    Halo: Most overrated and overhyped game ever.
    Halo 2: Only time will tell.

    Actually, the larger chunk of the PC gaming market is people old enough to build/buy their own. It ends up being cheaper in many ways than a console, too. Consider this: if you're a college student, you pretty much need a PC at home anyway. What you *don't* need is a TV. So what makes more sense: buying a TV AND a console system and trying to cram them both into your tiny room, or just gaming on the perfectly good machine that's taking up precious space in your tiny room already? With the addition of a $60 video card, your average PC is a better gaming system than that $200 XBox anyway.

    Not to add fuel to the fire of the PC/console debate, but I grow weary of the "consoles are cheaper and therefore decent PCs are for spoiled brats" statement because in many cases it's patently false on multiple levels.

I do not see how people can enjoy a game where all you do is run through the exact same room 1000 times. I'm sure Bungies original idea for Halo was great.

When it went Xbox, it lost that, so they needed a way to make the single player missions longer. Insted of actually reworking the maps they just had 3 guys sit down one night and Ctrl+c then Ctrl+V a couple hundred times for each map.
    I'm sure Gearboxes PC version will be great, but as of now I hate Halo. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    Yes, my friend, but have you ever had a HALO multiplayer party? Hooking up Xboxes and playing with 8+ people is incredibly fun, and <i>never</i> gets old.

    It's not all about the single-player, you know <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    To underscore my previous point: 8 people would never be able to fit in the room I lived in in college. Heck, they'd barely fit in my current spacious apartment. And I still don't own a TV. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo--> Durn rich folks and your luxury mansions...

    Xbox will soon have Halo 2. That'll put a smile back on his face XD

    Besides, Halo isn't that bad. IMHO, it's pretty good. It had a fantastic physics model (launching a Warthog from a cliff and landing upright after doing 3 flips is awesome <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->),an interesting story line (Aliens with a murderous, over-zealous religion is just too cool <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->), and great graphics (the light-bump mapping on the characters/vehicles/maps was fantastically done <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->). But that's just my opinion. Flame as you feel fit, you won't change it.

    The worst thing that could happen with HL2? Be cancelled and the whole project's scrapped.

    I still stand that my vision is a far worse fate than cancellation or being bought by another company.

    Eh worse than EA buying Valve? ID buys Valve and just changes the name of HL2 to doom3 and makes doom3 quake4

    Im sorry i just dont get it?

    Is it just ment to be funny because having sex with a man is bad? Hell make us his ****, well yes he will, but i asumed that was going to happen when we see how fantastic the game is when we are all playing it.

    Is there something subtle im missing? I was expecting the date to be changed to 2004 or something. I read the fine print but it all seems normal.

    heh, I was going to mention that the poster could of been made more horrifying changing the "3" into a 4 or 5.

    It has something to do with that Daikatana FPS that was released a long time ago. I wasn't caught up in it, so I don't get it either <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Diakitanna was pretty damn bad, but EA is still the king of crap in my eyes... why did they even bother to put in a "single player" mode into CC generals (may westwoods memory rest in peace)

    Actually we did it with a max of four people to a room. We played a 6 on 6 over the campus network. It was absolute ownage. I will never get over the frustration of having to use a joystick rather than a keyboard and mouse though. It's like doing surgery with a chainsaw. It really is an incredibly fun thing though. It's an experience that you can't match on a PC unless you can set up a lan, and even then you aren't as close to the people you are fragging. You can't elbow them in the ribs etc. and even when you are in the same room on PCs it seems more impersonal. Do you think goldeneye would have been nearly as popular for multiplayer on pc? You've got to be able to throw your controller around, you've got to be sitting in couches, you've got to be able to glance at the hilariously determined faces of the people around you, you've got to be able to raise your fists in exultation and accidentaly conk the guy next to you in the side of the head.

    Actually, none of us had room for couches, but our RA was an absolute halo fiend and had PLENTY of room for couches in his room. He was using a spare bed as a shelf for his huge tv had the space for half of it to go unused.

    Halo lasts two seconds before we all get bored and play Madden NFL 2003.

    You even fired a Barrett .50 before? It's almost required of you to be prone in order to combat the weight and recoil of that beast.

    ive never fired one, the LA city council in their great wisdom made the weapon illigal to cut down on drive by shootings (im not joking here)

    but <a href='http://www.securityarms.com/20010315/galleryfiles/1100/1137.htm' target='_blank'>clicky</a>

    and not only that but it was confirmed by e-mail (and i hate myself for deleting it) by an instructor for the national guard, he said the m82a2 can be "shoulder fired" at the expense of speed (meaning it would take you longer to recover and reset on the mark)

    Good luck doing a drive by with a SNIPER RIFLE.

    IN any case, something that can rip through the engine block of some cars probably shouldn't be on the market anyway. IMO.

    dont you live in europe Leg? ( i could be wrong)

    I understand that a .50 cant exactly be used for hunting, or any other justifiable reason, but I dont like soemone else telling me what I can and can not own.

    for instance whats wrong with the PSG1? <a href='http://www.hecklerkoch-usa.com/pages/military/sa_psg1.html' target='_blank'>Clicky</a> or the MSG90 <a href='http://www.hecklerkoch-usa.com/pages/military/sa_msg90.html' target='_blank'>clicky</a> or even the sl8-1 <a href='http://www.hecklerkoch-usa.com/pages/civilian/sl8_2.html' target='_blank'>clicky</a> all are deemed illigal in California. Why? they happen to be the best target rifles you can own, so why dont I have legal access to them? ::grumbles::
