)

Here's a video I made a while back for Halo GAF... regarding spirit day.

It's a bunch of purple spartans!

[BruceLeeRoy]

Its odd to me that the photo mode for Halo 3 looks amazing but is a leap ahead of the game and Reach has graphics a leap ahead of the Halo 3 photo mode yet its photo mode brings it back down a level what gives?

 

[UltimaPooh]

Maybe people aren't posting high res shots?

Mine's not.

 

[Grisby]

Just wanted to post two of my favorites when I was playing pretty hardcore. Might try to get back in when they lower the map pack price.

Christmas Spartans wat

Hi guys,

I know I'm quite LTTP, but I only recently started a blog about videogame photography and for me Halo:Reach is still a work-in-progress.

This game is so beautiful, and its photo-mode so deep, I decided to split my work on it into 3 segments:


The Covenant Files (devoted only to Covenant portraits)

The Chronicles of Reach (following the main Storyline)

And last but not Least the Postcards from Reach (self-explanatory):

If you like my approach, feel free to visit my blog for the 1080p photos, no hud no watermarks.

Being a work-in-progress I covered only until the "Nightfall" mission. Here you can see 2 'Postcards' from Nightfall which will be online only in the middle of next week.

And if you wonder why the pics are so crisp, it's because I slightly worked with the 'sharpen' effect via photoshop. It's a pity to lose some beautiful details just to save some Kbites of memory.

Awesome screenshots, emalord.

Awesome screenshots, emalord.

Thanks Dax01.
Concerning Halo: Reach I'm a man with a mission.
This game is considered one of the best FPS ever for all the right reasons, but I think it's also very underrated on the "art design" voice.
Because of the fast paced action the majority of the players probably did not notice how many small, fantastic details are scattered all over the battlefield and on the covenant faces.
The Hunter's neck, for example, moves and flexes in an incredible way, but you rarely notice this detail because you usually do not approach a Hunter just to look at its neck
And what about the Skirmishers? They look fantastic in close-ups when they scream.
Also: even on some barren battlefields such as the Tip Of The Spear arenas, you can always find a good backdrop to take a fantastic screenshot, possibly 'playing' with the light of some plasma explosions.
And sometimes, the moon itself is enough

About Hunters and their neck

Here a couple of "discarded" screenshot of the "Nightfall" gallery.
They are less crisp than the others because, as a discarded pic, they did not receive the "sharpen" treatment via photoshop.

Agreed, man. Nightfall definitely showcases that.
