The amount of extras in the Legendary edition is the same as before... we just don't need as many discs for it.

One thing I don't like is that I've heard the 4-disc count in LE is now down to three. HELL NO. We want fo'.(four)

HELL NO! WE WANT FO'!!!
HELL NO! WE WANT FO'!!!

I suggest you contain yourself lest you be banned for violating the play nice rule. At least the people complaining about Halo 2 for Windows Vista info do it in a non-rule violating way. [/q]

With all-due-respect it is right time for some complaining. I will not sit idly by and watch something I am anticipating and something alot of other are to, just fade into the sunset because you won't talk to Hired Gun and have them post something. Heck all we would want is at least an open Q&A session to see how things are coming.

Again no offense.

LOL. the only vehicles that fires plasma mortars are the Wraith and the Banshee. I'm pretty sure Frankie meant Banshee. Ghosts dont fire plasma mortar bombs into the air. Confirmed.

PC/CE didn't have any single player support either, it was all unlocked by steelix and Kornman. The editing video made it clear scripting will be available.

You people forget what it was like in the history of CE modding. When CE was released, we were given a basic tutorial about how to add in new BSPs, locked tools, and no support or feedback from the Dev's. We are going into the H2EK with 3 years of CE modding expierence, most of which is unchanged.

Sigh. "Pay attention to the fans that got us where we are today"?

You are aware that includes fans of Halo, as well as fans of Marathon, Myth, and Oni, right?

There is no grand conspiracy here. As I said - the choice is between making a poor presentation of Halo 2 Vista content or deferring to the Microsoft marketing so we can focus our efforts on Halo 3. We choose the latter - we'd just be duplicating content anyway (ever compared the Halo Xbox section to the Halo PC section of this website)?

Sketch MIGHT isn't good enough. Either post it or tell us you really don't give a -blam!- about how the game turns out. Because god forbid you do your duty to your loyal fans that supported you in the days of Marathon because they don't have a 360 crammed into their -blam!- areas.

Oh and by the way not to sound mean but I have dealt with the utter crap that was Halo 1 PC for years the reason it is so is because Bungie wasn't involved they let Ms take care of it. Do not make the same mistake twice. But I really don't care because when Halo 3 is done your out of a cash cow and you'll either have to do something new or actually pay attention to the fans that made you are what you are today.

I'm pretty sure Achronos isn't talking about Halo 2 for Windows Vista,he's talking about the guy who is mouthing off because no one gave a specific date about when the Halo 3 beta suppose to start.

  • 03.16.2007 5:09 PM PDT

don't take me too seriously..

The update still says.. Water update is short and sweet this week: They added a huge rippling splash for when you shoot a Banshee plasma mortar into the water
Whats up with that?

Well since Hired Gun has upped the texture res and probably added a few things. This time it is a totally different thing then what Gearbox did with just leaving everything pretty much the way it was before. :)

How do you know what Gearbox did?

Stop blabbing about things you obviously know nothing about.

WHY, If your not going to sell them?

Nice update Frankie(as always). Also, I don't see why everyone wants Halo 2 Vista info. so much. I mean it would be nice but it will pretty much be the same stuff we heard when Halo 2 came out.



yeah agreed..why??

and agreed again, its halo 2..but pc..maybe with higher resolutions...halo 2 vista is mainly for people who dont have it on xbox..maybe

You can't enlarge resolution without losing picture clarity.

War is when the young and stupid are tricked by the old and bitter into killing eachother.

it's almost scary to know that we can make AI that aware of their surroundings. that's awsome! can't wait! nice stuff, keep it coming.
