It is people like you that make people like me need medication.

Ok I know some there was some big debate about that one article comparing the graphics of the Xbox version with the Vista version and some of us rightfully called bs on the quality of said pictures

Well now you can see for yourselves. Gamespot has a video on that page comparing the game running on Xbox, Xbox 360, and Vista on high. As you can see it doesn't look near as bad as those pictures made it out to be on Xbox or 360.

They also reiterated that there will be 3 graphics settings on Halo 2 Vista. Low, Med, High. Low they said was Xbox Quality again. So you figure low is Xbox, Medium is 360 quality, and High is of course Vista's quality.

So watch a proper comparison and see what you will realistically be getting. BTW you can watch the HD version for free for a limited time too. So enjoy.

Oh and hurry up Halo 2 vista. The wait is killing me. lol

This is different. this one shows off all 3. This one compares the Vista Build, Xbox 360 running it, and the Xbox. Back when all this went down they only had a lower res Xbox vs PC video.

Yeah, you guys still aren't getting it. 640x480 is the highest resolution for Halo 2 on the Xbox. 1600x1200 will be the highest resolution for the PC. Resolution difference utterly destroys comparisons; what would you expect from a video that shrinks it down to the capture size of the Xbox?

Indeed. Halo 2 Vista looks exponentially better than the Xbox version.
