Repent and you will be shown mercy, resist and a force of which the likes has never been seen will come down upon you, and your race!

I Don't think Scarlet crusade is a female. No woman in their right mind would be on this thread.

Then again, if you are a woman scarlet, I apologize.

I do beg your pardon, for I am a woman. =O Don't be so quick to judge.


I sincerely apologize. *takes bigot badge and hides it in coat*
Someone's acting a bit cocky.

This might sound ARG-worthy if you weren't using an avatar I made.

You guys are so daft... You totally derailed this whole thread because of some chick. For any females out there, try not to actually tell anyone your gender here, because the people here aren't mature enough to handle females here.

That aside. I do think the AI might be slightly better. For example, on the first Arbiter level, your Grunt buddies seem to shoot MUCH faster with their plasma pistol. One grunt can kill a monitor easy. But it seems as if in Halo 2 Xbox, they seem to just stand there, and shoot very slow. I'm not sure if there actually is a difference, but I've seen a few subtle (and not-so subtle) AI behavioral changes.

One huge difference is the SOUND. They added a new Ghost boost sound effect, and all the sounds in the game are incredibly crisp. They've even added new ambient sound in some of the levels (like Elongation).

There also seem to be more particle effects in the game that I never saw before, and the Plasma Rifle, covie turret, Banshee/Ghost bolts all look very, very nice now.

That's all I can think of for now.

It doesn't come with a map editor, it just comes with tools to compile them into maps. You still need to own a basic 3D modelling/mapping program like 3DS Max (which can go anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000 for a software license).


Yes, it does come with a map EDITOR. It edits. You must make the materials yourself with the 3D Modeling Software, but Halo 2 Vista is capable of editing your materials into map form.

Come on, Ryanman. Scarlet Crusade? That just screams feminism. Actually, no, it doesn't. Nevermind.


Ok there "Kimmy." I'd be more worried if it was actually Mistress Kim. :P
If all you ignorant jackasses out there didn't know, "Kim" is an extremely common Korean family name, kthxmfbai!

Besides, why would my name be Master Kim is I was a girl?

Someone's mouth has verbal diahria. I guess someone is too dependent on laxatives <.<

But let's be honest. In order to actually make maps you need the 3D modeling software, not the tools that edit the files, for the tools don't actually allow you to make the maps, so all it really is is an editor, not a map editor. When you say "it comes with a map editor," you would get in your mind an image that it comes with a "map creator."

I made 250 to be exact. The admins only put in about 20 though, and I didn't even feel like they were the best ones out of the 250. They keep saying they're going to put in more later though.

I was joking, Kim. I actually assumed that you were Korean, and it seems I was dead-on-the-spot.

Though it won't stop me from inserting shameless jokes in the future about your user name. :P

Oh, I knew you knew, that was just directed towards the people who didn't know. And I won't stop making references to your Spartan identity; after all, THIS! IS! BUNGIE!

Agamemnon, I looked at your sig, and apparently it isn't there for decoration, because it's not there at all!

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

The FOV in H2V is zoomed in a bit more, makes it strange to play with a mouse.

Actually, if I wanted it to direct myself to Spartans directly, I would've named myself Menelaus. Agamemnon was king of Mycenae and Menelaus was king of Sparta. Both were brothers though.

You see, I know that, but others wouldn't notice the difference unless they read their Epics. ;)
