These are my to5 xbox 360 games, in terms of graphics.
Please note When I say that game I mean the whole sereis in general

1.Crysis
2.Forza
3.Gears of war
4.Project Gotham racing
5. modern warfare 2

I chose the 5 th one because how fast it runs, a very high amount of detail, resolution and the same amount of detail on everything unlike some games, where somethings look good then in other place look crap.Also the detail on the guns and the realistic lighting in guns.

I only explained the 5th as many troll guy might find this controversial, but hey you're still entitled to your opinion.
Comment if you agree or have your own list guys!

Sure gfx are good, but framerate svcks! On ps3 that is... Ah well. (for crysis)

Sorry I just have to say it the 5th one is a joke. There are tons of other games with much better graphics even black ops has slightly better graphics but like you said you are entitled to your own opinion, I've heard rage has pretty awesome graphics but I haven't played it.

1. Crysis
2. Crysis 2
3. Killzone 3
4. Metro 2033
5. Battlefield 3

It would have been completely different list for me, if it would be talking about how they look instead of how good the graphics themselves are.

1. Crysis 2
2. Crysis 2
3. Crysis 2
4. Crysis 2
5. Crysis

.....
5. modern warfare 2
.....

Well, it's Xbox list, right? No doubt about it. But I think Crysis, Crysis 2 and Gears Of War 3 would be my top 3.

1. Crysis 2
2. Halo Reach
3. Crysis
4. Battlefield 3
5. Mass Effect 2

You do realize it only runs fast because of how simplistic the game is, right? It runs fast because all it is is running and shooting and sometimes some aircraft, unlike many another game where there's much more going on. For example, in Halo you have shooting, people in vehicles, different armor effects, tons of atmospheric/aesthetic phenomena, and a variety of gun effects. Crysis is also similar with its different armor modes and such.

And the underlined portion is underlined because Call of Duty is the epitome of that statement.

CoD is far from great looking, after playing something like Rage or bf3, it looks pretty crappy. Very little detail to surroundings and it has a high frame rate because they didn't push the system at all, which is proof enough.

1.Rage
2.Crysis 2
3. Mass effect 2
4.Gears 3
5.Batman: Arkham City

Edit: In another 6 months time

1.Rage
2.Mass effect 3
3.Battlefield 3
4.Crysis 2
5.Mass effect 2

My list for Xbox 360 in the shooter genre would have to be:

1. Crysis
2. Crysis 2
3. Gears of War 3
4. Halo: Reach
5. Bulletstorm

And in defense of the original poster, MW2 looks way better than Black Ops. WAAAAAAY better.

1. Crysis 2
2. Crysis 2
3. Crysis 2
4. Crysis 2
5. Crysis

So funny yet so true

1. Crysis 2
2. Crysis 2
3. Crysis 2
4. Crysis 2
5. Crysis

Sorry, but Crysis 2 only came out 3 times.

Wiii U port will mark its 4th release. Trust me.

1. Gears of War 3
2. Halo Reach
3. Batman Arkham City
4. Dead Space 2
5. Mass Effect 2/Crysis 2

I couldnt decide between ME2 and crysis 2 so i did a split. With COD it only plays that fast cause its not running in HD. Its around the 1040x600 mark, with 2x multi-sampling anti-aliasing. If u actually stop and look at the environment it looks like cardboard.

Crysis
Crysis 2
Battlefield 3

Tie between:
Halo 1/2/3 (for their time period, although Halo 3 still has way better graphics than Reach piece of crap and than a lot of game, everyone who put Reach you don't know what you're talking about)
Forza (in general)
Mass Effect (all of them)

I know very well what I'm talking about. If you say that Halo 3's graphics are better than Halo Reach's, you are well and truly blind.

Reach has more polygons yes, but check the comparisons:

Halo 3 had crisp clear modeling and realistic texturing. Everything looked clear and strong.


But look at Reach and you see their sloppy modeling and, honestly, I am a self-taught 3D artist and I could make a more photo-realistic texture than that.

How do I resize pictures?

I'm afraid I don't understand your argument. In Halo Reach, as you can see here (and in the image you posted above), the models are much more defined and shaped. In Halo 3, the models look like mannequins.



In Halo 3, the models also look like they're made out of... clay. They lack that realistic texture, unlike in Reach.



And here you can see the in-between armor texture, which is fully detailed and textured, unlike in Halo 3, where it's just black.

Right. That's why in Reach, nothing is metallic-looking due to awful specular and a complete lack of any type of reflective mapping.

In Halo 3 there were beautiful reflective surfaces, especially on ghosts and other Covenant things. The metal parts looked like metal and not like clay as you say; that's a much better anology for Reach.


In Reach, yes they were able to use more polygons, but had they used the graphics of the Halo 3 engine the result would have been much better. This ghost looks like it was painted purple, not made from a reflective purple metal. The audio is even dulled, not sharp and crisp like Halo 3, making it sound even less like solid metal when it hits something.


But why are we arguing about graphics which don't mean squat when it comes down to it (yes they're nice but gameplay and story come first), and why are we doing it on the flipping CRYSIS 2 FORUMS? I feel like I'm on Bungie's pathetic sinkhole of a forum again, and that's not a fun place to be

Personally, I hated Halo 3's graphics. Spartans looked like there armor was made out of plastic. I liked reaches because of the faded-ness of the armor/metal which gave it a more real look and like it has actually seen use.
