Bungie has promised fans that the Halo 3 to be released will look even better than the beta version.

Frank O’ Connor, Bungies net’s content producer, said that there’ll be visual improvements to the final Halo 3 that will ship in September.

“We think that the final aesthetic look of our game will be judged at launch in September and in part based on the more intense single player spaces,” O’Connor said.

“We’re also focused on maintaining the Halo character and atmosphere in our visual design — we’re competing with ourselves, and not simply trying to match the aesthetic of other games.”

The beta has been going well but Bungie maintain that there is still a lot to be done.

“We have a long time to polish and iterate on the largely complete game at this point,” O’Connor maintained.

“We’ll be working on some big ticket items as well as making sure that the little details, like decorators and shaders, are all in place. Lighting and atmospherics are going to be big keystones in our look and feel, and those really haven’t been shown except in multiplayer to this point.”
