They'd have to take out the Gamespy 1 parts of the Netcode wouldn't they?
[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;41184225] Unless they wanted to redo the netcode to be better instead of emulating system link like Gearbox did,[/QUOTE] holy shit that is hilarious
[QUOTE=Bloodshot12;41184225]Gearbox did a good job porting, so I'd imagine they'd use that. Unless they wanted to redo the netcode to be better instead of emulating system link like Gearbox did, but I [I]sincerely[/I] doubt they'd put the effort in to do that when you could just play halo 2 or 3 online instead.[/QUOTE] I thought they did a horrible job with porting. the game still plays under 30 fps (even with the 30 fps limiter and vsync turned off) and they removed a lot of graphical assets that made it look like shit compared to the xbox.
halo PC's extreme ping leading bothers me a lot the game doesn't extrapolate player positions either so you have to lead by the time of a round packet trip
[QUOTE=Wormy;41184769]It does support a higher framerate than 30 fps, it's just that the animations are restricted to 30 fps.[/QUOTE] there's that, too. though I think the animations were 30 fps on the xbox as well. there are still times when the game slows down significantly when there's many things going on, which I've never experienced on the xbox version
I didn't even have that great of a PC back when it came out, but Halo 1 ran perfectly fine for me.
If they rerelease Halo 1, they really need to patch up the PC port. I tried getting it to run on Vista in wide screen and it was a complete nightmare. You could hear the engine begging to be put out of its misery. I actually had to play it without Custom Edition because CE absolutely refused to run, even when using compatibility modes for various old OSes.
Please bring Halo 2. It's been so long since I've played my precious girlfriend.

[QUOTE=SuddenImpact;41180833]They should put powers like the crysis nanosuit has into the mjolnir powered armor.[/QUOTE] While they're changing the game entirely they should make it a word processor
[QUOTE=Swiket;41183469]If you've been to /v/ for any extended period of time, you'd know how often they get these bullshit "Hey I work at __________" claims. Not saying this story in particular is bullshit, but there isn't any reason not to doubt it.[/QUOTE] it's kind of surprising how many legit people there are though, indie or not. I don't trust that post yet, but I guess we have to wait and see.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;41186483]While they're changing the game entirely they should make it a word processor[/QUOTE] it should be a rhythm game with guest character Hatsune Miku
Halo 3 on PC would be enough to make me interested in Halo 3 at all. :v:
[QUOTE=Donman;41183698]tomb seems to be the default admin account for all games' store groups before access is given to developers (I remember him also being the admin of Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition and Shadow Warrior+). If he isn't a (public) admin of the Halo 3 group anymore, then it's likely that Halo 3 is closer to getting a store page than the other 2 games.[/QUOTE] It's not that tomb isn't admin of halo 3 group, it's just I can't see the members
I'm most definitely sure that this is going to happen. [QUOTE=343N;41187881]It's not that tomb isn't admin of halo 3 group, it's just I can't see the members[/QUOTE] TomB's second account is linked to every official steam group.

[QUOTE=Xubs;41181967]I love how everyone here is like "GFWL is still around, they'll probably put it on that." or "all the games with GFWL still on it are still screwed."

I honestly have no idea why I felt slightly miffed at Halo 3 when it came out, I don't know what it was, but I didn't like how it concluded the trilogy. I went back a year later and I loved the hell out of it, more than any other Halo game, well, maybe equal to Halo:CE on the PC. It's sad to see a series turn into... Halo 4. Like, made by people who claim "Oh we love and cherish everything Halo"... but somehow get everything wrong, the story was bad, the perk system was awful, the gunplay felt worse, the playlists were garbage. And the armour. My fucking GOD the armour is atrocious, and textured poorly as well.

But I fucking at how the changed the art style to be like some anime crap.
Proper ports of Halo 1-3 would be ok, but I'd like to see Reach and ODST as well. That said, I doubt it's going to happen, would be a nice surprise though.
I'm really happy with the direction Microsoft is going with their publishing. Microsoft is a great software developer, not particularly a good hardware one [outside of Xbox, of course]. I'll even go so far as to say that I don't [i]mind[/i] Steam games with GFWL, it just happens that Microsoft doesn't seem to care about any of those users anymore. I wanted to do something with my account and was told by Xbox support pages it was only possible on 360, but GFWL just had a button right inside it that did exactly what I needed.

I hope they fix that stupid V-Sync issue with H2V. Aiming always sucked if your FPS was [i]too[/i] good.

Isn't halo 2 on PC hard to get working/impossible on win 7?
Oh thank fuck. I was hoping to not have to purchase dodgy copies of Halo 1 and 2 from Amazon or Ebay. I would kill to have CE be one of those Steamworks supported mods as well, but I don't want halomaps.org to then be obsolete. Still though, how exciting! Very glad I finally upgraded my PC as well.
