!!!!!!!!

HALO 2 just got delayed until Q1 '04

Now I wasn't expecting it till Nov. of 03, so this isn't that huge of a delay. But the thing is, if they delay it once, they'll delay it again.

I had somehow convinced myself that bungie were not restricted by the gods of time and could manipulate the flow of said time at their will, but obviously this is not the case.

Now I can only pray the game hits the fall of '04 :(

DAMNIT TO HELL!!

MY LIFE IS SH*T!!!

*remembers planetside*

ok it's not so bad anymore.

Horray for planetside! My savior!!!

Nope, you aren't alone. I've played and beaten Halo. Lame.

There are no triggers to speak of, you just walk through and shoot things. The supposed 'awesome' AI just has unGodly accuracy on Legendary. IMO this doesn't begin to match Half-Life's AI system. What I've heard, but could care less to verify, is that there were several more weapons in Halo that were removed when Microsoft bought it, along with the PC port idea. Halo ran at a meek 30fps peak. There were less than 10 weapons which is sad for any FPS. The only vehicle that was any fun to drive was the Warthog and the Ghost. The others were slow and lame or only in Story mode.

Pleasure toward a game is completely opinion. I wouldn't take a rating as "best console FPS ever" as a compliment. Seriously, look at what the FPS genre has on Console. It's top two competetors were Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, both by Rare both on the Nintendo 64; a system that was dwarded by the PSX. Some may take that as a title to wear with pride. But, nothing will ever steal "Best FPS period, ever." (did that on purpose) from Half-Life. Except maybe Half-Life 2.

Looking at all that; you can see why I despise to call Halo anything remotely "the best". If I were to get an X-Box, DOA3 would be my top choice atm. Not because it's halfnaked fighter chicks, hell I seldomly use them. But, because it's the most expansive fighting game I've ever seen. Crazy moves, insane graphics, wonderful fighting engine. That is a game. Halo is only mediocre.

Bah. More weapons do -not- make for a better game. Who -cares- if you have six different kinds of machine guns. One will -always- be better than the rest, so the rest don't get used.

Yes, Halo was short. I beat the whole game on whatever the second difficulty level was in 8 hours (on a borrowed XBox, so I'm glad I didn't waste my money). Lame. But it -is- fun. I just wish they'd not killed the PC version (though, last I heard, which was a very very long time ago, they were -supposedly- going to still release it).

The multiplayer was more fun, but you could never find enough people with XBoxes to play.

I agree halo wasn't that good. It didn't suck, but it wasn't as good as everyone hyped it to be. The auto aim ruined it for me. Basically in multiplayer the person who wins is the one who starts shooting the other with the pistol first. The sniper takes some skill, but the game still bores me. More variety in weapons and vehicles, and taking away auto aim woulda made it much better. Also, the single player was too easy. It was a "Good" game, but not amazing. I think the best console FPS of all time was perfect dark, and still is. So, you aren't the only one.

Yes, i have played it, frequently. Alot of my friends have it and we have an Xbox too, so we have been able to borrow it at times. Ive also been to a party thing where we had 4 Xboxs LAN'd. That was kinda fun.

But the game itself, i dont like. My man gripe is that the joysticks on the controller are just horrible, but i guess im just too used to using the mouse for FPS games. I could go on about whats good and whats bad, but ill just say that for my tastes the bads outweigh the good.

Dues Ex was great. Though I sucked horribly at it and never had the patience to make it very far at all.

lol, this is pathetic. Everyone here says they played Halo and they hated it. What a load of crap. Your hatred toward the game just comes from the fact it's not coming out on the PC anymore, and I could care less. I have Xbox and PS2, and I can play any game I want, but I played Halo for over 2 years. Why? It's fun and never gets old. Hell, I still play it now from time to time. Personally, I thought Half-Life was over-rated. You hate Halo because you run around and shoot things? WTF do you expect from a FPS? You did the same thing in Half-Life. Thing is, Half-Life was shallow and sucked. There was less story in it than there was in Halo, but they're both FPSs, so it doesn't really matter. Quake and Doom are legends, but they had no story. Whatever, I don't care about HL one way or the other, I threw it away long ago, just don't hate Halo because you can't get it.

Lol I had no idea people were so uneducated about this subject!!

And I'm not talking about ppl who don't like the game, that's fine with me. I think that if you were given the right partner to play with your opinion would change, but whatever, you hating it doesn't mean I'll like it less. And saying that I'm dumb for liking it won't make it a worse game for me.


Anyway, I didn't know that the PC version of Halo was such a mystery to so many of you.

The PC version is NOT canned, in fact it's progressing very well, and PC screenshots were released not so long ago in PC gamer I believe. Gearbox is heading the development of the PC port and it's heading for a summer release, probably june or july.

The Halo port is the reason that CS: Condition Zero got delayed so much, since Gearbox WAS doing that as well, but MSFT kept dropping them bags of money to work on Halo more. Finally, Gearbox gave Condition Zero to a different developer and now CZ is heading for a spring release, while Gearbox devotes all energy to Halo.

Gearbox's involvement with halo is also behind much of the disappointment from their iteration of 007 Nightfire. So obviously a good ammount of energy is going into this product.

And yes, there will be online play. Nothing to the extent that Halo 2 will have (be jelous, be very jelous), but you will be able to play all available multiplayer game modes from Halo 1 over the internet on your computer. And there are rumors of more levels being included.

There you go guys, a Degree in Halo on PC all in one post! Consider yourselves edjucated.

And anyone that says "halo for pc is cancelled" is misinformed, stupid, or both.

So you are saying that I can't, not like Halo for a legitimate reason that it has some of the most hyped AI and gameplay ever. That people failed to research it and bought into said hype.

Halflife succeeds because it has umpteen thousand mods.
But, at the very least, Half-Life runs at well over 60fps
I can play Half-life online, damn near anytime I want, with over 32 people, that can't watch my screen as I play.

Halo has .. Halo.
Halo runs at 30fps on average.
Halo has 4 player split screen.
Oh but if you get 4 more X-Boxs and 4 TV's you can have all out 4 +4 +4 +4 split screen action!

Please tell me I don't want an Xbox and Halo because I can't get one. Please do. I want to laugh at you some more.

Edit: Last I heard, about 1000 months ago, PC Halo was canned. Never cared much to follow it up.

Yeah, you're right. I've edited the two posts containing said content because I agree with you and regret that I posted them.

>>2) People who brag about how much sex they have only do so because they are not having any.

I agree, and can't really argue that I have or have not had sex considering the medium we're using, so my own self-knowlege will suffice.

>>3) Calling us stupid and talking to us as if we were your third grade class mates is rude, we dont like it and when you do it we dont like you. Dont do it.

If I did this it was unintentional. I was simply explaining to you all about Halo PC since NO one seemed to know about, which brings us to our next point...

>>4) Halo 1 for PC is as dead as your sex life.

I'd agree with you here too, except you're wrong. You're right in all points (though my talking down to you was unintentional) except this. It is, in fact, alive and well as of the most recent issue of PC Gamer, a more reliable source of info I'll never know. Until I hear otherwise from the same or higher sources, then Halo 1 for PC is very much alive and well, but your analogy still holds true :)

Allow me to appologize on behalf of the other halo lovers in this thread. No game is perfect, and no game appeals to everyone. Those of us who like halo tend to REALLY REALLY like it, not because it's for tEh xBoX or because Bungie is our god, but because, if it suits you, then you tend to NEVER GET BORED of it, for reasons I cannot explain other than it is a game of the highest production value.

Regardless, I'm sorry we don't share an opinion on this matter but I respect yours and agree with you on many of your points about other games, and I hope you can respect my position of Pro-Halo.

Thanks for your time and effort in posting in this thread, your opinions are valuable to us all, as are everyone's who takes the time to not use caps and not flame, etc.

I hate Bungie for selling out, now they'll never make any new myth games (awesome games) and Halo got ruined by going console only. If they kept it to PC it would of been so much better, first the graphics could of been better as they wern't limited to the xbox. Second the multiplayer maps could of been much bigger and better because the ones on xbox are so few and most are designed for 4 players. Third they could of had rocking multi-player with 32 players or so across the internet on huge maps with lots vechiles. Forth they could of made it moddable so that it would have alot more replay value. Face it Halo would of been much better and more flexible on PC but of course the designers could care less how good it is when microsoft waves alot of green in front of their eyes.

My only problem with all console FPS games is the slight auto aim in them. They have to have it, or the game would be to hard for average people, but it still annoys me.

In anycase i loved Halo, the autoaim was almost unnoticable, the game play was fun, but the best part was co-op play. Myself and a friend spent about 8 hrs playing legendary. First we played from the beginning. Then we got to the flood. Impossible, or so damn close it makes no difference lol. So we skipped ahead, beat the last level and had alot of laughs.

PC halo would replace Halflife easily. The game halflife was horrible in my opinion, and the only reason its so hailed is its mods. CS, TFC, DOD, NS, VS and the other 30 odd i have installed on the computer are the only reason i still have a halflife cd not being used as a coster. Now picture these mods on a Halo engine, and realise the Halo gameplay was far superior to halflife and suddenly the champ is stripped of his title.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Can't put enought 'i's in that one.

Think hard about that one. And if you still can't figure it out, then you don't know much about computer hardware and the computer software market.

In the fall of 2001 there wasn't a single computer on the market no matter how you upgraded it that would be able to run halo with all its graphical effects at a constant 30 fps. Let alone split the screen two, three, and even four times and still maintain that fps.

But even if there WAS (and when the Geforce 4 was released about 5 months later, there were) the game would still not be able to be relased on the PC because in order to get even close to xbox quality graphics you'd have to have a computer that you spent over 3,000 bones on and within the last two months of the game's release. That's about, oh, .03% of their market. Hmm hmm, yeah lets make a game that NO ONE CAN BUY.


Making a game for a console means that EVERYONE can play it and they don't need to program for the lowest common denominator.

I don't care what else you want to say about Halo for xbox, just don't dis the graphics, because that's obvious favoritism. There is in fact nothing wrong with Halo's graphics, they're quite excellent, and remain a benchmark for all PC games graphics. With the new Unreal engine being the only released titles to surpass it on virtually any level.

It's not the specs, it's how it works. Your computer has to deal with a bulky OS as well as ineffient ways for communicating with its various parts and peices. xbox has no such issue and if indeed you got your computer before the release of the xbox than I'd be willing to bet the xbox could beat it from a benchmarking standpoint.

Even if it couldn't, however, that doesn't change the fact that xbox games until very VERY recently have looked better than PC games in general because coding for the xbox you can use the system to it's maximum potential, whereas on the computer you must program for the lowest common denominator.




>>>I also fail to see how 'dising' Halos graphics hurts you in any way.


I'm about an open a person as they come. I own all three consoles and I have a really beefy gaming PC as well. I spend on average almost $300 on game software alone in a month. So if someone likes or doesn't like a game, that's fine, to each his own.

But there are some things that aren't refuteable or arguable. Such things include:

- The PS2 has the most games available of all the new consoles
- The Gamecube isn't TOTALLY worthless
- The Xbox is the most powerful of all three consoles by FAR.
- Halo has fantastic graphics.


You can argue about the framerate, because if you're used to PC games 30 FPS can seem a bit slow, though it doesn't bother me, but as far as sheer graphical quality, it simply cannot be denied that Halo is very close to the top of the heap.

If you honestly disagree with this, then you've been playing it on an awful TV, with an RF switch as your video input. Or something.

Come over and I'll show you some of Halo's hotness.



If you don't like the game, that's fine, but don't get up in the graphics, because they're good, and you're blatantly wrong if you say otherwise.

Huh, halo is my favorite game. The story is AWESOME, especially if you've read the book 'The Fall of REach'' which is a prequel to the game, it's about MC (John) growing up and becomign a spartan, and the war with the covenant.

The only thing I did not like was that it was on xbox, I don't like using the joysticks for fps (and espcially despise rts games on consoles) as well as there was no possibility to mod.

http://www.gearboxsoftware.com is where halo pc is being developed, and it WILL come out, I've talked to them. It will most likely be editable, have a few extras (most likely being able to use ALL weapons in the game, including the swords and such) and the multiplayer SHOULD support 64, with new maps, ALL vehicles (banshee dogfights anyone?) as well as a crapload of other things. Also, it may support Gmax, easy editing, ah yes. I personally rate halo as the best fps ever, I HATE halflife with a passion, don't know why, just do.

It's interesting as a quick read, not literature by any means, especially considering what i'm used to reading, and it tries (often painfully) to mimic Ender's Game, which is simply the end all be all for this type of novel, but it's a nice addendum to a great game storyline.

That sounds a lot like Halo before Microsoft bought out Bungie. No joke. When they did they canned 60% of the features in Halo. Then canned the PC version (which is now reawakened according to some - Which I won't be bothered to verify as I don't want this game). It actually seems possible. Microsoft says it's canned to get the people waiting to get it on computer to blow big bucks to nab it on their console. Cha-ching! Hey guys, lets open it up for the PC market again! The return of Cha-ching!

Regardless, if you were to remake NS on the Halo engine, I still wouldn't play it. I don't see the point. The Halo engine has what exactly? Particle effects? They put those in NS with the Half-Life Engine. 32 Bit Textures? They did the same with the Half-Life Engine. Natural Selection literally rewrote some aspects of the Half-Life engine. Halo comes out 4 years after Half-Life? It's not an improvement that I believe 4 years should be noted of. Which this whole thread is based on opinions, so of course their going to vary. There are more than just Engine, AI, and other technical reasons that I don't like Halo.

The level design was unbelievably lame. It looked as if they could have copy/pasted the same room up to 10 times per map.
Shooting Aliens in games don't appeal to me. Unless those aliens are controlled by real people, it's like shooting deer in the woods.
Removing flying vehicles from Multiplayer.
Lack of guns and equipment variations.
Lack of types of enemies (a total of 5? different enemies...)
Impossibility of future expansion.

For those who say things like "People who don't like Halo are jealous because they got a Gamecube" or whatever. I laugh. Like I said, I could trade consoles with my cousin anytime I please. But, there is no way I'd give up Eternal Darkness, Zelda, Mario (all of them), Bloody Roar, Smash Bros, and Starfox for his Halo. Call me crazy but that trade looks way too much in his favor.

First off, IMO halo was much much better than half-life.

as far as your problems with Halo:
-With regards to levels you are partially right. Most of the levels were awesome, however there were a number of levels that were very redundant (and then sometime you had to go back through the redundant levels the opposite way :( ). However there were many gorgeous and well designed levels. The number of these outnumbered the redundant ones.

-I saw nothing wrong with shooting the aliens. I thought the AI was impressive. There were stupid alien types that would play stupid on any level of play. However the tougher enemies played very smart, especially when you played on the harder modes. How is shooting ai aliens like shooting deer, but shooting AI humans is not like shooting deer?

-With regards to the multiplayer, I thought the multiplayer was very lacking. I never had a chance to play 16 player and don't I think most halo owners did either. The multiplayer levels were way too big for 2-4 players. Halo could have been a better multiplayer game but it wasn't.

-I thought the weapons were very well done. All of the weapons were very useful in some respect. There were no garbage weapon. I found that I used very different weapons when I played it in legendary mode than I did when I played it in normal mode. Different weapons were more effective against different enemies so you had to think about which weapons you wanted to carry. I loved the way you could only carry 2 weapons at a time and that when a battery powered weapon's power ran out, you needed a new one. None of the weapons were cheesey. The grenades were awesome and very easy to use. You can't tell me you didn't like the plasma grenades and how they stuck to enemies (and how they would run around in a panic when stuck to one)

-You are missing about half of the enemies if you onle count 5. Off the top of my head I count 4 types of the covenant enemy type, plus 5 of the Flood type enemies., and there were the drones. I don't think 10 differnt enemies that you regularly run into is a bad number.

-No room for future expansions??? :confused: What is HALO 2 then?

I'll call you crazy then. ;) Although I have not played the new Zelda, I have played all of the other Game Cube games that you listed. I would not trade HALO for a single on of them.

Halo is not going to win multiplayer awards. However Halo is by far the best and most fun single player FPS that has come out IMO.

Shooting aliens are like shooting deer. The AI had nothing to do with it. I just don't find the AI of Halo to 'groundbreaking'. Half-Life in my opinion, matched and possibly surpassed the AI. They ran from grenades, flanked you, called in backup, etc, etc.
I'd much rather shoot humans and human forms. Which Half-Life supplied after the initial Resonance Cascade enemies. I don't find killing little things that blurt random sounds interesting.

-You are missing about half of the enemies if you onle count 5. Off the top of my head I count 4 types of the covenant enemy type, plus 5 of the Flood type enemies., and there were the drones. I don't think 10 differnt enemies that you regularly run into is a bad number.
Grunt
Elite
Those gargantuan things that you can one hit pistol whip.
Small flood that you just ignore anyway.
The standing Flood.
The crawling flood thing that explodes.
--Recolored enemies (ie. Red Elite, Blue Elite) are virtually the same thing.

-No room for future expansions??? What is HALO 2 then?
You call Halo 2 an expansion? I call it a whole new game. I was in reference to Mods, etc. Things to add-on to the game, not spend another $60.00 for.

1 The little coveneant,
2 the covenant that carried the shields,
3 the bigger covenant that had pesonal shields that were very simlar to the Masterchiefs and some of them had cloaking
4 the great big covenant that had their weapon attached to their arm. (you can one hit pistol whip anything that you sneak up on)

5 the drones

6 the really tiny flood
7 the flood that exploded and produce more tiny floof
