[Turnsky]

Ooooooh...

[demon442]

YES! I knew I skipped the first one for a reason!  I wonder if 2 will have a mechlab?

Those screenshots are jackoff material...

I hope it isn't as repetetive as the first one. It was a good game just didn't have too much to keep coming back to.

The lighting owns for a game, imo.

Besides, I grew up thinking stuff like this was ownage.

It had better have the Ragnarok again...

Meh. The graphics are not that impressive (when compared to others [Halo 2 for example]). I'm still waiting for Halo 2 and SC 2.

[Deepblue]

Now shots like those are drool material.

[DragonClaw]

Ok, you win. But I doubt anybody gets good frames per second on scenes like that

[Deepblue]

I'm sure it runs fine due to the Xbox's excellent hardware. But yes it still looks quite excellent and is something I am sure to get.

So it looks almost exactly like the first one, only with a bit of a texture overhaul..
OMFG THATS SO ****ING AMAZING

[Deepblue]

You obviously have not seen much of the first one OR you are completely blind. Or you own a PS2/Gamecube and are bitter.

[Thorn]

I own an X-Box and the first one.
I like the first one, I play it a lot...

Textures, models, lighting, scripting, sound, to name a few of the 'overhauls'.  That is just a render, but if you've seen the trailer with in-game footage, its obvious that, even that early in the dev process, there were massive changes in just about every field.

Sorry to raise a dead thread, but all ingame cutscenes for Halo utilize ingame graphics (halo always has), which means the graphics are identical to those that the player interacts with.
