Now all they need is Halo 1 for PC :rolleyes:

I knew that MS buying Bungie Entertainment would be a very bad thing! :mad:

Good. Maybe they will actually make a game instead of hype this time since they got the engine part finished. What the engine could do is amazing. I have no idea how they screwed up the gameplay.

Halo was playing pretty fun as an off road racing game with the warthog. *Me and a friend would play chicken with the warthogs, and see where we could squeeze the warthog into*

They really shouldn't have tacked on that FPS part into the game, or they could have at least done it right. Also there was no excuse for that horrid indoor level design. I mean, come on people. From looking at the detail from the outdoor levels you are not really hurting for poly's. Spice up the indoors some. Going through the same looking rooms over and over gets old fast. I had some wolfenstien flashbacks for crying out loud.

PA came up with a good thought about that :)
Naughty languge in comic. Nobody over 40 should read it.

Don't mind me though. I'm just jaded when it comes to FPS's. Playing the likes of Doom back in the day, Half Life, Deus Ex, and the great System Shock 2. I kind of expect the genre and the single player experience specificly to move forward.

The sick thing is, those Xbox controllers are drawn to scale :D

[Wombat Woo]

Hehe yeah the Xbox controller is rather large. It fits my hands rather nicely though. My gripe about it though is the two clear buttons. They are too small, too cramped, and out of the way.

I still think Nintendo makes the best controllers. Hands down.

As for Halo 2, it'll be nice to see. I mean, they'll have Halo ready for PC by then, and they'll pro'lly incorporate a lot of Halo 2 into it.

Yes I always enjoyed the controllers nintendo made. The gamecubes controller is smaller than xbox's but the design and button layout make up for it, and it fits my hands good because of those reasons. I really liked the N64 controller because some games you could play with one hand. So you could have the controller in one hand and a beer in the other. :beer:

As for halo pc. Good ol gearbox is doing it. Well known for their half life addons. I am quite confidant that they will pimp the hell out of it and I also bet that the single player will be totally different, because IMHO halo single player for xbox sucked and also it will help boost sales and give people that currently own the xbox halo to buy the pc halo.

What OTHER reasons would there be for the game having a estimated release date of summer 2003 for the PC.
