My card is worth 150 bucks and my cpu is a HEELLLL of a lot better then a crap celeron that is in an xbox....THEREFORE RESULTING IN BETTER PERFORMANCE F.U.CKING PERIOD!!!!

Really, it would if anything load faster on PC. Because on XBOX it has to pull data off of the disc every so often and gets annoying after a while, when with PC once you install everything its right there on your hard drive, it tecnicaly still loads but from the HD not the Disc so a lot faster........unless you find some way of copying HALO for XBOX to the XBOX harddrive then it would load just as fast, but that is a hassle probibly to do.....so i wouldent think it would be worth it

yeah... Hard drives can shift data a hellova lot faster than optical drives, therefore playing an installed game from a hard drive is a lot faster than reading from a disc. Have you not noticed that the Xbox 'loading' screen doesn't come up on the Pc version? Or if it does it's for like half a second. It doesn't make you sit there waiting while it finds what it needs on the disc, it just Does it. I'm surprised you didn't catch on to that. Installed games work faster than disc-based ones.

And for people who say installing takes time: You only have to do it ONCE ffs. Not like you have to install it every time you play. The amount of time you save from having it on your hard drive instead of loading from disc makes up for the couple of mins you spend installing it the first time.

BTW, unless you think you could do a better job, STFU about Gearbox. They didn't screw up, you did. You expect to be able to play a game perfectly on a PC which can't handle it, that's your problem alone and your fault for being ignorant. The PC version requires better hardware because the graphics are better. If you can't be arsed to upgrade then expect -blam!- performance. I have Never experienced lag in that game. I've played the whole single player campaign, played 16-way multiplayer battles on all maps, even hosted my own server with 8 people, and it never lagged. So WELL DONE Gearbox for doing an excellent job, and well done to the people who disagree, for showing yourself to be ignorant console-hugging lamers.

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.

...in the words of Stan, Holy -blam!- dude. You rock.

There's only one problem with your post: Xboxer's will be too retarded to understand any of that code. They call themselves hardcore gamers? They just buy a box which does all the gaming for them. They have no idea what they're missing.

Heyyo,

Heh, you probalby read my post before I finished it. read it over, I edited it a few times over to make sure I got my message across right. ;)

Since Tribes: Vengeance is on the unreal engine, anyone with UT2k3, or UT2k4 check your "default.ini" files, it'll probably list xbox's equivalent graphics settings. If I had an xbox (aside from maybe easy gaming with buds in the same room), I'd probably be as an expensive mug plate , I'd rather leave mug stains on that than on my coffe table. =D

Lol, and btw, xbox'ers think they're hardcore gamers by getting custom case mods put onnit.. most of them not changing the overall look, still black n' green usually, just different patters.

*Sarcastically* look at me! I can splash paint on my PC! I'm just like a hardcore xbox-er now!! =D
