Its the custom loadouts and AAs thing that shoots it in the foot IMO. AA? How will that make it worse, if anything it will look better. Armor Abilities. And a terrain editor would be spectacular. In fact, it'd probably consume all of the time I'd be spending in 3ds Max. So here's corssing my fingers they both have and don't have it. Ooooooh, thought he was talking about Anti-Aliasing lol

Seriously though, the xbox's graphics card shouldn't even allow it to have FXAA or am I missing something? I guess they can just cheat the graphics just like all the other console games. Sheesh, graphical innovation is limited by old console tech yet again... -Zekilk FXAA's a universal solution and really efficient. It should work fine on the Xbox is other graphics options are turned down just a tiny unnoticeable amount.

You have to realize the specs were powerful for their time, but its really, really old. What makes you think it could run FXAA? FXAA makes barely any impact on performance anyway, and I'm pretty sure Microsoft could easily persuade Nvidia to provide a re-coded version specifically optimized for Xbox due to the fact that the Xbox is only one hardware set unlike PC.

He might not have died....He has his ways...... Nah he dead(Pretty sure of it, unless he really didn't again and found a way to get off.)...... They could have cloned him? Idk. It would be pretty cool if in one of the flood levels you almost die from a swarm of flood in this deserty cliff level and he comes in right when you almost blackout or something and he saves you and then you wake up in some- .....nah that won't work.... Forget everything i just said.

Have you even read up on FXAA? Your talking like your a game developer, and your not.
FXAA uses 60% less processing power than normal AA engines... And do you really think a professional game studio would announce a technology if they don't think/know the console could handle it without framerate drops?

You know, there's a reason nVidia cards cost 1.6 times that of the competition. And like I said before, I'd like a source that states they think consoles can handle it. You should read the game informer article, where they specifically state that there is active FXAA being used in Halo 4.

Are you guys seriously having a nvidia vs amd discussion? If you really have any idea what you are talking about then you also know this is not the forum for that.

He gave his life to save yaddah yaddah etc etc, and I'd like it if they were keep it that way. An epic ending for an epic man.

The DMR looks like an L85a2 from BF3 lolol... And the Battle rifle looks TOTALLY different from any other halo games.... :/ The only thing that looks remotely similar is the shape... I dunno, it just looks completely alien to me :( Dissapointments.. Edited by xKRONNiKx on Apr 19, 2012 at 07:21 PM

I like most of what I've seen so far. It really seems like the team Frankie and 343 put together Wants to make Halo while bungie was obviously eager to try other things.
The only thing I don't like is this god ray setting. We couldn't even see the sky with these... and Skies have been a strenght of the Halo series so why occlude it? Maybe because at this stage 343i doesn't want us to see where everything is happening...
Also, RROD as of last week. Not sure if i'll play halo 4 before 5 comes out then!
