Over at the Ascendant Justice forums, a dedicated member took the time to take some screenshots of Halo 2, and compare them with screenshots from the Halo 3 Beta leak. Thirteen previously unseen shots after the jump.
Eight seminal games were released on the gaming market between October 26 and November 23, 2004. Twenty years later, here's Wccftech's retrospective.
You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.
Unexpected characters, infamous cliffhangers, and an E3 demo that time forgot.
My favourite of the series... I have only played 3 though
Never a big fan of the original but number two blew me away with it's scale, the bit at the beginning when you're driving a tank across this giant bridge whilst shooting down flying enemies lives in my head. Always rocked the double needler
as much as I liked it, it was one of the first game endings where I went "you gotta be f'ing kidding me!"
I still remember the gameplay reveal during E3 2003.. Man, the graphics was like a major upgrade from Halo 1 and it blew everybody's mind. It looked miles ahead of anything on PlayStation 2 and the score was epic! When it launched, Halo 2 was worthy of every bit of hype it generated.
This in my opinion is one of the best Halo games (Alongside 1 and Reach). It introduced the prophets, you could play an elite which was awesome, dual handling SMG, amazing graphics for its time on original Xbox and so many more.
The city levels had flat textures and streaming issues but the assault on the Temple with the ODST team was an unforgettable experience. I still remember how detailed the buildings covered with moss and grass were like and the water element in the temples was perfectly utilized.
Replayed this gem on MCC and had a blast.
A new Halo 3 mod turns the iconic Master Chief into a Pokémon % Master as functional Pokeballs come to the game.

All taken by me, uncompressed, and straight from the source. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have about them. Halo 3 screenshots are courtesy of NeoGAF.
and water looks good too.
Impressive work, Drew!
No doubt the Beta looks better than the already finished Halo 2 but what gets me is all the Sony fans making a big deal out of it its understandable for exicted Halo/360 fans to compare progress but bashing a Beta with nothing but place holders in it so fans and devs can do gameplay test has me thinking it just isn't worth posting these comparison pics. Oh! well!.
Some of the pictures look fantastic for Halo 3. Halo 2 reminds me of that like James Bond N64 look. Halo 3 has that real life feel. Just watch come October when we see new screens we're "going to sh*t our pants" lol
