The graphics of Halo 3 for the Xbox 360 are ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!
The Beta Test Version of Halo 3 had lots of cool parts, but the main "test," was with gameplay, not graphics. The Epsilon Test Version CLEARLY showed that the graphics of Halo 3 were FAR SUPERIOR to Halo 2 on the original Xbox. Even the new Windows Vista PC version of Halo 2 is still not even close to the Final Version of Halo 3 on the Xbox 360!!!
The Final Version of Halo 3 that has recently "gone gold," and entered production truly does have some of the BEST GRAPHICS we have EVER SEEN!!!
Currently, Gears of War is the game that people consider the champion in terms of graphics, but in many ways, Halo 3 has significantly better graphics than Gears of War. We need to remember that Halo 3 takes place in an outdoor environment that displays a LOT more detail with a LOT more polygons, much more color, and significantly more complex lighting.
But, I'm not here to do a Halo 3 "versus," Gears of War comparison...because as Xbox 360 owners we have the ability to play BOTH of those AWESOME games!!!
I'm just trying to point out that Halo 3 truly does have AWESOME graphics, and I am using Gears of War as a measuring stick to shown just how TRULY AWESOME the graphics in the Final Version of Halo 3 are, especially in the Story Mode where up to FOUR PLAYERS can play TOGETHER against the computer!!!
Look at this screenshot comparison of Halo 3 on the Xbox 360, compared to Halo 2 on the original Xbox. I will list hyperlinks, and I will try to show the screenshots, too. But look at how much INFINITELY BETTER the graphics of Halo 3 are when compared to Halo 2...Halo 3 on the Xbox 360 is AMAZING!!!

Today I am taking the time to post a Blog entry for the first time. This is an experiment.
I absolutely love the game called Mass Effect for the Xbox 360; that is the reason why I named myself SalarianChemist on this website. The Salarian race of aliens in Mass Effect are very intelligent, just like me! So, I decided to name myself after them.
