And coming from the one who is a stickler for intelligent arguments, the guy is just wanting to have a go at Halo 2 whats is it that makes people want to be prejudiced?

Even the intellectuals are allowed to act like dumb-blam!-s dude. We're all human. As it stands I didn't say one way or another which is better, just his attitude made me mad. If he had said "I like Mac's, Why isn't Halo 2 coming for Mac?" instead of "Mac's are better." Then I wouldn't have had a problem with it. I've used both Mac's and PC's, and neither one is better than the other, I just prefer PC. I just don't like the fact that he thinks Mac's are somehow superior, which in turn makes HIM think he's better for owning one.

Frankly, I don't care if he likes Mac's, all power to him. But when he says something completely baseless like "Mac's are superior comps" without any reasoning behind it, that just irks me.

I've been gone for a while, checking up on the forums once in a while, so it comes to a surprise to me when I see my thread is back from the dead.

I've come back mainly to challenge everyone PC users and MAC users alike, to argue in support of why MAC is better than PC. In my opinion, MAC computers are good for one thing, and for just that one thing. MACs have a flavor which only Steve Jobs can offer, providing an innovative, user-friendly, minimalist quality to their computer's operating systems and programs, while offering the same innovation to the style of the hardware as well.

Besides this, I cannot find any other reason why MAC is better.

CHALLENGE: Please tell me ONE other reason why MAC is better. I am fairly certain I can disprove them, however I would be very pleased if I were proven wrong. It's always nice for PC users to step into the shoes of the (inferior) ones of MAC users.

Sex appeal. You can't get laid unless you spend inflated prices on hardware and buy a system you can't upgrade yourself : D

And back on topic, Bungie may care for the PC fanbase. But seeing how everyone's moved onto Halo 3 Bungie obviously averted their attention to fixing Halo 3 up.(Patch for Halo 3 eh? How but a long awaited one for PC eh?.....EH????) I hope Bungie hasn't forgotten us. Halo 1 is teh roots of the Halo trilogy, let's pay some homage to it. (Patch....Please?)

Bungie won't patch it because Gearbox was in charge of the port. And Gearbox won't patch it cause their programmers prefer sucking. Lots and lots of sucking.

Dude, how hard is it to understand that Halo is OLD as far as games go. There won't ever be a new patch for Halo, so just let the issue rest. And what's wrong with going off topic? It's not like anyone will get the ban for talking about, say, alien strippers in Mass Effect. Some of the best discussions are ones that go wildly off topic.

How retarded can people get.

Gearbox gave us everything. The tools to make our own maps, the fixes from the Xbox version, everything. Bungie gave us the horrible net code. They mandated it. Gearbox's rights to patch the game expired a very long time ago. Want to blame someone? Blame your precious Bungie.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

You do know that both you and DusK are right about it, right? It is both their fault, neither Bungie, nor Gearbox own all the responsibility. But, neither are spotless. Agy, you say in every thread that it's Bungie's fault for our problems, but while this is true, it isn't the whole side, Gearbox is part of that problem also when we are talking about Halo 1 for the PC, even in Halo 2 Vista's case this is the same. Whether this is Halo, Halo 2, or Halo 3 for the PC, this is in the porting team's hands, not Bungie's. They don't owe us anything, not even a port that they themselves aren't doing. As you like to point out often, their a business, not our game whore. They will do what they see as a good business decision, you know that. Then obviously they don't think it's a good enough business decision, or worth the risk to port the game themselves. Now picking the porting team is a different matter, but do we know for certain who picked them? Do we know that they didn't do the best job though? Yes. We do really need to move on from this conversation.

First off, you're in no place to call me retarded. I don't know whether to be more appalled at the insult itself or for the lack of originality on your part.

Secondly, there's more than just the net code that needs to be fixed.

Thirdly, my bad, I didn't know it was now up to Microsoft and Bungie to patch the game.

No, it really was Bungie's doing.

Hell no. HELL NO. Don't you start another Mac versus PC flame war you little rockhead. Although I'm not surprised it comes from you, a little flamer newbie in the Maw. After all, Maw's now just a heckhole for little kiddos to brag their "tank skillz".

Alright, I will admit that I started to stray from the topic of this thread, and I apologize for doing so. However, I AM NOT a "little flamer newbie" from the Maw. I have never posted in the Maw, because it is generally a place where Xbox Gamers go to die. I am a PC Gamer, and I wanna represent ma hood here in dis crib hommes. Anyway, I was just trying to make a point that PC is better than Mac in almost every possible way.

Now tying back in with the point of this topic, I feel that while Games for Windows Live is so far a complete let down, and cannot be compared to its console version, the original Xbox Live. However we must remember that the point of GFWL is to (besides steal our money) unite the console gamers and the PC gamers together into one giant orgy of gaming. With this being the case, I feel that the next generation of games, should maintain this focus. While Shadowrun was a complete disappointment, it held this concept, which is sure to be expanded on. If Bungie is to work side-by-side with Microsoft, it means that they will focus on making Xbox games, but being the case that Microsoft wishes to expand its gaming market, there is no doubt in my mind that we should see an integration between both platforms by Bungie and other developers alike. So far Bungie remains quiet, and they have alreay announced what they are doing for the next few months, that is make Heroic maps for Halo 3. This means, we shouldn't expect any new information until after the release of the second or third of these map packs.
