in one of some sites "hands-on:halo 2 reviews " they said that after a while you don't even notice the better graphics at all and it all seems the same.

is this true? (that the graphics don't seem too different after a little bit of gameplay)

I go around the world leaving a path of destruction in my wake. When I come to a city, grown men cry and women wail. I collect the skulls of my enemies and display them for all to see.........I also kick puppies. For fun.

Shishka isn't an official Bungie emplyee (right?), so I don't even know if he got to play or anything. I bet he has at one point though.

Everyone at the e3 fanfest got to play halo 2. But I don't know if we got to play long enough to make an honest answer for your question.

I never played it, but I don't see how the graphics could really be less noticable when you play it for a long time. The fact that the helmet on a marine casts a shadow on their face makes it noticable. Plus the ODST with the little glare on their visors.

Perhaps you won't notice because you are too caught up in the gameplay... I don't know...

hm.. and I'm not sure if you know what it means, either. it's a little contradictory, though. being hypocritical is like when you don't approve of something and yet you do it anyway. and there's other cases, but eh. I have to go watch Chapelle's Show... so. yep. now you know.

Thats the way it is, the more you play the game, the les NEW the grphics seem, and so on. You become more emersed in the gameplay than the grphics. However the less you notice about it , the better the graphics must be, if the graphics are terrible youll notice more faults, complain more and get agitated more and slam the pad on the ground (ala me with the horrors of driver 3... and driver 2... and the original driver)

i remember the preview hes talking about (forgot who it was though). they basically said the above ^. that the gameplay is so good and so intense that you forget about the new graphics after a while.
