I've just seen the video and I'm worried so far it seems to have gone through a 'vista-omatic' machine and a bad one of that there are xbox 1 games that can do more I know its early but like everyone here I hope for a drastic improvement

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Hey, vista is still in development. Things aren't going to be completly shiny and new guys...just give them some time and I'm sure things will look even better...the link to Halo 2 Vista on the front page isn't up, but look here.

Edit-Just watched the video and have no idea what you're whining about. The game looks even better than the old Xbox version, and it isn't even done!

And yet, the subject of your thread says: "Halo 2 Vista so far not good"

I must dissagree. There have been many improvements doen to the Vista version that just would not be possible on the Xbox. Higher resolution textures, higher framerate, more memory so no more texture poping (or not as much anyway), and way higher resolution. Haven't you been keeping up with the news lately? And it's still in early stages of..development, i guess (even though it is a port, there's still a lot of system unique stuff to take advantage of).

Come on. Have some hope. And patience. And there is no way possible an Xbox can beat the Vista machines they were using at the demo. If you've seen the numbers of an Xbox and the numbers of a Vista capable machine, they are not even in comparison.

Anyway, I just needed to say that.

I must say as well though that there seems to be a lack of bump maps in the new screenshots, but there are bumpmaps in the video. I could be wrong...

Yeah, but, it's going to be lower quality because the Xbox only has 64 megabytes of memory with a 733 MHz clock speed. Well, whatever... =O

....Why are you discussing Half-Life 2 in the Bungie forums?

And if it was about Half-Life 2, why did you title the thread "Halo 2 Vista so far not good?" Is Half-Life 2 even going to BE an exclusive for Vista? No, because it's already out for XP.

:P

What? That's bull. HL2 for PC maybe, but HL2 on the Xbox?

Anyway, Windows Vista is bound to look better, after all it's an early build.

There is a HL2 port for the Xbox. No joke there.
