Hey, I'm TetriS/r4v3n/Ryx. I've been modding Halo 1 pc since late 2008-2009, and playing Halo 2 Vista since summer of 2010. If you need any help with Halo 1 modding, just ask; I haven't modded in a while but I remember most of it.

I'm always up for a h2v game; message i4Ni TetriS and I'll get back to you.

And THAT is why ignorant people stay on the consoles. H2V isn't a triple-A PC title. It was programmed by a bunch of college dropouts and support was cut when MS realized that PC gamers don't play utter garbage. BC2, CS:S, TF2... those are triple-A titles; Games where finding something like the Legendary Achievement glitch from H2V would get patched very quickly and everyone who used such exploits in multiplayer would receive a quick and ruthless ban.

OH NOEZ AN EXTRA 600 gp... who cares. it's also pretty much undetectable because of the format halo's files are in (not openengine, but the .map files).
There's no way to tell and ban them; you can complete legendary in a day, I've done it.

And halo 2 vista was ported, not programmed :P

Halo 2 Vista isn't kept alive by modding at all, it's basically kept alive by the noobs now that the clans are all dying. It's a solid game that never got any attention because of some shortcomings (only gold hosting games), but now those are fixed and it is what it is.

There's even a 3rd party online co op, if shock ever gets around to releasing it.

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.

Wow. So porting a game doesn't involve any programming?

Come back when you know what you're talking about.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

...

You don't know anything, tetris. You don't know how games are programmed.

Oh, and h2v is dying fast. I've been tracking it for years. GFWL updates breaking it + Clans dying fast is ensuring it will die faster.

They didn't have to do it from scratch >_>

Xbox 360 runs .net and directx.

Figure it out.


@jacob. gtfo clans break up all the time.

And the original Xbox, which Halo 2 was written for?

Thought so.

The Xbox runs a custom operating system which was once believed to be a modified version of the Windows 2000 kernel. It exposes APIs similar to APIs found in Microsoft Windows, such as DirectX 8.1. The system software may have been based on the Windows NT architecture that powered Windows 2000; it is not a modified version of either.
sorry, I couldn't hear you over the ignorance in this thread.

So, Mr. Porter extraordinaire, do me a favor and port MechAssault. There's no programming involved, so you should pull be able to pull it off, right? get to it.

Seriously, you calling someone ignorant after saying something as stupid as "Halo 2 Vista wasn't programmed" is like G.W. Bush calling someone a retard. Just because it uses common 3D rendering technology and MS APIs doesn't mean it's somehow magically PC-compatible. Even a a beginner programming student knows that.

It might be time for you to get out of the thread and leave the posting to people who know what they're talking about. Run along now, sport. Go play catch with daddy.

Nowhere did I say there was no programming involved. And I am a "beginning programmer", I don't have the source, and am unlikely to ever get mechassault's source.

Hey.

Somehow I doubt that Halo Reach will be remade for the PC...

Ya I totally accidentally linked that random gamertag. I don't know what it is. But my real gamertag is curb st0mpd if you wanna check out my stats.

Don't blame Bungie, blame microsoft. Microsoft owns Halo and they own X-box. 1+1=2. Maybe Bungies next game will be on the PC.

I hope it revolves around some guy in a green space suit fighting zombies and aliens, then we PC gamers can finally finish the "Halo clone" fight how it should have been (keyboard and mouse).

Microsoft is too lazy to make their own ports of old games. Let's wait for gearbox to do it.

Wait...

So...

Halo PC, Halo 2 Vista, Halo Reach W8 (The W8 stands for Windows 8 maybe 7)... So PC players can never finish/own or collect the entire halo trilogy they just get the first two, then it jumps to reach?

I wantz my Halo 3 PC

-Super High-Res Textures (#1)
-Improved Models (A Bit of Extra Detail on the Suits,Nothing too much though,Because i already love the look of the Suits XD) (#2)
-16xAA,16xAF (#3)
-Uncompressed Audio (#4)
-Native 1080p (#5)


1. Super high resolution textures consumes memory

2. Improved models -- more space on HDD and memory consumption

3. 16x AA and AF -- This > Not many people have a decent enough graphics card to support 16x Anti-Aliasing and Antiscoptric Filtering. This also needs a minimum of 3.2+ GHz with a 512 MB internal CPU cache + 512 to 2048 MB on-card RAM.

4. Uncompressed audio takes up an epic F**K-ton of storage space and while having high-quality sound, you take away from the user the amount of page-file, CPU and RAM usage. Even Halo PC with it being a low-level game takes 100% of my 3.06 GHz @ 1022.42 MB internal cache Celeron D CPU ALONG WITH my 1280x1024 (and higher) @ 2048 MB on-card cache graphics card (by ATi).

5. Most modern day screens are designed higher than 1080p and normally have been configured to use every last one of the pixels so I don't think we'll be having to worry about that.


All-in-all, you need a computer as good as Bungie's. IF you read, even their server PC's have a what? 5-6 PB (PetaByte) storage? That's well beyond what the novice computer user even knows about at the very least. Their CPU's are probable octo-core with each core registering at 15-16 GHz and their on-board RAM cards probably are 1024 to 2048 GB. That's 1 to 2 TB (TeraBytes). Halo 3 will not be on the PC's til' we normal computer whiz's get near the point of Bungie. I estimate this to be....... 2-4 years. Maybe 6 or 8. Don't get your expectations high. And also at the very least it probably costs a s4!t-load of money to convert the game from XBOX to PC format. So again. I would abandon this thread before too many people start bothering Bungie with the useless.

  • 06.12.2011 6:44 PM PDT

Don't go off criticizing Bungie until you've created the game yourself. It's hipocrtiacal.

  • 06.12.2011 8:50 PM PDT

Trust me you DON'T want Reach.

Bring Back Rocket Race!!!

Personally, I think Halo 2 Vista was a pretty decent port. I have no complaints. I switched to Windows Vista immedietly when it came out so I had no issues with the Vista-exclusivity of Halo 2 Vista. That seems to be the number one complaint of the port.

As for not having any new features. Well, you all seem to like Halo 1 PC as a port. However, it also does not bring any new features besides the online multiplayer. In fact, it has less features than the Xbox version due to the lack of co-op campaign. Therefore, in terms of features, Halo 2 Vista matched Halo 1 PC. Halo 2 Vista also came with map editing tools similar to the ones in Halo Custom Edition.

I think you guys should realize that one of the primary reasons there's no Halo 3 or Halo: Reach for PC is because everyone hated Halo 2 Vista and because of the bad reception, Microsoft thought it wouldn't be worth it anymore to make another port.

I think we should be grateful that we even have a port of Halo 2 that is even LIVE-enabled with achievement support.
