Halo Infinite vs Halo 3 - Direct Comparison! Attention to Detail & Graphics! PC ULTRA 4K

[@thatonedude671]

Halo 3 is almost 15 yrs older. In 2007, I'd never have imagined progress to be this little in 2021, and even some downgrades.

[@leeham6230]

Games aren't made like they were back in the late 2000s. The industry has min/maxed the process for minimum development time, and maximum profits. Halo 3 was something truly special because the developers were given every resource imaginable to create this game, including time.

[@bobbobbins4877]

​@@leeham6230, it's simply not true that Bungie were given the time they needed. It's well documented that Halo 2 went through development hell, with Bungie having to significantly scale back their ambitions due to time constraints. At least a third of the campaign had to be scrapped, hence the cliffhanger ending. Halo 3 was in development for less than 3 years. Bungie still managed to put out a product that felt complete and introduced lots of new features. Compare that to Halo Infinite, 6 years in development, 8 years if you include the ongoing post-release updates. Yet the game is still missing features that should have been there at launch. What the hell have 343 been doing for 8 years?

[@paper9362]

@@leeham6230 343 was given 8 years and $500 million. That is the highest budget of any game and nearly triple the time of Halo 3's development. They have 0 excuses, that studio is a joke.

[@thomast626]

@@bobbobbins4877 That is true about Halo 2 in particular. I'm no game developer but I really do believe that the number one reason for some of Halo Infinite's shortfalls (and I think this is true for countless studios and their games up to this point for Series X and PS5) is the multiplatform game delivery system to make it run on Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Series S, Series X AND PC - in a way that was considered acceptable in terms of quality for each system. Halo 4 and Halo 5 obviously didn't have this issue and although Halo 5 may have had its launch issues...the game that it became was an extremely well-rounded package. Underrated campaign (imho), 4-player multi-character co-op, multiplayer, Theater, Forge, Firefight, boatloads of customization from armor to vehicle varieties to assassinations, etc. and what I believe to be Halo's best multiplayer mode ever in Warzone (sure hope it comes to Infinite, if not a Battle Royale mode at some point). I think if Halo Infinite had strictly been exclusive to Series X|S and PC and thus been purely optimized for a complete next-gen experience, you would've seen not just a graphical / performance leap, but a more abundant feature-set. I think Microsoft and Sony's decision hamstrung a lot of developers by doing something that's never been done before with console releases, making games playable on multi, multi-year hardware instead of strictly for the brand new hardware. Perhaps I'm wrong, but that's how I viewed it before Infinite even released and that's how I view it today, so I do cut 343 some slack because of the games that Halo 4 and 5 turned out to be when they didn't have this development conundrum. All this being said, I still commend 343 for listening to fans after their debut campaign demo and polishing up everything they could. It's still a beautiful game. It's crisp, clean with good overall texture detail as you can see with the overall look of the landscapes in Infinite vs 4 & 5. Spartan models are easily the best they've ever been, despite your thoughts on armor coatings. If they'd just get some new BTB maps out there and a Warzone 2.0 or Battle Royale soon, that'd go a long way in spicing up things on the multiplayer side of things for Infinite. Just my two cents, respectively. Feel free to disagree ; )

Any other company would’ve gotten destroyed by now if they release as many messed up games as 343, I think it’s time for this company to make other Spartan IV spin off games with advanced movement and another team can just make the classic formula game with respect and tribute to the originals and no dumb or unnecessary changes! Everybody wins!

[@MediQate]

@@343ishill The game has been officially out for like 2 weeks and the multiplayer has been out for 6 weeks, of course it should still have a decent player base especially after 6 years of waiting for another game and 10 years since the classic artstyle and formula. Regardless for what you may think shill, this game is dying already and has major issues like crashing 6-7 times at their first championship event ON LAN, delivering a good but underwhelming/short and limited campaign, terrible custom games, no server browser, few maps, horrible hit registration/desync and to top it off, dumb leadership and executives calling the shots and allowing something as stupid as armor color monetization affect their first “successful” game. New company should come in or be made from employees of 343i that prefer the classic games as well as other devs that understand what made the originals so successful and 343i could stay and make their UNSC/Spartan IV War Games Simulation multiplayer game like Halo Online and monetize that to hell so their fan base that doesn’t care much for customization and only cares about playing for fun can have their free to play Halo with Advanced Movement. Classic fans would gladly pay $70-80 for a COMPLETE multiplayer and campaign without all the BS excuses that you or they try to come up with. You make the game free to play to “allow more people to play the game” but then you make an inferior product that’s supposed to last years? This 2021 game was made to be able to run on 2013 hardware, now that’s an excuse for sub par graphics/physics but at least they can sell basic shit that used to be unlockable and part of the games because they “gotta make money somehow” on the game they decided to make a free to play game without anybody wanting that from them besides money hungry morons that don’t care about the end product or the means of getting that money, enjoy the bumpy road.. 👍🏻

Halo 3 is much smoother in vehicle driving. Infinite is more rigid, and some vehicles are just too big for it's environment entirely. Their is a overall better understanding of weight in halo 3 than infinite.

[@tamezzodiac2862]

Not even that just grip in general. Halo infinite the vehicle seem to have magnets to the ground so they go over a tiny rock and come slamming down on it trying to keep control or something. They have insane unrealistic speeds and the list just goes on. They also ramp up everything doesn’t matter the angle they somehow still drive over everything and u can control them in mid air. Just the physics for vehicles started to kinda fall off in 4 especially the mongoose then in halo 5 they really fell off and now vehicles are so bad they are unenjoyable to even use.

Halo 3 was polished and well designed. Infinite had more than double the time but is still half a game. I think 100% of the fault lies with the directors.

Halo Infinite looks worse in manny ways because it’s open world and Microsoft refused too invest more money into the game id still argue Halo Infinite would sound and look overall better even if they did this but I’d probably still opt for a linear game like Halo 3 because of the overall experience of the game looking sounding better as well as the difference in game play experience and cutscenes.

[@R0NThaDon]

The granade bouncing in the sand just pisses me off man. The bullet shells in 3 and the shaking compared to nothing at all on infinite is so embarrassing

[@comorbiddisorder]

Damn, I guess the Warthog Chief got slammed into by Atriox was from Halo 3, it barely moved at all even though Chief weighs over a thousand pounds.

[@davemac9563]

You can tell the game was rushed. I don’t think it looks terrible but I didn’t expect it to look worse than Halo 4 even

[@Calvin-r93]

343i - Halo at its core is competitive. Bungie - Halo at its core is casual/social more detail.

[@Calvin-r93]

I do like the 343i gravity hammer animation. Feels more powerful.

[@baileybootz5091]

can i use some of these clips in a video?

[@tamezzodiac2862]

Halo 3 did so much on that dated console. Stretched the limits of everything possible and it’s apparent if u look at how much they did and how better and more detail they had then every other game at the time. Halo infinite hasn’t done anything in that aspect. Has terrible physics and is just lacking and does nothing really special and feels kinda like a mix between other games and it just gets boring and stale after some time. Halo 3 truly revolutionary for its time halo infinite not at all just another game to fit the current market.

I really like Halo Infinite’s gravity hammer. The wind up and swing makes it feel so heavy and have such a massive impact. Just wish it carried over that heaviness to the physics. Gravity hammer jumping is so little still and I hate it

[@The_Gamers_Gamer]

Needler isn't even close. Infinite 1 sounds and fires nothing like the original.

[@ASRMN27]

Why does the infinite banshee sounds like a machine gun but it’s firing plasma lol

[@LetsCommentator]

Haven't anyone noticed there's only almost bots here?

[@flightkidd123]

Good physics =more immersion=more time wanting to play said game halo infinite lacks in that

[@Justfillintheblank]

Oh, come on. Halo 3 is the best halo, even beating out Halo 2 in some areas. Best physics, sound design, art style, and gunplay. Infinite lacks in all of that besides art style. I mean, my GOD, the infinite gravity hammer sounds so weak compared to Halo 3. Vehicles handle so much better in 3, more realistic physics, etc.

[@zanix81]

I personally think halo reach had the best art style, but halo 3 is truly king when it comes to gameplay

[@allansrt04]

Halo infinite:more gráphics less details

[@zechariahpalie1435]

What do people mean when they complain about the physics in Infinite? I really don't see the issue here

[@neovssmith19]

The water particle effects and the way the trees and grass react to the wind is better in halo 3

[@Justfillintheblank]

Physics...like grenade tricks that you can do in Halo 3, that aren't as easy in infinite (the way grenades bounce off walls/floors and stuff). The way driving works, and how impacts/collisions work, how the gravity affects the player, etc.

[@davidross5640]

halo 3 is fourteen years old, and its directly comparable and even better in a lot of ways... for a tenth of the budget... these fools are damn disappointing...

[@emersonalexsander1188]

el 3 es mejor obvio en el infinite esta muy seca la cámara al conducir

[@cheporestrepo]

Halo 3 graphics in overall>halo infinites

[@muiscnight]

14 year difference aye.

[@justinsanders2506]

The difference in the grenade bouncing has been fucking me up since I started playing infinite. They go way too far. Can't get good. Lol.

[@MrML4L]

Everyone keep in mind this is not release halo 3 on a xbox 360. not a fully fair comparison.

[@superduperjew]

halo infinite almost looks like an xbox 360 game tbh

[@sean7332]

The sword looks so ugly in infinite

[@lemonke1709]

*sounds

[@machineferret3359]

Basically bungie vs 343 and Bungie won got just admit it bungie the ones who created halo actually made a great game put time and care in it really felt like you was in another world with aliens and ancient achitecture

[@anguschen6124]

They should remaster Halo 3 someday

[@liamkisbee8117]

By the looks of it in comparison to infinite and games like battlefield 2042 and vanguard I don't think it needs one lol

[@casualcadaver]

Just play in 4k, a lot of aspects of Halo 3 already look better than Halo Infinite.

[@Thatoneuser777]

Halo 3> infinite. It’s not even close tbh

[@bpbp7407]

halo 3 wins with hammer halo 3 wins with water halo Infinite has better Textures, weapon appearance, but needs work with water physics, swaying trees, and grass. The lines on your screen when you run to show you're moving faster bug me on halo Infinite halo Infinite has better Covenant weapon halo Infinite has better vechicles. halo 3 has better sword. (combat) i also think the old sword if updated would look better. halo Infinite done an amazing job with the assault rifle. Feels just like halo 3. I miss the old sound of the grenade but i can live without it the rocket launcher/sniper are just updated in halo Infinite and look amazing BR Feels the same but i like the old sound better. Amazing job if they add all the match types, fix that stupid battle pass and make it better. This game is missing collectibles. What made these old games fun was that you didnt need to pay for a battle pass or buy dlc to find extra content. You found it in the game itself. "cough cough" cool armor for collecting all secrets/beating game on legendary/beating game on legendary with a friend. but what do i know.

[@bpbp7407]

i feel like a lot of issues are just visual tho. I agree its missing something but hopefully theres an updated graphics pack or something. it needs it bad

[@netty0131]

Halo 3 is better looking and was better overall

[@paradox6280]

What I always wonder is why the people who make these comparisons lower halo infinite's resolution.

[@brucekhamp6859]

...they don’t. it just looks poor in comparison

[@The_Gamers_Gamer]

I always wonder why people make uninformed baseless assumptions.
