I played Halo3 the day it came out...
I played a few hours straight... i love the graphics in the campaign... they have improved quite a bit.
Honestly, I don't think you and I played the same game then.
The graphics are just about the same as they were in Halo 2, with no real improvement whatever. In fact, I found myself noticing unsightly texturing stretching and wrapping issues on CHARACTERS, not even on unimportant environment pieces. For the amount of money they shoved into this project, and the talent they could have hired, there's no excuse for this sort of shoddy work.
The game did nothing to improve upon the gameplay. It was exactly the same.
The game did nothing to improve upon anything in the entire paradigm of the FPS, same old, same old. It didn't even manage to look prettier than other FPS's
The game was incredibly short. Incredibly.
Honestly, I see no worthwhile difference between this and the former. I was sorely disappointed, and felt like a waisted time and money that could have been better spent on Bioshock or TF2 or some other game.
I will hand it to Microsoft here though, they definitely won the crowd with their marketing prowess. Just shows you can sell anything with the right tactics.
