Don't forget we're getting splitscreen, which was probably cut for performance reasons in the first place.

I think all the choices they made were the right ones (prioritizing frame rate and dynamically scaling resolution so it looks its best wherever possible), and I'm sure having more familiarity with the machine will allow them to get a better-looking game with fewer compromises even on the same hardware, same as we went from Halo 3->Reach->Halo 4.
