Hi
I was wondering today at school what would pro-programmers use for their graphics. Say like Halo/Halo2/Halo3. Would they create their own or use DirectX/OpenGL?

Pick up a game, look at the box and it usually says "needs DX10" or "OpenGL" or ....
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Sometimes both.
The halo series most likely used DirectX since it was for a microsoft console.
Doom 3, or should I say, John Carmack, uses OpenGL ... and that's all that really matters in Graphics programming anyway.
I'd say that most open-source programmers use OpenGL/MESA, whereas companies like Blizzard or EA would use DirectX.
