Halo: Reach Goes Gold; New Screenshots Inside

[skittle]

I tried the beta and hated it. However after playing modern warfare for a few months and witnessing the broken damage system, I look forward to a refresh of Halo.

Gues I'm just one of the few that never thought halo was very good.

I wish it was for PC =(..I sold my 360 for a graphics card few month after halo 3.

[citation][nom]hillarymakesmecry[/nom]I'd buy it but then I know they'll try to sucker me into buying some stupid overpriced map packs in 2 months. Then it'll get to the point where they disable certain game mode for me because I don't have their stupid map packs.I HATE required, overpriced DLC.[/citation]

your mistaken halo with call of duty...halo maps usualy becomes free after a relatively short time (back when i was playin halo 3) i cant wait for halo reach aand hopefully the books and games will continue under microsoft

[citation][nom]mlopinto2k1[/nom]Still dislike the picture viewing method, here on Tom's.[/citation]

I've already sold my old nearly original 360 pro console (no HDMI) and put in a pre-order for the halo reach console on amazon with release day delivery.

[citation][nom]f-14[/nom]is it just me or do some of these look hand drawn?[/citation]
That's what you get as graphics on consoles ...

 

[cekasone]

Give me a PC version please.

 

[Darkerson]

I would be mildly interested if it was going to come out on PC, but we all know that isnt going to happen...

[citation][nom]ksampanna[/nom]That's what you get as graphics on consoles ...[/citation]There is one picture I noticed that looks drawn, the last one. Otherwise, I personally think these screenshots really show off some graphical prowess. I've seen GOOD GRAPHICS and this definitely looks good.

 

[mlopinto2k1]

I believe there is a "grain" effect being utilized in the engine. I like it.

Looks okay but graphics haven't progressed much since Halo 3 IMO. I guess more signs that consoles inhibit gaming development - I'll get my dose of graphics with Crysis 2.

So many damn console haters on this site. Believe or not, Halo and xbox made multi player gaming for what it is today. I dont have exact figures but I can maybe promise that there is more people playing consoles and xbox live than people playing any game on a pc(except WOW or possibly starcraftII).

All Im saying is stop thinking your elite because you choose to game on one particular system or be a fanboy. All your doing is limiting your choices. I have a beautiful i7 gtx 460 sli machine,360,and a PS3. You see how that works? I have a choice and dont play fanboy to camp.

You can think your elite and talk about halo but you should really respect what the game has done and what a CONSOLE has done. I for one with all my systems and choices, I cannot wait till Reach comes out. Ive already told my wife that she will have to stay at her friends on launch day.

The engine is all new from the ground up. If you played the beta(as I and many others have), you would see first hand that there is a graphical improvement. But seriously we are talking about a 5 year old graphics setup. How much more can it improve?

I bought the halo 3 special addition xbox 360...and it didnt even come with the game...gotta love it. The only reason i got it was it was only like 20 bucks more than the regular one and had hdmi.

 

[Joecitizen]

[citation][nom]Kinthalis[/nom]Lol, some of these screenshots are 1080p with no aliasing. These are NOT what will be running on the xbox. They look to be running on their PC developer's toolkit, or pre-rendered, or maybe cutscenes?[/citation]
Actually yes it is, its just that when you take a picture using the in-game system it renders it at a higher res and with AA. Same system was in halo 3

You act as though you have never been on Toms expect us to hate on consoles.

The number of players thing, Well that should be no surprise, how many 12 year olds can afford a Gaming PC? Not much eh!

Nobody is thinking that we are elite, we are just thinking that consoles suck! played them and it was fun when I was 12 yrs old, but you know what happens when you grow up.

One more thing I will never respect a console only the games on them, if they are good..., MW2 was not good, just though I would throw that in there.
