Heyyo,
Here's bloody proof that the xbox is weaker than a good PC. If you xbox n00bs can read, it shows here:
[XboxDrv.XboxClient]
TextureDetail=Medium
SkinDetail=Medium
LightmapDetail=High
TextureMinLOD=6
TextureMaxLOD=9
Brightness=0.8
Contrast=0.7
Gamma=0.8
NoFractalAnim=True
[XBoxAudio.XBoxAudioSubsystem]
ReverseStereo=False
Channels=32
MusicVolume=1.0
SoundVolume=1.0
AmbientFactor=1.0
UsePrecache=False
MEDIUM graphcis, on my comp, I can run it on high. Here's where my comp stands:
[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
WindowedViewportX=640
WindowedViewportY=480
FullscreenViewportX=800
FullscreenViewportY=600
WindowedViewportXPos=-1
WindowedViewportYPos=-1
WindowedViewportXPosEditor=-1
WindowedViewportYPosEditor=-1
MenuViewportX=640
MenuViewportY=480
Brightness=0.5
Contrast=0.5
Gamma=1.0
UseJoystick=False
CaptureMouse=True
StartupFullscreen=True
ScreenFlashes=True
NoLighting=False
MinDesiredFrameRate=35.000000
Decals=True
Coronas=True
DecoLayers=True
Projectors=True
NoDynamicLights=False
ReportDynamicUploads=False
TextureDetailInterface=Normal
TextureDetailTerrain=Normal
TextureDetailWeaponSkin=Normal
TextureDetailPlayerSkin=Normal
TextureDetailWorld=Normal
TextureDetailRenderMap=Normal
TextureDetailLightmap=UltraHigh
NoFractalAnim=False
ScaleHUDX=0.0
MouseYMultiplier=1.000000
MouseXMultiplier=1.000000
My system pwns the living $*it outta any xbox, modded or not. My system specs are in my sig. And remember, these are default settings. My real one's are more like this:
TextureDetailInterface=High
TextureDetailTerrain=High
TextureDetailWeaponSkin=High
TextureDetailPlayerSkin=High
TextureDetailWorld=High
TextureDetailRenderMap=Highl
TextureDetailLightmap=UltraHigh
Hah, I bet for Far Cry the xbox will die horribly graphics wise since they'd have to make smaller, lower detailed textures. (when you lower texture detail settings, it just uses a smaller version of the main textures, just like Halo PC. But for Halo PC, they never bothered making all the textures large enough for our screen rez sizes. (look at master chief's textures, they're the small xbox ones)).

Plus, if xbox is so strong as you guys proclaim it to be, then why would they be building an xbox2??? hmm? just for new looks? I don't think so, it's to keep up with new technology, cause xbox1 is old technology now.
I signed the petition skippy, it's more of a guarantee signing. Playing it safe never hurt dude. ;)
Yeah, gearbox diddn't do as good as they could've, rushed deadlines. I would've preferred waiting for HaloCE, but tha'd still be weak cause that took forever to get done after HaloPC's release...
I'll admit, xbox is easier to play with your buds in the same room, but across the net? -blam!- -blam!-. PS2 has FREE online play, you see, unlike xbox, they actually CARE aboot their gamers. That's must M$ having another scavenge for cash.
