im sure thats from the source and not actually what it looks like..... sounds like frankie tried to use the Xbox 360 SDK to take a screen in HD but it didnt, so he got something else to (maybe a HD camera or capture card) and it distorted the image.

I AM NOT BUYING XBOX 360 UNTIL U GET RID OF THESE CHEATERS. IT IS OUT OF HAND. I DONT CARE ABOUT THE NEW FEATURES OR ANY OF THAT CRAP, PROVE TO ME THAT U CAN GET THE CHEATERS BANNED FROM HALO 2 ON UR FIRST XBOX AND THEN I WILL BUY THE NEW ONE.

they use a super high-res picture taker.... I've never played halo 2 in high-def, but it should look like that. (its software, not hardware, its like taking a PC screenshot of a game)

I guess i could say halo is alright...

  • 11.09.2005 6:34 PM PDT

They were taken using Xboxes. Sure, the resolution is higher, that way they look good in print. But all the effects, normal maps, lighting, etc. is all in game effects. Granted, some of the shadows, etc. were from an early build of the game, but it's still in the system.

halo 2 sucks. it's just another money making scheme by large corporations that deprive americans of their intelligence, stamina and mental capacity to succeed in life. i can safely say that the addictveness of this game and video games in general has led to numerous failed exams, countless broken relationships and a total lack of personal hygiene. america is becoming more stupid by the day thanks to pointless artificial intelligence that's only making us dumber. i hope you guys can't sleep at night knowing that you're ruining this country. it's cause of corporations like this that our tech. jobs are being sent overseas to india and asia so some shrimp can get paid 2 bux an hour just so you can earn millions and we the ones who don't have jobs starve.

I'm in the same boat as a few people who own HDTVs. My tv does 480p and 1080i, but not 720p. So am I still only going to be able to play it in 480p. That sucks if that's the case.

and it's the ones that actually enjoy this game that are also detrimental to the success of this country. how about you pick up a real -blam!- gun and shoot someone. fight for something we're supposed to believe in, freedom. not some stinkin' game that rots your brain.

Usually hoisted by my own petard!

I have enjoyed all aspects of the Halo gaming experience and feel that all other FPS games pale in almost every aspect. My only disappointment today as I read what was "improved" for the 360, was that all my friends and I had assumed we would finally be able to play campaign co-op via Live. To me, this is the only missing ingredient in making Halo2 damn near perfect...Playing co-op with a buddy who live across the counrty.

Great job on the game, guys. Purely awesome. Next time, add online co-op.

::Maniacal laughter::

Oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
Happy birthday dear HALO 2,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Quick, someone, in spanish!!

oscar you are probably in the military from the looks of that last remark or something like it. if you think that fighting for freedom should take up every second of our lives then you can go -blam!- your self because thats what freedom is you dumbass.
