To a certain extent, I have to agree with Death. Although I do think some of the textures look completely new (judging from the screenshots), it appears as if the only aspect of the game that Bungie has really polished is the MC.
Of course, it is a bit early to pass judgement. Besides, the original Halo wasn't
exactly a groundbreaking game as far as graphics go. And even though it's not on par with Half-Life 2 (or maybe even UT 04!), it's still Halo.
