Hey do you guys think that they will have a H2V demo within the next month?

Half of us won't be able to run it anyways, unless it's XP and DX9.0 compatible. Which I doubt.

It would be stupid to make a demo that isn't Dx9 compatible. The entire purpose of a demo is to entice gamers into buying the game. I'm not going to upgrade to Vista just to play the demo for a game I *probably* wasn't going to upgrade to vista for in the first place.

Go to Germany for that convention thingy. Read Bungie's top story today, it's all there.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

You know what, even though Microsoft said it was DX10 compatible and stricly for Windows Vista, who said they can't have a Windows XP port? A lot of people lost hope in the Win XP version of H2, but I think there's still hope. They haven't even started on DX10 yet.

...except they're flat-out not making it for XP period. :/

Uh, yeah. By the way, I must retract all the statements I made, saying that H2V would not be released with anything to mod/create maps. They are re-releasing Tool, Guerilla and Sapien in the same box as Halo 2. This will greatly improve the modding community.

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

The Vista beta has been out for ages.

And from what I've seen, H2V doesn't use DX10. They seem to have added HDR, upped the res of FP gun models, forced the highest LOD despite distance, and updated the bump mapping(parallax?), but it doesn't seem to fully support DX10. I could be wrong, though.
