Can someone please explain to me what the point of this entire Q & A was for?

Q: /Specific question about something that can in no way be answered at this point in the developement cycle of the game/
A: We have not yet announced _________ details at this time.



A desperate attempt to try to avoid some small % of the massive amount of questions like these that will no doubt be hurled with great force towards Frankie et. al. maybe?


lol <-- In real life.

Achronos, I totally agree with you on the notion that most people only play on one platform, and thanks for answering...it was mostly rhetoric. tee hee.

Not to anger you guys or anything but your Q&A was pretty pointless..."We have not yet announced ...."

But the map editor sounds cool, hope to see it in the future Halo game.

  • 02.09.2006 11:29 AM PDT

Hi everobody, like Spartan 012 said, i waited so long for this to happen, and i hope you will do the best you can for this ''remake'' :)

I hope we will play this game in 1980x1080 :D

PS: make sure the netcode is not -blam!- like Halo pc please, because it was the only bad point of the game.

Q: Is the release of Halo 2 for Windows Vista just a way to force consumers to purchase the new operating system?
A: Absolutely not. Bungie Studios and Microsoft's steadfast commitment to quality determined that the Windows Vista platform would provide the best possible version of Halo 2 for the Windows PC. We will provide you with more details in the future.


You guys DO realise, it will be very difficult for people to believe you on this...


The second I read the headline, I thought of that. And as soon as I got to the Q and A my BS flag went full mast.

From what I have read about Vista so far, it is another step further from users controlling what they do and more of Windows telling users what they can do. For me ill stick with Windows 2000 Professional.

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

Well I play games for most platforms/systems/consoles whatever you want call them. Some are just better for different reasons. But I think that Halo 2 on Vista coped with a PC with copious amounts of RAM, and a good Graphics Card and other parts will change my perspective once again about life and its relation to Bungie :)

Wait a tick, did anyone else notice the Xbox 360's ring of light on the front of the Sentinel...look at the picture.

You don't have to wait at all. Just read what Frankie already posted:

But back to Halo 2. We're working with another team at MS to make this not only happen, but happen in a super-sweet radical fashion. To that end, we're going to be helping with a lot of aspects, but don't worry, we are not doing the actual coding work – we're too busy with ONP (Our Next Project).

Q: Is Bungie's lack of involvement in the port of Halo 2 for Windows Vista due to their work on Halo 3?
A: Although Bungie Studios' primary focus lies elsewhere, it is important to note that they are involved in the creation of Halo 2 for Windows Vista. They are working closely with an internal Microsoft Game Studios team.

They aren't talking about their next project ike usual, they really say: HALO3
But probably it's nothing.

"People will not buy Vista juste for Halo 2 pc you know... ¬_"

I know that but that just meens if you dont have Vista than you cant play it. meening less sells of the game. not that thay need it. and OS's cost alot.

and alot of people will wate to get it so MS can fix any bugs.

and bye that time bigger better next gen games will becoming out

((not saying it will be halo3 but game's on the same level as halo3))

I'm too old to have a signature.

cool but waste of time... ok the thread in conclusion says
Halo 2 for Windows Vista.
Map Customization Abilities.
And everything else is "We can't comment."

Hm... it could have just been the first paragraphs.

All i want, is for the edititing kit to be a little eaiser to understand than the HEK for Halo CE on PC, and that you don't need to cough up an extra £1500 for 3ds Max or similar...

Then it would be the BEST!
