If anything, better, as Bungie has a year and change until November 2007 (the most likely release) to polish, improve, and streamline.
And technically, Halo 2's graphics were never "watered down" from the teaser as it wasn't in-game; it was a CGI movie. Thus, it wasn't Halo 2's graphics. It was a bar to shoot for. Considering the hardware they were working with, they came pretty damn close.
