E3: New Halo 2 Screenshots
 

Here they are:













All in-game graphics.

:eek:

Wow... That looks... SPECTACULAR!

Looking good, but I thought it was supposed to have the same graphics as that trailer? I think they've yet to add the bump mapping in these pictures, but I'm not sure.

There is a nice difference between this and Halo though.

i'll be surprised if that runs more than 12 frames/sec

but if it does HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIPPPPP

Problem with Halo 2's graphics is that they make Master Chief, and the enemies and ships look great, but the rest of the place, like the floor, look like crap. Granted it's been improved quite a bit since the original screenshots, it would be nicer if the quality of graphic was consistant.

Here are the same images, but in high-res:













Great for your desktop. :)

Wow. Graphics are amazing. Can't wait for this one.

that looks good...but i dont see how these are what we will be seeing when playing the game...whoa...hopping onto a car woopdie doo....get what im sayin?if it is in game its damn tight, but i fail to see how those shots prove it are....bah im bad at this

yea thoes are like cut sceens done with in game graphics. id like to see some in game ones. but truley doesnt matter im more interested in Halo for PC :) none the less. thoes as it be look mighty good, i see gekkos point too tho.

The floor doesn't look like crap, they just don't look good compared to the ships and enimies. There's a good chance they're just not fully mapped yet. Either way the lighting still looks good.

Yes, also, if the floors do end up looking bad, I'd rather them keep them bad looking, because the floor is an acceptable sacrafice. I wonder if any screens of any forest areas will come out, if it looks at least comparible to Halo one on the ground mapping It's just fine.

he jumps onto a moving enemy vehicle in the 8 minute movie at ign. and its not a cut-scene either, the person playing actually jumped on the vehicle, kicked out the enemy, then presumed to control the vehicle. very cool.

so your play the game flying ships towards yourself at teh screen?

or play the game with the character you control looking at the screen?

or at the funny angles?


the point he's saying is this is a FPS. where at the FPS pics actually in first person where hes going around aiming and shooting. thoes are what i would consider to be the in game shots.

when you go up to something like a vehicle, and press a button to get in, and it goes out of first person and shows him climbing into the vehicle, that to me is a sceen.

Null, could you please retype that in English?

Thanks.

what the hell? :confused:

as you could for that please. thanks.






Look at the screens posted. they are beautiful. But how are they in game? Halo is an FPS, none of thoes are in First person mode, How are they in game?

They aren't in-game screenshots. They are in-game graphics.

If you would like to see a sample of some Halo 2 in-game action, you can watch the 8 minute demo.

Well thats what im sayin whoever it was that posted it above. I'd like to see the pics that show what you see what your actually playin.


and i'd like to see the vid. but im going to wait till i can see it in a decent vid format and not have to download that damn media player.

hehe

null gets exactly what i am saying...and i understand what he is saying

I get what your saying. They are cut scenes. So they can concentrate more on the closeup images etc (players details).

Just like FFX cutscenes.

Yes, they are cut scenes, and as in the original the cut scenes are made using in game graphics. Seriously, just look at the 8 minute vid and your jaw will drop to the floor.

It looks good...but I think RE4 looks better.

anyone wanna post a link to the video... yes im that lazy..

I guess I'm the only one here that doesn't think Halo 2 graphics are that great.

Thats not why I liked Halo in the first place. It's ALL about gameplay for FPS

Well the graphics in Halo were excellent, and the graphics in Halo 2 are much better, so I'd have to day that Halo 2 has great graphics.

I actually think Halo's biggest achievement was in sound. The perfect sound effects with dramatic music chiming in at precisely the right moments. Whe your adrenaline starts pumping because you hear a certain kind of music in a game, thats an exellent job.
