you know how some games get ported to xp for the people that have a pc and not an xbox. well this is like saying to the people that have xp and not an xbox. Hey every one were porting halo2 to pc but i doesn't work on xp it work on a program you still don't have so you will never get to play it instead were going to brag about it how its for vista and you will never get it. thats kinda what its like saying. It would be better if they would put it on a platform that everyone has. but no they have to be different. They have to be the man.


That has to be the most nonsensical, rambling, convoluted piece of garbage I've ever had the misfortune of trying to read. For the love of Satan and all that is unholy type like a human being. Not some cracked out preteen who put his face into his daddies crack stash.

Go buy Windows Vista. There, problem solved.

I skimmed it. Amazing the stuff you remember from taking those SAT exams...read right down the center and a bit to the sides, got the gist of what you were saying.

Would it kill you to hit the space a few times? ¬_¬ I know you posted this in the derelict H2Xbox forums (goes to show you...), but this is Teh Mawzorz...you should've at least anticipated it's eventual relocation to this forum.

=====><=====

H2V will sell, but not in numbers anywhere close to games like HL2e2 (Half Life 2 ep2). Keep in mind that those other games will either blow you away with stunning graphics (Crysis, etc) or come bundled with a bunch of other VERY cool stuff (Portal to be released with HL2e2). A mostly straightforward port of a 3-year-old Xbox rehash simply doesn't match up in comparison.

The decision to make it Vista exclusive makes sense from a logical (or financial, however you want to call it) standpoint, but makes almost no sense if considered in any other sense. Let's just put it this way: while it's not clear what their motive is, even if they made it Vista-exclusive to push it out the door more, it's not going to be as effective or as evil as everyone thinks. Mostly cause nobody's going to seriously consider dropping that much money on such an old (by today's standards) game.

Long live the MAW.

don't play dumbass. Oh, what do I mean by "play"? if we wanted an auto-aim, no skill, 6-year-old polluted Halo; we would want to play Halo 2 Xbox. If we wanted a fresh, game full of opertunites; we would play Half Life 2 ep 2 or Crysis. Of course the big thing of Halo 2 Vista FREE online multiplayer, and custom content. Of course Halo 2 Vista will sell, just not to such an extent where Bill Gates will start to dance.
BTW: you posted something about Windows 98 crashing, my friend's Xbox just stopped working. only 2 months old and it can't even start up, and this guy takes care of all his stuff.

Ha, you've still got your ass all clenched up about that? I wouldn't have to make fun of peoples bad grammar if they took the time to not use bad grammar.

By the way, I'd rather be a jerk off than a goofy 8 year old with little grasp of the English language.

Okay, I'm from England, the home language of English. I'm in a university, and have to type thousand word essays.
So yeah, I guess I will have little grasp on the English language.

So you just keep doing what you do well, which is browsing the internet all day and trying to make humorous replies about people's grammar, when it's perfectly readable.

Congratulations on making yourself look like an idiot.

Couldn't have done it better myself.

And Rapier, people who use bad grammar are stupid. People who use I.M. speak on a forum are stupid and lazy. Take an extra minute to think before you post, or just shut the hell up. Just because you are from England, doesn't make you an expert in the language.

You say you're in university, why do I not believe you? Oh yes, because you don't act like a university guy. You act like a middle school preteen who tries to make a decent comeback/insult in retribution. You fail.

  • 02.03.2007 9:51 PM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

I love this guys from The Maw. Especially when they take care of the poor little children that get lost in their way from the Halo 3 Forum and New Mombasa. Oh, and Rapier, Kim sends his regards. ; )

[EDIT]

Consoles fail at life. Those who play them and say they are better even more.

* Pr: ĭnʹtərnĕts: "I hear there's rumors on the uh (pause), Internets...

To be honest, I think that expectations are middle of the road for H2V, and that the sales will be about the same as the expectations.

Why buy a 3 year old console game with support only on the newest, and most expensive OS released.

I especially liked the part where he said his posts were "Perfectly" Readable.

I've read tea leaves in the bottom of my cup that where more readable.

Yes, because idiots will by anything, even if it's something they've already had for 3 years.


Yeah, I guess those stupid idiots will 'by' anything. They're so stupid.

Oh, and also: Arrange your waterfall of text into readable paragraph form and I shall consider reading it.

Well done, sir. Waterfall is definitely an appropriate metaphor.

Also, this BK doesn't realize that being able to mod Halo 2 will be impressive. I can't wait to play people's custom mods.
It's got to be interesting. I would like to see what CMT can cook up with Halo 2's engine.

Halo 2 is going to sell, but don't think along the lines of Half Life 2 pre-orders or World of Warcraft. Let's face it, one of the Xbox's most popular, widely-known titles ever is pretty much something nobody cares about in the PC gaming world compared against other major franchises such as Half Life, Counter-Strike, Unreal Tournament, Quake, whatever--the list goes on and on.

By the way, maverickz, please improve your grammar. And you too, iPro.

WTF? How are people never going to get vista. It's alredy out (I think) so people will be geting it and they will be able to buy H2V if they choose to, wich alot of them will. And saying that they should put Halo 2 on XP because not everyone has Vista is like saying they should put Halo 3 on Xbox because not everyone has an Xbox 360.

BTW I translated it as well as I can.

Okay, I understand what you're saying, and you know what you're talking about, but not everybody knows why Halo 3 isn't on the Xbox.

  • 02.04.2007 12:34 PM PDT

Heck I am going to get it, sure it be out for 3 years but heck it on PC and seen as I play the first one for the PC all the time ill do the same with Halo 2 and well also have Halo 2 CE so that will be real cool.

It's a straight port of a three year old original Xbox title that you need a new OS to play. Marketing genius to be sure.
