<div class="IPBDescription">anyone played the FINAL version yet?</div> Well Halo for PC came out today and gearbox has already released a patch, so please base your experiences on the FULL RETAIL PATCHED version. It was a great Xbox game and I definately plan on getting it this weekend but I would like to hear how some fellow NS players like it <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo-->

No bugs as of yet.

Warthog CTF hooooooooooooooooooo
FRAG YOU MAN.
Simmons: Hey.
Griff: Yeah?
Simmons: You ever wonder why we're here?
Griff: No, I never ever wonder why we're here. Semper Fi b!tch
The physics are sooooooooooooo fun to play around with.
*sticks grenade on warthog wheel as it goes past*
*watchs it do a back flip and land perfectly*
=D
Gonna get the game very soon (this week), have some spare cash now that Half Life 2 isn't out. Although thats not necessarily a bad thing, now I can get Halo. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Not really, I just envy you...
but I get to play around with it alll next week, cuz I have October Break and noooooooooo work.
Max Payne 2 in 15 days or so though... mmm...
Personally, from everything I've heard and what I've seen now, Halo can be summed up as simply an awful port of an average console FPS.
Incidently, how is it performing for you guys? A lot of people I've heard have said the performance is utterly disasterous?
Halo...average FPS? No no no. Halo didn't let you carry around an armory (which Mr. Freeman did). Halo actually had teamwork, Halo had multiple difficulty levels, Halo had co-op! and a boxed canyon in the middle of nowhere.
***Cough***X-Box only***Cough***
The multiplayer however is AMAZING I can't say I've foun anything more fun than CTF on Bloodgulch with Warthogs <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> When you're not having fun dirt track racing around the enemy its just a great feeling to have two of your friends climb in with you as you speed off over the dunes towards the enemy base with murder and theft on your mind... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
just open your savegame files with notepad, and this is what you see(in numbers of course)
<!--c1--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->X, Y, V| X = level, starts at "0", Y is always "0" from what i've seen.
day, month, year
Hour, Minute, Second
<!--c2--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->change X to the level number you want to play - and just load it.

Thanks! I can't exactly remember what level I'm at, though, so this will take a bit. Thanks again!
<b>Fireball:</b>
Regular oddball match.
Hold the ball for 5 minutes
Players without the ball are invisible
Players with the ball become visible
1 of each type of Vehicle, save for Scorpian Tanks and Gun Turrets
No hud, save for a waypoint to the skull
Rocket Launchers only
Much fun to be had with 6 people >_<
Matches last like an hour, because ball timing doesn't work when your in a vehicles @_0

My exact impressions on the singleplayer portion.
Haven't tried MP yet.
I was really disappointed with the singleplayer. People treated Halo XBox like it was godly. I guess it's because consoles so rarely get a half decent FPS, and us PC Gamers are used to great ones, but Halo hasn't impressed me all too much.

wheres the great game with lots of vehicles, dynamic storyline,and almost unlimited freedom they promised us years ago?
you realise how long ago halo COULD HAVE come out for PC? it is just far to outdated to even make a smudge in the gaming industry.
Come on guys...it's Halo...It's the Master Chief, it's that b!tch Cortana (who still hasn't told me the answer to 11 Down), it's Marines, it's Humans actually getting their arses whooped.
<b>Programmer 01452:</b> "excuse me sir but the co-op is causing us some severe problems, do you think we should fix it?"
<b>Evil Overlord:</b> "nah, just take it out... those PC chumps haven't had a proper coop game in years; they'll never notice"
a few days later...
<b>PC Gamer 1:</b> "I don't see why there was such a big fuss about this game"
<b>Fanperson of Halo before MS bought out bungie:</b> "what the??? no coop? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
They fall to their knees screaming into the heavens. The camera rotates up so it's looking down at the wailing ex-fan and zooms out until you can see the earth floating lazily in space; the scream echoing off into the infinite vastness...
Onboard a giant spacecraft an ancient being of ineffifable wisdom slaps their head
<b>Kai'Lharatet:</b> "Damn those silly humans... they did it again"</i>
