Love them.

I wish the game was brighter like previous Halo's though...

We need a madness to the method!

Excellent. Far surpassing of Halo 3, something to be proud of.

I think they look amazing, just wish I could really get a chance to just run around looking at stuff, but I'm constantly getting shot up.

I love to help people with problems they are facing in their lives. I will go out of my way to help somebody, even if I don't know them. It's what I do.

The graphics are incredible, given it's just a Beta. High hopes for the Fall release!

There seems to be a lot more detail in texture and polygons, but the graphics kinda look like those of halo 3.

It could be a lot better to be honest, but i'm not so worried about graphics. I think it's much better if they take the time to worry about the gameplay, which I think is pretty solid so far.

Though some things could look a little crisper, and the maps, some of them do look super bright, but that can be adjusted in the audio/video bar thing. Overall, not too shabby.

I love the darker nature of the game. Halo 3 looked like a cartoon compared to this.

Am I missing a leg, or did I even have it to begin with?

My pet peeve: If you're going to quote me, do it right. My words of epicness don't belong to anyone else but me.

No I don't have any Beta codes. Sorry :(

Graphics are a huge overhaul for a Halo game. I hope to see them more polished in the future.

RIP Paperguy - Halo 2 Account, I'm a vet.

They're perfect. Just a few minor glitches here and there that will be fixed when the game is polished. I already reported one in another thread, the damn clip won't upload to my fileshare though sadly.

My only beef is that shields don't represent well enough when each shot is registering on your opponent. Halo 3 represented this very well with the whole "light up" it did on the players shields when the shields where being shot at each time.

Now when I shoot a DMR shot I can't tell the difference between if I've hit 1 or 3 shots on a guy...this needs to be tweaked.

Besides this, sometimes spartans/elites blend to well into the background, especially on Invasion when Elites are spawning at the top of the Ship...

They remind me of Halo CE'ss... I like em.

I'm loving the graphics. Just hope Bungie puts in a more "rugged/used" look to the Spartan armor come Fall.

The last thing you'll see is the bump of my Warthog.

Secondary weapons merging with jetpacks? It's ok I guess. Try to think of something, Bungie.

Great graphics, but they lack the "polishing shine" seen in other halo games. (Especially on covenant weapons, covenant vehicles etc.)

Edit: Halo has always had a special graphics design (very artistic with bright colors.) Because of the lack of shine, the graphics loses it's "wonder/excitement/etc."

(What I'm saying is a bit hard to explain,but if you get what I'm saying, I hope you relate.)

Graphics are looking good, but I'd like an option to turn off motion blur in the final game. Any chance of that happening?

i like them a lot. the only thing i would say is please tone down the radiant bloom effect or whatever you call it when everything looks like you're seeing it through the eyes of a person who just woke up in the morning.

also, do you remember how frankie was bragging during H3's beta that the air has particles now so things far away look kind of foggy? please limit that as much as possible. i loved how halo CE was crisp. i don't know if that word translates properly, but the environment just felt crisp, in a good way. I know you love sticking little details everywhere, and blooming and fogging your way to realism, but it starts to look cluttered. keep it simple and crisp. thanks for listening.

oh, and really, everything looks beautiful as is, i'm just giving you my suggestions to make it even better.

The graphics are good, very good. The gameplay is suited for the game's appearence (if that makes sence). I just wish the gameplay was smoother (no armor lock) so the lack of frustration and high amount of smooth gameplay is more likely to make the player notice a good gameplay/graphics balence.

Please check out my youtube! I post some pretty cool videos :) www.youtube.cm/user/e1emayoh

They really do look amazing, I played some Halo 3 custom games and the guns seemed cartoony compared to Reach, great job Bungie!

they are amazing for a game compressed down to 1 mb.

This was the first Halo game where I wasn't blown away by the graphics. I think they reached their peak success in Halo 3 and it will be hard to top that.

I thought it looked exactly like Halo 3, say for a few extra details in the guns...That I don't look at.
