like in halo ce i know that

!: was for render only

^: was for climbing a certain material

-: was for breakable glass

%: was for double sided; glass

$: was for fog

are these rules the same for halo 2?

[solofortne]

Some are the same but a lot have changed, like % is now for instanced geometry.

[Ki11a_FTW]

[solofortne]

That was posted somewhere in the forums, can't remember by who though.
