Subject: Xboxers want to take our new H2 Vista maps!

They want H2PC maps!


Oh no.. they want our new maps for the 6 year old Xbox and for H3xbox....., bungie wont let that happen ( please dont let that happen bungie!! ) or the xboxers will * sudden silence * have OUR new stuff and that we wont have any new stuff and they could brag like they always do to get new maps then Halo 2 and H3 xbox could be more popular than PC halo games, hope bungie doesent listen and not put the new Halo 2 3 pc maps for xbox.

Bungie won't cross the maps back to H2 from H2PC. There are extra maps for HPC that never were released for X-Box on H1 or H2. Also, remember the flamethrower and Fuel Rod Cannon were special PC only extras. It would probably be a great pain to port a game, make some extra maps, then go back and port the maps on the ported game to x-box. In other words....it's not going to happen.

Halo is a console game. It will always be better on Xbox. Look at HaloPC.

it would be nice if they made everything fully compadible. It would be hard yes, but they don't. I wish that they made Halo xb maps work with halo pc.

that wuld be ok with me, it could be like a 20$ map pack.

But it would just come with H2 PC.

Still, it won't be compatible with the Xbox

Oh wait, nevermind. I misread that.

Yeah, thanks to Gearbox for screwing up the port. Hopefully H2 PC will be superior to H2 on the Xbox.

Gearbox had no choice with what they had to do with halopc, there were mandates by microsoft that effected aot fo the decisions in it, resulting in the high system requirements, map cashe system, and most importantly the netcode.

Read that, you will see lots of the problems in CE/PC were not Gearbox's fault.

It seems fair to me. We get their map pack, why not let them have ours? There will probably be other new things for PC only, and they won't get those.

Halo's netcode had to be a server side netcode, where everything is controlled by the server, in order to have vehicles work. A 56k compadible netcode with a server side game like Halo. Not to mention GBX had to write the code AFTER they created a netcode for broadband, which by the way was lagless. You should REALY read the links I gave you before posting an uneducated remark.

yesi know double post get over it Kim.

One CD
56k support
Fixed function support

i dont see how that -blam!- up HPC, since all FPS games today have one CD, and 56K multiplayer support, with no bullet lag, and again fixed function support, wtf does that have to do ith anything?


Refer to my post above for the netcode mandate. The One CD system effected the way they had to make maps load. Had they been allowed to make HPC on several discs, we would probably have had custom map and editing out of the box. The map structure had to be changed for haloce to allow self contained maps. HaloCE compiles and loads referanced bitmaps from bitmaps.map, while PC just loads ALL bitmaps from bitmaps.map.

That's called a mod.

I think Bungie should leave Halo 2 for xbox alone, and just move on to Halo 3. Just work on 2 games, Halo 2 for PC and Halo 3. Halo 2 for xbox has had a nice long run, no just leave it alone!

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

We(the XBOX crowd) will always have more players than we do(the PC crowd) because it is simpler to get an XBOX and play online.
