Title: Almost here....
Post by: 01010 on May 13, 2003, 03:06:55 pm: Halo PC (http://www.gamespy.com/previews/may03/halopc/)

Now all you non X-Boxers will get to see what this game is all about. I'm going to buy this again because it's worth it. :)

Post by: Unknown Target on May 13, 2003, 05:03:33 pm: phert, I can only buy one game, like, every 2-3 years and that's gonna be HW2.
Doubt Halo will be moddable at all, with it being a console port and Micro$hit at the helm.

If you read the article it says they're hoping to be releasing all the modding tools with it. I like the way everybody says "M$ will make it ****" when Microsoft have nothing to do with the game other than publishing it. It's Bungie (Gearbox for the port) that decides what happens with the game and I have a lot of faith in Bungie. One of the few games companies left that try to push themselves and continually make awesome games.

I know MS owns Bungie. I said that I believe, probably not clear enough anyway. However, I recall reading a posting somewhere (try to dig it up if I can) that Bungie droppped PC and Mac development to focus on the XBox version partly because MS wanted them too but mostly because it saved them a LOT of time with compatability issues and such, which gave them more time to polish the game and add graphical features that weren't yet available for either the PC or Mac.

Halo wasn't that bad to be honest, I've playes a lot worse control wise (Timesplitters 2) but I am looking forward to Keyboard and mouse, mostly the multiplayer though because you can fly the Banshee's (can't on the Box of X)
