Awesome lighting, fantastic bump mapping.

But I hope the shadows look a little better.


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?

No its not and im sry if i took what you said wrong. Its just its annoying how some can never be satisfied. And yes the shadows do look different, but its because of the new real time lighting and self shadowing that they are incorporating.

Real-time lighting and self-shadowing were incorporated in the E3 demo as well. That's what I'm comparing it to. I'm not comparing it to the first Halo

Cool
does it say that in one of the books


Yup


Actually, a covenant (elite? i forget) does use a pistol on a human in the book. He makes fun of it though, saying it is weak because it uses bullets instead of plasma like theirs.

Does that mean that there is a possibility that the covenant might use them in halo 2

I know this is a tad bit off the topic but... Since seeing how good Halo 2's Graphics will be, wouldn't it be cool if Bungie remade Halo 1 with Halo 2's AI, Physics, multiplayer, etc.? I know I would get it.

Then i am sure that when in the game is fully complete that the shadowing will be better. If not fantastic. Hopefully they will show us more at the E3 this year. I have a feeling that it might aswersome questions. Although knowing Bungie it will most lilkely raise more questions that it will asnwer.

wow...it really is the EXACT same door. I figured yall just meant that it looked the same. In the elite's picture that thing in the middle isn't red hmmmmm. Maybe it is locked in the elite picture, and unloacked in the jackals one? (or other way around)

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


is it me, or are the jackles more armored as well? I wonder how much harder it will be to kill them and if they can use other waepons (vehicles, turrets, fuel rod cannons!!, etc.)

Why would you say this and can i ask what is it exactly that you dont like or are you just trying to start an argument. Name a game that looks better than this (even that screenshot is unfinished)

People wanted a campaign shot, and so they got one. Keep in mind, there is only so much that they can show. Probably why they picked such a small area and the same place the elites are.

You know if they are done with Halo2 they should just release it to the stores why keep the suspense they are sowing and telling us so much that when it comes out it'll be like we or i already played it
