dont get me wrong the graphics are still good, but as they've delayed it so long the technologly isnt so advanced anymore. Both COR and doom 3 use normal mapping so is halo 2 reallly as revolutionary graphically as we all supposed. I am not claiming that it wont be a great game, CS my fav game at the moment is very poor graphically (xbox version) but remains a great game. Does anyone here agree?

ummmmmmmmmmmm. the multiplayer graphics are worse than the single player graphics, so online play wont lag a lot.

yeah, i have to admit that half-life 2 looked much more graphically stunning than halo 2, but im really looking forward to the gameplay, the graphics are just a bonus.

some screenshots make the game look really good graphics. Others make it look bad graphics. In that icy multiplayer screenshot, you can see a gun in the wall.

everyone knows that half-life 2 will have better graphics as the engines stand at present, due to the amazing physics engine it uses.

Uh, its still looking amazing, in one of the new OXM scans on HBO you can see an elite walking towards the screen and a jackal walking away on the right side and the graphics and lighting are stunning, thats SP. Like everyone else mentioned, they lowered the graphics in MP so you can play better with lots less lag. As Bungie has said, the demo they used at E3 was of an older build of the engine so that does NOT represent the final graphics, and they're still amazing. So DON'T say that they won't be good.

Yea I know. I didn't want to say anything, but man the graphics are starting to worry me. Bungie is using bump mapping when they could be using normal mapping. Anyway we still have 5 months, so hopefully they'll seriously clear things up.

Well halo 2 is not gonna be boring when it comes out. Right now though its boring because we are just looking at all the same stuff for those little details that it has just gotten boring. But believe me, it is not gonna be boring when it comes out. since your gonna see new things and totaly ignor life till you played halo 2 10 times. So the game addicts that have played halo to death will probably go to the grave with the controls in there hands from playing halo nonstop.

Main press scan page for newest issue.

Direct to pic I mentioned

And about the bungie saying its an older build, I guess they really didn't, but it definately isn't the NEWEST one.

ok what kinda computer do you need for half-life 2 hmm and what is halo 2 on hmmm so shut up about half-life looking better because you'll need a super computer to run it and an xbow to run halo and as for the graphics they have said that even in mutli-player that it wasnt done and both the campain and multi-player will look better by release

Bungie is using Normal Mapping, that's why it looks so much better than the original.
