Yeah. If mine dies (which it apparently is going to do soon) I'm just going to complain until I can get one overnighted or some sort of voucher to go out and pick one up immediately.
best of luck, i used every available resource i know at ms, then had some friends that know people higher up and still no pull...

im extremely disatisfied with the process so far..i mean july my system breaks and i cant get a replacement by september...horrible
 
I keep hitting ctrl-F5 but no update :-(


You know, if they had put that bag full of schwag up for sell I think I would have bought one. Probably $700 though.
 
Is the game really jaggie city?

From everything I have seen of the game, the vidocs, the live presentations, it looked pretty clean to me. Also, the beta had jaggies, but I didn't think they were a huge issue.

So can you guys with the game sound off? How are the graphics? I know people hate when this question is asked, but I got to go?


I still am getting this game, regardless of what is said, but I am curious.

Is the halo engine really that big of a pile of shit that it can't handle any AA..How could gears look as good as it did online and Halo3 can't even get decent AA in single player.

Any chance of getting an answer besides stop trolling or they didn't want their game to look good(like gears)... least there is replay lol :(
Halo 3 has as much AA as gears.
 
I will pay for this shirt! Damn japanese!

No kidding. Compared to every other preview/review I've read before, this one comes completely out of left field. This is actually the only time I've read real negative impressions of Halo 3's graphics. Odd.

All games look bad if they don't look like gears of war.

See that? I don't even consider it worth capitalizing the G or the W.
 
Comics?! AWESOME. Didn't even think of messing tweaking my screens in Photoshop...

I'm going to make so many now that I know how to use photoshop.

Halo 3 is going to last me until forever.

This a direct feed screen shot, uncompressed. That's the amount of jaggies you will see during the game, at least in multiplayer.

GOT THE GAME.

NYC GAFfers: St. Marks Games (they're called something else now) got about 250 copies today. There were about 5-6 people always coming in or waiting to buy it, so they said they might sell out by the end of the day.

Thanks for this! It's right by campus so I just rushed on down, asked if they had it, and they did.

So far, the game is pretty sweet, I think it will get good scores all around. More importantly, I think single player Halo fans will love it.

Well my TV comes with built in AA. HD CRT FTW!!

Well I'm sorta screwed. I'll probably end up playing on a 17 or 19 inch CRT monitor.. that is 3-4 years old. But eh, I'll live.

Also, can someone point me in the direction of whatever info is available on Campaign scoring? (And may I also ask.. what is "OP"? ..Note: the "Junior" status.. cut me some slack..)

:/

The jaggies are really noticeable in that shot, I just want to know what people thought of the singleplayer in motion.
From the vidoc4.

You can notice some aliasing here and there but it's nothing heavy. Again, looks to be 2X AA. Can't judge from static images really though.

I think that picture looks horrible. Sgt Johnson looks really confused in that shot, plus his face looks kinda goofy.
These are all art though right? Not in game stuff. He looked great in the preview for the calibration tool.
