As most of you know, Halo: PC was coded extremely inefficently and is basically a system-hog. Even though Halo came out in 2001 (for the Xbox) on my PC Half-Life 2 runs with a better frame-rate and resolution and everything.

So is the H2V team going to code H2V really sloppily like HPC or are they going to take the time to maximize engine efficiency?

First off, what are your system specs? This "resource hog" of Halo 1 PC didn't seem to slow my computer down when I used to run around with 512RAM, 9200 PCI, and a Pent3, and I ran it at 1024x768 max settings with 30 FPS locked.

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

just depends on how powerful your pc is........

Just wait about 6-12 months after release, update all your hardware, and you'll be fine.

Gearbox isn't making the port this time, so I'm not too worried.

You shouldnt rag on Gearbox to much on how bad the port was. They had to start from pretty much square one since Halo 1 was built with no netwoking code. But yeah, with the Microsoft and Bungie working on H2 for pc, online play should be much better.

Why'd this guy get the banhammer? linking to nudie pics? asking for keys? making inappropriate comments directed at the moderators significant other?
