Halo 3: Screenshot & Movies Thread [56k warning]

[Deepblue]

Sorry to bump the thread, but I was inspired by the "Halo 3: Best lighting in the biz?" thread on GAF. And for the most part the answer is yes, I think it is.

I'll take a few from floodgate and post those next. That is by far the best looking level in the game.

I'm not big on Halo 3 or anything but I ran across this video and it's pretty awesome:

Funny thing happened while I was playing co-op on my friend's 360. I need to get a video of it eventually...

Have your guys seen the video of the dude getting owned by a traffic cone in Halo 3? LMAO! Funniest thing I've seen. Bungie gave this guy the Recon helmet.

Yes it is.

Best of the Rest: Halo 3

Halo 3 gets a bad rap as a graphically underwhelming game. One which I think is quite undeserved. It has some very uneven spots to be sure, but when it hits its stride, boy does it shine.

There we go. Now if someone would be so kind as to post these in the GAF Halo 3 Screenshot thread, that would be dandy, I know a few folks there would appreciate it.

 

[Deepblue]

Damnit, that was supposed to be a new thread, but I suppose this is more appropriate anyways.

 

[Deepblue]

I take it this thread is pretty much dead then, huh?

Halo 3 used a double frame method for the HDR hence the low resolution to save on framebuffer space and processing power? I don't see why there was so much hooplah about making the HDR. I mean come on, is HDR that important of a graphical effect? No. It's nice to have, but to sacrifice so many other details in the process is completely unnecessary in my book. However I must have to say I do like the normal mapping on the Covenant vehicles, most notably the tanks. Very nice looking indeed.

In Halo 3's case, I think the trade off was more than worth it. Especially since games like CoD4 run in an even lower resolution.

I agree. The lighting in this game is amazing. I'm quite happy with Halo3 visual esp. given the scope and good framerate throughout.
