Definitely. But the difference between Halo and... that other FPS are not nearly as noticeable. Lighting and the facial models are about the only noticeable difference.
[quote name='lowgear26']if you honestly cant tell the difference then please have your eyes examined......the graphics are tremendously more detailed and as was said before.....GEARS OF WAR LOOKS GREAT[/quote]
There's no question as to whether or not they look better, it's whether this level of graphical updates is worth $400. Because frankly, that looks like the biggest thing the Xbox 360 is offering right now. All that other GUI stuff could be done with an overhaul to Live and a firmware update.
IMO, I wouldn't pay more than $200 for that minor of a graphics upgrade. I would pay more for other hardware-related improvements, like better AI or 64-player multiplayer, so hopefully the 360 offers plenty of that, rather than focusing mainly on graphics (which kinda seems to be what's happening right now). Sure, Gears of War looks good, but does it play any differently than any other generic FPS we already have?
