Halo for PC

[Colb]

Halo PC.....never played on console.

I have been playing the demo for a few weeks now and came to the conclusion:

-Movement sucks.......didn't take a week to notice this
-Major connection problems, hard to find decent server

-Jeeps with guns rock in team matches
-I love the single player mode
-Flame thrower owns!

So yea, that's my conclusion. I noticed being good at this game involves NO movement skills. It is almost a joke trying to strafe left to right....not to mention dodge.

But single player is good, IMO. Reminded me of the single player mission in Unreal where you break out of the alian jail cell.(what was it called?)

My only problem in single player is the bots. What would be cool would be to play single player with 3 people at same time.

Now, to see how vehicles can be used in a good fps game WITH good player movement.....i can't wait for UT2004

What are yall thoughts about this?

yeah, movement is a problem. Comming from mainly playing UT2k3, this is relatively slow in MP and you can't evade, like you said. This was definately not made to be an MP game.

game ok. Finish the pc already. not being to move fast makes equal for all players. Though when you play Levels higher than Normal, its best to evade the enemy. Let them fight among themselves. Then there is the melee button. Safe ammo :0 does not alert the other enemies. The game sometimes is a bit shocking/scary at some places. There is also some places where the enemis keep respawning. RUN.

Movement= Lets just say master chief is moving as fast as he can look at that suit he is wearing.

IMO- I would get the second game as well after finishing this one.

What about that level when you have to jump out of the ship into the coolant. Did anybody try and stay there and fight off the flood instead of jumping.

[mystvearn]

Is this the last stage or what?Jump off a ship?

this might seem like a dumb question, but i noticed a utp port on my roommates xbox, can i use it to mp over lan????

I thought Halo was much fun- even funner as you move the difficulty level up. Great game, very poor coding however. MP is almost unplayable because of the poor code. The console game had a cooperative mode- why didn't they include this in the PC version?

[FantasySoul]

I got a lot of exceptions.... however a clean installation of windowsXP runs the game just fine.I don't know what is the cause.Maybe its because my old XP got a lot of crap..

I have only been playing the demo.
I s the full version out yet? And is it good?

[Prew]

Full version is out and is fairly long. It is very good, however, as other threads have pointed out, you need a fast machine to play it at 1028 resolution, and AA really slows it down. Microsoft did a poor job of porting this console game to PC - as you already know from how bad the MP is.
