Wasn't halo 2 also running on a different engine at one point?
Doubtful. Bungie has developed the Halo engine much like Microsoft developed NT -- Blam!, the engine, was improved over and over again for each game - the limitations of the hardware was the determining factor for removing a lot of graphical effects - mainly due to the dev hardware having 128mb ram, and the end-user hardware having only half that.
I remember a picture and a article of pre-retail halo 2. The picture is some grunts in a gray corridor and I think they are exploding from a grenade the player threw. I'm almost positive that article talked about the new engine in the screenshot.
