Although you've probably seen some of this in the leaks, the video quality is much better.

Cool video but I thought or hoped the graphics would be better. Like GOW but Halo game play

Looks pretty good to me considering how much will be going on.

Looks good to me. I'd guess the final graphics should be pretty similar.
I guess I'm of the opinion that they can "either make the maps & game really small, but with great graphics or make the maps expansive with lots of action, but sacrifice a bit on the graphics". That being said, without a doubt it's a huge improvement over halo 2 & halo 1.
I noticed he was getting a lot of 1 shot kills. Is this just because he's good or because the weapons are overpowering?

exactly.. We already have 2 major releases this gen that show that as well. Gears and Resistance.

Yep. I expect H3 to have better graphics than resistance, although the multiplayer & max # of players should be similar in scope (although vastly different in gameplay, physics, and focus).
Of the two styles, I pick the larger scope. I have fond memories of the original halo, not to mention I still enjoy playing R:FOM.

Textures already look better IMO, but that is what I expect the final game to look like as well for textures. Not sure if they'll have 40 players and the same level of physics though. Would be sweet if they did.
I'm really curious about the campaign, nothing has been shown yet right?

I've never cared for halo campaign. The multiplayer is where it's at.
I'm more interested in the vehicles. lol

Same here, I'm just hoping they'll make a worthy campaign for once. Halo:CE online is much better than Halo 2 imo and it wasn't even intended for online, lol

4 player campaign would be awesome, but I wouldnt bet on it being in the final game. That changes the campaign significantly having to plan for that. As for graphics.....they look good I think, not to mention this is the beta, and certainly not the final product (although Im sure pretty close to what we can expect). Looks like some good old fashion, higher resolution Halo to me which is a good thing.
That beta video looked good. Not Gears quality as of yet but there is time. So I noticed that there is a laser gun and a grenade launcher. I wonder if Master Chief will have a chance to use these weapons during the single player mode. And I have to wonder if the people that guy was playing against 'allowed' him to get that many kills. That dude was straight up crazy!

Not sure what you guys are looking at but I think the graphics look top notch, especially compared to H2.
Even if the final product ships will less then optimal graphics (even though I predict the game will look great) I could care less.
Pretty textures, backgrounds, etc., look nice but let's face it, the novelty of pretty maps wears off in time.
It's the gameplay, map layout, gametypes, and customizability that keeps me coming back.
I hope there is an answer for that laser gun. It looks like it could be a huge factor.
No CO-OP over Live in H2 was a MAJOR disappointment. I hope H3 has at least 2 player and I am praying for 4 player (though, I won't be holding my breath).

That was awesome, simply awesome. I loved it. The graphics are looking good, the weapons are awesome. Loved the sound effect when he was loading various weapons, very nice. The maps looked good. The new weapons where cool, the new grenades where excellent. The graphic on the exploding plasma grenade where fantastic. Can't wait to play this!
