Subject: ok its official.......

Posted by: grumpy hermit
You misunderstood genius. I am a 25 still because I have not played ranked games since becoming a 25. I was guessing at where I would be had I continued, due to the level of others that I have played and beaten lately (unranked). After a match and before(360) you see other players' level, and this is what I was basing it on. Frankly, I don't care what level I am, since it really does not correctly label an individual's skill.

So what....? Do you think most of us care? Go play another game. There should be plenty of other PC games that can float your boat. And since you got it for $50 at least you got your fair share of it.

I HATE that gearbox no longer makes patches to fix problems with the game
I HATE that Gearbox cant admit that they -blam!- ed up the port
I HATE that whenever i get next to a tree my FPS drops down to 18 becuase of the horrid optimization.
I HATE that also due to the piss poor optimization that i cant see people using the Active Camo power up.
I HATE that i have to download a patch to fix the shaders in the game to show specular on wepons becuase GEARBOX was to damn lazy to do it when they were working on the game.


Quite ignorant aren't we?

Gearbox can make patches for the game. They do and will, should some big issue come up with the game. It has to be approved by Randy first, then bungie, then the financial analysts, and then MGS. You dont see that much because the patches rarely make it past bungie in the approval line.

Gearbox made the port specifically as what Bungie Studios wanted. You seen the contract? I didn't think so. So dont say they -blam!- it up.

It isn't horrid optimization, it's your graphics card, processor, and memory not being able to take up the task. The difference between a computer and a gaming console is that the console has 100% of its resources available for play whereas a PC has to run the OS, the background tasks, maintain your internet connection for everything that's requiring it, run the .dll's for the game, and finally run the game itself. Dont blame Gearbox if your hardware is crap. Are you expecting to run Halo 2 Vista on the same computer? I mean, they both came from the xbox, you'd expect them to be able to be played by a computer from 2001..... Get it in your head that as a PC port, it becomes a different game adhering to a different set of standards.

It's not piss poor optimization you ignorant, it's a hardware issue with nVidia's PC line of graphic cards.

So I assume you're aware of said shader specifications making the AR invisible on video cards that cant handle it right? Just like jackal shields and the Halo scenery? Learn your facts before you -blam!- again.

Although I'm not a big fan of spam myself, despite the fact that it's one of my favorite meat products, I do think we need to keep it out of the Maw. However, seeing how as this is related to HPC, I think it's an appropriate discussion.

Just no flaming each other.

Sure, it's an appropriate discussion had he worded it slightly differently, like saying: "Okay, we all know we're on an H1PC forum, but here are some qualms about it". However, if I didn't know Omnios any better, I'd say that he's trolling. But knowing how long he's been around, I doubt if that's the case.

Anyways, he'res my say on it: I...how do I put this nicely?

Ask not for who the $hit gives.
It gives for no one.


No offense meant, but this is a pretty pointless topic.

i HATE Halo PC.

I HATE playing shotties with no sheilds and having the guy right in front of me and miss because i didnt aim at his feet and lead my shot
I HATE that a rocket can land 20 feet away from me yet insantly kill me
I HATE that there is no anti-cheat system in the game
I HATE that gearbox no longer makes patches to fix problems with the game
I HATE that Gearbox cant admit that they -blam!- ed up the port
I HATE that whenever i get next to a tree my FPS drops down to 18 becuase of the horrid optimization.
I HATE that also due to the piss poor optimization that i cant see people using the Active Camo power up.
I HATE that i cant filter out heavy wepons only games
I HATE that when i get shot with a plama bolt that i cant move or turn but must sit helplessly there until the wepon overheats.
I HATE that i have to download a patch to fix the shaders in the game to show specular on wepons becuase GEARBOX was to damn lazy to do it when they were working on the game.
*takes breath* /end rant.


Calm down and just play something else like minesweeper. See? I make miracles happen! :)

Spam isn't meat. Don't you know what Spam means? Stuff Posing As Meat. Now that we all know you don't like Halo PC, you can
* not play it
* play it and keep your mouth shut
* Beg Microsoft, Gearbox, Bungie and anyone else you can think of to fix it.

The plasma effect is called "stun" and can be modded out.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Half of those can be fixed by looking at the game specs. Another half can be fixed by just enjoying the game and accepting defeat when it comes your way. And gearbox doesn't work only on Halo. I find the game perffectly enoyable and almost never encounter cheating.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

then why havent they? there's plenty to fix so where my god damn patch? unless they want to forget about how badly they screwed up
Because there isn't a large enough user base to warrant a gameplay patch compared to what they could be putting their resources to. Gearbox has BiA to work on, and I doubt they'd take on a contract job now they actually have a hit series where they can do whatever they want with it. If you have a gripe about it, -blam!- at bungie, not gearbox.




i dont think Bungie wanted their prize game turned into an unfinished, half-assed, POS.

It's perfectly fine. You're the one with the problem. Get better hardware.




right Halo runs prefectly on an XBOX with 64MB of RAM, a slightly modded Gforce3, and a 729MHz IBM processor. MY PC has 728 MB's of DDR400 RAM, and GPU 2 generations ahead of what the XBOX has not to mention a more VRAM, and a bigger bit bus, and a fast clock speed and 3 times the filrate, and an AMD XP 2900+ which is way above and beyond what is required form the game but i have yet to get maintain a decent frame rate in it near a tree, its poor optimization and lazy coding get over it

The xbox has 100% of its resources available to run the game. Your computer has to run the Operating system, work with your network connections, run background programs, run drivers, run whatever else you have going, AND run the game which takes what it can.



proof that its an optimization problem when i use 3D analyze it show the camo, so its NOT a hardware problem its a SOFTWARE problem.

It depends on your view of a problem. The rasterizer is set to run active cammo through engine-hardware specific methods. You're talking about emulation, and is not something a contract dev would consider doing. I work with the engine and not on it and I have decent hardware, so I cant toy around and find the specific reason, but from the available information I've gone through, that is the reason.



i never said anythign about the AR being invisible nor did i say i was missing an sceneary.

You apparently dont know what happens when a graphics card is given a command it cant execute in Halo. If a shader tells a graphics card to do something that it cant, then whatever it is supposed to be displaying wont show up, a.k.a be invisible. Multipurpose mapping is one thing that would cause such a thing. If Gearbox did indeed include the AR multi, jackal shield multi, and halo scenery multi, your minimum specs would jump up to your reccommended specs.

now who is the ignorant one?[/quote]
I still believe it is you for not wanting to venture out into the sea of facts.
