Yeah, a lot of the maps in Halo 4 seem overly complicated. One of the reasons I like Valhalla.
got a good link to changes between beta and retail? I played the beta but after that I didn't buy Halo 3 until a little bit before Reach came out
I'll do some stills first. I can even see the difference in the main menu when I switch modes.
One of the PXAA variants, probably. According to Durante's stuff, it uses a more careful filter than FXAA implementations tend to.
TPXAA is just PXAA which samples information across several frames to help decide where the aliasing is.
Yes. I know some don't like Valhalla but it's not really pointlessly big. It's got nice exit routes, clean sightlines. Decent spawns. And the only eye candy is the water, trees/foliage, and the crashed pelican which doubles as a vantage point.
I liked the way it looked in Halo 3 though. Someone posted a gif of it a page or two back, and I forgot how colorful and clean it looked.

I so miss the days when this used to be Xbox's and Halo 2.
):
I suck at CoD in PS3
):
yes please.
BTW, are you capping it as a 720p stream from the xbox? It's probably a good idea to minimize all the extra scaling that happens to Halo 3 with a dashboard forced 720p, or maybe even lower...

who is the person responsible for putting grenades in the Snipers playlist? Who could be so dense as to think that is a good idea?

Isn't it only in Shotty Snipers? I try to avoid that gametype whenever I can.

I wonder if people still play BF: 2142. That was my SHIT back in the day. I aint for this BF3 tip
Now that I know about ordnance re-rolling in Fiesta, it's all I notice. No wonder half the players have incineration cannons and rockets all the time. Really ruins a map like haven.
Hopefully they can fix this. It's a decent gametype to just screw around in.
But I don't see anyway to fix it unless they got rid of user selected load outs. And then you'd have people complaining that they can't jetpack, they cant use their camo.
EDIT: Damn Fyre, those screenshots bring a tear to my eyes. Such a simple map and it looked so good. The only thing I hated about it was having to use an assault rifle sometimes.

Is there only AA on? Any sharpening? I wonder what it would look like if halo 3 didn't also scale 640p>720p? Maybe going sub-hd would show the difference better, but at that point its a bit useless. I wonder if it can do anything to offset the effects of the scaling?

I actually rarely run into people using camo. I expected to see more, especially since there's no motion sensor.
Or maybe that's why I don't run into them...
But yeah, I hate Jetpackers using the Incineration Cannon. I can never get them without a precision weapon.
I have so many PC games I need to finish now because of sales. Need to play:
Bioshock
Bioshock 2
Just Cause 2
Pay Day: The Heist
ARMA 3
Assassins Creed 3
Dead Space
Dead Space 2
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Battlefield:2142
I can't pass up on these deals. I need to stop wasting money.

It seems (as predicted) that things near the center of the screen, like the BR scope, fare better than objects near the edges of the screen. This would make sense as the center pixels would be less stretched than the top and bottom pixels to get to 720p.
edit: oh I didn't know there were more options. Hold a bit..
edit: this seems to be my options:

The bridge on abandon to top mid looks like shit, looks better with ptbi.

I've run into a few people using camo on fiesta on abandon. It's primarily jetpack though, maybe pro-vision or thruster. I don't mind rockets as much because it's harder to kill, but the incineration cannon has such a wide shot and even if they miss, the huge splash damage is sure to kill you. Coupled with dexterity, it's just too much.
I'm routinely given speed boost, scattershot or grav hammer and I have no chance lol.

Not really. Objects in screen-space are stretched when closer to the edges of the screen by perspective projection, but that doesn't affect pixel distributions. Most scaling methods *should* affect all parts of the screen basically equally (in some cases, aside from a few pixels at the very edges).

and I guess whoever built Ragnarok forgot to put the part in where you don't spawn with someone else looking at you. Got spawn sniped six times in a row without being able to move off my spawn. GG 343.
Oh, there's a button hidden that automatically goes through and caps a shot in all the different AA modes, that would have sped things up earlier..
Reminds me of how I fixed this particular exploit for Shutout Snipers, then the map goes into matchmaking with it's original spawns.. and I get spawnsniped in a loop in the specific spawnpoint that I deleted to prevent it from happening in my first game on the map.

Forget the EA sale, get Bastion for a buck (or more): https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly
FACT.
^Well, yea...
...But the question is, which Halo?
Happy Birthday.
(Hopefully more.) I thought it was cool how they show you this if you go lower:
And the counter breaks when you try and donate >$999999999999999999999, as I do...

Okay, I've turned on "Gamma Correction" and "Local Contrast Enhancement".. basically every effect is on now that this thing supports. I still don't see any perceptible delay between my TV and this program's output. All enhanced shots are Adaptive Lanczos scaled.
I decided to use the Sword this time since the angle of the weapon should show some aliasing.
Heretic time:
No enhancements at all:
edit: whoops... guess I moved for this shot
NoAA
FXAA
PXAA
TPXAA

It's fairly diagonal. If you want to see really nasty aliasing, you pick an object that just barely doesn't line up with your pixel grid. This is why SGSSAA, which uses weird diagonal sample patterns, can provide better results than OGSSAA for the same number of samples. Sampling off your pixel grid helps a lot.
Domino Theory
Crystal Dynamics
How is TWD game? It sort of came from nowhere. Is it just your average linear, 3 hour FPS?
There are differences, but they're mostly subtle. To see the biggest ones, look at the Standoff images, and compare the base in noAA to the base in FXAA. Look at high-contrast edges that are near-vertical or near-horizontal.
Part of the issue with all this is that much of Halo 3's ickiest aliasing comes from thin line highlights and such, which isn't going to be dealt with by any currently-existing post-process AA technique. Don't expect perfect results!
what the hell you just made me bump a 6 month old thread.
Put these two in different tabs and switch between them:

That's the Lancozos Difference (tm)

me'n either
I was switching tabs before, it was barely noticeable if at all. (to me)
The menu does look nicer though
Hahahaha nice
