Halo for PC - another lousy console port

yes it is asstacular. I played one level and was disappointed that it's the exact same game I played 2 years ago, except the performance is worse.
 
this is the final retail version, or are you lamers already playing a warez version of the final release....remember that the release floating around a few weeks ago was far from the final version....

I didn't think this was going to be in stores until the 30th..
 
I'm so used to playing at 1024x768 that I didn't try any higher. It still gets choppy for me every once in a while with everything maxed. (system in the sig if you're curious)
 
Ithink people and the high resolution crap are a bunch of BS

I cant tell teh difference in a shoote lrike halo between 1024x768 and 1280


If you think that you need to play that high for it to be 'decent' then get a better computer
 
old game comes to new system. kind of lame to read this post, but I'm not surprised. not just that but they dropped the cooperative mode to I think.

I do think 1280 w/2 AA is overkill. 1024 and AF alone for me thank you.

It's the final version, the release floating around was the 1.5 beta.

Where did you buy it ?

Bah!!!!!!!!! I don't have a 27" monitor, and for those of you with big screen TVs it's even better!

 
fact is no one has confirmation. just warez kiddies whining.

and now the xbox is a "console" ithought it was a "mini pc" from all the previous whining on the subject 😉 that you could run xbox games with a tiny change 😉

You do not that things get sent to stores before release date, don't you?

I got a mail order game arrive a day early (UT2k3 it was), so it's possible they have the full game despite its official release not being "yet".
 
Why do people who download a warez version come on a BBS and bitch about the performance of the game before the final version has even been released?? Buy the game if you're gonna bitch about it :disgust:
 
Everyone needs to behave and be respectful of others, this includes respect to those that have been banned. Just because they are not here or cannot read the posts does not mean you should not show them the same amount of respect as everyone else, to do anything else makes you no better than the individual who was banned.

This is fair warning to EVERYONE.

NSG, it is true that the publisher (EA in the case of Nightfire, Activision in the case of THPS3, MS in the case of Halo PC) has control on releases of patches and other materials pertaining to the game.

The only game we will discuss is Halo, the other games and problems are well documented.

In many previous posts and interviews which you may have missed, it has been stated very clearly that MS, Bungie and Gearbox are devoting resources to very strong post-launch support of Halo.

This support includes the following:

1) Bug fixes, this is very general but the most serious bugs get highest priority. In the 2-3 weeks since Halo was locked down to go to manufacturing, we have found several bugs that we intend to fix immediately or that we have already fixed.

Gearbox and MS ALREADY have a patch that is almost ready for release. We worked straight through the lock down period to insure a strong launch for Halo.

We already have scheduled out the next 2 patches or updates, expect to hear a lot more information on what these will contain in the future. We have a very strong plan that carries product support into the New Year. At that time we will of course make further plans. Right now we are very focused on the next 4 months and how we can improve Halo.

2) Game improvements, this area can sometimes overlap with bug fixes. Game improvements include better support for certain hardware and configurations. This area includes better performance overall and for areas such as rendering and networking. This sometimes involves the hardware manufacturers also, such as ATI and nVidia.

3) Additional features\Bonus features. This includes dedicated servers, access to new features in the UI, new content such as weapons, vehicles, levels, and new features in general.

4) Editing support. This includes the organized release of tools, documents, tutorials, examples, etc... related to end user editing. We do not intend to just "dump the tools" and related resources out into the public. We are organizing everything and doing it right. Gearbox and Bungie are very excited about the prospects for end user editing.

In addition, we are involved with the CPL. The CPL requires a lot of things in order for a game to be competition worthy, expect to hear information about this in the coming weeks.

Expect more news in the coming days and weeks on what will be released in support of Halo for the PC and its community.

I hope this clarifies things.
