Lord Glorfindel Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 Will Halo (PC Version) be as good as the original XBOX version? I believe it will be hard to counter with a good Console game
Com Raven Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 I guess it should be just as good on the pc... the difference is that there is more high-class shooter competition on the pc market...
Aliasalpha Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 It'll be better. I'm a big fan of the xbox version but I can't wait for the Aliens mod that will inevitably follow the PC release. I mean come on, as soon as I saw the Flood I was thinking Face Hugger...
Taos Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 All of what they said and the fact that the mp might not be too bad either....
Com Raven Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 hmm, I don't think they will release a sdk soon...
Guest Jed Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 Well don't I feel like an idiot, I didn't even know that Halo was coming out for PC. Hope it'll be just as good, I know I'll be getting it.
Lord Glorfindel Posted January 15, 2003 Author Posted January 15, 2003 Here's a Gamespot GameSpace for Halo (pc), it has articles, some screens and some other stuff Gamespot HALO (PC) GameSpace
Darth Simpson Posted January 15, 2003 Posted January 15, 2003 As long as Gearbox don't screw it up, it'll be fine. Xbox users will have Halo 2 by the time it comes out though...
Taos Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 Aaahhh....we will indeed. I think that might be a pretty good game.
Treacherous Mercenary Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 Halo for PC eh? I might get it if there's a demo for it. At least I can aim better and such compared to that Xbox controller! I can't stand controllers anymore.
Com Raven Posted January 16, 2003 Posted January 16, 2003 no, Halo 2 will come some months after Halo... also, I've seen [and killed, for that matter] guys who aim worse with mouse than I do with a controller
Notion Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 Don't set your expectations too high for Halo on PC. It's not being made by bungie, but rather another developer (Gearbox?). I don't know their history but the game will have the same story and setting, but probably different gameplay and graphics. Possibly a whole knew game. Xbox owners will have Halo 2 about 1-3 months after Halo PC.
Com Raven Posted January 21, 2003 Posted January 21, 2003 gearbox made OpForce, Blue Shift, Nightfire...
Lord Glorfindel Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 I think Gearbox also converted Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 for PC
Taos Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Why would Bungie not be involved for pc Halo? This just seems strange to me......
Guest Jed Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 I looked into this and I heard Bungie was going to be involved, and that they're gonna try to stick to the XBox game as much as possible. I'm utterly confused now....
Darth Simpson Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Gearbox is doing Halo PC, Bungie is doing Halo 2 Xbox.
TheMadDoofer Posted January 24, 2003 Posted January 24, 2003 Even if they don't change the story for the PC version, it will still be a lot of fun to play - it probably can be modded. Also, I doubt Gearbox could do this without any help from bungie.
Aerothorn Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 I thought Phoenix was canned? Anyway Gearbox is doing it but Bungie will look it over if there is anything they don't like. I know the guys at Bungie, I've actually played Halo with them. Anyway, yes, it will be better as in better graphics, more content and multiplayer, etc. It will use mouse and keyboard, which is both good and bad- mouse and keyboard are more accurate, but half the fun of Halo was using a control scheme that you wern't accustomed to- mouse and keyboard, theres no challenge to aiming, and it was fun doing something new with Halo. I hope I get chosen for beta testing, I think they only take people 16 or older for M rated games though- Microsoft called me recently(I live in the area and am signed up for their beta test program, I've done it once before) but then they noticed I was 15 and said nevermind, the needed people 16 and older. And for those who say Xbox gamers will have Halo 2 before PC users have Halo, that untrue, barring release date pushbacks, which seem more likely for Halo 2 then Halo. Halo PC is coming this summer, Halo 2 is coming at the end of the year.
Com Raven Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Phoenix was cancelled, but work started on a new project called Phoenix... And one thing is sure: Halo 2 will be ready for the holidays... Worst case, MS will throw all their people at it, but it's this year's big prestige project...
Notion Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 I've got my money on November 15 for Halo 2. Nov. 15, 2001 Release of Halo and Xbox Nov. 15, 2002 Release of Xbox Live Nov. 15, 2003 Release of Halo 2 Nov. 15, 2005 Release of Xbox 2 and Halo X
Aerothorn Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 I'm just praying the Microsoft really DOES buy out the Vivendi Universal games division. I have access to the company store, so if they did, that means I would get Blizzard and Sierra games for $10 PC or $20 Xbox. Sweet...
Notion Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 You lucky dawg. My, you have a lot of contacts. I would really be taking advantage of that.
