This might be the worst we have seen GAF. WE NEED A SITE WIDE INTERVENTION!!
Honestly looks like a map that is pushing the e-sports arena feel. Looks good though. Let's how the pacing of this game now that it has ADS.
I know, eh? Looks way too good to be in-game. Looks better than any game I've seen this gen considering 60fps! CGI quality at buttery frame rate.

This is what happens when you advertise betas like a demo though beta isn't even cool enough anymore and more and more games release "alpha" versions. Originally a (multiplayer) beta is supposed to help the developers by giving them the opportunity to test out their game in a environment that is close to the live version. Stuff can be unfinished and unbalanced. So no, a beta is not about figuring out how good the game looks and only to a certain degree about how it plays.
Come on guys, I spoiler tagged itI updated my post though. Wasn't a big spoiler btw. Very vague.
Oh thanks then, I now know the part of the film you spoiled wasn't important, more spoilers. Why do some people find spoiler tags impossible to use? You have to say what the spoiler is for before the spoiler, not too complicated.

Just arrived home and saw these at 1080p on my TV. It is not looking that awesome, but its looking pretty good! I liked that clean visual! And it is specially good taking in consideration that it is beta content, one year before release, and 60 frames per second. In movement it may be looking pretty damn great!

That's some GeoW 1 level graphics.
You do realize its super blown up.

Prepare to be tackled to the ground and shanked. You may not voice your opinion. Especially if it's good.

Aren't a lot of betas using low-res textures? not sure why some people are saying the game looks bad when its a fucking beta.
Exactly what I thought, the background reminds me of the next gen screenshots of Mirror's Edge
But can people actually wait for video gameplay to at least judge a little bit !!

Well at least the graphics are nice. That's someting.
heheh, well there are going to be areas where one game will probably perform better than the other but it's quite comparable. For starters I don't think Halo needs or will push as many particle effects as Killzone but a solid 60 fps, and 1080p resolution in Halo 5 will push it over.
Both games will be very comparable side by side, given similar aesthetics.
Haha, I am glad I am not the only one who thought the color scheme on the structures looked familiar.
Have you seen Killzone: Shadow fall? I think you need to take a look at the game again.

Yes but also keep in mind it isn't releasing for a year.
Yea we are talking about graphics not gameplay, put your fanboy shield down for a second
And shadowfall looks incredibly impressive, even for a launch title
Indeed. For now at least.

Doesn't sound particularly good and it isn't unfair to say that perhaps most peoples fears after the leaked footage last night were in fact justified.
Really need to see some lengthy footage before making a firm judgement one way or the other, but the signs aren't great...

This is what I'm thinking too. :/
Lol? IMO graphics wise nothing has touched killzone and ryse ignoring gameplay/framerates/openworld/ etc.

I would say this is very likely. Especially for a game that is a year away from release. And when you consider that this probably an old build (stable build, older than whatever they're working on now), it represents work that is almost definitely more than a year away from release.

I think people are expect too much graphically considering it is going to be 60 fps, and hopefully not Titanfall "60 fps".

If there were a playlist that operated as a classic Halo game (no ADS, no sprint, no spartan abilities) would you be more interested in the game? I would for sure

It's definitely beginning to look that way.
Anyway, I'm liking what I've seen and heard so far. Graphically the game looks fucking sweet. Halo has been stale for years so I'm glad 343 is shaking things up. Can't wait to give it a go in the Beta.

I think your getting a tad bit hyperbowl.
I mean graphics wise yes. Gameplay is another debate - the games are very different in that regard.

Not going to comment on the design choices as I have never played Halo online much, but I really like the art direction here. Very impressive graphics for a 60 fps game. The particle effects looked neat on the blurry videos too. Hoping they will make it 1080P - that clean IQ would look so good with this contrast heavy style.
Looking forward to the beta!

I thought they confirmed 1080p?

Killzone thread? Killzone thread.
Only 60fps. They have not talked about anything else yet.

Sure looks better then Killzone ...
Considering killzone doesn't even look like that and does not run at 60fps, I have no idea why you post such trollish stuff.

If it is a case of worst fears confirmed, at least we'll have Halo 2 and 3 to enjoy for the rest of the generation.
It'll be a shame about Halo 5, but I won't lose any sleep. I'll still try to enjoy the campaign and then head straight back to MCC for my multiplayer fix.
In SP it looks quite close.

People suck.
looks decent
Those images don't do the game justice I am sure. We all should learn by now that the games look much better than that on screen. So expect what you see there to be more sharp, detailed and vibrant.
Same here!
No.
