I can already tell the Sword is gonna piss me off. They better have an option in the gametype creation to pull that out of the map. No Noob-knife.

RIP Halo 2.

The textures and shaders from Halo 2 Vista are identical to Halo 2 Xbox.

RIP Halo 2.

Those are the same textures, the game itself is just higher res.

"We had a number of visual improvements in Sprint 5, and the game’s starting to showcase the power of the PC platform. Lighting in particular has real richness now, with dark-black blacks and overbrightness effects that make you want to stop and stare at the walls in Ivory Tower. Bump mapped detail textures were implemented in this Sprint too, giving maps like Lockout a suitably gritty feel.

Thanks to the oodles of memory available on a typical PC (compared to the prodigious, but now five-plus year old Xbox 1), we’ve been able to suspend some of the usual in-game rules about the resolution of textures. The first-person weapon models have been retouched from the Xbox source art, and are now IMO the juiciest part of the game. Halo 2 Vista also maintains its highest level of texture detail – a.k.a. “cinematic LOD” – even at great distances. This gives the game a feeling of clarity currently unavailable on the console."

Fixed the linkie thingie.

It seems as if the guy that's playing is using a controller. It doesn't seem as....jerky or quick as it would be for someone using a mouse/keyboard.

People are really having a hard time letting go of their controllers, eh?

The demo seems to be from an earlier build. I think KPaul or Frankie said it in an article earlier this week...

That is most definitely not Halo2 on HDTV. Look at the wordings on the screen and the shield bar, you'll see what I mean. If you still don't see it, go actually look at H2 on HDTV and then you'll know.

As for why no-one is making a big deal about it; Halo2 is already nearly two years old. No point in getting your feathers ruffled for new vids of a two year old game.

That is Halo 2 Vista, the shaders are not the same. The bump maps and lighting (some of the lighting is still kinda bland and unfinished though) have been improved, and from what I hear, LOD has been removed, so things always look their best no matter how far you are from them. The "Press X to pick up ___" Is there because they must have been using the 360 controller to play Halo 2 Vista. And at a higher resolution, the HUD stays the same size so it gets smaller (I hope this gets fixed)

Yes Igg, the sword is like a close range Rocket with no splash damage and no suicides. Incredibly easy to get close range kills :P

Logic/common sense FTW!

Hopefully if anybody is stupid enough to think they can play really well with an Xbox 360 controller at least it can be wireless, and not just limited to the wired gamepad.

I really think that resembles Quake 4, the textures/sound effects and all.

RIP Halo 2.

Tehy said they are only improving the FP models and removing the LoD. IT's gona look extremely similar to the Xbox when finished.

What a rip.
