Halo PC gone gold (Come on Valve)

Multiplayer gets boring on public servers - it can be very enjoyable and rewarding experience in clans tho, and far from boring.

Doesn't it worry you that the 'good' single player games that have been mentioned so far are all very old?? HL, Deus Ex, Grim Fandango and System Shock 2 ......... good single player pc games are very few and far between :(
 
Man, you guys are crazy biased. Halo is awesome, but I wont buy it, I'll be too busy with Half Life. I'm sure if I had money out my ass I'd buy it though. I mean c'mon, it's got some DX9 features...
 
Anybody played through 'Chaser' here? pretty solid FPS and very very long.

i love the multiplayer, simple,fast and unspoilt so far. Not enough maps though.

I SAY BUY 'CHASER' TO FILL YOUR HOURS BEFORE HL2.

Two of us agree. By the way ignore the demo, it sucks.

Heh, funny you should say that. Reminds me of why I own a PS2 and a GBA. Most console games are just awful, unoriginal and show absolutely no innovation.
I guess we can conclude that pc's and consoles revel themselves in trite forgettable games, with the few occassional must-have games.

I'm not a console fan boy - or biased towards a certain platform - it's just the way it is.

GFX don't result in a enjoyable gaming experience alone (and in multiplay are almost redundant) It's about gameplay at the end of the day.

Can't wait for HL2 tho - 'pc in good game shocker' :)

Me neither. And I have a pc to play such marvels as SimCity 4, Half-Life, Thief series, Gothic 2, Baldur's Gate II, SU-2 and various MMORPGS. And I have my PS2 to play GTA VC. And my GBA to play Yoshi. Etc.
 
Rare should release perfect dark as a free pc download. That would be cool.

I didn't think the demo was all that bad.

Should I get Unreal 2 or Chaser before Hl2?

unreal2 is shocking, a real disappointment. Looks nice but boring, chaser great atmosphere.
 
I only played the Chaser demo..... It sucked utter ass. What is better about the full version?

they're the worse gameplay levels in it. There just in the demo to show off the engine. You have to admit that the demo looked nice. As a game it gets better and better

Name some - that don't include Halflife :)

Halo on the XBox is the best single player FPS i've played since Halflife and Golden Eye :)

I've been playing the beta for a week or so now, and love the multiplay to bits. It's like BF1942 but with good fighting.

Gonna be a good clan game me thinks.
Click to expand...

I'm not going to read the 4 pages here cause I don't have time for that but I'll name a few:

Hexen
Hexen 2
Doom
Doom 2
Quake
Quake 2
Quake 3
The Third Reich
Unreal Tournament
Soldier of Fortune 2
Soldier of Fortune
Unreal Tournament 2003
Rainbow Six
Rainbow Six spin-offs
Battlefield 1942
BF: Eve of Destruction
BF: Desert Combat
No one Lives forever
No one lives forever 2
Deus Ex

..

If I think some more I'm sure I can find lots.

Good console shooters: GoldenEye, Perfect Dark and maybe (it's not too good) TimeSplitters 2. Halo is nice but we've already played it.
I never mentioned it's a crappy game..
 
Apart from the old games (rose tinted glasses are great :D ) there arn't any good single player shooters in that list, plenty of not bad ones (I found SOF and NOLF series to be completely dire :( )

I'm tempted by Chaser - didn't mind the multiplayer demo (the pistol was excellent :) )

I have played a game with the scale of Chaser, even HL doesn't have the scale of chaser. by scale i mean grandur and size. Its epic and when you've finished it, you'll know what i mean.

People please speak up if you've played it, needs more recommendations
 
the game was supposed to come out for pc first before bungie sold out to microsoft and made it xbox only. so they can kiss my ass. i ain't gettting it.

i know i won't put a dent in microsoft's or bungie's annual sales figure, but i ain't buying it.
 
Is Bungie a publicly traded company?
If so the actual employees likely didnt have much say in it.

Yeah if I ever want to get it I'll just steal it.

But I think I'm going to get me this Chaser game, it looks solid, and the GAmespot review (although only an 8.0) Said nothing but good things about the gameplay and graphics.

actually the games was supposed to come out on the Mac first before being bought by microsoft. Apple used it and Doom3 to show off there G4s with Radeon 9700's
 
I don't think anybody's going to care much, but...
I'm making a multiplayer Halo mod called Warthog Run. I'm making it with one other person, and so far we have a webpage that tells you how to play it on Xbox (http://www.warthog-run.cjb.net).

I've preordered Halo and HL2, since the former is a f***in great game and the latter is going to be a f***in great game. And I'm making a mod for each of them, so I kind of have to have the games.
 
I havent touched the Xbox Version cos I been waiting for the PC Version. Dont even know the story, bar the flood gets involved somewhere. THE FIRST PERSON TO SAY ANYTHING DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bastards the lot of ya.

watch out for the flying ones!!!
 
I heard that gearbox (they did the conversion) joked about making the Library level even longer as a bonus to the PC Version. Now that would really suck!!!
 
Yeah, they did. At least they are aware of Halo's faults.

Good game, come back and tell people if you like it. Needs more support. Some of the levels look and feel like Halflife and even HL2 dare I say it (from what i've seen).
 
But it does have a boring story that involves Mars. Haven't played it though so I can't say something :).

the stories pretty good, best for awhile, at least it has one. I agree stories with mars in have been done to death but its just a location not really a mojor story point. The levels there are fantasic though, great graphics and lighting. The assault level is staggering, it put MOH to shame.
 
Halo multiplayer on PC is pretty funny. You can do some real bad ass jumping with the vehicles.
 
I like jumping the buggies. THose things are awesome. When my and my pal used to play cooperatively on XBOX, he would be the gunner, and I would drive off ledges and jump out in my air, hystarical. lol

It's stupid. Who wants to play a 2 year old console shooter when the PC is THE place to be for quality shooters.. did you see the textures?

It's just horrible, and it has console style gameplay.

Cortana:ALERT! Valve forces inbound! Time to get out your Rifles boys!


Gordon: COMBINES! LOTS OF THEM!



That's what happen on 30th. A war between 2 games
 
i thought halo was gonna be cool....however many years ago i heard about it being made for pc...then microsoft ruined it.

sure... a war will be fought by two games...one hugely anticipated one that has a gigantic loyal fanbase that can't wait for it to come out...

and another game...an average console game being ported to the PC a year too late for anyone to care...


halo's already been checked out by everyone that cares...and they either love it as a console game and don't want to buy it for PC if they already did for xbox...or they're PC owners that have played halo on xbox and decided it's not worth buying...ESPECIALLY on the same day hl2 is coming out.
 
im going to laugh in the xbox bitches face when halo is 5 times better on pc....
 
I loved Halo on the XBox, and will love it on the pc (from playing the beta it seems that single player is better on the XBox - where as pc is the daddy for multiplayer :))
