does anti aliasing, anisotropic filtering and etc makes games like diablo2 look any better?

AA and AF are only affecting Â§d graphics....isn't Diabolo 2D renders?

AA will smooth out jaggies in 2D games like the trees,wells and other sprite-ish graphics.
AF on the other hand doesn't seem to enhance any 2D games textures
the yeti-ish monsters in D2 are 3D along with a few others AA hits those

and I thought D2 was 2.5D, some sort of psuedo 3D
