The lighting, animation and texture work all seem too good to be true. With this new engine, there may be a new console graphics king. ODST was just a stopgap for Reach, and I can't wait to see the finished result.

odst was the most fun i had in a halo campaign, if its the same or better im excited, wish it wasnt another prequel to the main games though.

Well it was about time they gave it a graphical upgrade as it was sorely in need of one in Halo 3, which looked distinctly similar to Halo 2.

I do hope they improve their map making though. All those copy & paste corridors got right on my tits.

Looked alright, but I wanna see something a bit different this time. The Halo games are getting a bit samey-samey.

I really didn't see anything too impressive with those graphics there.

The graphics are fine, but i don't play Halo because it looks pretty. I play Halo because they are fun games with an interesting story.

Also, I highly doubt any Halo game is going to look as good as something like Killzone 2 or Dead Space.

Find me game with huge, sprawling maps with a 4-player campaign that looks that good.

Agreed. It also has the best graphics of the bunch to date, imo.

Arma 2, Crysis, FarCry 2........

When did Halo turn serious anyway? Ive played the first one right through but it had an almost cartoonish feel to it

And those little aliens that run around frantically don't help matters much, huh?

Killzone 2 has no co-op mode. Neither does Crysis or Far Cry 2.

Also, Killzone 2 has open environments? I thought it was more linear corridors.

Odst has the best enviroments in a halo game yet. As soon as i turned it on i said to myself, "this is definitely not like the others".

I always enjoyed halo for the canon and gameplay elements and always overlooked what i thought were subpar graphics. But with odst there was a huge graphical jump, so there's really no excuse for haters to hate on the franchise because in that that have addressed a longtime deficiency in what is otherwise a stellar franchise.
