They put more time into making the enguin more realistic and "fluid" rather than preventing glitches. If you played the game right, instead of looking at all the exploits you can make, i'm sure you'll find that the game itself would seem to have less errors in the enguine. But the real problem is everything was light and stuff. I played quite a few FPS games, and jumping in halo reminds me too much of automatically using the jump boost in metroid prime. Everything in halo 1 was a bit, floaty...
EDIT: will it really require vista though? If that's the case i'm gonna change my plans from buying this game. I already need enough as it is to play h2, but to upgrade my OS? Have fun sellin' it then.
edit2:
Sorry dude already know programming basic java delph. very little c :P
I don't know if you're being serious or not, but i know C++ and i also know that you have to get into low level stuff such as C or C++ or Assembly to know how things work. Even then you're not garenteed (sp?). Assembly's the only way to be sure you know how deep this stuff goes. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, with my C++ knowledge and my extended research i know some really low level stuff. I'd like to point out that even direct x could be written a little better. Heck, most of the standard headers that come with most compilers (especially the winapi) need to be rewritten badly. Heck, alot of the headers make absolutely no sence at all. Many functions in the iostream library need to be fixed, and heaven help us if some one decides to use iostream.h instead of regular iostream... I don't know what all junk is in iostream.h but it (i think) includes the iostream library... And it's more than just calling the namespace so there's JUNK in there. Don't get me started on fstream... You know, these people could have used overloading for some of these things (which would make them much faster) rather than using a bunch of consecutive loops.... I think i'm gonna make a group or something and look for all the code which could easily be written better, then demand a change to the standard C++ library. See how many would actually follow my lead, but i don't have the time for such a group yet...
