Grass looks so good!

3D GRASS :D Looks like it's being blown by the wind like Stinkles mentioned.
 
I look the look of the scope on the sniper rifle when its not zoomed in, that night vision-esque look is great. I was impressed how much better zanzibar looked now, especially for a remade map. This game is gonna be awesome. So close to that beta haha cant wait :D That red laser gun looks like its gonna be a blast to use as well.
 
I'm liking the 3D grass, mainly because it does the job of hiding boring textures and because they're actually puting it over the ground. I always roll my eyes when I see Devs talking about how they've got 3D grass and when I come to play the game they've been really selective and the 3D grass turns out to be in blotches in a few area's over the map. Basically, if they managed to suceed in having High Ground of Vahiilia (spelt wrong I know) covered in alot of grass it'll sure look nice.
 
Zanzibars been rejigged for the mongoose, all the platforms look like the perfect width for mongoosery! Looks like you can almost go anywhere on it. This is gona be fun :D...

Foreground rock looks like shit. The game looks good, but there's not much to drool over, to my eyes.

What is this gun?


Brute Pistol. Look at the weapon info in the top right corner of the HUD.
 
Video has good lighting, looks nice and clean.

Not impressive but it's rock solid, i do hope that single player impresses though!
 
that looks a lot like halo 2, but that's probably because of the quality of the vid.

i need to see hi-def videos
 
Video quality isn't great, but yea looks like a higher res Halo 2. Other than that it seemed pretty good

Brute Shot, the one with double blades bayonet.
As everyone has said, it's the Spiker.

The "Brute Shot" is the grenade launcher from H2.

So what separates the Brute Spiker from the sub?
Among other things, the Spikers spikes bounce off of wall etc to go around corners and cause damage.

Does it look worse in the video? I don't understand...
It looks better in motion, although I´m missing effects like motion blur. I´m talking about the hand picking of ok looking scenes for screenshots, it´s understandable though.
 
The video resolution is at 720 x 480 which isn't HD... The footage will look much better if seen in 1280x720p HD mode.

If you look at his posts in this thread, he's obviously trying to say it looks bad, without actually saying it looks bad.

It's hard to take good screens because of the heavy interlacing (those weird horizontal tv lines) in this video

Oh snap, looks like Stinkles forgot to tick the "Environmental Decorators" tickbox before pressing "Compile"







just kidding, this looks awesome. Can't wait until mid May!
 
We have already had the HI res H2 coments which many of these low res stills posted just instantly disprove. This level is way beyond the level in H2 you can directly compare them and its a huge jump. Maybe its just me?
 
They've upgraded the BR model, loving the night vision scope on the sniper and the HOG looks all dirty and shit. Cool. Water looks nice but I'll wait to see it in motion.

Actually I´m saying it doesn´t look good (with exceptions) but also not totally bad. Lighting in outdoors areas looks good.
 
Looks frigging great! But not amazing. >_<

Was hoping the Beta would look mildly better but it does look hella better than the Alpha!

And I still got high hopes for the final game to look hella amazing.

Oh sorry do you prefer screenshots that show nothing like this?




Really, what kind of comment is that?
