It looks clean, TOO clean, but Halo has ALWAYS had it's own direction to art, so saying it looks bad is just wrong. It's the best in it's style, definitely. It's graphics aren't comparable to CoD4 or Crysis when those are going for a more realistic way of texturing. Modeling could be a bit better in Halo 3, though.

shitty scans. It looks alright but everything else from COD4 to KZ2 shits on its visuals.

It will sell a bazillion copies though

I've always liked the art style of Halo. CoD4 does nothing for me.

There are obviously better looking games, perhaps technically, but artistically this game looks very good. Most FPS have 'typical' environments, but this Halo is looking VERY ORGANIC from the looks of things, which is what I loved best about the original.

cod4 looks like an upgraded version of splinter cell...not impressed.

Agreed. I'm not particularly impressed with CoD4 either, and I'm not sure why it gets so much praise. The CoD franchise has always been a run of the mill FPS to me.

COD4 is average.
But I have to say, in motion I don't think Halo 3 looks much better than 2. The animation seems largely the same and it wasn't exactly impressive last gen.

[Hans]

I was disappointed with Halo 3's animation, but the organic environments look really nice. Looks like they're aiming to go with what people loved of Halo 1, which is the proper direction.

Artistic design is more important than anything to me...which is why I'm not a fan of CoD4.

yeah, not sure why Call of Duty 4 is praised so much either, it seems more like it has a really good cinematography than the best console engine on the market
