Even though I know the jaggies are real and are there, my TV (VGA connection) does a really good job at hiding them, for me personally the beta was pretty much jaggyless.

 

[Buttonbasher]

HAY GUYS!!!

I just read about 30 pages worth of stuff and now feel a little loopy.

Why do you feel loopy? Have you caught up with sleeps?

I have 1 sleep left.

 

[Y2Kev]

Jaggies are there but you don't notice them when you're trying to stay alive. Jerky framerate is what you tend to notice more than anything.

Jerky framerate?

 

[giga]

you'll see, so much jagginess that it impedes on gameplay.

Just like it did for me in the beta. ZING

 

[killakiz]

Jerky framerate?

yes framerate is jerky at times, but adjusting looks sensitivity helps a little bit. I just thought, maybe the jaggies are coming from play in splitscreen, which for some reason is in 4:3.

 

[_dd_]

PLAY THIS GAME ON LEGENDARY.

The AI isn't doing it for me on Heroic.

Legendary was insanely slow with one person. It was moderately fun with two people. It seemed just right with three people. It almost seemed too easy with four people. I suggest a 4 player co-op game with some skulls sprinkled in for some added difficulty.

 

[Xater]

you must be looking really fucking hard dude.

No as already mentioned I think they are pretty bad too.

Edit: I had no real problems with the framerate.

I've been slowly manipulating my sleep schedule for maximum Haloness come midnight.

I have never had my framerate drop below while playing a regular game. (Now a Game on Sandtrap with that flying elephant that everybody has been talking about, that's a different story )

 

[McBacon]

So when's matchmaking turned on, did the Bungie guys ever give an ETA?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

I have, I'm a bit critic of things like aliasing and Halo 3 does not display anything near the level you describe.

 

[LJ11]

Jerky framerate?

It's nothing crazy, but it drops below 30 in quite a few situations. Nothing game breaking.

I just feel that Heroic is kind of a cake walk, but that's just me.

 

[Kerm 1]

No as already mentioned I think they are pretty bad too.

What kind of display are you using? I didn't notice anything distracting on a 65" 1080P.

 

[killakiz]

Im talking about multiplayer splitscreen, havent touched story yet.

 

[Xater]

I would love to know that too.

I want to finally see everything of this amzing game.

 

[The Elite]

I have 2 sleeps left. I do have an EB Games right around the corner from me but I'm waiting for my Blockbuster preorder the next morning.

I feel loopy after my beer and projector night which included:

The last one has a weird Flood looking creature in it. Great movies!

 

[killakiz]

It just sucks that the screenshots at bungie show no jaggies at all.

 

[Xater]

37" 1080p. I don't know how you can not notice them. They are almost everywhere. Even your gun has alot of jaggies.

 

[Halvie]

They have 37" 1080p sets now?

 

[killakiz]

 

[Xater]

They have 37" 1080p sets now?

My Samung is.

 

[Blimblim]

Framerate is good, aliasing is definitely there at times though. The motion blur is excellent.
I only played (or saw someone playing) for 2 hours before I had to give the game back though, so I didn't get to see much. Enough for some good videos on the 25th (yeah, embargo is for the 25th for us europeans, isn't that great?).

 

[McBacon]

I want to finally see everything of this amzing game.

Yeah same... well more "I want to find something of interest in this boring game".

I'll save you guys the trouble:

 

[Xater]

Definately! I don't know if it was mentioned here before. It's used very well and more subtle than in other games.

 

[dante786]

It just sucks that the screenshots at bungie show no jaggies at all.

I played through the entire campaign, with three other people....myself and one others of these people are admitted graphics whores, or at best very critical. None of us had any problems whatsoever, and noticed no obtrusive jaggies whatsoever. In fact, i dont remember seeing any jaggies at all.

 

[Skuld]

Great medal, or greatest medal?

And here's the small version...

 

[Halvie]

Nice, smallest I have ever seen was 40 so thats why I asked.

 

[kittens]

I've been slowly manipulating my sleep schedule for maximum Haloness come midnight.

I was planning on doing this, but then an 8:30 AM work meeting got scheduled when I wasn't looking. Which sucks cause I don't normally work Mondays, so I'll be getting up for work just to attend that meeting.

I'll probably come home in the afternoon, chug some cough syrup, and knock myself out until 9:00 PM. :lol

 

[Shinraven]

It just sucks that the screenshots at bungie show no jaggies at all.

what he said. I bought an early copy and yes the jaggies are annoying. frankly Im disappointed. Mind you, I have the game, I feel no urge to play it or finish this story.

I can't help but feel a let down. all the damm hype, all the shots they shot.

I am on a pioneer Plasma, hooked up with a hdmi 360 so..yes My set up is fine.

I wont even go into how low rez the models look. Im not sure whats going on...but i feel let down. I am going back to call of duty 4 beta. :lol

Go play matchmacking. or try it on splitscreen, maybe thats where they are coming from.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Japan broke street date

This game looks fucking awesome

See you whiny hosers later THERE IS HALO 3 TO BE PLAYED

 

[Diablohead]

Going by the beta its one of those games that looks much nicer in motion and in videos then still buffer grabs, forza 2 is the same.

 

[Halvie]

what model number is it. Can't find a 1080p set on Sammy's site.

 

[killakiz]

Ive tried it on 1080P, 720 on my Toshiba hoping that would do something but to no avail, everything else is top notch.

 

[Lakitu]

Yeah same... well more "I want to find something of interest in this boring game".

I'll save you guys the trouble:

You don't deserve this game, give it to me.

So Japan's to thank for worldwide enjoyment to those who have it early.

Who knew!

 

[segarr]

Alright that settles it. I'm playing on Legendary by myself on my first playthrough. I blame those 35 year old mom "focus testers" for fucking the difficulty up.

That was a specific affront to Canada. I'm offended!

Jesus Christ, are you just going to moan about the damn game? Some of you are just pitiful. You're not playing the game coz of the graphics?

 

[Proelite]

Sarcasm or stupidity.

I take it M$ is going to puss out on enforcement there, but not in the USA?

I'm sorry?

 

[dante786]

I played on split screen exclusively man, no jaggies on anything close to the level you are talking about. Also I havent been able to play matchmaking, how did you? But i did run some games of forge with friends, no problems there either.

This is fucking embarassing, the game looks great, and it plays better. If you were ever a fan of halo I find it extremely hard to believe you could be let down by the gameplay on display here.

 

[Xater]

If you see no jaggies you have to be blind. I did a quick singleplayer picture with my digicam it's spoilerfree and shows nothing of interest. It's just to show how bad the jagies are compared to all the screens which show none at all:

http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa143/Xater_bucket/Halo 3/P9230043.jpg

That's what destroys alot of the beuty in levels with alot of vegetation imo.

Thats the thing, he doesn't mention gameplay, he mentions graphics. If it were gameplay, fair enough.

I havent played on matchmaking only split screen, is splitscreen in 4:3 for you?

I don't think anybody has ever "hyped" Halo 3 graphics. Apart from that, atleast play through the levels.
