When Most of u look at the screen shots and movies and u say "wow", u don't have to neccissarily say that, why?, cause most of the pic's u see are MOVIE clips of the game, and they are always in high definition and don't need input from the player.
But the actual game probobly has "fair" graphics.(nothing to do with bump mapping)
Graphic's, Who Cares, it's halo 2!.
Just thought u should know.
I'm gonna get flamed for this, i know it.

Bungie does their cutscenes with the game engine.

You may doubt it, but it's quite true. Bungie doesn't suck like most other developers.

By the way, all of the videos we've seen (excluding the trailer video) were in-game.

Ehm... Do not doub't that. The cutscenes from Halo are in-game cutscenes wich means that it's the caracters that you play with in the game that are controlled like puppets. That's why you can, in AOTCR (co-op) fly a banshee into MC in the last cut'scene or throw a plasma grenade on him and the cutscene continues without MC...

I too often doubt proveable fact. I doubt that the earth is round, and that we must drink in order to survive.

I'd value your opinion, if you had actually played the very game that you are criticizing.

Ok then-Dont flame.

What did your comment gain from you flaming a well liked and respected member of b.net?

He IS talking about Halo 2. That is besides the point. My point is, in future, please dont flame. Your comment would have been fine like this:

Are you sure that he is talking about Halo 2 Barron?

See? Isnt that a nicer way to conduct yourself? Now, everyone is happy. Banshee is in a position to reply, giving his points that show Linxxx is indeed talking about Halo 2. You could have accepted this, and said 'My mistake' and that would have been that. Your flame was not needed.

ok, i apologize to everyone who respects Barron for not talking like Mr. Rogers... its just that hes talking like he knows what which game Linxx is talking about... and how would Barron even know if linxx has played Halo 2 or not?

If Linxxx had played Halo 2, it would have only been for 5 minutes at Gamestars Live or PAX. Not really enough time to experience all the nuances of the graphics. The E3 Zanzibar build wasnt that impressive-at least not the 5 measly minutes I got to play of it. I made no judgement of Halo 2 based on my experience of it at Gamestars Live. That would be unfair. I had to queue for one and a half hours to play for 5 minutes, an 1/18 of the time I waited. I was a little irritated, but I understood why the time was so short. Anyway, I digress.

My point is I dont think Banshee deserved to be called a moron for making a fair point. If Linxxx HAS played on H2 it was hardly an experience for him to be able to properly judge Halo 2. I technically played Halo 2 at Gamestars, but realisticlly I didnt. I will wait until I have a copy in my hands before I judge fully. Linxxx made a slightly silly statement, and Banshee merely voiced his lack of support because of this. Then you came along calling Banshee a moron for making a fair and valid comment.

You wouldnt behave like that in reality, so why behave like it on the net?
