In Response To: a new halo 2 screen!? (op_ivy) : dont know where it originated, but enjoy
Interesting image... My apologies if these have been mentioned already, but here's some things I noticed after increasing the brightness and taking a good look at BOLL's massive version. On the new Covenant weapons there's an oddly shaped object protruding from where the scope would normally be on your average assault rifle. What could it be? The new Elites are buff! The neck of the Elite in the rear is extremely excellent, it really has a beefy, fleshed-out look. Take a close look and you can see the shadows that are cast by the buldges of its muscles. Their new abs and chest-cavities are also noteworthy, as well as the shiny new eyes with their jet black sheen. Something funny is going on with the shadows. Aside from any self-shadowing, the Elite in the background is casting only one shadow on the ground. This means that there's either an extremely bright light-source off-screen that is phasing out the shadows cast by the light-emitting devices on the wall, or not all of the light-sources in this scene are casting shadows. We've seen it before, but it's interesting to note that the Elite's orange patches appears to be emitting light of their own. As op-ivy noted earlier, the floor does indeed appear to be a reused texture from Halo 1 (with a few slight changes), and it seems to be using little or no bump-mapping. Odd. |
