"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

FarCry = queer french-canadian waste.

Halo 2 = 0wnage.

Ditto...any news on that at all?
Halo 2's just a console game with good graphics to me until it comes out on PC.

I still don't think a PC version of Halo 2 will come to light however. Nothing has been stated at all.

Must admit, getting really bored with FPS games these days.

It'll come. To not port it at all would be a huge mistake. Especially financially.

Just hope it's not Gearbox again............

Albeit Halo2 is reportedly a lot more optimised for the X-box architecture, so a Pc port would be more difficult and thus expensive - and also more unlikely.

Not that you'd be missing too much, though - Pc is the king of FPS anyways, what would be a big FPS on the xbox is just another fish in the sea on the PC.

Halo 2 Xbox has 1.5 million preorders, I think financially the PC version might be a money hole for the gain to be gotten from it. I really think MS might want to keep this exclusive, if not permanently, for a long while.

I'd like to see a PC version though, just a better port this time around.

To be honest (RE: screenies), I don't think Halo2 looks much better than, for example, Jedi Academy on the PC.  It seems all very angular - i.e. plain and low detailed.  Original had that problem, too.

  • "YES, I did finally see 'The Matrix' 12 years late
I'm starting to be reminded of when every freakin' game that game out was more or less a duplicate of Street Fighter:

Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc etc etc.

Now you have:

Unreal, Doom, Quake, Half-Life, Halo....

At least the Thief series still stands pretty unique :).  No crosshairs and killing everyone is the fastest way to lose.
