Read the article here! Very good read about some of the new features in H2V... and a screen of the dedicated server page! :-o

Anyway, it's a good read, I'd recommend checking it out.

Some cool stuff there, I personally like the "Tray and Play". I love the fact that I don't have to put the disk in everytime I want to play, I love games like that, tha'll be a really nice conveniance. I also like the fact that voice chat is both in AND out game.

Kinda' Cool.

I installed mine yesterday. I didn't lose "any" files and have had very minimal problems with it. ;)

these improvements are things that'll make those people who've said "Halo 2 Vista will suck" or "Halo 2 Vista is not real" (I've gotten a few of those) eat their words!

Can you play Halo 2 on that?

Improved Graphics: Like, much improved. We can now see why this game is only available on Vista. The game features much higher resolution, and higher LOD models. Everything just feels more realistic, especially when you crank the resolution up to 1680x1050.

Since Vista is no different compared to XP seeing H2 doesn't use DX10...

I also wish they'd stop raving about that "Tray and Play"; it's getting annoying. What's an extra 2 mins?

Everything else looks pretty good.

I agree. Okay, it seems like a hassle at first and it may seem that it goes on forever, but after you do it once or twice it's really no big deal. If you're not smart or patient enough to handle a simple installation, do everybody a favor and don't bother playing PC games at all. I mean, don't get me wrong, it seems cool and it makes it easier to just put the disk in and play, but like you said, what's an extra two (or thirty, depending on what kind of PC you have) minutes?

So, the fact that H2V will look better then Halo 2 XBOX and the fact that u can use a mouse and keyboard doesn't make a difference to you? Hmmm interesting, i like your enthusiasm about the release of H2V

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Those arent improvements those are expectations for a release on this platform. They are requirements even.

Nessy doesn't care if a game is good or successful so much as how competitive it is and how much skill is involved in playing.

  • 04.22.2007 2:41 PM PDT

What it is.

For me Having fun>competitiveness. The best combination though is having fun while playing competitively.

Yeah, an annoying thing about online games with voice built in is the whining kids who scream very loud and break your windows. :D It's good you can remove it. The idea of not having to put the disk in everytime you play is good. Does anyone know if it will be similar to Counter-Strike, where even if you don't have the disc, you can still install it if it's on your Windows Live account? For example, someone at my house scratched my CS disk and I didn't have it installed on my new computer. There was no problem because it was on my steam account, very convenient . Btw, I'm new to Bungie forums, I hope I enjoy it here.

Anyone know how they are doing the voice chat? Will it be purely based on being able to chat with people on your friends list or people that you have tracked down, or will it be based on 'chat to all people in this game/server'?

Most PC games allow you to just download with discs and never be able to use discs again...
