Well I guess that would make sense since it is easy to indentify. But with most games they sometimes have a different name, for example "Star Wars: Republic Commando" uses the Unreal engine.

From what I understand, Shishka or anyone can correct me, but Bungie started from the ground up so they they could have better, more dynamic lighting and a faster bump-map rendering system. Both would instantly make a game look more 'pretty'. But I remember Frankie saying MC and some of the other models were actually FEWER polygons, which does not surprise me since MC is more 'square' and 'edge-wise'. (I used to do 3d modeling). None the less, I think it looks fantasic and the next step is nera CGI :)..

Oh and back on topic, any company who would buy the Halo 2 engine would be wise. I'm sure it's extremely expandable.

They're using the original one, as they have experience with it.

Do you think the new graphics engine Bungie is using for Halo 2 Should be used in other games after HALO 2 Comes out?
