1) Autoaim - That would suck
2) No new weapons - Meh
3) Pay to play - That would really suck
4) No new vehicles - meh
5) Remove CO-OP abilities - meh again
6) Disable SP map creation - double meh
7) Disable UI creation - triple meh
8) Remove scripting - meh-tacular
9) -blam!- up the "editor" - meh-manjaro
10) Take away more than you can give - that would suck as well.

Ok, so the game won't be as wonderfully great as you thought. Big flying deal. Nearly all of you got your hopes way too high on this in the first place. So don't b*tch because Bungie isn't living up to what you thought the game should be. Just be glad we're even getting the game in the first place.

Obi Wan, you must think about this. Think of how bad a port Halo PC is. Do we want another half-assed port that disappoints?

You can bet that autoaim is definately in and that's why they overlooked mouse acceleration.

Why be glad about the game and what we are getting when we can do MORE than what they are letting us do with what we have right now? With Halo Custom Edition, we can do roughly 200%-250% of what can be done with Halo 2 Vista from what we have gathered. There isn't anything to look forward to except for less leading and prettier graphics.

To tell the truth, the community hyped up the game itself. GG...

If you notice, the answers they are leaving out shows that they are still thinking on what to do about those topics. Whoptie f-in do that we can't create our own single player maps or UIs. If you notice, with HCE we weren't supposed to create single player maps or uis, but Gearbox screwed up on that part.

They said they were checking out what to do with auto aim. They most likely will not have auto aim for keyboards and mice, but there may be a little bit for controllers due to the fact they are inaccurate and slow. I'm not saying that they are going to make controllers superior, just equal.

They did not -blam- up the map editor you dushe bag. Get the stick your of your arse.

So what if they do not have new content. THIS IS A PORT!

They did not say anything for or against paying to play, so stop spreading flippin rumors damit!

No online coop? Remember, this is a PORT. They are not going to create a completely new section of program so that you can have laggy online coop.

Don't start reviewing the game from the FAQ, keep an open mind. But I'm going to be honest, this might just turn into a half-ass effort to make some cash.

It's not all bad news though. The maps for Halo 2 were good....and the ones from the map pack were REALLY good. Even though they are taking out some things that are really importent, lets remember this people....it's halo, with or without mods the series is one of the best. (next to zelda o.O)

All I'm saying is that you got your hopes up, and now your mad because Bungie isn't adding what you wanted.

Did Bungie ever specifically say they were adding new weapons and vehicles? Did they ever say that you'd be able to modify the single player game? or the UI? Did they ever say there would be co-operative single player? Don't get mad at Bungie for not living up to your wild expectations. And don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason while your having your little tantrum.

What are you talking about. Compiling a single player map was supposed to be there. It's just unsupported.

I hope you fall and scrape your knee and get banned from here. I <3 how you speak such a thing to someone who has spent such a vast amount of time in the current editor.

In Halo 1, we got little nifty things like the flamethrower and rocket hog. Heaven forbid something like that happen again, cause we know it ruined the game and people hated it.

Yeah, cause Bungie, yours truly, definately started getting that rumor going.

The flamethrower and the rocket hog were good editions and gearbox improved gameplay with them. But the fuel rod.....eh, just eh.

I also use the editors retard. *directed at zeph and his attitude*


PS, I read no where on the faq about them going to force us to pay. currently they have not released any details. If you notice the first post in this thread, it implies that we HAVE to pay. That is what I'm talking about. That is what causes rumors.

Well of course its gonna be a half-assed port! Nobody at bungie cares about pc's any more which is kinda sad.
now, no new content- fine. Halo 2 was okay and we can make our own anyway.
sp editing? there wasn't any for Halo but we did it anyway- with or without their help.
but autoaim... arghghghgh. controllers should read-
"warning. if you use this hardware during internet matches, its a 95% chance you will get pwned by any idiot with a roller mouse. use at your own risk"

any FOOL knows m/kb are better. i know a girl in my clan who could be amazing if she didn't use a 360 controller. but don't give these idiots autoaim- if they cant deal with skill i don't want to deal with them.

the rest of it i'm okay with. besides, since i have a dx9 card (even a x19100!) i know the eye candy here wont be set up well for me.

No need for name-calling. I believe Zeph has had much more experience than you in many more areas of the HEK that you have.

The "take what you can get" logic doesn't convince me. I don't want to settle for a slightly prettier (depending on the computer specs) port of a two-year-old game. Gearbox gave us new maps, weapons, and vehicles, along with an editing kit that was capable of more than just multiplayer map creation. Why settle for less?

That self-righteous attitude doesn't endear others to you. Just because you have no interest in these aspects of modding doesn't mean others don't either.

This thread perfectly sums up my disappointment.


New vehicles and weapons are defenitely a good idea.

But.. auto aim? Come on!

Did Bungie ever specifically say they were adding new weapons and vehicles? Did they ever say that you'd be able to modify the single player game? or the UI? Did they ever say there would be co-operative single player? Don't get mad at Bungie for not living up to your wild expectations. And don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason while your having your little tantrum.
They didn't but they should have.

That's why we're saddened by this n00z.

In no way whatsoever, do I ever want to be endearing to anyone. I don't like other people. And I'll be damned if I let anyone become endeared to me. So I really don't give a rats ass if you or anyone else don't like me.

Now as for the topic at hand, I made no comment whatsoever on modding. The OP and pretty much everyone else who posted here is mad at Bungie for not adding all those things listed. They believed the hype and the rumours, got their hopes up, and now they're surprised that the game isn't going to include all the features they thought should be in the game. Guess what, it's no ones fault but theirs. And just because I'm pretty much the only one here who wasn't surprised or outraged that there won't be new maps/vehicles/weapons/whatever, or online co-op, or whatever makes me self-righteous? Then god-damn, I guess I'm a self-righteous son of a b*tch aren't I? And I couldn't care less what you or Master Kim, or jcap, or Buttmunch McGee over there think of me.

Guess what else: If you don't want to settle for a prettier version of a two year old game then why are you here? Because that's what Halo 2 Vista IS. I'm glad that we're even getting the game released for PC, I'm even happy it's being released for Vista, because at least it's being released at all.

Can't believe you made this topic being a CMT member Jcap.
If bungie reads this, CMT does NOT share this view, and we appologize for this topic.

One person doesn't represent a entire group. Also theres this good thing in america called freedom (which will be gone in 15 years, check my sig) so I don't think you need to worry about stuff like that, bungies always gonna like you guys at CMT.
