Doom has a co-op mode that the pc version doesnt. It will be a sad day for hardcore pc gamers.

yeah some people just don't realize that the PC has these nice things called mods... what next is someone gonna complain about the pc version only having 4 player DM? which by the way the 4 player "limit" was busted before the game was officially released

This is a RETICULE, and that is a RETICLE. I'm using the latter to aim. And what are you using?

Halo 2 for PC *could* be awesome, depending on who does the porting. Gearbox Software definitly screwed up when porting Halo 1, not to mention their practically not-existant support.

And to all those xbox-fanboys: the xbox is nothing but a PC with standardized hardware and OS. It uses a modified version of Windows 2000 core OS with DirectX 8.0a, and a customized 3D GUI (when no game is running, to play music, access HDD, etc.), performing on a 733 MHz Intel Pention III CPU system with 64 MB DDR SDRAM. The GPU is called NV2X; a customized Nvidia G-Force3 that's clocked up to 250 MHz, now featuring a pixel shader and a second vertex shader. It's better than a standard G-Force3, but still no match for a G-Force4. Although the NV2X technically is capable of a 1920 x 1080 resolultion, no games do so by now, and you would need a HDTV anyway. Currently games use either 640 x 400 or 800 x 600 resolution.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

They screwed up the port of Halo 1? Plays just fine to me.....and you contact Bungie for support on Halo 1, not gearbox. Contact Gearbox for help with their Halo PC Custom Edition software, thats the only thing they are in controll of, they are not in controll of standard version of Halo 1.

and ouch, thats whats in an X-Box? My 4 year old comp from Dell is better than that!

Heyyo,

I bet that poor $box sucker's still got Windows 95 on his computer, lmao. ;)

As for Far Cry on $box? well, last I heard, they had to crank down the graphics, and drastically lower the draw distance so the $box could handle the game, lol.

Here, letme try and put it in 'lamen' terms so you can understand what I wrote my $box person:

Lol, omfg, stfu, PC >>>>> $box >>>>>>>> j00.... lmao, pwned, gg re.

Compared to PC, everything about the xbox is less than PC...

XBox<PC

Anyone who disagrees needs to delete their mind and reformat.

Oh and mark, graphics arnt everything it will still look amazing on the xbox.

I own Halo for my mac, it runs fine but slows down on occasion and I get "flurries" on screen and jagged edges a lot in the outdoor levels mostly. It plays fine just the graphics aren't special on my computer, and I'm not that willing to spend money to upgrade my mac (especially since I have no idea what I'd buy for it).

I dunno, I'm sorta middle ground on this whole thing.

Its actually a combination of problems between the publisher (Microsoft) and the game developer (Gearbox). If you look at Nightfire there Gangster No1, you'll Nightfire has the same problem with no tech support or any patches and that was because EA (Electronic Arts) rushed Gearbox to get Nightfire out at the same time of the Xbox, Ps2 and GC version. Also Microsoft was probably trying to beat Half Life 2 to the store because during that time, HL2 was supposed to be out about 2 weeks so Microsoft blundered there by trying to get the game out. As for Halo 2, Microsoft just made this program that converts xbox game into directx9 or something there, that was posted at Haloplanet.com about a year ago.

Heyyo,

Lol, JSRF, of course you diddn't spend a lot of money on ya comp, it's a dell. LMAO, omg, that proves your lack of knowledge when it comes to computers. Dells usually ship with only a Nvidia GF4 MX440 wich's one of the worst videocards of ALL TIME. Dude, you got pwned so hard. hehehe! :)

Amazing eh? well, if you consider lots of pixelating due to low screen resolution amazing, then my n64 has really amazing graphics too. ;)

Who cares aboot $box? if ya buy one now, you're more of a dolt than ever before. $box2's coming out soon, and odds of you being able to play $box2 games onna regular $box are none. So those fools who buy $box just for Halo2? well, soon you'll see that system for sale on e-bay for $50, lmao. Oh, is that your plan too there buddy? cause btw, e-bay, in anticipation for this, raised their prices recently for people who wanna acution off stuff... so boo-frickety-hoo.. lol...

All good PC games go to $box, probably, but doesn't mean they'll be quite the same, infact, if anything, it's worse. I wouldn't dare to bother trying great games like Battlefield 1942 on $box... oh wait a second BATTLEFIELD SERIES IS PC ONLY, aww... all good games go to $box? nope. Battlefield 2 will be up to 100+ players at 1 time, and 3 factions... Ya know why that ain't going to $box? I wouldn't be able to handle the intesity that is... the Battlefield Series. *whistles the Battlefield 1942 theme* ;)

Face it dude, FPS were meant for PC's, a console can't handle the accuracy and speed of a mouse, so they need their auto-aim, so go, run to your autoaim.

[EDIT]
Oh, I forgot to add, don't double post... try and find a publication called "Forums for Dummies" lol.

Anywho, I'm not quite sure of the quality of Gearbox's work guys. I diddn't know Gearbox made the latest 007 game, and that sucked, infact now it sells for aboot $7.00 CDN.. I played it before, n' ugh, the mp levels smell of made for $box... all of them are small, and pretty un-detailed.... I'm starting to believe all gearbox was good for was HL1 mods..... anyone tried that band of brothers? that's made by them....

My xbox is more powerful than my PC. Halo graphics suck on my PC,but i like the online MP.Plus PC has no good games because Half Life 2, Doom 3 AND Far Cry is coming to the xbox. Doom has a co-op mode that the pc version doesnt. It will be a sad day for hardcore pc gamers. Not to mention the PS2 juggernaut GTA:San Andreas.


*Shakes head and sighs.*

Well look, I hate to break it to you, but it will not be a sad day to pc gamers when those games come out on Xbox. First of all, great wonderful grand, as far as I'm concerned let every game come out on every consol and the PC and people can base their gaming system solely upon merits of quality rather than what games they have available.

If your Halo graphics suck on your PC it is probably because you have an older video card. Graphics on my desktop suck, but are better than Xbox on my new laptop. That said, don't expect the same quality graphics from Doom 3, HL2, and FC on you Xbox as the average PC gamer gets on his PC.

I'm not trying to dis you or any other Xbox gamer. More power to you. Sure a good graphics card cost as much or more than an Xbox, but you will probably get better quality graphics, and in many people's case they need a PC anyway for work or school, so why not make full use of it.

I can understand for many people it is not logistically reasonable to put money into a PC for gaming purposes because that is the only thing they would do with it and it is just cheaper to buy an Xbox. But please do not attempt to come on this forum and tell the PC gamers that you are getting better graphics on your Xbox than we could ever dream of having on our PCs. We know it to be false. You can't upgrade your Xbox, we can upgrade our PCs. We know for a fact that our PCs are running games with better graphics than the Xbox is capable of. (The same may not be true of all PCs since PC set up is variable unlike Xbox.)

As far as I'm concerned I don't see sad days ahead for hardcore PC gamers. I see sunny skies...

I can name a good game that is on Xbox...Halo...now what was your point of asking someone to name a good game on xbox? Oh did you mean a good PC game not coming to xbox. Half-Life 2. Shut your own mouth you idiot.

your whole problem revolves around the world "mac", cause yours is apparently an older one, and mac's wern't always designed for upgrading. So methinks you need to either retire the mac and get a PC, or get a newer mac.


And to that other dude who says us PC dudes are stupid for paying so much for a comp, look at it this way: you payed $150 for a very limited piece of hardware that only plays games and DVD's, oooooooooo! We on the other hand pay $2500 for a machine that lets us play games, mod games, surf the net, do our homework, log on to Bungie.net, love to see you log onto Bungie.net with your X-Box, and play multiplayer games against anyone in the world, XBL only just allowed that, and you gota pay more for that than the internet, and its way more limited. X-Box 2 will rock, latest gen Microsoft tech, with latest gen NVidia tech, oh yea, now that would be worth buying.......after a new computer......

The person trolling the PC forum is the retard, and guess what, you fit that description. And from the looks of it, you don't have an Xbox because if you did, you wouldn't be trolling the place but playing games by now. In any case, go back to sucking on mama's breast there, you're clearly still a baby.

I dont see anything wrong with halo for pc or x-box. i want to know, how DID gearbox screw up halo? i think gearbox did a fine transition between the box and pc, i saw nothing wrong, other than you cant control a keyboard and mouse at the same time. you may say of there are evil giggies and jaggies. well poo on you, the usual tv has a natural antialasing that removes the jaggies. the pc on the otherhand does not have a natural antialasing, unless you use the gfx card for it. i hope halo 2 comes to pc, and gearbox does it.

The shaders for Halo are horrible. While Halo slows my computer, Doom 3 and Far Cry don't.

In addition, what do you mean you can't control a mouse and keyboard at the same time. It's this gift from god called two hands. One hand works the keyboard - the other the mouse. The keyboard+mouse is much more accurate than a controller any day.

Look, JSRF_Clutch, you can't come into our forum with uneducated opinions and expect Not to be flamed. The fact is you obviously know nothing about gaming hardware, else you'd know that a PC with 4 times xbox's CPU speed, 8 times the RAM and a much faster and more capable graphics card would therefore be better at running games, in additon to them looking better and being more detailed, with shorter loading times. Yes that kind of performance costs money, we accept that. But unlike you we're not poor, or ignorant, and we can afford decent gaming hardware. Microsoft's little toy is fine if that's all you ask from a gaming machine. If you want to play games which look better and play better then you'll need to get yourself a better machine.

By the way, yes FarCry and Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 are either on or coming to Xbox, months after they were available on PC. But, the resolution and draw distance are being cut down considerably in all cases, resulting in a much poorer image quality. The DirectX 9 effects are being taken from all of the games because the Xbox hardware is too old and underpowered to cope with it, and it only has a DirectX 8.1 graphics card. So after months of waiting you'll get the worse game.

So my advice to you, if you're still dumb enough to think that your Xbox toy is better than real men's machines, go play in the New Mombasa forums with all the other kids. And for the record, most people here (including myself) have PC's more powerful than the Xbox 2, which is due for release next year (2006). So more fool you, and all the 'hardcore' Xbox gamers out there who think they're at the cutting edge of gaming. You're trailing in our wake.

Sometimes his hands could be doing something else too. *hint hint* Anyways, he probably has like billions of spyware or someone is controlling his computer from within.
