[color=lime] wow people using their FREE TIME can create Halo2 levels faster then Bungie can and they actually get paid for it. How sad...LOL[/color]
It IS rather sad isn't it? Kind of brings up my point about how just about anybody with even a fraction of the resources Bungie had could have done a better job.
Yeah, Bungie are so lazy, spending years slaving over Halo 2, with late nights, development frustrations, and strain on their personal lives as developing the game cut into most of their free time.
And who's fault is that that they managed their time so poorly? They have nobody to blame but themselves. The fact that a bunch of guys in their virtual garages working on their spare time without direct access to the source accomplished what they did really does NOT make Bungie look all that good.
The only excuse I would accept from Bungie would be if their original design target was in fact the Xbox 2, and the continual delays of it's release meant trying to shoehorn it into the Xbox.
Even then, tweaking the Halo 1 engine would have been a much smarter decision, as these modders have shown. That would have had the side bonus of Halo 2 actually being a true sequel to Halo 1, and thus preventing Halo2sucks.com from happening.
How dare they take some time off. They should have their palms nailed to their keyboards for this... this crime against their consumers.
You are goddamn right they should be. Or I should be able to trade in my Halo 2 disk for the "real" Halo 2 I suspect will be coming out for Xenon.
