Joking aside, I hope Bungie will let me play on my 5:4 monitor with letterboxed 720p image and not some upscaled shit. It will make image quality so much better.

I thought MS had fixed some of their VGA bugs so almost all games output at 1280x1024 are 1280x720 with letter boxes above and below. Did they still not fix this? I know non-720 rendered games (PGR3, CoD3, etc a growing list actually) cause issues... 720p shouldn't. Hmmm!

Halo 3 lacks AA? Hmm. I wasn't really bothered by aliasing at all, actually. It seems like it has less aliasing then the beta did. Maybe my tv became magical.

if something is already fine without something, then adding it wont nesciserily make it any better.........
and thats all i have to say on that

one thing that worries me is on bungie.net it says 10 500 unique halo 3 players online in last 25 hours...
10 500 ppl got halo 3 early!!!?!!?!?!?!
jesus...

well yes, the thing that worries me is that 10 500 people have kept awfully quiet about there opinions of halo 3... and ppl on the internet, especially halo fans, are not quiet!!!! so maybe the game sucks major ass??
i really do hope not!!!!!!!!

i think halo is a funny game because unless you love halo then you wont see what all the fuss is about, and you will wonder why theres so much hype and buy it then be dissapointed.

but as a halo fan myself, i think im gonna like halo 3 as much as the 1st one hopefully.

did you know there was only 10 people created halo 1...
and 60 for halo 2
makes you wonder what they spent all there time doing...!!!

but hey theres 120 ppl worked for halo 3 lol so it had better be good!!!

You are not automatically after you log your modded console into Xbox LIVE.

Sadly, it's not only Bungie&Microsoft who facing this problem... Every developer and publisher suffers losses because of that.

Can somebody post some ingame screenshots? From all what i've seen HALO 3 suffers from terrible aliasing. It's said that HALO 3 doesn't nativly render at 720p, but some lower resolution that causes the aliasing.
It seems that the second first party delivers an underwhelming presentation.

I'll put up some non-spoiler shots on my Bungie file share when it's up and link them in this thread. However, regarding AA. I see jaggies playing the game but I've seen them in other games and I know my TV isn't the best in this regard. It's weird because at other times there are none. I wouldn't say it's a jag fest at all. You notice it a LOT less playing than pouring over screen shots.

However, I've one thing to say about graphics. The sheer scale and size of some levels and the objects within them is massive. You won't see screens of what i'm alluding too because it's too far into the story but this engine has a thirteen mile draw distance, for a reason.

Secondly, the Cinema Paradiso ViDoc should make this apparent. Bungie built their engine around the saved films feature. I took a screenshot of the level that Blim got some footage of attempting to get in the Chief, a highway, a battlecruiser and the wreckage of the space accelerator in the distance. I could zoom out so far the Chief was a mere ant. They clearly believe that Forge, Saved Films & 4 player co-op will do more for this game than an extra 10-20-whatever % increase in graphical fidelity. This will be the most played game on Xbox Live for the next 4 years because of those features, not because of the eye candy.

Personally I think it looks great. There are plenty of worse looking 360 games and only a handful of better looking ones but none of the latter let me play with 3 of my friends online, save the entire experience and then replay it to myself from a free roaming camera, not to mention whilst a battle of insane proportions rages on around you.

If people still want to complain about graphics after playing the game and doing that then fine but I'll bet at least half of them will have changed their mind halfway through the campaign.

Don't really think this is a spoiler, well not for singleplayer anyways.
More like MP spoilers I guess.

I wish there was more customizations for elites and just body parts in general - like forearms, hands, legs, boots.

Oh well, better than nothing.

And I'm through. According to my saved films I was done in 9 hours 36 minutes on Heroic. Add on 41 minutes for cutscenes that makes for approx 10 hours.

I only found 1 skull and 1 terminal though, boo!

Is it possible to go through in 8 hours? I guess if you're deliberately rushing. There were parts where I died, A LOT so that would have held me up. Then again there was one major battle I completely fluked and I imagine next time I get to it, I wouldn't be able to do that again so it's swings and roundabouts.

Now just open up matchmaking already, I want to own some journos!

The intro and ending movies are, in production quality, as good as any blockbuster movie I have seen. Amazing.
