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.


unless they feel like making the same maps but back porting from the specs for Vista and DX10, back to the whimpy XBOX and DX8, or does it use 9?


LOL, the xbox can't even handle it if it was avalible.

Don't you think you're all overreacting to this? I mean, there's only 2 individual Mombasa-native responders to that thread, meaning that they're not just about to start some sort of petition or anything to get Bungie to comply.

Halo Custom Edition: p0lar_bear™
Favorite Server: Diesel PL 3rd Server - NY

My Maps:
BioHalo v1.1a Singleplayer Map for CE

BUNGIE HAS CUT CUSTOM SINGLE-PLAYER SUPPORT FROM HALO 2 VISTA. COPY, PASTE, AND BOLDFACE THIS INTO YOUR SIGNATURE IF YOU ARE AGAINST THIS CUT.

Halo PC and CE's faults were not entirely Gearbox's fault, as you can see by the above links.

And Halo may have started out on the Xbox, but that doesn't mean it should be considered best as a console game. The first person shooter genre started on the PC, and it should have stayed there. It's much more comfortable to aim with a keyboard and mouse than it is with an XBox controller. Not to mention the mouse is a bajillion times better at precision aiming than a thumbstick.

They should keep the PC maps as a PC exclusive. Matchmaking is going to be an Xbox exclusive apparrently, so I don't see why the PC version can't have any exclusive content, tbh.

And I will lmao if they throw in the flamethrower again because, just like in the first Halo, it was cut. I would like to see a completed gravity rifle.

A fully functional gravity rifle would be ripping off Half-Life 2, you know...

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.


LMFAO!

You want to compare with how many have xboxes and how many have gaming PCs?

Halopc only failed because of the cockup gearbox did on it (it was gearbox, microsoft didnt tell them to leave out things like AFK kick).

If it was well made, I bet you it would have more players online than the xbox.

And we dont have to pay for halo2 online (according to Frankie), so that will mean more PC players.

Halo is a console game. It will always be better on Xbox. Look at HaloPC.
Sorry if someone posted this. The reason the pc version was crappy is it was developed by gearbox software.

Since when does level geometry and bitmaps rely on Vista and DX10? Oh thats right, NEVAR!!1!11!!!one!!1!. It would be as simple as redoing the shaders (which might not have to be done depending on what bungie does to the engine) and recompiling as an xbox map. Almost all the time spent on a map is in the design and build stage.

1. No. However, I would bet that more people have XBOXes or XBOX 360s than have good gaming PCs.

2. Halo PC may have been screwed up, but I wouldn't call 2000 regular players failed.

3. I highly doubt it. It's hard for a PC game to even top 200,000 players online. CS 1.6 has only about 150,000 max per day. Halo 2 has over 300,000 different players on on an average day.

4. I doubt it. Most non-MMO PC games aren't pay to play. Not paying for the game online won't mean more players. Just having Halo 2 on Vista will mean less players because not all gamers are going to upgrade to Vista immediately.

1. I dont.

2. Its a failure. Compared to many other FPS, it should have more players, and I rarely see 2000 now, havent for ages. Its lacking basic online things, such as AFk kick.

3. We shall see

4. I wasnt comparing MMO games, I was comparing with xbox live.


If the editor coming with halo2 is any good, I think it shall rocket.

O o i got a great idea! Bungie could give them our new maps, but they change the maps so they cant move as much or cant do sutff or make it reallllllly hard tfor them :/ What if Bungie did do that?

Read my above posts, don't be ignorant of the facts

What you said is extreamly unfair, bias, and flat out wrong.

Fanboy or fanboi is a term used to describe an individual who is utterly devoted to a single subject or hobby

(In computing, the word is used somewhat differently - referring to someone slavishly supportive of their preferred operating system or computer programming language).


It's a bad description, but it gives a good idea of what a fanboy is. Basically someone who is a fan of and devoted to only one platform.

I wish I could find the Gamespot article on fanboys, but it is escaping my detection at the moment.

Steam: RageRunner32 | StarCraft II: RageRunner | Lets play Pc sometime :)

<3

This is why I stopped posting regularly in the maw. You people are so stuck up (with some exceptions) about your pc's. Don't be such console fanboys, good games are on a variety of systems. True gamers have multiple consoles.

So when you act like Pc's are the chosen race of gameing it just makes you look like a dumbass.
