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.
Heh all i did was make one statment about pc games coming to xbox and all hell breaks loose. You flamers belong in new mombasa. Thats where all the rest of the idiots go. Your make your self look like an idiot by flaming me. Just dissagree with me in a respecable manner just like the rules say. Flaming does nothing good for anyone. I didnt come on this forum to make enemys. I look at the first post in this thread and everyone is flaming some guy named Dallas. Man this whole forum is full of idiots who just flame each other. Oh and I know some idiot will flame me for this but im not gonna sweat it. Only place thats safe from flaming is probley the flood.

I did disagree with you in a reasonable manner. And YOU flamed US by saying we're "retarded for spending money on computers". You started this, not us, so stfu and go away. You're not welcome here, in case you hadn't noticed. This is a PC forum. If you have anti-PC issues, take them elsewhere. No one is going to agree with you here until you smarten up. I've seen several of your posts here over the last few months and every time you say something arrogant and stupid to annoy people, and then you act all surprised when you get flamed. Those are the only type of people who get flamed here. This forum is usually supportive and helpful to those who come to us needing assistance with their game or their computer.

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

Halo:PC is screwed up. Don't get me wrong, though, 'cause Halo:PC the game I play most on my machine. What I mean by saying "Halo:PC is screwed up" is easy a bit difficult for me to explain (no native english/american):

As I showed you, the xbox is just below-average hardware, with the considerable advantage that the various parts are optimized to work with eachother. Still Halo:CE looks awesome. But if you're owning an average PC from the rack, Halo:PC will either look good and start to lag and stutter, or you have to down down graphics, sound variety, etc., even though an average PC has better hardware than an xbox.

OK i have read through the entier thread twice and i think i have figured this out. JSRF first said:

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.

now i can see how this would be offensive and i am wondering why you are talking about this on a thread where PC gamers are just speculating on whether Halo 2 will come out for the PC. After this comment it just started escallating with JRSF saying PC sucks and flaming cause it costs to much and Ekul said that he was wrong cause most PCs are better than Xbox and flamed at him also

So why dont we just go back to hoping that Halo 2 comes out for PC and the Xbox people just smirk to themselves cause they either dont think or want it to come out for PC for some reason.

how would it still suck on the x box, its better for consumers becasue then those (Most people) that have crappy computers can play the game the way its supposed to be. And also you get it on a much bigger screen. and get x box live

How do you know you get it on a bigger screen? Not everyone has a 50inch. I have a 21", and my crt for my comp is 27".

It's not that it sucks on the xbox, it's just that PC's can handle a lot more graphics and such than the box can.

BTW, XBox Live is $50, my free trial expired last month so I haw to renew :(

And anyway, PC users will have multiplayer. It'll probably be free like Halo:PC's multiplayer was, too.

Thats true alot of people have "barely minimum" computer and that was the Xbox was design for. However, if you have a powerful computer, put Halo 2 and play it in its glory. Also, not alot of people have super big TV even though I have a 65inch TV, but I prefer my 24inch monitor instead.
