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.



You're probably right. Speaking from experience, thats all interns are really good for (target practice).

No one knows, except bungie and they won't tell you anything other than what they have already.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

I love Halo PC, but I just can't put myself through another game where cheating is tolerated online. Bungie is committed to stopping cheating on XBL, I wonder if it will be the same for H2V.

We all know that Bungie didn't do the original Halo PC port. The same is true for H2V. I'm just worried that history will repeat itself.

I would like to see Bungie "put it all on the table" so to speak and reassure us about cheating, and fairness across the board (xbox controller autoaim) before I decide to purchase the game.

What it is.

if halo 2 vista isnt released along with Vista then they had damn well better be a demo...that, and an update...cuz it's been too damn long since they've spoken about Halo 2 Vista...

yea for real

it was going really good in the beginning, got a lot of good info...but then it just died down

is halo 2 vista coming out sometime in february? or a demo? you guys also should release more information about the Map Editor for Halo 2 Vista.

these videos are nice and all but, its not like we are seeing anything we havent seen before. really high resolution halo 2, wow amazing. i want to see some of the unique PC features, how finding servers will work, how dedicated servers will work, how the map maker works, all that kinda good stuff.

Everything is looking so awesome! Especially the maps!

But the weapons still need some brushing up and finish touches. The Shotgun looks AWFUL

Heyyo,

Definately great finds! Kudos to OP! =D

The jump distance seemed uber high, and nade throwing looked really nerfed as they flew near your guy's feet, lol.

sadly I did see some lunging in at least 1 vid... darn. Hopefully it doesn't autoaim like a mofo though.... there's no mention to how bad the autoaim is for the controllers just that they do indeed exist..

PQQPED QN!

Anyone know if we can use the 360 headsets or computer mics?

  • 01.27.2007 9:02 PM PDT

What it is.

if you plug in a mic into the 360 controller, the computer actually uses the controller's drivers as an audio source too, so yeah, the only downside is that you have to configure the audio to come out ur speakers and not the one on the headset..

Of course! If you even watched the videos closely, you can see the voice icon on the bottom right corner of the screen occasionally, showing that someone is speaking through a microphone.

It's really quite easy to tell which videos they're using xbox controllers and which theyre using keyboard and mouse...just pay attention when he's standing over a gun on the ground. Unless of course the Xbox controller somehow has an E button on it...or the X on the keyboard is round and blue. Both of which I doubt. :P

And those guys suck SO bad.

Awesome vids though, cant wait for some sort of news from the big guys about it. (particularly a release date)

yea those guys TRULY suck. but the people with the mouse may have a slight advantage over the guys with the 360 controllers due 2 the fact that they can turn thier character lightning fast

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.

Bungie said that the players could now use voice OR text. Just telling you. The majority might use headphones, but it doesn't really matter

I'll be chatting away by text once H2 Vista comes out. I don't feel like using my microphone. I wonder if the text will appear on the left-center of the screen like in the first game--they'll need to make another disable text modification or add a feature to disable text in-game if machinimists don't want the text to appear in their films.

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...


No. Just no. There had better be a way to disable that server side.

Oh, and did I see some HDR effects in there? I swear to god I see some bloom adjustment when going from dark to light areas. Dynamic Tone Mapping?

I saw a box for pre-orders for it at gamestop today, I asked when it is coming out and they said they had no clue.

Looks as though some of the textures were not quite ironed out yet... oh well. As for the difference between the 360 controller for windows and standard mouse and keyboard, I am sure they are going to put in a lot of effort in order to make it somewhat equal. As for the text and voice issue, I presume it will be fairly similar to that of Counter Strike where you can choose whichever form floats your boat. I hope that it comes out soon, or Bungie releases some more info at least!

p.s. who the heck ARE those n00bs????
