Anisotropic Filtering

Wasn't this posted awhile back on the Bungie forums?
I've had it on for awhile now...

Right side is with it on.

Yeah, I saw it posted there and turned it on about 2 weeks ago. So much better looking now. I run around some areas of Halo and am amazed by how crisp it looks.

Anybody want to post pics? (comparing CE to PC if they've only got 1 set or just some well known CE map on it's own?)

I would, but I have no time. :( Someone else want to step up to the plate?

Very noticeable.

Thanks. Yeah, there's a huge difference.

lol wow it's hard to tell the difference until they are lined up next to each other like that.

Damn, tried this with my own game (16x AF), the results are fucking gargantuan. I wonder if some tech wizard has figured a way to get the game to use AA without freaking out. Some AA combined with this would really make this all look stunning.

That's too bad. At least he tried. Doesn't it have something to do with the way the game renders images, much the same reason that Halo 3 has no AA?
