Wowzer.

These look some of the best yet if you ask me.

 

[dark10x]

Would they STOP with the high-res pics?! It gives the impression that the game looks WORSE than it really does...

At those resolutions, details you were never meant to see suddenly become crystal clear...

Can't wait to shot down his armor and then blow him away!

beautiful stuff

Good God, Jackals are fucking UGLY.

 

[adrockthekid]

Goofy. Shadows look like butt in what I assume are the single-player screens, and are completely absent in the MP screens.

OTOH, holyfuckingshit does this look gorgeous. Character modeling...mmmm.

 

[SantaC]

Now if Bungie would start taking screenshots from the view you play from...

Well, to be fair, they are fully self-shadowed and the screens are blown up. When viewed on a TV, you will be able to appreciate both the added depth from the shadows AND will find the flaws less obvious.

surprisingly, there are a few. of course, they are still at INSANE resolutions, but still

 

[KyotoMecca]

Since when did it become acceptable to link every single hi res screen on a forum thread?

Bandwidth costs money folks!

Which is why I posted only one screen and the appropriate link! Have *some* consideration for the fuckers...

* Sai claps.

I was waiting for these!... Beautiful screenshots!

 

[Joe]

they're probably saving the in-game stuff for the heavy ad campaign.

i cant wait to see a sick 45 second commercial at a theatre during the previews. they always make really awesome, climactic trailers.

They've never done that and they probably never will because they use their screenshots to show off the detail in the game. Gameplay movies show how the game will look when you're playing it.

Yep, this is correct. Halo was the same way...

Go find a lot of the older Halo 1 shots and you'll see that they did the same thing. They aren't hiding anything, they are just trying to show off more impressive angles.

 

[Sai]

Uhm, this is weird. On every forum save GAF, people are bad-mouthing these screenshots. What the hell is going on? These are some of the better single player campaign shots we've seen.

 

[Error Macro]

LOL

Nice touch with the "jaggy" font.

 

[Sai]

Bungie now has them available at their site:

Check the HALO 2 Screenshots and Renders sections

 

[Mr. Lemming]

The upside is that you get to see hi-res versions of cool content, but we should note that the shots are based on a relatively ancient build of Halo 2, and lots of graphics, features and designs have changed subtly and occasionally radically.

The more I read this, the more it makes me laugh!

 

[DSN2K]

are the water crafts still in ?

 

[Sai]

The fuck? Thought this shit looked familiar.

Folder, why did you bump a 2 month old thread to post somethin' like that?

* Sai glances at his tag.

... Nevermind.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Wow, old thread. I never checked these shots out before though.

 

[djtiesto]

I hope this game becomes the biggest disappointment of the century...

 

[dark10x]

You know that's not possible.

 

[DarkGiygas]

You know that's not possible.

Yeah, nothing will ever top the original Halo.

 

[Trasher]

Yeah, nothing will ever top the original Halo.

........I pity you...........how can you even say that???

 

[GhaleonEB]

I can't find the quote right now, but one of the editors from a magazine was quoted as saying, "Halo 2 will make Halo look like Dig-Dug." I took that to be a good sign.
