Halo 2 has less apparant variation on material styles on Forerunner surfaces. Halo 1 has some moderately matte surfaces, but it also busts out some crazy dynamic specularity when it feels like it.
Halo 2 doesn't completely fail at using its particular Forerunner material flavours, but I don't think it succeeds nearly as well as its predecessor, either. And sometimes it falls on its face (some of those Stonerunner areas look just plain muddy).
