Sounds like it's going well...


Once DX10 cards come out, can you show us some screenshots of how it looks on DX10, and DX9?

And please get rid of the "auto aim" thing... it makes H2 take less skill :/

BEST MONDAY UPDATE EVER!!

  • 08.21.2006 7:16 PM PDT

-What specs are going to be needed to run this at a playable framerate? (playable = 60+, and no "omg the brain cant see more than 60fps" arguments, faster fps = better playability)
-Client or server side netcode? We all saw how well server side worked in HaloPC.
-Autoaim, will it be there, and if so, why?
-Dedicated servers, are we going to possibly see linux distro server support so people can not have to pay rediculous prices for servers?
-Actual dev support and communication, will we be able to have intelligent discussions with the dev team or will we have to wade through 10 million 12 year olds crying about how theres no auto aim?

Please Bungie, learn from past mistakes on the part of everyone. Look at the successful games that are both play just for fun, and for competition. Stand up to Microsoft and make them pass a finalized game, not a public beta passed off as gold. Yes, I am a competitive gamer, I am also a casual gamer. I want the best of both worlds, and it is very possible. Look at CS 1.6 and Quake 3. Two very good games with great dev support in their early years, still have millions playing them too. Don't let us down.

Will Bungie ever do a game other than Halo?

Bungie has really lost it's independence , it's very disappointing.

Look for the signs, the keepers of the flame.
They will lead you to war, and perhaps, to victory.

Ok, I have a question for Matt Priestley, hopfully he can reply in the next update...

Matt, do you touch yourself at night, and if so, what time, and can I come over?

"Veni, Vidi, Vici" = "I came, I saw, I conquered" Julius Caesar

if it is as impressive as its sounds (which i can safely say i should be and probally will be better) ill need a graphics card and new monitor (need both anyway but this gives me an excuse to want and buy) probally same with other people as well but the way the describe it it seems really demanding at high quality

As much as I like H2V (yeah I've halo2 for the xbox but i'll buy that one too^^) i'm a bit disappointed that it is H2V you'll show in Leipzig and not Halo 3. Especially because I'm german and most members of the german bungie site (bungie.de) will go to Leipzig. They were full of hope that they will see the Arbiter or MC in that wonderful graphics. Nobody expects you guys presenting some story details, but a presentation of the MP and new Weapons (E3 2004) would have been very fine. i hope we'll see Halo 3 next time. Frankie does that all the time^^ we want to see it too.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

w007. keep up the good work bungie. if you do a very good job on H2V i'd be willing to pay for online play(that is if we dont have to).

Also, i'm glad to see it will have controller support, since the 360 controller didn't really work well with Halo PC

What? It works fine for me?

Will Bungie ever do a game other than Halo?


This reminded me of that Penny Arcade comic where the 12th level of game designer hell is being forced to make Halo game after Halo game after Halo game.

I'm torn. I want it so I can mess around with and mod the SP campaign, but there is no way in hell I'm buying a new operating system just for that when the one I have now does everything I need it to do just fine.

LOL H2V is going to own over H3 to me. I mean, better graphics, more skill involved (please dont put auto aim in, that will destroy the game. Nothign like skillfully getting a falling headshot, all from your own aim, and no help from auto) Better sound, plus, no need to pay for online play-yes thats right, you wont pay for online play, just as long as you have internet acce. HOW SWEET IS THAT!!! Mods, map editiors (i know some really sweet ass modders, who make really good mapws for halo CE. With the DirectX10 engine at hand, maps are going to become AWESOME) Btw, screenshots are mandatory with these sorts of updates. You give us the cake, but no icing......not even any sugar. If you posted a screenie, with the news, it would overwhelm people with awesomeness.

There better be a screenie on Friday.....

What it is.

i love to see bungie is still thoughtful about all of the PC gamers out there, although i dont know if this is asking much, but they should release the minimum (JUST THE MINIMUM) requirements for Halo 2 Vista, that way maybe it'll give some people an idea of what they will need to save up for if their system is a P.O.C., other than that a good pic of some gameplay couldnt hurt...

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

sweet.

Q. when using K/M controls, will you be able to reduce (or even completely remove) the standard amount of auto-aim?

Q. What make/model is that sweet HDTV that you are playing H2V on?

Q. what is the map maker like?

Q. can you do some comparison shots of Halo 2 running on 360, and H2V running at the same reslution? and show them to us?
