Well you can argue that bungie didn't really want to push graphical limits with halo. The engine is built to run smoothly for gameplay, and the graphics are good enough. Halo 3 was a great game, and it traded off some graphics for gameplay elements. It was 640p and had jaggies, but kudos to MS for not forcing Bungie to focus on graphics first, as it wouldn't be the same game.

I understand...I'm just one of the minority that thought Halo 3 was Halo 2.5 with some cool online aspects added in. I personally don't think it was that awesome or addictive as most do, in the minority I know. Same with ODST, IMO that shouldn't have been a full priced game, but they get away with all this stuff because it's Halo. I just don't think Halo 3 was the ish like a lot of people do, I played it and got bored in a week, whereas other games really hook me.

I don't think you're in minority. A lot people liked Halo 3, but a lot of people also didn't like it. I thought it was good, but the multiplayer wasn't as addictive as Halo 2. What a feature set though. I agree ODST should've been priced lower, and while Bungie was playing along with the marketing, it's obvious they still didn't view it as a full priced game. You couple that with other stuff that took place when they were under the MGS umbrella, and it may be why Microsoft won't be publishing their new IP. Obviously, they can offer more money, marketing, and support, but with Microsoft, I think what Bungie wants is control. Either way, I'm excited to see what one of the most talented studios today comes up with free from the shackles of the Halo IP.

Same here. I love the Halo series and I still play Halo 3 (although MW2 has dominated my gaming time of late), but I am really excited to see what Bungie will do next.
