This just looks too dated for me
I'm looking to pick one coop game to play next weekend across 2 PC's when a friend visits next weekend. Right now I'm looking at Sniper Elite 3, Ghost Recon: Wildlands; Far Cry 5 or New Dawn.

I've never played Halo but I just thought of it, and I'm not sure if the coop awesomeness I read about would overcome the dated graphics.

Nope. Plus this port has awful latency issues in coop.

Ok, let some "outdated graphics" keep you from experiencing one of the best FPS campaigns ever made (Halo 2 and 3 specially).

Damn, if you think current Halo looks dated, wait till you see OG Xbox or PC Halo 1, lul.

Graphics look great to me, even more so now I'm playing in 1440p and not the native res it was on x360 (I'm guessing it was probably 720p, and I wasn't even using an LCD screen at the time but an old CRT)

Then again, I'll happily play something like Hard Drivin' so I guess my opinion is biased

Like Hard Drivin' !

Or virtua racing

Jeez, I feel sad now, just thinking all these people that would ignore something as god-like, like Virtua Racing or Daytona USA.. Just because of their graphics :steamsad:

Graphics look fine to me, and the game runs real well. Great choice for playing with friends and extremely customizable.

yes a game made in 2011 should have the best graphics ever!

Jesus what a time we live in. I remember people saying the same about N64 and SNES games when PS2 was out. Dude try to get into the depth of something beyond it's appearance it really opens up a bunch of different genres for you.

Game runs just as well as it does on Xbox and the graphics are not dated.
this game looks fantastic and could have easily been made 5 years later than it was. why is visual fidelity so important for you? are you incapable of judging quality in any other way?

Xbox exclusive from 2010... Its not gonna have EA graphics or anything but the gameplay is really solid and story is great.

Yeah frostbite engine looks nice n all, but I wouldn't use an EA game as an example of what current graphics are capable of.

I think games like Red Dead 2 and Metro Exodus are better examples of what we can achieve in graphics.

That said, it's not like graphics change that much these days, even Reach a game from 2010 isn't that much different looking then a modern game, its just missing a few extra visual flairs.. It's nothing like the leap in graphics we use to see

Not like the days where we'd see huge leaps with things like bump mapping, or dynamic shadows.. Those truly were the golden years.
