tokyodrifter Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I just d/l and play the Halo demo, and I think it's not as great as the Xbox version. I'm not sure why, but I think this game doesn't have the same "magic" as the Xbox version. Overall, it's pretty good but two things that bugs me: the graphics and multiplayer. On my Sony, I had to turn everything down/off in order to keep 15-20 fps (slow but playable). Unfortunately it will slow down to a crawl if they're are other players/monsters/explosions on the screen. My last gripe is the servers are SLOW. I was able to get in some good games, but for the most part it is too laggy. Don't go for the hype and download the demo first if you're interested. My 2 cents
Aaron Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Yeah its a kinda slow game even on my top end machine, but I played it in 1280x1024 (duh). Next time I'll play in 1024 res.
canny Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 No matter how low the resolution you play it at. Halo goes poorly inside indoor levels, it gets worst as the further you go.Bloody Microsoft, trust them to f*** this up!
Snoop Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 im not suprised the game is messed up after all it was going to be for pc then they decided to take the pc code and make it xbox code then they ported back to the pc wheres the logic in that?
Drewdatrip Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 My thoughts exactly Snoop!I have a pretty tight rig and when theres alot of stuff going on, it tends to lag abit.... My thoughts, the propiety hardware in a Xbox has been underestimated, or the game code for the xbox is seriously superior.|Drew|

Carmon Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 :/ hmm i was gunna get that on Monday lol ill have to think about it now
Ghost Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 I've got the full version and it runs fine on my machine and its no where near top end. Duron 1200 256m ram geforce 2 mx 400 @800x600 i don't have a problem

Duron 1200 256m ram geforce 2 mx 400 @800x600 i don't have a problem:Cringe: 800x600The game runs decently i agree, but there are parts where things slow and i loose a frame. I just found it weird considering the stats of my rig are about 4 times that of the xbox.|Drew|
WildKat Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 same with me, i have a 3ghz and ti4600 but still it seems to run jerkyi ran unreal2 at high res and antialising without jerks so this must be a very bad portwait for unreal tournament 2004, its like halo with the vehicles etc. check this out..7mb video download
Snoop Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 http://www2.mythica.org/halo/old/halo_nvid...idia_promo.mpeglol just saw this on another forum and thought it was funny
Ghost Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 poor poor ppl. You have outstanding machines, some 3 times mine and I can run halo very well without a jerk I can get it upto 1024x768 but the graphics card speed just cant cut it to well. i could bump up the speed, but im to lazy. My machin is 133x9 unlocked duron 256ddr2100 40gighdd and geforce 2 mx 400 @200mhz. Could take it up to 220 and the cpu can go up to 1286mhz befor it becomes unstable. but it offers nothing more then @ 1200 but enough of my life story. PIONT AND BRAG. Sorry don't get to do that often
FthrJACK Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 it runs fine on my pc.but the game just sucks, sorry it does. Heres why:The AI: its bugged up, NPC say they are going to do one thing, eg, stay and wait for you. Then they run off and get themselves killed.The physics: it is like running around under water. you move sloooowly, turn slooooowly, hell even the jeep moves slooooowly. like your underwater or something. Dont give me the Low Grav excuse.. it doesent work, the gravity is the same onboard ship, on the halo, or where ever you are. it shouldnt feel like your under water, its awfull.As for good bits... the story line, the story is great, thats all thats kept me playing the game. CHROME is a far superior product, and is a very similar game to HALO, but its much beter.www.chromethegame.com
Snoop Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 i tried chrome and thought it was boring after a few level's ,i got as far as the mission where you have to disable the sam site's and get inside the space station to steal some data (a code for some encrypted data i belive)
Carmon Posted October 20, 2003 Posted October 20, 2003 But besides all the dis is it a Good Game ovall?
