I'll make this really short.

IS HALO GOING TO COME OUT FOR THE PC??!!! IF SO, WHEN???!!!

Fineus · **Reply #1 on:** May 14, 2002, 07:46:25 am

Yes, but they haven't said when.

NeoHunter · **Reply #2 on:** May 14, 2002, 07:49:01 am

I see. What are the specs for it like? Will I need a GeForce 3 to play it or something? Because I only have a TNT2 right now.

I heard a rumour that mentioned this fall.
Also I read somewhere that they may be showing Halo at E3.

Like I said rumours...

If true then W00t!

If not then... meh...

(now if DoA3 would come to PC aswell then there would be no need to even concider buying Xbox

)

I fail to see what so good about Halo, to me it looks a hell of a lot like C+C Renegade, and what a masterpiece that was.

Styxx · **Reply #6 on:** May 14, 2002, 01:37:19 pm

Eh, never really looked into that game...

It's well executed, on almost every level.

The maps are interesting, the objectives sensible, the opponents stealthy, the vehicles fun, and the story well told (if not a bit reminiscent of every sci fi story ever).

It may not be terribly innovative, but it is incredibly well executed.

:INTENSESHOCK: Ack!

I,ve played the game for the sum of 5minutes and its the BEST game ever.

Fineus · **Reply #9 on:** May 14, 2002, 02:13:53 pm

I'm with Zeronet on this I think, I found a copy of it running on the display version of the X-Box in Virgin Megastores a month ago or somethnig and just picked it up and started playing.. not only was that my first go on Hal obut my first go on the X-Box as well so I was pretty sloppy with the controls and everything. Even so my charachter was in a jeep at the time and I had great fun just burning around the edge of the island (it was down where the Warthog Jump Movie was filmed IIRC).

Anyways, I had great fun with it - obviously more play is required before I'll put absolute certainty on it being as good as they say but initial testing looks very promising indeed.

Personally I am looking forward more to Unreal 2.

Redfang · **Reply #12 on:** May 14, 2002, 02:17:12 pm

I have also played it, and it's good, but not great. Also, it's pad controlled. On PC it might be pretty good, though.

not me. the first one was so boring it was hardly believable. Oh sure, it was eye candy... that was about all unfortunately.

Fineus · **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2002, 02:38:54 pm

Hmm, don't be to hasty with that idea - remember that they've made UT since Unreal, they've come a long way and a lot of other inspirational games have been released since. There's a lot of evolution that's happened in the FPS and somehow I think they might have a good game in the works. The eye candy is definitely there and if they can piece together a decent storyline (which it seems they might have) then it could be worth it.

Zeronet · **Reply #15 on:** May 14, 2002, 02:40:51 pm

I really need some games that actually use my computers power, most of the game i own would run on the old computer, including JK2.

pb is that UT has no plot

and for know U2 just sounds like "return to the alien planet"...

CP5670 · **Reply #17 on:** May 14, 2002, 02:47:41 pm

Well, nothing has a truly awesome story besides FS/FS2 and DX in my opinion.

I need good level design and good fighting/gameplay, and this is one area where Unreal was way ahead of the competition for its time.

Hmm, could be true on both accounts - all I'm saying is don't be so hasty to judge it before it comes out. Would you buy Half Life if the only released story about it was "your a scientists in a lab, things go wrong and aliens show up". Not exactly an inspiring storyline is it?

Kellan · **Reply #19 on:** May 14, 2002, 03:02:55 pm

DX2 and UT2 = A1-SUPAR!

No, seriously.

Halo is incredible for a console shooter, IMO. Shame there's no bots, or I'd still be playing it now, but it's excellent for multiplayer.
