Graphics are definately wayyyyyyyyy improved from xbox version. Obviously they should be, but I figured you might want to see some different screenshots.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

The few, the proud, the leet.

Doesn't change the fact they're charging full price for a 2.5 year old game that is gimped beyond belief in comparison to PC title's.

Improved, yes they are.

But they still look like ass.

It's like saying "i've made a high resolution texture pack for Superman 64! So it looks a bit better than it used to!...but still looks terrible anyway."

Halo 2 PC isn't a very colourful game is it?

Every shot I see seems to look all washed out.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Get out. Now. F.E.A.R. and all those other games can look like crap with certain hardware. The only way to judge graphic quality is to actually play the game.

Since when could textures resemble a human body part?

Of course they aren't going to be as good as F.E.A.R or Oblivion. In my opinion, i think the graphics are pretty good on Halo 2 Vista. But people who say that the graphics are -blam!- are just biased towards PC games because Halo 2 was a hit console game.

I'm going to admit, that spartan in the first image looks pretty detailed, but Halo 2 still looks like ass considering its age and other PC shooters which blow it out of the water not only in terms of visuals but in gameplay and storyline...

In fact, I'd go as far as to say that Half-Life 2 looks better.

Except that it really shouldn't look this bad and F.E.A.R. makes it look eight-bit. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a lousy, biased PC gamer!

I just got vista ultimate (for 40 buck w00t) and the graphics are....omgosh, so much better with the new dx-whatevernumberthey'reon. I didn't expect it actually, and I just got it to play halo 2, but whoa. Just turned on the normal halo 1 to pass the time and was like....this is crazy better. Oh yah, and my gfx card is a radeon x700. Yup. that's all. I'm done now.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

I suppose you people complaining about the graphics also are -blam!-ing about the latest AlpheOne build?

It's a three year old game, how good you expect the graphics to be? Geesh...their way better than they were, be grateful you get to play Halo 2 with a KB & M.

I'm surprised Bungie hasn't gotten rid of this board by now, it's just a -blam!- fest by brats.

Lucky? Yea we are lucky to finally be able to play the game after 800+ days of waiting. But having the advantage of using the KB & M, is that a joke. When I played the game, at the start when your doing the co-ordination test (looking at the flashing lights) it asks you to press "A" to keep it that way or "B" to invert it. I had to use my left mouse button to select leave it that way. My left mouse button isn't "A", its a left mouse button. not to mention using the mouse to aim is pathetic, although I had no troubles aiming, I had to adjust the sensitivity like 4-5 times to make it feel right. Although you "CAN" use the KB & M to play this game, you can't half tell it was made for the xbox controller. Oh lets not forget that people using the xbox controller have an unfair advantage with auto-aim.

Now for the positives. I finally finished the game for the first time. I don't have an xbox and the only time I ever got to play it on the xbox was when I went to a mates place. It was a great game, not as good as I expected, but I suppose you can get that after playing more recent titles such as HL2 Epi 1 etc. The graphics are a lot better than the xbox, if i can remember what it looked like on the xbox clearly that is. I didn't like the use of colours in Halo 2, I mean the Master Chief looked visually good. But the platform on Cairo looked like it was coloured in by a 5 year old. But I like to put gameplay before graphics, and all I can say is that its a good game, now to wait how many years? before Halo 3 comes out.

Oh let's not forget that a controller with auto-aim has a severe disadvantage to someone who is very good with a mouse. I'm pretty good at the Xbox version (and by pretty good I mean I basically hit the skill cap, just short of it) and people who've had the game for a few days with the keyboard and mouse are already as good. With most people being bad with the controller anyway, I'm sure it'll be fair. It's not like you can tell when someone is using the controller if you aren't looking for it.

For the year it came out I think It could have been a hell lot better than they made it. 2 thumbs down. . .

So your saying that basic players are worse aimers (with auto-aim off) with the controller than what they are with the mouse? It's a PC not a console, just because its easier to aim with the mouse than it is with a controller, doesn't mean controllers should use auto-aim to even it out. IMHO anyone who can use a mouse and beat a person with a controller with auto-aim, can say they are a better aimer. But anyone using a controller with auto-aim beating someone with a mouse, can't say they are are better aimer because they had an auto-aim advantage.
