I think this new Chief Vs Jackal screenshot looks ace and the game is lookin better each time i see it. I have even being comparing the quality to the recently released new shots for Doom 3 on XBox, and it still looks great. In some ways even better.
My only gripe was that the shadows looked a wee bit blurry in this latest shot, although earlier shots did not show this.
I wonder, is this due to some new effect that has been employed to add more shadows into the game overall, so that the lighting is on a par with Doom 3, or is it just that some shadows are calculated in a similar way to the larger ship shadows in the original Halo?
Just thought i would bring the point up as I liked the cleaner shadows more than the new blurry ones, but this may look better in motion so who knows.
Maybe someone who knows something about in-game shadows could shed some light on this.
Cheers

they don't always have all the textures turned on for these screenshots - it is likely that in this particular screenshot they only had basic shadows - in other screenshots you will see that the shadows are fine
