You am Welcome Frankie. Next time it will be your head.

Blah.

The AI improves the predictive targeting of an AI gunner, so that now, he’s going to shoot where he thinks you’re looking, with a frightening degree of accuracy. Balancing that in Campaign would have been problematic in Halo: CE or Halo 2, since it would have been too powerful a weapon, but in Halo 3, there is simply so much going on, and so many targets to focus on, that improving it is actually necessary to stop the game being too hard.

It works especially well in letting you steer the vehicle and the camera to tempt the gunner into targeting an individual. So if a brute is giving you a really hard time, lobbing Brute Grenades, for example, you can easily cause the gunner to pick that guy as your next target with simple steering and looking. And it doesn’t matter if he’s in the center of a group of five or six Grunts. If you’re aiming correctly, the AI gunner will know the difference and concentrate on the Brute, not because it’s a Brute, but because you’ve chosen him as the target.

that makes no sence. is she saying you can play the game with the helmet on?

Bungie, either post an Update on Halo 2 Vista or remove the link from your site. You are clearly abandoning this project before it has even launched. And don't use the look at other sites excuse on me either. There is LOADS upon LOADS of info on Halo 3 but there is next to none on Halo 2 Vista. Post some new screens, post some graphical updates, post something on the editing kit but for god's sake post something or even acknowledge that the game exists OR remove the link to the H2V section from the main page.


Bungie's next game that our studio is developing is Halo 3. We're not developing Halo 2 for Windows Vista. The game does exist as evidenced by the weekly blog updates that Hired Gun is posting over at IGN.

Our new site is launching next week so you might get your wish.


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.


Attention all who are awaiting H2V stfu. If you r too cheap to buy a 360 or xbox u have no right to complain. H2V is probably gonna be like halo 2 on xbox anyways like halo CE on pc so quit friggin complaining. God. Sorry bungie i just cant take it anymore. plz bungie either give them there preciouse info or ban them for friggen taking up room in the forums with this junk.

Don't dis H2V or you will feel the wraith of the Maw upon you like so many flamethrowers lighting you up. We just want Bungie to post the data we already know so that we can feel like we're noticed.

Bungie all you had to do was put in two lines.
Halo 2 Vista update
The game is coming out May eighth

That was all we wanted, eleven little words.

A computer cost more then an Xbox 360, heck most of our graphics cards cost more then your entire console. Keyboard and Mouse > Controller
Also people who are like this make me want to create an IP viewer, find where you live, and...
Well you get the idea.

P.S.

I was crushing Frankie in our 1v1 Halo 3 grudge match and he started CHEATING before the game could officially end. (using our debug builds means Frankie can do devious things like enable 'deathless' mode or simply drop rocket launchers wherever he wants to in a desperate attempt to stave off defeat) Prior to the cheating I was up 8 to 3 and clearly on a roll. Bam.

I too also feel we deserve more Halo 2 Vista updates... like it or not, the Halo series is the only real source of revenue for Bungie at this time... and to leave Halo PC fans in the dark due to the fact that you're "more focused" on Halo 3 is ridiculous. I imagine that there's probably someone at Bungie who is more than qualified to either write an update or get into touch with HG, or AT LEAST speak out on the supposed May 8th release date. Now I saw a supposed press release from MS about that May 8th date being true, but I've not seen it in any place that I know to be a credible source of info... gee, it'd be nice if Bungie could at least write a one sentence news post saying "Halo 2 Vista is confirmed for May 8th".

To say the fans that you don't have time for Halo 2 is just garbage, I highly doubt that you're really that separated from HG, considering they are fracking with your game, I would think you guys would want to stay in touch. Besides, I've seen Frankie (or someone else) talking about playing beta's of H2V; so if we have time to play the beta then why not write in detail about it?

The only real surge of info was the H2V Developer Week... that was good, so if we had time for that, why can't we do something similar again? I'm not here to talk trash on Bungie for leaving their PC game fans in the dark; simply to state my opinion. My opinion is that just because we don't have the money to buy a $300 (or $400) dollar console, we shouldn't be left out for wanting to play a truly great game on a PC, which is a system of choice for myself and a lot of people.



Thanks,
- Mr. Map
