Its kinda pathetic that you have to resort to labelling people to get your point across. I knew its gonna be endless bickering thats why I put up the bet so the discussion can continue, so why don't you just man up and take the bet.
You can believe what was shown to be achievable if not surpassed as much as it pleases you. But I say the final retail version would not look anywhere near as good as what was shown, not that it matters, because Halo is about gameplay not awesome graphics, which brings up the question of why they did not show any gameplay at all because If it was all real time as you and others suggested, It looks like they have enough assets to show what could be representative of gameplay. Development must still be in the early stages, what you saw was highly probable to be CG renders.
Oh wow...
Is it going to really take a literal hammer to the skull for you to get that everything shown in the trailer was where Bungie was at at that point in time with playable code actually running on the 360 hardware, and not a damn render?
What the hell are you blabbering about talking about "shown to be achievable"? With that teaser, they've shown where they
were - they've even
passed that by now... good Lord... is comprehension that hard for you?
This game has got to be the best looking thing you've ever seen, and it's just clawing at your feeble heart for you to go to all this trouble despite Bungie saying in the most understandable way that this is actual in-game "we're this far with playable code" stuff... AND despite Gamespot seeing the damn scene getting controlled before their very eyes with the 360 controller and the 360 dev kit right in front of them...
And you know what's the funniest thing? It's only going to get soooooooo much better looking in the end, since they still have so far to go... but then again, you'd probably be in denial despite somebody popping the disk in right in front of you when the game is out on shelves and playing it right in front of you...
I hope someone from Bungie sees this thread, and they see how awesome their game really looks based on these comments, when they still have so much more to add... this thread is one hell of a compliment - looking so good that these people can't believe it's not CG... go Bungie!

I would just like to point out that 3d enviroment there ain't close to foreground one when it comes to texture/3d details of course(because it doesn't need to be since you can't actually go there, it's far away eye-candy. Though I know you know this.). And the mountains, city & ships in the very far distance is a painting despite what Frankie said(maybe he meant that you can walk there and it will be a full geometric city when you get closer). Of course, he could be refering to some crude 3D boxes.
Oh look, another know-it-all who apparently knows more than Bungie themselves, and knows what's true and what's not... wow.
I mean, if this guy says that Frankie, who actually WORKS at Bungie, gets to play and see the game everyday, is lying, well damn, he must be right!
Another huge compliment for you guys at Bungie! Here's another guy who's in disbelief...
Why don't I see this kind of crap in other game threads? Are they not good-looking enough to get a denial treatment? We even got somebody posting Final Fantasy CGI for comparison in here (and please keep that sh*t out of here, thanks) - I don't see that in other threads...
Keep working hard Bungie - keep showcasing that talent of yours, and keep these guys in disbelief...
