[Chicane]

[snowblind]

Dunno wether to buy.
Is multiplayer any good?

[MaDmAx]

i enjoy it, aload of different types of server out there like, only rockets, human weapons ...etc speically the 16 player servers great fun.

I never played Halo on Xbox but I do like the PC version I can see why it was so big.

Not really played much of the single player yet, but I will when I get time.

Bought it yesterday,it could have been better i mean theyve had enough time working on it

BUT ! its nothing a few well worked out patches wont cure,theyve already released two patches but now that its been released in europe they should have alot more feed back on bugs/issues

Hope they fix it soon !

[Shadowhunta]

played it for a couple of days now and i must say that multiplyer is awesome...its very much like a cut down version of BF1942...albeit in the future...but i personally think its excellent!!!

i cant see where Gunsmith's 'its a crap fps with good ideas gone to waste' since Halo has set out like a shedload of FPS conventions that everyone seems to be copying these days...

infact, i think a huge chunk of Dredd Vs. Death was ripped from Halo (not least the blatent stuff like recharging armour and the 'only 2 weapons' idea)

Gunsmith, you aren't just playing 'gamer scourned' cos they only just released it on the PC despite being on a console for 2 year are you?

and my opinion...

the game rocks, plays pretty well on my box, has a good flow, wasn't too easy (played on normal), now all I need are the soundtrack CD and Halo 2... NOW

[Gunsmith]

played through it again this weekend but with the det 52's (hey i needed something to test em with)

and...i enjoyed it this time, i dunno why but its grown on me, havent tried it multiplayer yet but will be willing to run somone over in a wharthog :)

optimus if u get the soundtrack cd, lemmie rip it will ya? :D

[Optimus]

until someone manages to hack the game apart and with no official soundtrack release in sight (none of the Bungie releases on mp3.com are from Halo), it could be a long wait :(

speaking of hacking the game apart, wtf did they manage to do with the damn game...
i mean... 1.4GB of stuff cabbed onto a single CD... :eek:

it seems that all the files and game content is held within the map files, since thats the only directory that the game creates that breaks 1MB, let alone 1GB...

[Gunsmith]

your google skills are weak optimus :D

Same shadowhunter.

[Kharn]

halo multiplayer is very very sweet tbh

[Qdos]

Err i have a copy of the soundtrack from Halo sitting in my CD rack...... Amazon do it for £13.99!

(though if people ask me nicely, I will burn em copies)

[Wild_XIII]

Qdos, copy me one for i19 plz, if your going of course, anywayz, Halo multiplayer in some respects can be slower paced than many other FPS' ive played (UT series for instance) but theres nothing like gunning down people in jeeps and tanks. i thinks its a w1nn0r.

But all i have to say bout the gfx side is tht it seems picky about what gfx card u use, i use a Ge-Force FX 5200 128mb AGP 8x card and it runs like the poop on it, lob my MX460 in and its fine :S, but i just think its the extra graphical features my FX unlocks.

fcuking hell is tht the time :/
