Halo 2 PC Screens..

mark_t50 · 25 Aug 2006 at 23:37

I'm sure Halo 2 is a ploy by Microsoft to get people to hand over money for a copy of Vista just to play a years old, and imho, average at best game.

I've got nothing against a new game being released that fully uses DX10 and needs Vista, that's fair game. But to release Halo 2 as Vista only, when it could probably be programmed only using DX8 and still look better than the original Xbox version, is a joke.

Point = missed.

What if you have a PC + hardware that will run it, but not an Xbox, or any interest in getting one?

Looks exactly like xbox version when played on 360 in HD :/ I read somewhere that they are supposed to be adding some brand new maps though, which still doesn't justify spending £200+ for a new OS if you just want Halo2

We are not ALL kiddie console gamers.

I play console and PC games depending on what I feel like doing, mostly PC though.

I guess I am a "kiddie"? :rolleyes:

I go as far as to say that the 360 (patched) version in HD looks better judging from them screens!

You never know - maybe those are old screens.. they could have gave it a makeover ?

I hope they do. Looks like a straight port at the moment! Ok Halo 2 isn't a new game but I was looking forward to seeing what it would look like on DX10.

looks really poor actually

Calm it down please, Seek stop replying to them if you have issue to it, replying makes things 10x worse.

Some people need to chill out in this thread.

Vista will be about more than gaming though for me.

Give it 6 months and most will be moving over, then add a year in and most of the OMG VISTA SUCKS people will be running it.

Most important thing with an OS though is to run a legal supported one, the people complaining about XP if I remember correctly were the ones who did not have official patches.

I'll buy Windows Vista without a doubt, just not until 2008 at the earliest (unless there are more than two killer DirectX 10 applications by then, which I serously doubt.)

Windows XP suits my needs perfectly for now, I don't feel the slightest bit enticed.

Also its prolly better to wait for a service pack or 2 to iron out any problems before buying.
