Halo: Reach beta visually dissected by Digital Foundry

Well, we knew it was bound to happen sooner or later, right? First things first: Yes,
Halo: Reach is apparently running at a full 720p according to
Digital Foundry's review of the beta thus far (so many Ps!). And, like
Halo 3 before it, the
Reach beta achieves a near constant 30 frames-per-second of highly frenetic gameplay, albeit dropping a few every now and then during, um ...
explosive situations (let us once again remind you that the game is still in
beta).
In fact, aside from the occasional screen tear and a bit of a "ghosting" issue ("frame bending" -- two or more images being blurred together -- can sometimes result in objects on screen not appearing solid, as seen in
this image), DF is quite impressed with the beta's visual presentation, not to mention the gameplay. The three pages on the beta go into far more detail than we've dropped into this post, and, well, we've got a lot more
Reach to play, so we'd encourage you to read more
right here.
