Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Well, if we had the source code, we could make all the changes we want. At least sawnose is helping, and he's a Bungie guy.

I know there's more going on in the world, but for those of us who live and breathe computers, it makes sense to focus on computer issues.

Pi Studios still has Pride in H2V, even though it failed hard on the H2EK.
Bungie promised the H2EK would be better than H1EK

I still play it. Multiplayer isn't nearly as good as it was on the Xbox, but it's still fun as long as you're playing with the right people.

You could try screwing it, but (hopefully for your sake) it wouldn't fit in the hole.

It's always nice to see that our Mods have senses of humor and are not afraid to express. :3

Hah, I was just told in a thread in another forum that I have no sense of humour and that I don't laugh at anything :P

Anyway, back on topic... Um... Yeah, fight the power!

Says a lot about a company when the players of their game take better care of it than the company themselves.
No, I think it says a lot about the community. There is a point where the developer will need to cut off for whatever reason.
Just be satisfied that you are a part of a community that cares about a game and keeps it alive.
The only criticism of Bungie that I have is that they don't recognise this, at least it doesn't appear that they do.

Skibur deserves a promotion.

Bungie needs more volunteers like sawnose to pay attention the the PC community.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Bungie had a great opportunity with H2v and they failed miserably. It's time to concede that Bungie will never make valuable PC games again. They don't need to pay attention to the PC community if all they are going to do is serve fail sauce.

they are. Valve and Rockstar know better than Bungie and/or Microsoft,
when they Open source their games.

You might want to Scratch IW off that list since MW2 at least for PC gamers

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

No kidding. "For only 10$ more than a typical PC game, we'll remove the dedicated server support for you and replace it with lots and lots of lag!"

I'd boycott IW if that game wasn't such a blast to play on the 360.

Bungie owned the Halo Franchise while Halo 2 Vista was being made.
It was their decisions that made this game fail.

It could be like this.

HiredGun: Hey Bungie, we gonna finish that Mongoose you had for Halo 2.
Bungie: erm, no, we want that exclusively for Halo 3.

HiredGun: Hey Bungie, look what fun our customers can have, with all this stuff.

Bungie: I'm sorry, but as we own the Halo Franchise, we will not be selling our stock tags,
so go a few months back into development, and remove those features.

Pi Studios: :'( Bungie = Killjoys
(what a waste of time making H2EK.)

Microsoft: Release only for Windows Vista.

HiredGun: :'(
Pi Studios: :'(

Bungie: MUAWAHAHAHAH! Microsoft sucks.

Game Reviewers: This game is a waste, especially,
when Halo 2 Xbox has mods, this game has nothing.

No, you're wrong. Microsoft Owned both Bungie and the Halo IP, Bungie had very little the fault was on Hired Gun

  • 12.10.2009 8:30 AM PDT

Grenades are like RAM, you can never have too much

hired gun may have ported the game but bungie hired them and slapped there name on it nonetheless bungie can fix this they choose not to... its not like they dont know halos source code -_- they collect royaltys on people who buy this -blam!- game they have not once ever given any support to h2v community they dont let us have map packs they dont fix the issues with live where you have to have the game running for 2 hours before you can join a server...they dont fix the hacks that are everywhere.... they have NO bungie moderators like they do in halo2 xbox(next part is more windows lives fault but still) i mean players like box225 have been hacking for years... has videos of hacking has a website where he distributes hacks, there are only about 20 players on at a time compared to the hundreds on xbox (wonder why :P) they didnt give us a working map editor(thats completely bungies fault) and just recently a new update was added giving these horrible rain effects that lag like a dog. and other effects causing everyone to have horrible ping and making it unplayable [/rant]



tl;dr -blam!- YOU BUNGIE AND HIRED GUN

Don't blame the people who ported it, blame Microsoft and their -blam!- business tactics.

I think it would definitely be cool to see a "box set" of all of the Halo games for PC.

Sadly the cut off for HPC was about was a few weeks after release. There are developers out there who are still supporting their games over 10 years later.

Yeah, Half-Life and StarCraft are over 10 years old. I know HL is still getting updates, and I hear StarCraft is too.

If a game's great, and the devs actually give a damn, they'll keep it alive. Halo PC was great then, could be great now, but won't be because the devs don't give a damn. 'Cept one, but there's only so much one person can do in his free time. :(

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

It sounds like I should be glad that I gave up on H2V multiplayer a while back...

Other than the idiot doing the crashing, what else is going on?

nothing much, all of a sudden I see more servers on that damned game.
seems people like to waste money on H2V, hosting servers.

Just a lot of complaining about using 360 contollers. That and an overall lack of players.

I haven't played in a while but I'd still like to finish the last 3 achievements.
