XBOX version mulitplayer

[Kristafon]

I searched and cant see this being discussed anywhere else.
First of all there will be an XBOX version, if you dont belive me look at this link here-

Well, if CS:S is HL2's multiplayer-
What will the XBOX get?
Theries-

XBOX will get HL2 with a cheap deathmatch and CS:S will be sold spereatley as a sequal to the XBOX version of CS1.6.

XBOX will get HL2 with a co-op multiplayer (like Doom3), CS:S sold seperatley.

XBOX gets nothing and is completley single player.

XBOX gets HL2 and CS:S in one purchase (i have a feeling this is unlikely)

I dont think we really even know if its going to on Xbox. I heard that as a rumor like a year ago. I might be wrong but i dont we have hard evadence etheir way.

Option 3 or 4 most likely. I guess 3 since CS is already on the xbox.

In a very recent thread, the gamespot interview maybe Doug said there would be no official Deathmatch OR Co-op. I would assume that applies to xbox as well because if they were going to make DM or Co-op for xbox they might as well make it for PC as well.

Did you even look at the mag scan? HL2 was WORKING on on XBOX's months ago. Not going ahead with the xbox version when evrything is working fine and they have been working hard on the port. They could make thousands, why give up the chance.
The ps2 version, that is the untrue rumour started by dissapointed ps2 freaks. Ps3 though is looking good! (but not certain)
Valve have confirmed the xbox version on interviews. There WILL be a port, or ill eat my hat.

I cant say FOR SURE, but i do work at gamecrazy and we only sell console games, but we have a hl2 case that had xbox and the hl2 cover, it was just a display case, but we can also take preorders for it. I mean if it ended up for sure not being a xbox title then those that reserved it get thier money back, but we ARE taking preorders for the xbox hl2.

Another hat eater
I severely doubt wherether there will be a coop.
A decent coop could not even be included in HL1, let alone HL2 with all its advanced AI and dynamic stuff

OK let me get this striaght-
HL2 having a co-op has nothing to do with me eating my hat! I will not eat my hat if there is no co-op!

Just incase there was confusion

Only from the magasine, and i think those are all pc screens anyway. In may HL2 was working on a high setting according to the article, though by now that may have changed with the graphics being up dated. I wouldnt be suprised if it will run on med settings + low resoultion you get on tv's + a short rendering distance.

Ahaaaa....a hl2 port to the xbox what a joke...

a) it will be funny.....
b) people will think they are good....even though they're using auto-aim
c) graphics will be funny.....load times jerky......physics and ai.....ahahaahah.....xbox you rock my world!!

a) if u say so
b) only games which are 3rd person and dont have the main emphasis on shooting have auto-aim, it may have lock on, true, but we dont know this yet.
c) graphics will be as good as on a mid range pc. Once again consoles are not the same as pc's.
-Consoles dont have to have any background os and no spyware clogging stuff up
-Tv's are very lo-res, which also means low rendering distance
-Ports are done for one pecific machine, the pc version is done for all pc's basically. Only doing it for one set of hardware means the hardware can be used to its full ability.
-The XBOX has a hard drive thats proably not much worse than the one in you computer now, unless you have RAID or a 10000rpm drive.
-The people who are porting will be able to use the XBOX's hardware to the full extent to support the physics
-AI isnt very processor intensive, it is more reliant on the scripting, which unfortuantely dosent look amazing for hl2.

PC does not equal CONSOLE

Why is everyone going on about the bad AI in HL2? They take cover, they flank, they work together...Wtf are your problems? You just have this need to find SOMETHING to complain about even though the game isn't even out yet. You all act like you know how the AI is, even though it was clearly stated in the E3 2k4 demo that the AI WAS dumbed down for that video, so the player could do some crazy things and not be killed, to show off physics, and the sort. The AI IS good, there has been no indication that it isn't, and not a single time in any review have they said that the HL2 AI is bad. So please, lay off, and enjoy something for once.

The reviewrs have said the AI isnt excellent. Im not judging from videos. Dont get me wrong, the AI is supposed to be good but unfortunately there are some small glitches and it isnt as good as hl1's AI. Thats whats has been said so far.
