You guys remember the Gamespot article on H2V's graphics right? Anyone else think it was rather biased?

oh they DID decrease the FOV :/
I don't see the images :S
edit
Ok now I see them... but it's hard to make judgments because of the jpg compression. They need to be un-compressed .png files.
rofl.. my bad, was messing with .htaccess :X Sorry guys, back up now.
I think H2V really only looks better when I turn AF to 16x...textures, although lo-res, look a lot less blurry. And the water looks better, and some of the building/wall textures.
Yeah, AF has to be turned on, otherwise textures will look the same 5 feet away, both on the PC and on the consoles because it will "blur". But I guess it's ok no to have it on, because I believe it's not a direct option in H2V. (You have to enable it through your graphic's control center)
It's reasonable. While Halo 2 XBox's player FOV is 90 degrees, keep in mind that not all 90 of those degrees are visible. Most TVs crop out a bit of the image on all sides. The same thing occured with Halo 1.Quote:

most PC games have an option to change the FOV halo doesnt and it's annoying
They STILL didn't fix the Marine's face in that shot!?
I'm pretty confident the stock fullscreen FoV for both games was 90 degrees considering that is the ideal aspect ratio for a 4:3 monitor. I imagine it only changed it in 16:9 modes if the xbox even supports that.Quote:

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure the FOV is 70, as listed in biped tags?
good comparison, why the hell did they DECREASE the FOV, thats the oposite of what they should have done, after all were not sitting on a couch a good few feet away on a big tv, pc gamers sit alot closer, that really doesnt make sense to me
How do you know they decreased it? Just because the picture is zoomed in more? IMO bad assumption, it is still 70, like Halo for the PC. Quit freaking out over what you do not yet have knowledge of, k?Quote:

It makes perfect sense, did you read my post? Normal televisions crop out the outer edge of the XBox's image. Ergo, you see only about 70 degrees of your FOV.Quote:

I can't notice much more, and 70 degrees looks the same to me for both. So, in a sense, it is the same, though the H2X version is really 90, you only see ± 70. Either way, it is the same as Halo PC, so people don't have to whine about it so much.Quote:

Okay, but your comparison pics are at like 800x600. If I take a 400x300 screen produced by my XBox and blow it up to 1920x1200 like I'm running on Vista, you can't even begin to compare how much better quality the PC version is.
Yes, but the Xbox resolution is only 640x480... oo;
You're referring to the FOV in Halo PC are you.Quote:
