To stray away from the *cough* stupid threds about human=forerunners and covies rebbeling, im gunna bring something worth taking up space.

In halo, when you shine a flashlight on an object, the object will light up, but there is no shadow. In halo 2, will the shadows be more realistic? Because (from a SC:PD former addict, it would really enhance the gaming experience.

if u look at the screenshot of the elite walking by the jackel in the hallway, u notice the lighting is fantastic, but the shading beside the elite is not so good.

PS. can we have more than one word posts, plz?

Well, if you look at some of the in-game multiplayer shots from press demo (the one with Waterworks and Burial Grounds) the shading looks MUCH better than the shading in that screenshot with the Elite and Jackal. This is probably because that shot was with an older shading system than the press demo.

yes i would agree with real time lighting...I have pandora aswell and when online with all the shadowing it makes it more interesting, though without would be -blam!-y. im pretty sure the lighting wont be like in halo CE.
