First off The comparisons are VERY true... play through any recent pc game (or 360 game ala GoW), then go back and play halo 2... the textures are blurry, the lines are jaggy, and the details are fuzzy. YOu gotta think.. the game is 2 years old... imagine how far we've come since then as far as graphics... the game was top of the line back then... it looked amazing... Remember when the first halo came out and everyone was like "GRAPHICS FTW!!!!"... Better yet.. Remember when N64 graphics were good?
