There're ingame acording to Bungie website.

Taken from the artice

"The game itself is everything you loved about the original Halo, but with all the knobs turned up to 11 this time round. This is not a quickie "Halo 1.5" follow-up using the same engine. We are using a completely rewritten graphics engine which allows our artists to work in previously unimaginable complexity and detail. Anyone who thinks the original Halo stretched the Xbox's graphical abilities to the limit is mistaken. There are gorgeous new realms to be explored, and Halo 2 will take you there. "

If Bungie can do graphics of this quality on Xbox, Doom 3 is possible.

Mabye you are all just looking at 3 generation Xbox screens, which just look ALOT better than what currently is available. I'm currently checking bungies website to see if they are in fact in-game.

Anyway, who cares if its an FMV, the game comes out around christmas next year.

I don't think in-game screens would be that good at this time in early development, so they are just teasing us with some screens from an FMV.

How can you say GTA3 is a "better" game when you have'nt even played Halo 2, well no-one has really.

GTA3 is just a medicore updated-3D sequel, sure it is fun but once the novelty wears off its quite boring and repetitive.

Those screenshots looks pretty good Mantis, just waiting for the Project Gotham 2 Screenshots now.

Ok, thats FMV. Anyways, looks do make a game a lot more tasty to look at. However Halo II may be crap to play...

.. seriously.

GTA3 is a better game ;)
