See, the problem here then is that I am comparing it to game x, y and so forth. And in that respect, and going by what we saw in the beta as well as what we're seeing here, the scope and scale doesn't seem so grand. I actually like the look of it (barring that chopper), nice and clean, but these comparisons I make to other games aren't necessarily working in favor of cutting Halo 3 all that much slack, at least in terms of scope. But then these are multiplayer maps designed for a certain amount of players, so I'm not expecting the maps to cover massive distance. I'm hoping for some real epic stuff from SP.
And to be fair, Halo 2 screens never seemed impressive either, but it was a lot nicer in motion. Everything will be fine, I'm just not understanding the "incredible" talk.
