Is anyone else besides me following all this HaloGanza EGM stuff? Even though I will never, NEVER get an x360, I am still very much interested in how Bungie is handling the next chapter in the Halo saga. However, I am getting slightly tired of all the attention being directed to Halo 3. In Iggwilv's words, the "xboxers" have got their 16oz. Porterhouse, so where's our baked potato? I personally would like to see H2V Developer Diary Three up for the weekly update next week.

Edit: Interesting. I just found the leaked scans. Too bad I'm a bit rusty on my Swedish.

Hmm, because maybe, just maybe Halo 3 is more important than a port of a 2 year old game.

Just remember... I keep it real...

I know right, Halo 2 is two years old and the sequil is next year, who cares all that much about a PC port? I know, people that would spend $1,000 + on a computer just for gaming. I would much rather get a $400 video game system that much better then any computer I can afford.

I might get an Xbox 360, but it needs more 'exclusive' titles that I'm interested in. Seriously, even Gears of War is coming to PC, and that's the only game I was looking forward to, that and Halo 3.

Gaming Systems:
Intel Core i7 720QM (4 cores, 8 threads)
4Gb DDR3-1333mhz
1Gb AMD Radeon HD 4650
Windows 7 64bit

Xbox 360 w/ 20Gb HDD (2008 edition) & XBL Gold.

The Xbox360 is a very nice console. In fact, it's the best one out there, and in my opinion, better than the still not released PS3 platform. However, since i already have a good PC getting a 360 as well would be pointless. I'm also more accustomed to PCGaming, i find controllers much less elegant to use than Mouse and Keyboard setup. Most 360 titles will also make it to PC anyway, just like KotoR, Halo, Fable and soon Halo 2 have been made for the PC platform also. I'm not an impatient person, i don't mind the Xbox ppl getting some games a bit earlier. Besides, with PC-only developers like Relic around, i have pleanty of stuff to keep me occupied in the mean time. :D

A week from now they will have Halo PC/CE modded to be like Halo 2?

or...

A week from H2V's release, H2V's campaign will be modded to be Halo's campaign in a new engine?

He means Dest or someone else will mod the hell out of single player like how we wanted it Cheehwawa. Remember, auto aim is gone in the PC port.

I don't recall Iggwilv ever using something as asinine of a term as "Xboxer." He said that we, the PC gamers waiting for H2 Vista to come out, are getting the 16 oz. Porterhouse, not the Xbox players. And nobody here ordered a bake potato.

True. Not sure how that will work out for the BR (Which is already inconsistent as hell with auto aim) and there's still Half guns, lol. Well, I'll probably check out H2V or something when I get a decent PC and Vista...

One of the pluses of getting a program that comes with a map building program that allows you to change all values in the game is exactly that; we can change any value in the game. This means shot spread, delay, accuracy, power, bullet hit box value, and recoil (no longer will the auto-BB gun result in a kickback when a genetically-enhanced soldier uses both hands to fire it!).

Whoa, sweet. Then I guess I'll get it and turn the SMG into the Assault rifle, and the BR into the Pistol sorta like the Halo 2 CE guys did for Xbox.

Can I change skins in the map editor too, or is that a no-no? Wow, remaking HeH should be pretty cool...and daunting...

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

I don't like potatoes.........

Yes, you can. You can bet that there will be many mappers willing and will be porting many Halo 1 maps for H2V.

Yes the problem was that they released an entire week worth of updates about Vista and they didn't give any thing out about Halo3. They were starving for Halo3 info and they saw Bungie serve us up a 16oz Porterhouse steak. They did what any normal child would do, they threw a tantrum. Bungie just needs to throw a little Halo3 mashed potatoes on their plate and they will calm down and eat.

I am aware that Iggwilv said the opposite of what I said. It's called irony.

However, I take full credit for the "asininity" of using "xboxers". Go away, Mr. AP English.
