Is there a way to disable bloom/HDR in Halo 3???

[DENIS_Biomechanoid 🍑]

I loved how Halo CE/Halo 2 original graphics looked like - nice crisp and clean, but the first thing I've noticed when I started the Halo 3 campaign is how ugly that game looks.

Implementation of HDR and bloom is absolutely horrible in Halo 3.

Is there a way to disable it?

Don`t think there is, it is similar to most games with HDR, it isnt considered a graphics option and more like part of the game like the geometry.

I think it was only a game option when HDR was still new...

Wow, I can't believe Halo 3 originally came out two months before Crysis 1. That game on medium settings looks so much better than Halo 3 on max.

Eye-searing visual effects and low quality faces aside, the gameplay is quite fun in Halo 3.

Yeah, am I being unfair?
Is it objectively wrong to say that graphics of Half-Life 2, Crysis 1 and Halo 4 look more aesthetically pleasing than Halo 3?

From what I've played Halo 4 multiplayer so far, it's graphics look so much cleaner with HDR not being as intrusive and bloom not turning any light source into a permanent counter-strike flash-bang on your screen.

Halo 1 and 2 original graphics aged amazingly well, while Halo 3 looks godawful.
It's ok to be nostalgic, and Halo 3 has amazing gameplay, so I am not trying to take away your childhood memories or anything like that, I just freaking hate how the game looks when you are fighting in-doors.

I played ODST and Reach in multiplayer firefights and this issue seems to be localized to only Halo 3 for some reason.

Edit: Oh I just looked at your steam profile and reviews.

At least in Halo 4 it's not so dark in the middle of the room so that you can't even see were enemies are because HDR is freaking out.

And what is wrong with my profile?

You're comparing a game that was made primarily for the Xbox 360 with a game primarily made for PC.

1. that's not how Halo 3's HDR works, at all.
2. 200 hours of playtime in the past 2 weeks is insane.

Oh, you mean leaving your laptop on while a game is running is insane? lol.
