makes sense but why even use the PC lol. oh the irony

The better GFX and the Xbox you got such a small feld to work with, and the PC you have a huge Feild to work with, they've said that in a few of their Updates, and in the Podcast they made.

Where can I find a USB Jack?

Back of you Computer, it is one thing that you pluge your Jump drive, Zip drive, USB mouse, USB Key Boards, and other things, most Key Boards and Mice are now USB, Bolth of my Mice and my Key Board is USB, most things all put Speakers and Computer screens are starting to become USB Pluges.

Anyone else notice Nitro's name in one of those screenies?

Shouldn't he be working on H2CE?

[Stealth]

No, he got promoted to Bungie H2V team I think, and I still want to know why he is Meleeing the Wall.

[mech]

Cool, no elites.

[TheGhost]

The shaders probably don't look good on them yet or something.

[Stealth]

No, just most of the Beta Testers are playing as Spartans, but I think some of the pics that you posted here ,TheGhost, has a few Elite FP, but I don't know, I do know that there is one or two Elite FP at Bungie.net, and Ya I haven't seen any Elites in the Screen shots, I'll ask some one at Bugnie why that is the case, and if they can get some with Elites, just so we don't get sad that they did way with the Elites.

Lets see those kids cry about bad graphics now. Ugh, too tired to update FAQ. I'll do it tomorrow.

Didn't see this post earlier, but I AM complaining. For a title that can output at 1900x1200, the detail is terrible; both first person ans slightly third. Even though the bump map system is supposed to make things look 3D, it cant make up for such flat geometry. Bump mapping should be done for texture details, not replacing geometry.

edit: Although I started this argument based on things like the needler, fp arms, and walls close up, I found a great example of how the geometry needs desparate overhaul to make the game look like it warranted a port to PC.

[Stealth]

wow, that is flat, if they remake it, they should make it a hole lot better, I'll point that out next time I have something I would like to ask Frankie or KP, and I'll see if i can get any where with that, I think I've seen better looking things that Bungie made, but that just looks like the put in new textures, and not go in and make it look more like a detailed model of a Tree.

[Boo Diddly]

its kinda hard to make a texture bend geometry. It looks liek those trees have just 4 sides... I would have gone with at least 8 sides per tree to make them sorta round...

mind you that this is nothalo 2.5

And Hah.
