Officially canceled.....it was Interplay after all.  Why would they release a game like that when it was sure to be totally awesome?  They'd much rather spend their time and effort on mindless drivel.

I am not a big fan of consoles (just give me my pc and kick their buts) but Halo was sweet.  Now, we can expect it to come out on the PC just before hell freezes over.  Seriously, Hopefully it comes out soon, but from what I've heard, it won't be the exact same game as the X-box version.  This could be a good thing, such as being optimized for the PC.  Can't wait

Soul calibur people! What is with this DOA3 nonsense? It has dodgy controls and gameplay whilst Soul Calibur is utterly sublime but then again very few people noticed the Dreamcast and SEGA shot themselves in the foot with bad advertising.

Also why is no one commenting on GC's other big hitters, monkey ball and ISS? ISS is excellent if you like football and mario sunshine is painfully close. GC rocks

Oh yeah, HALO is A1-SUPAR

Just read on the HALO site that the release date is summer 2003.  of course, wheather they hit this date or not is up to fate to decide

[NegspectahDek]

Soul Calibur and DOA3 are the 2 best fighters ever.  I admit going from SC to DOA3 is hard, but once you master it, the amount of control you have is AMAZING.

But Halo is by far the best game form XBOX.  That being said, I'm waiting for the PC version cause of one thing: modding.  If you played the Starship Troopers TC for Duke Nukem, the concept of a FPS SST game is mind blowing.  Think of a SST TC for the PC version of Halo.

ISS is actually on all the systems.... but the GC has by far the best gamepad.  And I wouldn't buy the X-box - I don't want Halo (hate most FPS's), the control pad is bulky and a bit tacky, and the system is just a modified PC....

and slag off Luigi's mansion if you want, but it's the only next-gen game (bar GTA3) I've tried that has seemed genuine 'fun'.

I'll say one thing - i expect the GC to be replaced with a new system relatively soon (albeit a backwards compatible one, ala PS and Ps2) - evrything I've seen on it suggests it's a sort of medium term technology system (whereas the X-box is more futureproofed - it has potential be the best, but needs to attract developers to do so... and is failing dismally in Europe and Japan), which would allow nintendo to expand on it and release a new system around the time of the PS3.  

whereas microsoft seem intent on creating a 'home' Pc-in-a-box to superceded the X-box, which seems to me to defeat the point of developing a 'games console', when it's just going to be used as a sort of trojan horse for a Pc in your living room.......

I'll believe it when I see it. (Come out on PC)

HALO RULEZ THE UNIVERSE!!!
The detail is incredible!! Use a sniper rifle to zoom in on a tree or anything, the marines and technicians sound real (Maybe not the technicians ("I'm a cowardly fool!") And the grunts are so funny ("GRENADE! *Boom*" "HE'S UNSTOPPABLE!" "GET IT OFF *Plasma grenade explodes" "He's going to kill us all!) The marines even have realistically timed blinking and their eyepeices show tactical data (kinda). Not to mention how fun it is to stick a plasma grenade to an elite and watch them fly 20 feet into the air. (not predator) I hope the PC version has a level editor *Drool*
P.S. get together with friends sometime and have 4 people throw a plasma grenade on each wheel of a warthog or tank at the same time and watch it fly!

   *drools uncontrolably* hot damn, and i thought the first one had a decent engine but jeez,  i can't wait, for it to hit the shelves sometime in 2003.

[NeoHunter]

2003??!! What the hell are the developers doing?! You know how long I have been waiting for that game???!!!

Damn it! Why did they have to release for the X Box first instead of the PC version?

[Crazy_Ivan80]

Why am i not really impressed?

If it ain't coming for the PC it doesn't exist

talk about pissing of a large potential customer base

[Kellan]

It's coming out for the PC next summer, reputedly with expanded multiplayer functionality, possibly a level editor and all that stuff. And the reason that they're holding it back is because most people are buying an XBox just to play it. If it was available on other formats sales would plummet.

When sales of Halo start to drop off, it'll come out. Not sooner.

Pretty nice, even if it's only 640x480 resolution. Doom III looks a lot better though.
 
Hmm, actually it doesn't look that different from original?

[Mr Carrot]

Actually the people who saw the trailer said it looked far better then Doom 3.......... not necesarily in flashy graphical effects but apparently it looks far more realistic and *immersive*.

Still trying to forget....

anyway these halo 2 shots are only early yet, just imagine what the end-product's gonna look like

some people have a console, others have a pc. I have both an xbox and a pc, so i have a choice of what i can play. you can't force bungie to put halo on the pc, besides, gearbox are taking care of that. just be patient games don't get the GOTY for being rushed. Just look at daikatana as a case in point (rushed).
