Bungie redid the Halo engine for PC in a downloadable multiplayer add-on, there is a 60% increase in the performance for all hardware that supports pixel shaders.

I would assume that the same engine, or a very similar one is being used for Halo 2 Xbox [ with alot of new stuff in the engine of course ] so we can expect either more FPS or more graphics in Halo 2 , or both.

wha downloadable multiplayer add on alyuh talking about?

A new patch for halo?

its called HALO CE edition, its a 170mb dload, multiplayer only, the engine is updated so it can run 60% faster on all cards with pixel shaders, on cards without it doens't do a damn thing...

maybe the GLs could get it, and free up 1GB of space by using it for sweats,

and if i remember correctly lots of machines with pixel shader capable cards lag with specular on, plus halo uses shaders for EVERYTHING... try adding -useff to the end of your halo shorcut sometime, it makes it run in shader disabled mode . You will see that halo needs lots of shaders just to make it look acceptable.

I talking about the XBOX HALO 2 game. The thread is about the multiplayer.

Destructable environments and vehicles
dual weapon weilding
Ability to use Elites
Ability to use the Elite Sword
Tracking system with the rocket launcher
Upgraded vehicles and weapons
Better weapons for the Spartans, a more accurate gun instead of the machine gun
The needler has been upgraded, more effective
CTF now has one flag in the middle of a map. You go to the middle and bring it back to base
hidden items in the map and special entrances and opening
The map they showed was an "assault" type map. Elites defend a fortress from SPartans, the map is destructable.
gun turrets are available
Graphics look alot better than the first HALO.
16 player online using LIVE.
Release date is November 9th

and a l33t sword will rock..
