Creating a game and creating maps are two very different things. I doubt very much whether the H2CE team can make H2PC.

So true...creating a map is simple...creating a good map takes a few months or less...creating a game will destroy braincells, break u up with your girlfreind, get u hooked on coffee, kill your freinds somehow and did i mention that on average games take 3-4 years to make???

Meh...i dunno...realy...the Halo2CE comunity is huge and if they had the ressources and code for Halo 2 they could make it in about a year...personaly i think that they could port Halo 2 to the PC if they would have support and legal useage of Halo 2`s files...wich i very much doubt that Bungie will trust with a bunch of modders from around the world.

I think that even though they dont admit it now, they have to make a Halo2 PC. If they dont, alot of their loyal clientel will revert to places like novalogic and atari. That means they will lose a LOT of business. and of course that is bad for business.

Yo people,

We appreciate the fact that your trying to give Halo 2 to PC Gamers and Bungie and Microsoft aint even bothered saying anything, but even if you did make Halo 2 for PC download, i still wouldnt get it, i would like an authentic PC copy. And the Halo 2 CE team should just spend as much time as they can on a particular Halo 2 mod, i dont care if it even takes them 7 months to get it right, i'd still love it, the Spartan's on the updated version oh the H2 maps look crap, no effence. And when people create games, there are teams working on each bit, if you knew how to make Halo 2 on PC with the computer language, it's possible, but it would take you a while.

Spartan 012.

1. Bungie's team of crack developers and programmers spend years making a game. These are guys with degrees who have serious expertise.

2. The weapons and vehicle models that H2CE made look similar to the ones from H2, similarly with the MC biped. So do the maps [somewhat, Zanzibar is actually not very close as far as textures, and barely cutting it with geometry]. However, they are a LONG way from how good everything looksin Halo 2.

3. They aren't employed. They'd need to be employed and come to work at Bungie's studio.

4. You can tweak any game's graphics to make them the best out there. you can 'super tweak' that. The physics, yes, you can 'super tweak' it. But what does that all require? A lot of skill and experience and knowledge of the game engine, enough to hold a position doing that: the graphics or a physics engine.

There is more to a game than graphics. The H2CE team maybe able to create models and stuff but they can't create an entire graphic engine.

YES i agree, but there would be lots of problems and issues reagrding Halo 2 PC.....and I still feel (no hard felling tho) that Bungie has let down and disapointed all the Pc gamers acroos the world. I still would encourgae ANYONE who would try to undertake that task> Of course it wont be easy but iIT IS POSSIBLE!!!

Quite honestly, the HSE team would be a far better choice to do H2PC than the H2CE team - if only they were still together...

Chewy - you nailed it.

Spartan 012 - Bungie has given us word on H2PC - it's stickied in this forum.

Also, folks, - we're talking about making a port, not making a game - which, depending on a lot of things, can be a lot hairier than making a game. You basically have to take code you've never seen before and make it work on another platform.

The last port.... for HPC.... was.... marginal.

Good idea, man - I know you're anxious, and I am too - but it just isn't going to happen - sorry.

im sorry but i have to agree with am inspire. the whole problem with hpc was the port job gearbox had done and so far theyve done nothing but blame each other. bungie will only do it if they find a better porting company than gearbox. i would have to go with atari. they do the best port jobs(in my opinion) and pandoma to(that company with the gas mask as the logo i think i mispelled the name) and most likely bungies already working on it but they refuse to tell us. just like they did with hpc. be patient people. it will come.
