Gearbox, the company who was responsible for the port for the original Halo Combat Evolved to the PC, which many people believe responsible for the shoddy netcoding, lack of co-op and other problems. Others believe that Bungie is partly to blame for the problems due to putting strict limitations on the game, leading to hampering of the redesign efforts.
Now, Gearbox was a fully separate company, while Hired Gun is a separate branch of Microsoft Games (the same MS Games which now owns Bungie as well)... but it looks increasingly to me that H2V is outside Bungie's remit, by the looks of things. What's more, even the original Halo was intended for the PC, while the original H2 was built ground-up for Xbox (that last line is pure media hyperbole I just made up, but is another scary thought).
Whatever the cause for HPC, will H2V turn out in a similar state?
