Yes FPS games are much better played on a console with a controller, an FPS with a mouse? What a pain!

It's no surprise that Microsoft does that. They did something similar to AOE3. You can't install it on win2k.

Something similar also happened to some MP3 players. They require you to have Windows Media Player 10 to use them but you can't install WMP10 on windows2k or linux. iRiver lost a sale to someone I know because of that. It's not a smart marketing choice. You won't upgrade to WindowsXP only to use an MP3 player.

lmao pwned

I'm sure most people wouldn't care, H2 already has xbox live so I don't see many people getting the Windows Crapsta version.

the big Firefly · Feb 24, 2006, 09:54 AM

what another windows upgrade?? is this upgrade better then XP PRO SP2 "32bit".

The_Neon_Cowboy · Feb 24, 2006, 11:39 AM

Short and sweete: Halo is made by microsoft are you really that supprised???
and they would be pimping thier new OS...

Snickers · Feb 24, 2006, 01:29 PM

Halo's by Bungie not M$

I'm not "supprised" seeing as how M$ is the publisher. Of course they would put it on Windows. It wouldn't sell if it was on Vista only. Bad move? Maybe. Pimp their OS? It would to a point. Seeing as how alot of people have the xbox version which already has online.

Do you always make your own sarcastic conclussions or your dog makes it

Of course with the mouse a FPS in the PC world is better but that's not what i meant
These game series is a "XBOX to PC transfer" and the game engine is crap (for the PC)

If you do not understand just do not answer at all......some people

g35x · Feb 24, 2006, 02:50 PM

yeah srry BWX.....i live in a neighborhood of xbox noobs who say crap like that and mean it

@alien1
halo 1 for the pc was an okay game............

I know, I am such a horrible person.. I can't help it. The devil made me do it.

MiDri · Feb 25, 2006, 06:38 PM

Halo 1 for pc was horribly converted... Took way more power then necisary to run that stuff on high settings.

g35x · Feb 27, 2006, 03:17 PM
