I believe the term for this is water physics, not effects, halo 3's water is similar to crysis and is made of many polygons, but crysis does not ripple in 3d it use's a simple 2d shader refraction texture, halo 3 use's heavy processing physics to make its water distort like that.

@xBlueXFoxx Actually you're right :P. But people usually search for 'effects'

[xilefian]

Unreal Engine 3's water effects behave like real water

[appelstijl]

not totally,

to simulate real water you need a lot of computing power and even then you don't get close to real water.

no its mainly because the weapons and aliens look silly?

halo is a a cartoon :(

[mrcodpwns]

why halo reach doesnt have that water effects?

[computermadjack]

It's funny how the water effects in Halo Reach are crap and the ones in Halo 3 are better.

@EvilLamas

i agree with you on everything..oblivon's texture is horrible..if it was somehow updated it would look sexy as hell :D

@MrRaZaK I believe F.E.A.R. was the first game to do that.

i was wondering why all teh people online were always lookin at teh ground!

[TheGarvito]

that is sooo shittyy! i have seen better!

[EliteMon1995]

I allways thought it must be polygonal water physics...

There was no way the water in Halo 3 was just effects.

If you were to park a Warthog in the water, You would see the water ripple against the side of the tires, and there would be no way that this could be an effect because the "effect" does not cycle and repeat.

God i hope they port this to PC like Halo 1 & 2. So much more could be done with it!

@MrRaZaK and another thing they need to incorperate underwater physics and the ripple effects in the front of the tires or character. i think it looks stupid when people can just dive into water and after they break the surface they just slip through the water like a penguin. or when u drive through water and ur car just rapes the water to flatness
