The problem there is that on 360 you can't do alpha blending with FP16 target. You can do 7e3 though.

The fanboys can say what they want, but I don't find these shots impressive at all ! 
They feel empty and devoid of character to me. A case of mixed identity. As if they didn't know what they wanted to achieve.

The most I got out of it was the character modeling & lighting. The shot with the tuning fork dropship & the stealth attack on the elite show some promise with the atmosphere rendering, but... the environments are pretty boring so far.
Isn't there an Edge magazine article coming soon? Hopefully they got different and more interesting shots.
While correct, alpha blend with deferred lighting (whether it be light pre-pass or a full on G-buffer etc) means that a separate rendering pass is necessary for alpha effects.
Doing some digging, it appears that MRTs have to all be the same bit-depth although the formats can be different. I gather it means for example... MRT0 = FP10, 32bpp, MRT1=RGBA8, 32bpp, MRT2= R16G16 etc... Anyways, too little to go on.

I think the new screens look quite nice, not sure why all the hate. A massive upgrade from the low res GI shots on the web.
They do look a bit "strange", but also in a good way looking almost CG. Not that far off from the trailer now either. Certain areas/shots/models that have obviously been pointed out right away do look underwhelming, but others look very very good. One of the top graphics games out there now from these shots.

I already read this is likely a fake. For one, I'm certain Halo is not going to include a "murder mode", imagine the angry parents. Terrible voice modulator too
And of course he covers the screen when any footage would run.

I have to agree. The change in character design is nice but I'm not that impressed by it technically.

The character models, lighting, and self shadowing are pretty impressive and pretty much match the target render as far as I can tell.
Will wait til we see more environments before making a determination on that. That said, I don't think there's any way in hell you're going to ever get high poly environments in a large scale game. Not going to ever happen (at least on this generation of consoles) so it'll be interesting to see what they can manage to pull off though.

According to Urk on NeoGAF:
If that is the case, then its quite possible a lot of stuff has been added since then and maybe more will be added in the future. It will be interesting to see how it turns out in the end.

oh, that's good.
you know news travels fast. complaints are already in the forums of bungie's page. looks like bungie's going to address it. i frankly didn't see nothing wrong with the shots, i already know everything's still in the beginning stages. i mean the halo: reach trailer came out what, just a month ago?
so it's obvious the game is still has a long ways to go. (8 months i believe.)

I agree with most people here that it looks a bit lifeless, but i like the new color palette and atmosphere. I found Halo always way too colorful in everything, so its nice to see that changed and the game is still far from finished.
Its just more serious and grown up.

Sounds like it's going to be one hell of a battle.
