Halo Online is a free-to-play FPS exclusive to PC and Russia

[QUOTE=Darkomni;47396178]If I recall correctly, the original xbox had a lot of proprietary shit that makes emulating it a daunting task considering it was actually kind of powerful - whereas the 360 is a lot closer to your standard PC in terms of software AND hardware, making emulation significantly less difficult.. though obviously, still challenging, seeing as how the emulators that DO exist still aren't very developed.
Correct me if I'm wrong, please, if anyone else is more knowledgeable about this.[/QUOTE]
The original Xbox was an off-the-shelf Celeron, a custom northbridge/GPU using the same architecture as the GeForce 4 series, and a stock storage subsystem. The software is on an NT kernel, with many important APIs shared with Windows.
There is very little difficulty in emulating it, which is in fact the problem. The emulation core of any emulator is usually developed by a very advanced programmer looking for a challenge. The Xbox Classic offers none of that. However, emulation itself is a rather arcane bit of programming lore, so it's not something anyone can just up and do.
That's probably why there are only four Xbox emulators out.
[QUOTE=AJ10017;47396205]XBOX 360 has a PowerPC cpu. emulating a PowerPC processor on a modern day computer, let alone a computer 10 years from now will be significantly difficult[/QUOTE]
[url=http://www.noxa.org/blog/2011/02/23/building-an-xbox-360-emulator-part-1-feasibilitycpu/]I'll let someone smarter than I answer that in depth[/url]. Short version: you need to know what you're doing to write a fast Xb360 emulator, but it's possible. Note: the guy in question is working on an emulator.
PowerPC emulation is easy. There are dozens of PowerPC emulators. I've used three of them at various times. Problem is, if you have enough money you can get a PowerPC chip made with whatever extra bits or changes you want, and game consoles did just that. So the PowerPC emulator in a Gamecube emulator won't work for emulating the PS3, or the Xb360, or the PowerMac, or even the Wii U (it will work for a Wii emulator, though - those systems are almost identical from an emulation perspective).
[QUOTE=mon_ons;47395146]but people in other places are whiny children when it comes to microtransactions whereas russians generally dont give a shit[/QUOTE]
The whole 'whiny children' thing implies that many people's gripes with microtransactions aren't completely justified.
The whole RU only thing won't last. Saber Interactive is based out of Russia, and there was WAYYYYY too much English all over the menus and gameplay for this to stay RU only.
Well I think I applied for its closed alpha/beta.

Why. Why does Microsoft taunt us so?
[QUOTE=RichyZ;47397828]im almost sure the only reason why barely anyone is developing a xbox/360 emulator is because they both didn't have the best exclusives of their respective generations[/QUOTE]
They could charge a buck to get access to emulators for just the halo games and be millionaires tbh

That's actually a very common misconception, as an xbox emulator developer can explain

Holy fuck why did you feel the need to post in a multi-month old thread to say that
His hompage is set to Halomaps, so hes probably just butt hurt over it. One of them Halo Custom Edition purists probably.

Most certainly. You wouldn't believe how many people are so upset over ElDorito being a thing. There have been many people who have joined the ElDorito IRC channel just to shitpost about how Halo CE is better. That's not to say people from ElDorito IRC haven't joined HMF or HaloMaps to do the exact same thing, but I don't know why everyone can't just get along.

>damage on irc
If you mean damage to yourself then yeah that's definitely what happened. You'll just be banned wherever you go. I'd expect that much from someone using the Safari browser.

[editline]28th November 2015[/editline]

The guys over at Halo CE did an excellent job, not only did they remake the game, they ported the horrible 12 year old community along with it!

I missed this. It really feels like back when gamefaqs invaded so they could get free shit from microsoft
holy fucking shit this is great
[editline]28th November 2015[/editline]
Also, the halo 3 engine genuinely is better. You're just upset about change.

You've actually gotten to the point where I actually have to consciously think about what the fuck you're trying to say because your English is so broken.
Maybe work on that instead of trying to, and miserably failing to, tear down a community trying to have an updated Halo game on PC?
[editline]a[/editline]
And by that I mean you're once person against a community, movements need supporters.
Which, you don't really have.

And it still took years to have even basic Forge in Halo CE. It took something like a few weeks to have it in El Dewrito.

I honestly doubt it. Halomaps is a site dedicated to Halo, Facepunch has a [I]fuckload[/I] of purposes.
Why would anyone invade here? Hell, we don't even have a Halo subforum, the Halo discussion area is one megathread.
Wtf are u talking about? Of course forge can go into crappy H3 engine becuz forge was in that game in a first dawg, and geuss wat we actually got fucking forge in halo custom edition just that i t needs damn improvements. Look here.
[url]http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=48452&start=176[/url]
See? So never fuckin say halo ce engine is weaker than H3 engine becuz we got moddin kit unlike halo online.
dont blame us! halomaps community didnt DO nothin wrong and eldorito like no1dead,dany,personality, and many devs kept spamming and invading on our website and they fuckin claim halomaps forum is halo online which is why i fuked up irc chat. Wats next are they goin to fucking take over facepunch and make dis community bunch of halo eldorito? Fuck no i hope dat shit wont happen. Trust me bro i hope these moderator dont make a sub board on facepunch for halo online otherwise it will get fuckin worse... i rather havw halo custom edition sub board on facepunch becuz u can do more serious moddin and stuff. if i do ever catch facepunch teaming up with eldorito faggotz i am ganna be pissed.
Halo Online+Eldorito is okay in my book, since we haven't gotten any Halo releases on PC since 2.
Dude wtf are you sayin! Halo online eldorito should not fukin exist bruh, the game is shit an microsoft should hav fuck take it down!
i dont fuckin understand why theyy are not focusin on halo custom edition where u can easily mod! Instead of halo online eldorito.
Plz dont fukin tell me facepunch will put a stupid sub board for halo online eldorito......i will be fuckkn pissed.
Its a real shame I can't play both
wait...
Saxon u could play halo ce and mode it. u dont need halo online eldorito to mode becuz that shitty game u cant create maps and no company supportin dat game.
At least support halo custom edition by giving us new update servers. U rememberd?
[QUOTE=RichyZ;49206859]garry just approved it, i'm going to implement the eldorito subforum, sorry pal the people have spoken[/QUOTE] i like to see u try so i can fuckin invade dis site and i promies u, i fucked up halo online eldorito irc chat bro. I dare u to put that sub board here so i can fuckin invade facepunch and halo online eldorito... come on.
Am tryin so hard to stay nice with facepunch but lookz like these facepunch lickin halo online eldorito ass. why u guys are teamin up with eldorito? Why? They did so much damaged on our halomaps.org forum by spammin and postin beheaded pictures.

Halo CE has been released many years ago, and Bungie no longer works for Microsoft.
