Alright, this is rediculous. Misinformation everywhere. First of all, a game's multiplayer graphics HAVE NO BEARING whatsoever on latency. Data is transfered in packets containing only information about the game itself. What is displayed on the screen is produced on your machine alone. Tranfer of information does not include graphics!
Second, almost everything that has been shown thus far has been early builds of the game. They're still in the process of balancing what graphical features can be turned on in different modes and scenarios. If you want a link, don't be lazy and try reading ANY of the official articles and updates.
To add my own personal opinion, Half-Life 2 looks absolutley amazing from a technological and realism standpoint, but Halo has always been about the sheer artistry of the enviroments and characters. It has it's own distinct style that surpasses the current state of the art.
EDIT: Ah, yes. I forgot to add. Halo 2 HAS NEVER BEEN DELAYED. Any false release dates were given only by ignorant retail chains.
genious. apsolutely genious. couldnt have said it better myself, because i couldnt have said something so true and genious (sorry to be a cliche)
