Oh well, just have to get my friends around and X-Box it.

Only the problems that the PC version suffers from. Erratic frame rate and poor controls. I really want to love the PC version but it's like a mutant clone of the Xbox version but they gave it a shirt and tie to make it look a bit tidier.

I've got a mag. article with some Gearbox fellow gushing some dribble about "Bunge and Gearbox are the same...blah blah...we will accept nothing but the best...blah blah...won't relase code till it's as good as it can be...blah blah"

so much for that eh?:blah:

Post by: Stunaep on November 11, 2003, 01:57:57 pm: erratic frame rate? Have you got the new Nvidia drivers? after getting them my framerate improved tenfold.

Post by: Fineus on November 11, 2003, 01:58:46 pm: You know what's funny? The only picture anyone has posted is of Halo being uninstalled. And that was me.

Should I just lock this and get it over with? We already have one topic...

the screens taken by Halo are much better quality than anything you can crank out in paint..........

Post by: StratComm on November 11, 2003, 05:36:36 pm: He means paste the screen capture from the clipboard into paint and save it. Only difference is it's an actual screen capture, while the -screenshot command line may pause the game for extra processing when taking a screen to give a higher-quality image.

Yes. And if you don't like Paint...use Paint shop instead or even better photoshop. Just make sure you use the same resolution in PS so that it is the same res you use in the game. That's why I rather use Paint Shop because it automatically gives you the right res. You don't even have to open a new doc. to paste anything.
