In Response To: Technical Terrain Question (Lloyd Wright) : Hello all, : not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I'll ask it anyway! : "Does Halo use tiled regular grids (height maps) for the terrain, or an : irregular grid with some clever Level Of Detail algorithm" Halo can be seen to use LOD in some of the movies, so that is in there regardless. It was originally based on the Myth 2 engine, which used regular heightmaps,but it's been rewritten at least twice by now so that may no longer be true.
