I know they're very different styles, doesn't mean they cannot be compared.

And no, it very much doesn't look like an MP5.

Bungie themselves have said Gears is a very good game graphics wise, but it is not right to compare it to Halo.

k?

Yes, but you can still say a game has better graphics then that of another genre/style. I know what I mean so leave me alone

I find this little story funny...

I was reading an article in the OXM magazine, and it was back when the 360 was still being developed, and originally had 256MB for memory, and not 512MB.
The President of Epic sat down with the dev team and showed them what Gears would have looked like on 256MB, as compared to 512MB.
Needless to day, MS pumped out another billion dollars into the 360 to get 512MB.

:p

Go Epic!

lol, not surprising. Did they show you ny screenies of it running with 256mb RAM?

No, no screenshots at that resolution.

I bet they don't want them to get out because then people would be all, "GoW sux, lawl."

Go Epic!

And the people who made the 360 dashbord UI liked the Halo 2 UI ( press Y for friends and such) so much that... well... what you see

-----------

Also... not quoting any one... but, I personally am amazed on how much talk there is and has been on how every thing looks, I.E "How bad it looks"

It boggles my brain.... Its an Alpha... Rarely ( if ever) do Alphas look good

Its an experimental stage... and for some reason, although I now stand corrected, I thought most gamers, or people who play games knew that.

In Halo 2 the Heretics were pretty much what all the elites are now (aliens going against the Covenant, presumably.) Considering there were heretic grunts and covenant grunts in Halo 2, there could very well be grunts on anyone's side now.

ur probably right.... but i like the idea of grunts being with elites

Halo 3 wouldn't be the same if the elites didn't have grunts around them...What happens if an elite dies? Who is there to cower away and scream run its the demon?

[quote="Frankie of Bungie Studios"]3. Brutes! Does this mean I will only be fighting Brutes in the next game?

Not at all. The Covenant society has changed since Halo 2
