It was mentioned during one of the BWU IIRC
Also I too think Reach is one of the best lookin shooters out today on consoles, when you consider the scale. A great accomplishment for bungie, hoping to read that interview
You can never please everybody.
Btw the water tech is still exactly the same as on Halo 3. If you read the Halo thread on Neogaf you would know that.

Dont know given there arent a lot of multiplayer with water in it should give forge a try. To see how it behaves just gonna drop a flat segment in the water just low enough so i dont die and drop items on that platform.
because powerhouse water interaction was kinda lackluster compared to Valhalla waterinteraction.
So what you're saying is that he's just guessing and we really can't take that as fact?

That's not what he is saying.
It really depends on the body of water you're in. For some reason some bodies of water in the game react differently to gunfire, running through them, etc...
Well if that's the case, then I don't see how so many people consider the water tech downgraded.
BTW thanks for finding the exact quote Al

Because its Halo, it has to have something to criticize, even if it looks fantastic.
Dont start again!
You know you don't have to read my post or reply them. You can just ignore them if it bothers you.
Frankly, it's the same for all titles here.
For Halo water, even if they use the same code (nothing has changed), it could still be a regression due to undiscovered bugs, or changed CPU allocation pattern -- assuming people saw a difference.
Then again, unless the player swim and fight in the water, it's not an issue at all.
Every game gets pulled up on its shortcomings here! And it's just a sad reflection on human culture, or certainly Western culture, that we tend to talk more about what's wrong in the world than what's right.
The overall DF artcile was very informative and I hadn't appreciates how gorgeous Reach was before reading it. It's quite the achievement.

You should go and try interact with the Reflection water. Go down to bottom mid where the sword spawns. I played around with that water for a little bit, and I found it pretty awesome compared to the other maps and the campaign. Maybe because that water is in sort of like a pond compared to the waterfalls. Well thats what I think....
I think the issue some have with Reach's water is that a lot of it in the SP campaign is mostly white, as if it was highly agitated or shallow or something. Whereas Halo 3's water was a more bluish color. At least that's how it seemed to me.
However, Forge World has some blue water and it look fantastic IMO.

Play Firefight on Legendary with unlimited health/ammo and fill the waves full ofElites, Brutes and Hunters and marvel at just how much this game can throw onscreen and still keep a playable frame-rate. I've not seen another game pull off such an impressive feat. It's like a colored light-source nerdgazm.
