im afraid im gonna have to confiscate your testicles.

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

I watch alot of H2 movies and think to myself, wow the sound of everything seems akward and gauky, I mean the grenade the gun shots, I watch alot of H2 movies just to see what will be in H2PC, but im thinking to myself, I hope H2PC will have a much better quality sound than Xbox did! Has anyone noticed it? I think its poor sound quality on H2xbox

Ya ive noticed that on videos. Like sometimes frag grenades sound like lasers from a sci-fi movie. I hope they fix that.

Computer: Power Mac G5 CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (2.2) Number Of CPUs: 2 CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB Memory: 1.25 GB Bus Speed: 900 MHz

ATi Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition
Display Type: LCD Resolution: 1680 x 1050 Depth: 32-bit Color

It also depends on the settings in the game preferences. I noticed that at higher quality sound settings you hear the tinkly sound of breaking glass every time the hog bumps something, (yet the lights continue to work, so whats breaking?), but on lower settings you just hear a solid thud. I like the thud better, so I use the lower quality setting.

The proble is that they are playing on an Xbox. They have to use a capture card to record the action and I think going from the Xbox to the Pc thru the capture degrades the quality. I have yet to see a Halo2 movie that was not grainy and poor quality.

Well, we know for sure that Vista has technology superior to that of an Xbox.

I'm hoping for better sounding explosions and gunshots come H2 PC.

I agree if you're talking about amatuer videos...but otherwise have you heard of Red Vs. Blue or This Spartan Life?

It's probably just the video codec used for the movies. They never have CD-quality sound.
