Anyone else think this game has the bes graphics 2012 and any console to date? I’ve literally not seen a game prettier than this in Campaign or Multiplayer, on the Xbox or any other console. The scenery is soooo coloruful and there’s little details everywhere. Also the fact 343 have managed to keep open worlds/big maps without popup, like in Halo 2, which also pushed the console to it’s limit, is really impressive. If you own a HD setup, I’m jealous of you, this game looks smoking. Where did they get the extra graphical power from? Any techs around?
Re-engineering the code, inventing a new Engine from the ground up based off Halo 3’s Engine is what I feel caused it to be capable of this.
It and Crysis 3 are pretty close graphics wise, yet I would say Halo 4 has the edge on it because it is definately cleaner, smoother, looking than Crysis 3 has been shown to be so far.
It also helps that alot of money, budget, was pushed toward everything in general especially the graphical part of the game, more money than ever before.

I was stating, the only game I have seen come close to its level is Crysis 3, that is clear from my post, please do not attempt to troll me considering he asked the best of any Console, not just 2012.
I think so, until the latest Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes comes out.
Even with the Crysis games, I would’ve said that Halo 4 has some of the best graphics on the console.

For the most part yes, if Microsoft feels the product is worth giving the money for they will do so, Halo 4 has proved a successful bet.

Ground Zero looks promising, and one thing that I may decide Crysis has done better in 3 is its water but that remains to be seen :), Ragnarok may change my mind about that :P.
If we’re going by just consoles, then yes, Halo 4 looks damn fine.

Nah, the main deciding factor for Crysis was that amazing Frog tech. 
Battlefield 3 still looks great on a console but overall with art direction and just the look of a game, I feel Halo 4 is the best looking game on Xbox.
Halo 4 looks amazing. I mean, really. Kudos to 343.
But Crysis 3 in HD 1080p… H4 Can’t compete (gameplay wise). Hell, even Crysis 2 in 1080p is pretty bloody brilliant.
That being said, H4 has far superior looking cinematics and cut scenes to Crysis.

Yes, just the art direction of Halo 4 has won be over. It looks beautiful, and I never say that about games.

Thankyou for such great, explicit information. I hope 343 release a behind the scenes of how they did. They defintly set the standard for years to come, this looks next gen.

No Crysis runs at 1080p on any console. Only on PC is such possible in which case any Crysis beats Halo 4 in graphical performance. Of course the artistic look is a factor and a matter of opinion. But personally, if only considering console games, Halo 4 looks better than any game I have seen.
Halo has always been beautiful in my opinion. But H4 is the most beautiful.

And if Halo 4 would run in 1080p? ( I know it doesn’t but if it did)
And just wait until next GEn 
I’m happy that they will keep the same engine. It is the halo body.
All Halo’s looks perfect at their date (yes Halo 3 I think it was good), love the engine

Xbox 360 upscales from a resolution below 720p (1,440 x 720) so the native resolution is not 1080p.
Even with a HDMI cable and a 1080P TV, you can’t upscale to that resolution on an Xbox 360?

Sorry guys! I meant 1080i, not 1080p! Slip of the fingers on the keyboard. Im not very technically savvy so i could be talking utter rubbish. My TV is connected with HDMI to a 1080i setting, so im guessing that I play Crysis on that setting? Sorry for being a noob 
I still personally think Crysis 2 looks phenominal, and Crysis 3 will be even more so!
But yeah, no doubt Halo 4 has taken an incredible art direction. Definitely the best looking Halo to date, and one of the best looking games at the moment.
