According to IGN, Halo 2 wasn't even nominated in the "Best Graphics" category from E3 2004.

and many sites believe RE4 will revolutionize console graphics... I personally think Halo 2 will kill any console game when it comes to graphics. Forget what the critics say

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


RE4 looks good but I think Halo 2 has better graphics instead.

I don't know, apart from the fuzziness on the video because it's an MPEG, Halo 2 looks set to have the best graphics I have seen. Apart from the plasma sword, though, the Halo 1 graphics were damn impressive...

Halo 2 won 2 awards one for multi player and another for BEST ALL AROUND GAME--I belive so it got the top award and that means it has great graphics.

RE4 has bland textures and no color... I have no idea why people think it has the best graphics

As devout a Halo fan I am, and I do think the graphics are incredible, there are games coming out that might still be superior. Of those are such games such as RE4, the newest Zelda game coming out, and Conkers new game. Those seem to be the best quality graphics, though that's not to say by any means that Halo 2 will suck comparatively, quite the contrary. I believe Halo 2 will still be a strong competitor graphically, I just don't think it will be the best. Aside that, every other factor Halo 2 has will make up for it, including replay value, multiplayer, storyline, music score, gameplay control, etc, etc.

I thought Bungie was supposed to use MOST of the xbox's power... If RE4 has better graphics, than Bungie isnt anywhere close

you all have seemed to overlook ninja gaiden which has best graphics overall textures, polys everything. Soul Calibur 2 is impressive as well.

but NG and SC2 doesnt have to render nearly as much as Halo 2 does...

H2 is probably the only console that is taking bump mapping to new levels. I also want to see how the lighting is coming along

SC2 doesn't at all. Ninja Gaiden does have pretty decent sized lvls, i guess your right though not as big as halos.

you cant really judge two different types of game's graphics. Its like saying PGR2 has better graphics than RS3. While PGR2 only has to render the cars and tracks, and RS3 has to render a lot more

No, not all of the time. You see, in Final Fantasy X and X-2, the movie graphics are the almost real. If anyone buys a PS2 they'll see it. And I'm not a PS2Fanboy, so don't flame me. I used to play PS2. I just saw this thread and I thought of a while ago when I used to play the PS2. I would rather that both those games came out on the X-Box.

Halo2 will be my favorite console game most definitely, but I have my doubts about the graphics. From what I've seen from RE4, trying to compare Halo2 to that just isn't going to fly. The realism in the character models can't be compared. Heck, the Resident Evil remake on Gamecube that came out. . . uhh. . . I forget but it was a year or so ago I think, is way beyond Halo2. The characters in that may not have looked quite right with the background (something about the lighting), but everything in that game was nothing short of beautifully done. Especially Jill Valentine (just kidding). Also, this may be just me, but I think Half-Life 2 looks a little better than Halo2. Then again, that may just be me. Now that I think about it, that Chronicles of Riddick game's a bit prettier than Halo2 as well, even though it sucked gameplay wise.

Note: I'm not saying these games will be better than Halo2, but I do think their graphics are significantly a step up from Halo2.
