oh my lord, BUNGIE RULES. The bumps looked pumped up wow. I was worried that Doom III was going to kill us, but no way there is enough detail in this picture to make a meal.

Thank Frankie, you rulez. WORD!

First Grunts start driving Ghosts, now Jackals start using plasma rifles. The versatility of these enemies alone is going to drive the strategy to even higher levels.

I can't wait to see the Elites pull off some melee moves... that's going to look so awesome.

looks really good indeed (the sheild looks much more "energetic" and the fact that the close jackal seems a bit undertextured is IMO due to it not being lit (you only see the silhouet).
The jackal's eye looks really furious=> I love it!!! The plume is also really sweet!!!
The sidestepping seems to have been improved BIG TIME over Halo: CE!!! He even puts his weight to the right side...cool!!
And who designed that door? Anyway if a bungie staff member/web team member (Frankie?)reads this...please concragulate the door's designer(s)...thanks.

I see that these (screenshots) are not in the first person view the game is in. I was wondering if the graphics are as good when it is through the eyes of Master Chief?

This is the real stuff, It's undoubtably Awesome
The bumpmapping on these guys makes them look so real and would you look at those teeth, just imagine a pair of them chewing on your hand....OUCH!
Just by looking at this one screenshot i can tell this game is going to change gaming forever but for most of us we wouldnt even need to look at anything to tell how good it was going to be.
Keep them coming bungie

Awesome lighting, fantastic bump mapping.

But I hope the shadows look a little better.

looks like jackels can now wield plasma rifles!!!!


Wow, I totally forgot that the only weapons Jackals used in the first game were plasma pistols. Good observation, man. I would have said something too, but was just so awe-struck at the beauty of the models. Whoever said Bungie dumbed down the textures for Halo 2 has no idea what they're talking about!

It just suprises me that some people will never be satisfied and will always want more. Be thankful. Thanks Bungie for all your hard work it will not go unnoticed.

Of course I'm thankful.. in fact I think the screen is absolute brilliant. But the shadows look very... different than they did before. Is it a crime to point that out?

Nah, they'd never do that, since the Covenant are insanly religous and have laws forbidding the touch of human weapons.
