So earlier today I was totaling my car over and over in the new demo for GRID, when someone here from the bungie forums spotted me out while I was making some turns in my M series BMW. What are the odds that I would run into a fellow spartan, on a racetrack?
Well it dawned on me, this is exactly the reason why people love PC gaming, and why Games for Windows is a horrible attempt at cashing in on this community. In it's attempt to make Microsoft money, it is strangling good online games. If Halo 3 is ever made for the PC/Vista/Windows7, GamesForWindows has to be either drastically changed, removing the "paytoplay" aspect, or at least make a half-decent port so that we can build an awesome community here, with great "OMG I saw yuo on the forum moments."
BTW, if your computer can run it, you MUST get the demo for GRID. The game seems awesome, even on my graphically lacking ATI Radeon x1650. It took me a while to read the that the chat button was the "home" key, because I'm running the game on 800x600. I am pleasantly surprised that I found a spartan online, and if you can read this, "Sry I had to disconnect so soon. My mom just came home with pizza, and didn't want me on the computer for too long. Maybe we can organize some spartans together and have a crazy race on the GRID demo." Hope to see you again. :)
I think this shows that the community here is very tight, and that if we are given good games, and not taken advantage of, everyone will be happy in the end.
