Exactly, the hardware is beyond disappointing.

Can't really base your opinions of the Xbone on H2A, there are probably limitations when layering the code like they did with CEA. Whatever you say about Halo 4, it was a great looking game, so 343 know what they're doing in that department, I doubt they'd produce something that that looked below standards unless there were reasons for it.

EDIT: I am still a little concerned about them saying (if they did) that the games will no longer be 1080p, if anything just for the fact that I don't want to see them backpedaling on stuff this early on.

As stated elsewhere in this thread there's no backpedaling as of yet. If suddenly Halo 3 is 900p then people can make a huge fuss.

Exactly, the hardware is beyond disappointing.

What? I don't think that's the reason. Halo 4 is running at 1080p/60, for example.

It's probably poorly optimised.

 

[Prinz Eugn]

H2A already looks like a 360 game it didn't need a resolution blow too.

Sure you're not looking at the screenshots that Theater spits out vs. in-game ones? Because Halo 3 is pretty jaggy when you actually play it.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

So allegedly 343 might be backpedaling on 1080p for MCC?

Saw some talk in the other thread that all mentions of 1080p were replaced by Xbox One Visual Fidelity

Wow.

 

[Woorloog]

You know, why didn't Halo 3 theater enable full real team reflections for screenshots? The engine supports them but they're disabled due to performance issue, something that is not an issue for screenshots.

Also, i wonder if the MCC's Halo 3 will have full real-time reflections.

Pretty certain halo 3 and 4 are untouched outside of native res and frame rate upgrades.

I have no idea, but I would assume by the time they got to the release build it wasn't a switch they could flip on and off. It probably would've required some work to re-enable after all the other graphics fiddling they did.

 

[Woorloog]

Unfortunately. I reckon Halo 3 will show its age badly on Xbone. AA/High-res will help some but it won't mask the relatively low-poly models and stuff.
I think Urk or Frankie or someone once noted the code for real time reflections still exists in Halo 3, it just need to be enabled, if so, adding it would not be a big addition for the MCC (provided it is really that simple, which it probably isn't).

And this leads me to wonder if the splitscreen mode will look better on Xbone? 360 H3 splitscreen lacks some grass, water tesselation, has slightly less draw distance (i think), and some other graphical reductions, i'd imagine Xbone would not have any performance issues with full graphics on splitscreen.

To be fair, in a game like Halo, visual clarity is really important.

Oh, you mean that game series where one of the beloved entries ran at a 640p native render?

It did, but now that there's an opportunity for a super clean image, why not strive for it?

I know lol. Outcry over resolution on forums can be a bit excessive but I agree with most of what people have said. It's hilarious that some people consider sub-1080p a dealbreaker though.

 

[Orochinagis]

Didnt they are still announcing PS4 games announcements with the 1080p tag?

 

[BigShow36]

The most important aspect of the entire MC collection is going to be the stability of Halo CE online. I don't care if it's 30fps and not 1080p, I just care that I can play Halo CE online and not have it be an unplayable lag-fest.

Anyone have any idea how to get that armour lock achievement in the reach DLC? I don't even know what playlist to do??

Playing reach if anyones on

 

[Zeouterlimits]

http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=118025270

Thank you H-dawg.

Any surprise came from the fact it felt like they stated that every thing was 1080-60, for each campaign and every multi, pretty much locked.
Part of what was [is] so impressive to me was how confidently that was stated (or I felt like it was stated).

Ultimately I just want a very good looking and super smooth Halo 3 experience. Pretty much everything else is a bonus that I'll really enjoy.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Speaking of flaws of Halo games… anyone remember the part of Sierra 117 when the Pelican gets shot down over the dam? There's an audio bug with the Pelican pilot repeating a bit of dialogue correct? Or is she supposed to be saying the same thing the exact same way twice?

I don't think that was supposed to happen. Unless the 2 Pelican pilots were twins with a smoking problem.

Ok, making sure that wasn't just some sort of issue just with my playthroughs. Seems pretty obvious, guess it was low enough priority on QC it never got squashed.

Man, they really shafted Johnson in Halo 3 with all his getting captured and being incapable of doing anything without the Chief bailing him out.

Ah cool thanks. I have no idea what playlists even have defiant maps, won't be getting that last achievement so

Yeah I remember thinking it was weird but I just kinda dismissed it as some weird glitch or the VA having a laugh.

It was almost sad how little effect his punch had on that Brute chieftain.

Yeah though you weren't alone in thinking that was weird.

Forerunner structures went into auto-polish mode after the array went on standby in H2, obvs. It just wasn't complete by the time the events of H3 transpired.

I'd be fine with that, too. There are some Halo 2 maps that could be easily remade in forge, if the pieces are there. Burial Mounds, Sanctuary for example.

The specular response on materials in Halo 3 is really snazzy, though. Halo 4's materials mostly just have a "clean and smooth" look to them, although the interior of Reclaimer has some pretty neat cubemapping going on.

You know its going to happen =P The first xbox one engine based blood gultch remake? There is now way RvB don't have something in the works with this. It would be very hard to believe one of the most played btb maps to this day wouldn't be remade then revealed by RvB.

Yeah, it's a strange one [and very disappointing personally].
I guess there was a cost / popularity check and they're devalued now?
