Vulcan900 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I would call where ever you do decide to go. Since most places that are doing that are for pre-order only. I have mine on pre-order, but I am not picking it up till after work tommorow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wease Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Please tell me what I am missing about this Halo fad. What is so great about this game? The first time I saw it, it looked like Quake 2 multiplayer, circa 1998. Is it because you can play it on your TV and don't need a PC? I guess I don't get it because multiplayer LAN PC FPS games have been out for the better part of 10 years now. And the graphics suck compared to what a PC can do. What's the big deal?

I guess I don't get it because multiplayer LAN PC FPS games have been out for the better part of 10 years now. And the graphics suck compared to what a PC can do. What's the big deal? well you don't need 4 computers to have 4 people play. Xbox's only cost 150. You can have 16 players with only 4 cpu's. The game play is better. The graphics could be better but you are also playing on a tv. In summary It is unique in that you don't need to be a computer guru to play and has a more familer interface. I mean they must be doing something right for this to have been the most anticipated release of a pc/game console game ever. The PC version of the same game does not do well in sales.

The PC version of the same game does not do well in sales. I agree with most everything but these three points. Sure, you can have 4 players with one XBox. Too bad each player has to look at a tiny part of the TV to navigate and play the game. That might work somewhat OK on my 51 inch HD TV, but not most TV's. The game play is NOT better. You have much faster processing time with a faster CPU and more RAM. And the reason the PC version doesn't sell well is because Halo is lame compared to similar PC games. Other than those points, I agree with what you said. You can't beat $150 for a console and whatever for the game itself... smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one complained last time I had people over the house for a little multiplayer action. For the most part we play on my 2 57" theater wides and a 32 I put in the kicthen.

Itstarted out being designed for Macs and MS bought bungie out and then it was being geared torwards PC until MS decieded to design a console and was needing to have a Flagship game. Now if Halo 2 came out for PC I believe it would do very well in sales but it wont because it will take away from the xbox sales. It will come out but will probably in a year or so and sales for it will be average just like halo was. also the game is good because th esingle player has a great story line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorback Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I hate XBOX. FPS games were meant to be played with a mouse on a big 19+ inch monitor (single player AND multiplayer), not a silly little homo pad. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolen 5.0 Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 actually u don't have to split up screens if u don't want, u can link up 16 xbox's on play online jus like the pc. and the ending sucks, i'm quite disappointed, going to go threw on legendary now that i have a feeel for the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
