Hired Gun did what it promised, didn't it? It transferred Halo xbox onto the PC (perhaps Vista only, but either bungie or Microsoft probibly told them to), and then added onto it a new detail level.[/quote]Hired Gun promised more than it delivered. They promised:
> Higher detail level, , , though when selected doesn't look much different from the xbox version. It's like comparing DX10 details to DX9, theres not much to compare.
They DID add much higher resoulutions to play it on. Although not the most creative, it did add a needed touch.
[> Smooth gameplay, , , not sure about the rest of use but my PC is more powerful than an XBOX and I can tell you that the game runs better on my mates XBOX than it does my PC. I admit that I get better framerates, but even playing at 60+fps it feels like only 30 than we have the constant stuttering which is annoying.
I didn't read anything about them promising for smooth gameplay. And renember; your computer has to handle a Operating System in the background, 40+ processes, and Anti-Virus or a Firewall. a Xbox is basicly built for games, a PC is built for millions of things. 60 FPS to me, is still smooth gameplay.
> Map Editor, , , I could make a better map in Microsoft Paint.
They said they would include a map editor, and they did. they didn't say they would include a map creator
> Live, , , Sux...Sorry but I got hold of the new Steam beta and it just puts Live to shame.
That was a decision given to them by Bungie/and or Microsoft, not Hired Gun's fault they did what they were told.
> Easier navigation system, , , geese thanks for the XBOX user interface jackass. Since when is left mouse button controller (A) for accept?
Although I kinda have to agree with this, but you could still scroll through the interface and get where you wanted.
> Fair play (auto-aim for controllers), , , geese wheres the skill in that? I know its been posted and argued upon but I thought I'd add it.
Again, I'm sure this is another decision given to them by either Bungie or Microsoft. and where's the skill? I'd still go with a Mouse/Keyboard combo rather than a controller, even if the controller has an advantage
And I'm sure they promised other things but I can't be botheres skipping through the internet to find out.
Either that, or you assumed most of this.

I don't know what people were expecting, but it's still Halo 2, through and through.
It's a port of Halo 2 through and through. It's not Halo 2 PC through and through. This game just can't be called a PC game especially since it has so much XBOX features.
It runs on a PC, it's a PC game. Not an Xbox becuase you have to click on A or B to get around.
This reminds me of Gearbox; People blamed the -blam!- out of Gearbox for the 'crappy' netcode, and it turned out the order was given by microsoft for what they had to do.
