Well, it's an exaggeration, obviously. But it doesn't look that 'next gen', similar to how people say Halo 3 looks like Halo 2.5 or Halo 2 HD.
Certainly when I first played the arcade version I wasn't much impressed (though the new animations were nice)
I kind of guessed you just wernt that impressed with it, like many others. I just find the Halo 2.5 and "just higher res" comments quite annoying because they really dont mean anything at all.
