Bungie- the closest thing to real life. Usually with terrific detail and action better than anyother thing.


Jimbot sat in his bead all night playing halo. And wondered how they got all of the bungie in it,
syn- straight up awesome, magnificenct, awesome


note: these syninyms are no where near the size and greatness of bungie.

I only have one question..... Are all the graphics, textures, and everything else turned on???

Also, he looks a different colour to the screenshots seen in the teaser trailer and E3 trailer. I dont like this light green colour as much.

I personaly thought that, at first, the Jackals where ugly. Infact, I still do. The only way I knew they were Jackals is from the shields. But still, any screenshot is a good one. There is no such thing as a bad halo screen. Some are just better than others.

We've had a huge week here at Bungie.net. In fact, it's been the most action packed 5 days we've ever experienced! As a special thanks to all of you who helped make our launch week so great, we've got one more Halo 2 screenshot to cap it all off. This is now officially my favorite screenshot yet. Suhweet!

Chief vs. Jackals!

Awhile back I read this post about plasma weapons. It said that they most likely run off of electricity or something to that effect. Well I think that guy was right because if you zoom in on either of the weapons it shows a current of what appears to be electricity running to each of the nodes.

It's hard for me to believe the lack of attention most are giving to the lighting. It looks way to good. Why does this game look so good?
All Halo 2 needs now is volume control for the music, so I can crank the gun sounds up with out blowing my speakers out whenever the music kicks in.

Hi

When i was playing 340 guilty spark i got up to this part where master chief found a guys helmet that had a built in camera. Then I got this idea for halo 2. If the master chief has one of those camera things built into his head maybe if you die in a level it will show you an alien or a human picking up youe helmet and they could see how you died Or if you beat a level it can show a mission replay.

Nice point ELITE27 that would be sweet!! having mission replays! Or maybe even better, MULTIPLAYER replays! When you view any of the replays you can choose multiple angles on how you want to view it etc.. I always wanted to enjoy HALO from all different angles so you can actually enjoy the beautiful backgrounds,spreading enemys,massive enviorments of HALO. Sometimes you just want to sit there and just watch everything happen. Imagine trailing a warthog from a sideangle view close to the ground with rocks and dirt bouncing off the camera lens!? Imagine trailing a banshee from a first person view looking directly at the horizen or a top/bottom angle noticing the extreme detail of its shape. I know any kind of replay option in HALO 2 would give us that kind of freedom!

This new screenshot is really cool, I like it alot, its shows how much work bungie really put into the game, the graphics look awsome. I also like how the Jackal is now able to use the plasma rifle instead of just the plasma pistol. So i guess the troopers and the covies can use any weapon. Well keep up the great work bungie ill be looking forward to seeing the next screen shot.

yeah i know the jackals were already very annoying with just the plasma pistol. But this the plasma rifle they are going to be just that more annoyig to get rid of. I personally like how bungie re-did the jackals i think that the jackals look more scary and realistic than what they did in the first one.

I think this new Chief Vs Jackal screenshot looks ace.
I have even being comparing the quality to the recently released new shots for Doom 3 on XBox, and it still looks great. In some ways even better.
My only gripe was that the shadows looked a wee bit blurry in this latest shot, although earlier shots did not show this.
I wonder, is this due to some new effect that has been employed to add more shadows into the game overall, so that the lighting is on a par with Doom 3, or is it just that some shadows are calculated in a similar way to the larger ship shadows in the original Halo?
Just thought i would bring the point up as I liked the cleaner shadows more than the new blurry ones, but this may look better in motion so who knows.
Maybe someone who knows something about in-game shadows could shed some light on this.
Cheers
