Slaughter Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 "Suffer heretic!" *Tortures knight_of_the_ravens in the most horrible ways imaginable* "That should teach you" I don't touch consoles with the exception of Nintendo, but I am sure there's a few here who does. I wasn't impressed with Halo singleplayer when I tried the trial for PC, but I'm sure the multiplayer is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R. Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 We play Halo2 at work, but we in Czech Republic have problems with connections to XBOX live. The nearest server is in Germany, so we don't play online. I wish to :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Bob Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 X-BOX live is insanely expensive. I'll wait for the PC version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zager Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Not until they release it on PC LIKE THE SERIES WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN RELEASED ON FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R. Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 It was supposed to be on Mac IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zager Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 No, PC. Halo was originally conceived and designed for the PC, until Microsoft bought the company and made them make it for the X-Box first, no doubt by kidnapping and threatening their wives and children, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hey Zager, happy new year. I have to disagree, IIRC, the original Halo demo was shown at MacWorld 2000, on a Mac. Bungie were Mac developers at the time before being recruited by Microsoft for the XBOX. Then it came out for the XBOX as a launch title, and a year later (or so) third-party developers had converted it to the PC and BACK to the Mac. It's a sore point for Mac-lovers. The demo wasn't originally an FPS, though, so it's changed a lot too. I'd be a Halo 2 Live Gamer if I had Broadband. Sorry. But if anyone drops by we can have a split-screen game.

Bungie were Mac developers at the time before being recruited by Microsoft for the XBOX. I don't know what you're talking about. I remember watching that original trailer all those years ago, and everything I saw in PC Gamer that the trailer came with said it was going to be for the PC. The demo wasn't originally an FPS, though, so it's changed a lot too. How could you tell that from the trailer? It was just an long movie using the game engine?

Bomb Bloke Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Bungie made the Marathon games. I believe only the second of those saw light on the PC; the other two of the three games were Mac only. They also made Oni, and released it while Halo was still being hyped.

Kernel Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I still have the behind the scenes movie of Halo with developer comentators. It started off as a strategy game similar to C&C but then quickly turned into a FPS. I would post a link to the movie but it's about 92Mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JellyfishGreen Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 I'm all about compromise, normally, but I did a search to support my rambling incoherent statements this time, as I'm a Bungie fan - Google on halo + blam + rts So OK, it was a joint development. The Mac got the first public demo, which I remembered, but I didn't know a PC release was on the original books (ONI also got a joint release, so an oversight on my part). And it was an RTS idea at first. PS. didja notice wieldable plasma swords and even the Shadow tank are lamented in this article and are back in Halo 2! Oh, and Halo wildlife, if only of the avian variety. JFG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R. Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Please Kernel post the link, I would like to see it. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernel Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Well if you have a login for one of the major game sites like Gamespot or Fileshack then you can get it from there. Google for "Halo evolution movie". If not then you can get it from my server here: ftp://ftp.os.101main.com/halo1.zipIt's about 91Mb though and it'll be slow because I only have a 256kbs upload rate. I've also limited my ftp server to 2 connections at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevan Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have been thinking about getting a box just for that reason. HALO 2 online, and fable but they are the only 2 games that strike my fancy. Sorry people. PS2 fan here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
