ive heard they have too many textures for a bunch of things in the game too(i think i heard it from a weekly update), like elites so they have to choose which ones to use, any1 have info on this?

X-Box - ummm...of course!

PC - not so sure - I would like to see Bungie themselves do Halo 2 on the PC instead of Gearbox (if Halo 2 is to be released on the PC).

no, the Elites have too many animatyions for the game to keep a steady frame-rate, so what they do is "zip" or compress the unused ones at the time, and call upon them in the situation... so framerate does not suffer, man, they've been testing this game for a while now, they dont need to tone it down because it works, and it isnt hard as it would normally be to run, because of happy Bump-mapping!

i think i read in a update a while ago that halo 2 accually has less polygons because of the bump mapping or something like that

exactly, the XBOX can handle any game thrown at it, the only problem with XBOX is that only so much could be fitted onto a DVD-rom.

Yeah, that's true... Bump mapping is where you draw shading to create the illusion of depth as opposed to making more individual polygons. just a little fyi just in case you didn't know! =]

Yes, they're going to make the game so it doesn't work. When you go to play Halo 2 on Nov 9th your xbox is going to explode.

Is that the answer you're looking for?
