Shacknews posted that the auto aim will be the same from the Xbox version if you choose to use a 360 controller, which is some good news...

From what I can tell in the videos, H2V looks sharper, and the MC's look alot better... Although, when they die, they look a bit weird :S

The videos aren't old, but the game they're playing might be... but I understand what you're saying...

I'm hoping that somebody will as what version they're playing in a future article... I'm guessing that its an early beta.

No, that is some extremely disappointing, upsetting, enraging news which is making my blood boil at the moment.

RagDoll Physics FTW!

Although that Beever Creek vid looks like they were playing with controllers, the autoaim wasn't quite as evident as I remember from playing Halo2 Xbox or watching Halo2 Xbox videos.

Now the noobs who use controllers will dominate because of Halo 2's massive aim-assist and huge hitboxes.

YAY

I don't think so... every article that I've read (including some that I haven't listed) said that you have much better control and aim than with the controller. And besides, the majority of people probably won't be using a controller...
Also note that they said auto aim, not hit boxes. And the game is still in development, so who knows!

Hit boxes can be a part of auto aim because, if they'r to big, even if you miss the oponent's head by a few inches, it will still count as a head shot. I've gotten several kills like that in Halo 2.

Uhm. Did anyone notice the guy had a speaker icon on the screen? Now I'm not sure on this but I thought H2V didn't support voice? I'm thinking this is the Xbox version. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. The gameplay is HORRIBLE but if that's for the computer it looks pretty good.

Interesting. They could be playing on Live Anywhere, or testing it out or something. Or maybe it's a new feature inbeded into the online play for those who have mics.

No its from the PC for sure, just look how polished the weapons now and the very very smooth framerate, it looks significantly a lot better then the Xbox version. I also think that their is HDR in the game now. I noticed that is a big contrast between dark and light areas.

Um, since when did they say that they weren't going to not have voice support?

Watching those videos made me want to kill myself. These people suck at Halo 2.

The silky smooth framerate, however, is something I'm looking forward to.

Of course, Crysis is why I'm getting Windows Vista, not Halo 2. :)

Just look at the HD videos over at gametrailers, the game looks fantastic (we'll even get HDR).

I am a long time H2 gamer on xbox and xbox 360 and I gotta tell ya, I am excited about H2V as I have always wanted to play it on PC and learn keyboard and mouse. I think those videos were cool but please tell me those guys were trying to suck like they were LOL. The map maker or whatever its called sounds awesome as well.

Have a good one guys.

The point of the video was to demonstrate the graphical changes made for H2V. Not to show off skill. Most likely they plucked a few interns from thier cubicles and plopped em in front of a computer.

but presumably Bungie also kept the game's auto-aim enabled when users have selected the controller method.

They "presume" it they said
I wonder how a radeon X800xt can handle it?
I hope it was optimized better and has better netcode *prays*
