as much as i'm liking cover in Gears and Vegas, i don't want it in Halo.traveler said:Hmm...
Could the X button be, perhaps, a cover button? It is the hot new thing, what with Gears and R6 this fall employing it to varying degrees.

Also, nobody has yet guessed what the X button does, but please for the love of god don't get too excited. It's cooler than sprint or roll, but it's not as cool as Salma Hayek washing your car in a bikini.

You've already read up top what my immediate first impression was. We've seen what the Xbox 360 is capable of with beauts like Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Gears of War...and Halo 3 didn't reach those standards in the good-looks department. Of course, Bungie warned us earlier that this very, very early (pre-alpha) version doesn't have all the visual wows built in yet, but still....I'm looking at Halo 3! On the Xbox 360! Of course I have high expectations. The original game's still one of the best looking Xbox 1 titles around. I wanted to be stunned when I saw Halo 3's graphics. I wasn't. It just looked like a slightly sharper, slightly more detailed Halo 2 to me.

sableholic said:yea ouch, a game that doesnt have the final graphics and isn't coming for a year and was a alpha test doesn't look as good as the best 360 games... ouch indeed
I agree with this part. They have to rework a lot to make the whole thing look awesome, just adding "final textures" won´t help this thing that much because the polycount in the environments seems to be damn low. It just looks so, eh, Halo 2. Empty environments without much detail, and that bugs me, Halo art style or not. Guess why they had to make the environments in Halo 1&2 look like that...right the XBox wasn´t capable of so much more when you pushed many enemies and vehicles at once on screen. But from a nextgeneration game I expect more than just some empty environments with a couple of (also with lowpoly models as it seems) characters on screen. They´ve got much time though, but they better use it.D2G said:halo 3 should at no stage look like a sharp halo 2...
