Halo 2 weirdness

Is it me? It's just me right? Or do all the videos in Halo 2 look a little... weird? I dunno, but there is something really weird about the videos in Halo 2. Like that odd ainmation on the level where they get on to the Halo, the droppods are falling, but the covies are shooting at em (weird how the grunt gets on the gun, but falls and tries again) and there is this weird camera angle and the pods are falling SOO slowly and oddly...


And then it's even weirded when he opens his drop pod(the MC)!

But jesus, does anyone else think there is something funky about the vidoes?

I thought all the cut scenes were awesome! It watched like a friggin movie; animation looked smooth to me. I'll keep an eye out next time I run through the campaign.

The grunt thing was noticed by me too... But the angle is okay, and the slow falling stuff is because they have emergency thrusters to reduce impact.

Maybe grunts are just clumsy, I think they were trying to put something funny in one of the cut scenes... :?

Yes the cutscenses look weird...The game doesn't look any realistic at all...Looks a bit too much cartoonish.

NO video game has ever looked enough like real life, stop setting your expectations so high.

Yeah about the grunt...does no one apy any attention? If you notice, the grunts always do that when they get into the turret. And what do you mean the graphics are cartoonish? I think they are realistic as graphics are gonna get. (except for doom3 now those graphics are awesome)

It looks more realistic than just about any other game on the market, and stop being so hyped about it, being all like, "Oh its Halo 2 so it must be perfect and created by gods" :?

Did you understand his post? It CANT get any better, I think it is fine where it is because it would just put bungie into overload.

Yea there is, but its not the movies, maybe its your eyesight, or maybe its that thing where for a split second they add in all the textures and you can see it happening, they say this cuts down on load time but my game still takes 2-3 minutes loading.

Well ok........Bungie could've worked on the cutscenes a bit more..Especially the frigggin ending.

Yea the ending we ALL agree on, but not much couldve been done to the cutscenes.

We've been waiting for 4 years and they actually started working on the game finishing in one and a half years....So they could've used all that time more wisely.
