I only played up to one hour's worth of Halo until I got sick of it. Not planing to buy Halo2 any time soon.

HL2 keeps me busy. And so does Far Cry. Every game so far has their ups and downs.

i wonder..

what if bungie used a tweaked version of the source engine for its next title?

[Flipside]

They probably will. It seems to me that the market is going to produce Sports games and FPS with the odd Warcraft based film-inspired or sequel RTS if they can be bothered.

Personally I'm tired of it. They've picked a genre and they are just upping and upping the targets to isolate and force upgrades. I can cope with those targets no problem, but I feel sorry for those who can't.

XBox version I don't have a problem with, after all, that's a game console, but I'm seriously losing faith with the PC market, which should, by rights, have far more flexibility.

Problamy not because Bungies next project will be for Xboxnext. Source is not enough (i think) better choice would be unreal 3.0 engine (one of Xboxnext game that is coming uses it) but i think that they develop own engine again.

ooh, i dunno, sure halo2 had the better story, and graphical effects (particularly the glowy post prod stuff ), but HL2's character models and lip-syncing, etc, was spot on. also, the physics, was awesome.

offhand, i'd say that HL2 and Halo2 just about match each other in various departments, moreso, in others, and so on.

it's a moot point, really, having played both, i can honestly say, that both of them were money well spent.

When making those comments I was referring to HL2. So I agree that HL2 has better graphics but Halo 2 has the better story.

Ace, just because this board gives us the freedom to post stupidly large inline images, doesn't mean you should.

Pfft. You just need to use a higher resolution. It fits my screen fine.

What an ignorant, arrogant thing to say. I'm running at 1280x1024 and it still runs off the edge of the screen. Plus, that image is almost a MEGABYTE.
