Look Lime, we can't. All posts that DuvalMagic have made on the subject were deleted a few weeks afterwards because it was building too much animosity towards Bungie/MS.

I believe that B:H made a story on MS/Bungie delaying it though, look back through your archives.

We haven't. We only post stories that have been proven credible by another site or Bungie. (Ie. No rumors, such as in this case).

Lets get this striaght:
There is no official statement that Bungie, note I say Bungie is holding back the HEK. All you are basing this on are statement by Gearbox. Keep in mind that Gearbox is also the same company that blamed Microsoft for Halo PC's poor performance, despite that they were the ones who actually scripted it. As much as you want to yell at Bungie based on rumors, there is no evidence to support any of the accusations.

Finally, something we can agree on.

Official statements from Gearbox, Microsoft, or Bungie are impossible? Wait, I am sorry. One word: Logic.

Lol. Official statements are only "official" in that they cover a said company's ass in case of lawsuit. IOW's nothing will be said or released about this because their all bound by non-disclosure agreements.

ACTUALY, they didn't script the game, they had to use DX9 shaders, and couldn't program their own. Which is what the "Fast Shaders" are all about, Gearbox' own shaders.

Here we go, off Battlegound: Halo

Why There Are No Halo: PC Patches Comments
14:22| posted by Ecko

So, you want to know where all the Halo: PC patches are, and why they havn't come out? Here it is striaght from the horse's mouth:

Here's an update: We've done a lot of work which I'm really excited about and can't wait until it gets in the public's hands. I dedicated the full resources of the Halo development team to the project from launch day on. The stuff they generated between launch day and now is amazing in quality and volume. Thus far, just a fraction of that work has made it into the official updates. I hope you can imagine how eager I am to have more of that effort in the hands of our fans and customers - doing stuff to improve the game that we all play is the sole reason why the post-launch development commitment was made at Gearbox. You've probably spent $50 and some number hours playing the game and looking forward to new features and content. I've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars post-launch developing updates that have yet to be released and have spent countless hours working with the team and our partners up in Redmond to do the right thing by our customers, our brand and this title which we enjoy playing so much. So, again, I'm really eager to get our work out to everyone. Unfortunately, beyond the information that a significant development commitment has been made by Gearbox and that lots of cool things have been created from that effort, it's impossible for me to make specific commitments about when you can actually expect the official updates to be released and exactly what each one will contain. Approval, testing and release of updates to the Halo PC software is entirely under the control of Bungie / MGS. I think it could be helpful to direct some of your anticipation of new features, fast shaders, HEK, new content, bug fixes and improvements that you are looking forward to in future updates to the folks at Bungie / MGS. At least, I hope that would be helpful.

This was posted by Randy Pitchford at the GearboxForum. Thanks to Big-Ern for pointing this out.

Oh my god, you're right. I am an A-Five-Five Hat. Wait? What?

Interesting how if nothing has been disclosed that you can have any conviction that Bungie is the reason there is no HEK.

We all have. And the word some of us have is that the HEK has been in M$' hands for quite some time. Gearbox is not blameless, but neither are M$ or Bungie.

Thank you, finally some proof. Of course, Gearbox also pawned responsibilty for Halo PC's outrageous system requirements on Microsoft, who of course got pissed off over it. It helps, but I don't trust Gearbox.

Since when do large companies have more credibility than small companies? Especialy when the "large company" is MS. ?: /

You are not a mistake; God has never said "oops." Seek Him and you will find Him. Do not seek Him, and you will not find Him. He respectfully leaves the choice up to you.

BGH DrLime, grow up and quit harassing the other forum members. There's proof out there, go and find it. If you can't find it, then I guess it'd be amusing to put a paper bag over your head and see how long it takes you to find a way out it. Just look.

Lol, assumptions. I never blamed Bungie specifically for the non-release of the HEK. But the fact of the matter is that they are involved in this mess and this is yet another forum to try to get the damn thing released. Maybe you shouldn't be so trigger-happy.

Actually, I have looked. Microsoft made a statement a while back about the HEK, and how Gearbox was still messing around with it. I'll look for it. Perhaps you should grow up, after all, it took 4 pages for someone to provide evidence I asked for on the 2nd page. And, we all know, calling someone an asshat is perfectly mature.

From the Second Page:
"And yes, M$ and Bungie are holding the HEK. So we are here asking for it's release."

Lol, are you denying that M$ is in possession of the HEK or are you grasping at straws?

I have no doubt that MS has some build of the HEK, finished or not. The quote I presented is something you said, which contradicts the post of yours I was repling to.

Contradicts? The only way it could possibly contradict is if M$ was not in possesstion of the HEK. Which they obviously are.

You know how many times Gearbox has said that? Whatever, point is leave Bungie alone. If you want to piss off Microsoft, fine. But keep in mind how immature you look pestering the forum of a company that is not responsible for the delay. If I am not mistaken, all Bungie has to do is approve the HEK to make sure their copyrights are still protected.

Care to explain how this:

Translates into that?
