Subject: Screw H2V.

How could a huge business like MS be using crappy hardware? are they just updating computers for the 90's or something? Maybe we should just give up on H2V and MS all together and go to MAC. It can run Halo and you can partition it to run windows. no worries about being whether or not we could certain tools on it!

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

That would be a great way to show MS how happy we are with their rip-offs. I have been using Slackware GNU/Linux on and off for a while now, but it's hard to see my stack of PC games gathering dust. Wine can only run some of them, and usually not well.

As far as I know the only hardware that MS makes thats really relevant to gaming are the Xbox systems. Im not sure how that relates to halo on the PC. Am I missing something here?

Whats your point? Windows is software and Xbox doesnt play PC games. Which remains my original question. What hardware does MS make thats relevant to running PC games?

Well, there was the line of MS controllers, culminating in "Xbox 360 Controller for Windows". More and more games support the 360 controller exclusively, and some won't even allow using a 3rd party controller. I found this out when trying to play Serious Sam HD with my old reliable Logitech Dual Action gamepad. The devs made some excuse about xinput API, but I think it's more like software firms are being bribed to support 360 controllers only.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Because most of their PCs are probably for business work. And that doesnt need a high end PC.
Also, 360 controllers are crap, my RB button isnt working.

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.

Your RB button messed up, so every 360 controller must be crap. Makes sense.

Hmm the only problem I ever had was a button sticking. But, I just used some rubbing alcohol on it and problem solved!

RB messed up with me too.
xbox 360 is crappy graphics and -blam!- RROD.
PC has more advantages than that piece of crap.

Seems like button sticking for me too. I might need to clean it.

I can't believe how imbalanced H2 is. On Coagulation, there's 1 rocket launcher, and whichever team gets it keeps it for as long as they want. My entire team was firing on a Banshee for over 5 minutes before we finally took it down. So stupid. Halo 3 is like this too, isn't it? People can just joyride around, and the focus is no longer on capturing flags but dealing with griefer Banshee pilots or tank drivers. Way to go!

Yeah, i hated that too. Halo 3s the same way as well. Someone gets a tank or shee or elephant or whatever, then they start running people over while people shoot at it. Basically whoever has shees and rox wins.
Hopefully halo reach will be much better.

Hope so. I probably won't get to see it though, since I got rid of my 360.

I was thinking about picking up Halo 2 for PC, as I don't have my xbox copy any more. Thanks for making me realize that would be a waste of time.

Not true actually.Rockets and power weapon spawns at 2:30.So if you wait for just 2 minutes you can get the ammo again.
