If you pay any atention to the weekly update then you should have looked at the new vista screens. It seams that they have done alot of work on the graphics compared to last time and I'm starting to see a difference between this and the xbox version (besides a 1920 x 1200 resolution). The've added more contrast to the character models and they no longer look "choppy". They've also improved the textures from last time, scars and grooves in the walls and armor no longer look like they were drawn on. The envirements also have more polygons, this one is hard to tell but if you look close you can see things have more of a curved and smooth look to them. Lighting effects look better and specular is way up compared to last time.
I could go on and on on what they have improved, but basicly this topic is about how Halo 2 will look when it is done with development based on the graphical updates from now and then.
