Well first off gearbox may not have intetionally messed the netcode of games up but however if you played halo pc then u can tell it blows balls, and BIA is not that great either. The only reason custom edition was released was due to the competitve gaming community and the cyber athelete professional league. Gearbox always claimed its hand was tied because microsoft did not want them to "fix" it. Gearbox stated that Microsoft wanted 56.k users to be able to play halo pc and that the netcode was not geared for broadband users. In summation we shall find out sooner or later who made the crappy game. If halo2 pc comes out then gearbox and Randy pitchford should go suck a wang

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away....

Halo wars

A new hope
( well actually wrong title...reads more like" people pissed off at moment" but can't say that here...)


The evil emperor bill gates and the persons responsible at bungie for this crap have hoped in on a space cruiser run by windows vista and make a vector spacejump to flee from the enraged fans on planet earth but because of the buggy vista AI aboard the ship they land smack in the middle of a covenant group of frigate....

"-blam!-!!! another bug !!!!" says the evil emperor...

Their ship's doom is impending !!! Who will save them?! master chief??? The small green guy using the force all the time?


Meanwhile on planet earth a guy name luke is running is ol clunker game droid on XP and plays.... well UT2007...ghost recon....BF2...Far Cry again.....Halo 2 oups ...luke can't play that one...too sexy for his game droid ....will only play on new OS....ah well not a big lost he thinks ....


Ah he thinks if there was somebody that made sense and used the "force" of their brains he might have been able to play halo 2 ...now he watches demos and vids on the M$ channel and has to hear the evil emperor Bill Gates all the time...

And to say that this guy was just a nerd once luke thinks...strip away his money and is nothing more than another pawn of society ....

i want to learn the ways of the game Force and become a master halo player like my father used to but alas i don't have enuff "republic credit" to buy this new game droid and working at the local burger joints just make me go by...just barely.

Luke goes out still thinking about the world and the injustices all around him and as he looks at the twin suns of Dentyne going down he thinks to himself...

" When will they learn?...."


end for now.

Um, this sounds like a waste of resources, and a conspiracy by Microsoft to force people into buying Windows Vista. And I'm highly disapointed that a Mac version is only a little maybe. Bungie started as a Mac platform gaming company, and boy were people Mad when you guys sold out to Microsoft. They knew it would lead to things like this in which you leave the Mac fans in the dust because Microsoft is your sugar momma. You guys need to reconsider leaving your Mac fans behind on projects. And don't give me the Macs aren't for gaming poop excuse.

This will be a good game for PC for about 2-3 weeks. Then the Hacks and cheaters will show up in true pc game environment fashion.

I went from PC to Xbox and Halo2 (the day halo2 came out) to get away from cheaters and Hackers on pc FPS's. Xbox live and Bungie do a extremely excellent job of getting rid of these naughty people. I wonder how Bungie will monitor these PC vista gamers? Pc Gamers all know that Punk buster doesn’t work for very long. PB updates gets rid of cheaters for about a week, Tops. Will the best or most popular maps that pc gamers create become available to xbox? I assume Halo3 will become available to pc as well? Does that mean that Keyboard and mouse support will be built in so a KB&M could be used on Halo3 and 360 for FPS game play? IMO It would be wise to hook the pc gamers on Halo2 on vista then include KB&mouse support on Halo 3 and 360 to lure them off of the pc and on to the 360. Yes I know 360 devs SUGGESTED that 360 games not include KB&M support BUT, they didn’t say don’t do it either. It would not be a waste of time to include KB&M support to sell more game copies and 360's. Pc gamers ((or x-pc gamer) like my self) would flock to the 99% cheat free environment that Xbox live offers.

I wish Bungie continued success on both fronts xbox and pc. GL Bungie and keep the quality games coming!

OMG stop blaming it on Gearbox! They did the best they freakin' could to support older graphics cards AND slower connections. I'm sure that if they had to make Halo 2 they would do a good job.

OMG LOL GEARBOX!!!! THEY ARE SO BAD!

STFU!

Dont get too wrapped up in the Internet. It's already forgotten about you.

Read about the lack of innovation regarding Vista

Once again, MS brings another crap OS to the table that has been in development for over 5 years.

I love you Bungie, and thanks for the great games.

But anything other than Windows 2000 is just a laugh.

One HUGE difference between Xbox and PC versions is the absence of Xbox Live. Now, much as a subset of you likes to -blam!- and moan about Live matchmaking, most of you agree it's a very nice way to find games in a hurry. But don't worry, we'll have a cool system for that, no doubt

Why dindt they make a list of servers on the xbox 360 for the new games, like the pc games?
With pings/players what map/gametype.

Awesome, wasn't expecting to see it come on Vista, quite suprised I must say. Good Job Bungie!! I love the way you guys come out of the blue and make my day with great news like this. Thanx!

Leezle by the way, I love how you complain like my 5 year old brother.

Vista is an operating system don't you get that!! People need to do research before -Blaming- like an uncontrolable mentally ill schizophreniac teen.

Yes my friend but it still costs money!
$300 + Hardware upgrades to run vista well+ $50-60 on the game is WAAAAY to much JUST for halo 2. Us people who didn't intend to upgrade for a while, particularly we who just bought a PC, will be left in the dark for a while till we fork over money!

Not necessarily, do you know the system requirements for it?
And you say you just bought your PC so it should be able to handle it no problem.
For example look at what it takes to run XP
-P2 300 mhz, 128 mb of ram, super vga video card.

Vista won't need much to run.

Ok cool. But uh... I think I read that the minimum requirements was 512 MB of ram and a good graphics card with atleast 64 MB of memory...

It will probably be a hard drive hog too. I will niot deny it will be great though.

Hmmm...I guess i will HAVE to upgrade one day but it'll take quite a while. :/...

Plus tyhe cost when it first comes out...I think its best for anybody wanting to buy a PC NOW shoukld wait until Vista becomes a standard PC.

Oh?

Play FEAR. Basically no cheaters at all. Why? Because of the neat controll syste m that they programmed in. I haven't found one botter yet.

UT2k4 has this neat little plugin called AntiTTC, works like a charm.

But of course, there will always be people so good that you think they use bots, and people will still claim that there is cheaters there.

Oh and Po1ntman, your marketing expertise is brilliant. Your goal is not to minimze cost for the customer, your goal is to maximize profit for the company. Didn't you learn this in school? If they do it like this they can reap great profits, and piss off a ton of people in the process.

But I suppose idiots will be idiots, cheaters are ALL OVER PC GAMES LOLLOLOL.
