Graphics - Halo 4 versus Halo Reach

To everyone that’s already picked up their copy - is it just me or are the graphics HORRIBLE compared to previous games, even compared to CODMW3 as a benchmark.

What’s with the first level? Pixel heaven?

Do i have to install it on my HDD to make it better? I run a 4GB.

Anyone with similar problems or am i just being too picky?

You shouldn’t have to, and the graphics are intensely stunning in my opinion.

I dunno what to tell you. What is your gaming setup, in terms of monitor/TV, Display Mode, and display cable? If you’re using a regular A/V cable, a tube TV or you have set your display mode to SD (480p or 360p), then it probably won’t look that great.

I think you need glasses, no offense meant honestly.

Best looking game on the 360 imo.

I prefer H3’s graphics over Reach’s. and H4 is just amazing.

Oh this ain’t my first rodeo. I’m all set up–found some other posts on the inter web with similar opinions. Ain’t that crash hot…You’ll realise it when you play the first level and get out in space

Had the game since yesterday morning. Halfway through the campaign.

It’s stunning.

Especially on a 50" 1080p plasma.

I think you might be talking about aesthetics, unless you just prefer a lower polygon count. Honestly, I’m a fan of Reach’s “darker” colors. I got a headache from Halo: CEA bright color scheme and I had to lower the contrast down dramatically to stop my eyes from bleeding.

No I mean how colorful the game was compared to reach.

> No I mean how colorful the game was compared to reach.

Yeah, aesthetics.

I’m glad I took the time to buy a Xbox 360 compatible HDMI cable to use with my monitor.

After 4-5 years of playing Halo games on a tube tv, I finally got to see the Xbox 360 in better light. I can’t wait to see Halo 4 in the same manner!

The only thing this setup robs me of is capturing my Halo 4 gameplay (since I had to unplug the A/V cable). Halo 4 campaign theater, please hurry up and come out!

But that’s just space! What about on the ground?

i think some of you fan girls should wipe that halo -Yoink- off your hands and stop acting like little -Yoinks!-.

the graphics are -Yoinking!- -Yoink- compared to previous games, got it?

Halo 3 = 1152x640 (no AA)
Halo: Reach = 1152x720 (2xAA temporal)
Halo 4 = 1280x720 (post-AA)

In terms of clarity, Halo 4 is superior. Halo 4 has a much improved lighting engine and i think you’lll find the graphics and artistic style is great once you play it.

HAHA go away troll and stop bashing people on the forums for giving their opinion you don’t like them okay fair enough you said your bit now just leave no one cares :slight_smile:

everything from the foreground, to minor details all the way up to the “tumour” grunts look cartoonish

if you CANT see that then you’re just typical fan boys…blind…and wishing your precious Bungie returned.

meh.

Best looking game on the Xbox so far, Reach looks horrible in comparison in fact to be honest out of all the halo games its the worst looking one on its respected console

its funny

when normal humans (non zombie non iphone 5 owning non halo fan girls) like myself “talk back” to the fangirls, its all of a sudden called “trolling!”

that word “troll” is probably the most famous dumb -Yoink- internet word next to “plot hole” during the prometheus discussions

you idiots make me sick!

They’re fanboys because they have a different opinion than you about an artsyle?
k.

Good then please go away as nobody cares what you have to say the game looks awesome if you don’t like the artistic style of the game tough thats how it is now go away and cry somewhere else waves

Hang on a second, You made a new account just to come on here and start hurling abuse!?

Here’s what i think: You didn’t get hold of a copy of H4 so now you are attempting to vent your (Pathetic) anger on here by scraping the bottom of the barrel with “Herp derp apple fanboys” and “Herp derp you are all so stupid for buying H4”

But WTF does owning apple products have to do with H4 or Halo in general or even what the topic was about. GRAPHICS!?

To be honest i feel sorry you a really do, Knowing that your parents raised you to be such waste and the funny bit is you will prove me right with something along the lines of “Halo fanboy rage” or something cruder.
