What is the best-looking HALO multiplayer map? With screenshots. Let's get some pictures of HALO on this page. You can include a rationale, but who wants to read when you can look at stuff

These are dark times....
Tempest is a purdy map indeed. Even tough playing on it can be rough, I'll always love Guardian.

Tempest does look nice. I don't think I ever played on it though because I bought the Reach DLC late in the game's life like a dummy and it was tough to get in DLC matches. Maybe one day they'll all be added to a certain pre-existing collection of Halo games.

same thing that happened to MCC
Nothing as far as I can tell. Anonomissx posted a risqué photo of the HGS girl, and that's it. It's been deleted and it seems like she's banned. Otherwise there was literally nothing else. Booties got banned and permed in another thread though. As for anonomissx, I wonder if she was permed for that as she was still a junior?

Halo 4 blah blah sucked blahcortanablah, however it had some good looking maps. Not the best map designs, but they sure were pretty!

What the hell am I seeing why are you posting a gif ripped from youku.
Naa, this was easily the best looking on the 360. The amount of foliage on that map was fantastic

Shrine is pretty gorgeous. Relic could be a real contender though based on those early shots.
obligatory cave screenshot
And off-topic, as I went to my Upload account to get this screenshot, I was greeted by this video on the top viewed clips on Upload. I honestly can't believe there are people like this.

I've been slowly making my way through all the campaigns in mcc and just got up to halo 4, seriously what magic did 343 do to get the graphics to look this good? Hard to believe its a 360 game

Teenage boys, man.
Yeah, I realized MS forces you to be signed into Onedrive to see screenshots. Just changed it to an Imgur link, which compresses it, but owell

Not even mentioning it was full 720p with AA and very stable 30fps, on 7 year old hardware.

That's typically how it works right? Junior bans are perm? Can't imagine she'd get to come back.
I was permabanned after was I junior'd and I came back. So not always the case.

I hadn't seen the thread all day so the Destiny/non-halo/HGS pic at the same time caught me off guard lol.

Booties was permed? Damn, man was an hero
Yeah, that picture was definitely not going to end well.

Monolith in H4 looks pretty gud
Because the game is a god damn janky ass piece of shit.
1-Modern high-quality content production pipeline.
2-Hacking out everything that made the graphics of previous Halo games unique, lively, and interesting. Low-quality specular, low-quality lights, weird stuff that looks detailed at a glance but ultimately looks blotchy/smeary, low-quality water, etc.
No magic, just a little bit of refined methodology and lots and lots of compromise.

Yes, if you don't play in split screen.
I agree, I think Monolith is definitely the best looking map.
Awesome use of coloured light to help players orient themselves, I really like 343's forerunner design with the train lines, really nice and quite dynamic sky box.
It even plays pretty well.
RIP in peace AnonoMom
I'll be sure to go to my room as soon as I get my One
Say what you will about the gameplay but Bungie had incredible art throughout Halo. Scenery porn was probably their go to in the break room.

I've got a special place in my heart for the Gulch maps but I'd say the prettiest is either Highlands or Tempest. Though the launch maps may have left a bit to be desired, Halo Reach's DLC maps were gorgeous.

lmfao, crushed.
Now that the laugh is out of the way, please accept this advice from one fan to another: Do not ruin the magic. Why? Because FyreWulff told me CE on XBL would never happen, but it did. There is magic left.
So now I must ask one rhetorical question because I think we all know the true answer to it:
Do you believe in magic?

i've always said it with the caveat of the actual original vs Halo PC. You may notice we still lack the actual original Halo 1 MP.

So uhm whats up with this written Bulletins? Can we please get this on time and on a solid date.
Its annoying when something like this comes out like a russian roulette.
Cant be that hard to provide more details. Transparency is something 343i sucks at the most.

They gave one barely over a week ago. Brav, who writes them, is out of town. You are just rehashing complaints we see every week. I see complaints three days after a blog post about transparency. If they have nothing to share, then they probably have no new updates to discuss.

I always freak out when someone posts things that is usually on Chinese forums instead of gaf. Guess I should calm down a big.

They had these two shots in a community update. I thought there were also a few brief video snippets somewhere but I couldn't find them.
Maybe someone else knows?
Edit: Best I could find was a video with some really, really insightful commentary

Welcome to the Xbox One, good sir!
Not sure about another beta. I think that's just speculation... Though it would be pretty cool, if true.
They haven't said when ODST will be released yet- at this point I'd assume we'll find out more either by the end of this month, and if not, it'll be an E3 announcement most likely.

They pulled a lot of tricks out to get the fidelity that high... Even to the point that cutscenes were rendered in-engine with in-game assets. There's a video of some of this:
Halo 4 - Playable Cinematics:
I'm not sure how they managed to shake the 360 for all of its lunch money, but man they sure did the damn thing.
Every game besides H2A cutscenes is done in engine though

Wasn't implying that it was the first or only Halo game to do so- there was a discussion from another thread (or was it earlier in this thread?) over if Halo 4s cutscenes were in-game or pre-rendered, due to how good they looked.
Thought it was cool to actually see this in action, as this dude literally runs around during the cutscenes Lolll.
They actually downgraded a few things in Halo 4 for the MCC. Like the water.
I honestly find Halo 3 to be the better looking game in 1080p though. Halo 4 looks really tacky in places. Especially some of the texture work. Can see where they had to make compromises because of the old hardware.

Was just about to post Monolith. Played it for the first time way back when MCC launched, that's some good shit. Gorgeous map, plays well with 3v3 Swat CTF.
