I am realy dissapointed !!
Posted By: Thorn <thorn@buckyland.com>Date: 11/21/01 6:30 a.m.

First off, I don't have a xbox, and I am not going to buy one.
I have seen halo in a store and played it a bit, and all my worst fears about the porting onto xbox has proven true.
-This ichi wichti darn little joynubbles are worth shttt to aim. Instead of aiming you run from side to side to get some shots onto your enemy, thus going out of cover.
-The graphics are ok, but that is it. It looks like goldeneye on N-64 or Turok.
Even Halflife looks better if the level designer had a good day. And everytime I was in the menu, I did though about where the resolution is fixed.
+This darn Interleaced format, wtf is that for s shit, every vertical deail is a stairway to heaven and all the horizontal details are smooth out.
-What about steering the darn warthog, this thingy slides around like shit. You have by no means ANY grip on the ground. I mean, it's not ice we are driving on, its rock or grass.
+If you are in small places with the warthog, and the camera collides with a wall, it starts roating around the warthog, thus setting the steering orientation everytime it passes 180 degree and making the warthog nearly unsteerable.
+wtf am I steering at all. Whatever it is, it's not the wheels, because they do what they want. I have on no joynubble on this darn pad any real controll over the wheels. Have you ever tried to drive a car by pointing the finger of your driving blind friend into the right direction, normaly sucidie command!!!
-Outdoor levels, what outdoor levels? I have seen em on screenshots, but they seem to have vanished. You are always at the floor of valeys. Between hills, between buildings. NOWHERE is the slightest outdoor level. those are all clssical hand designed levels, as a halflife had em. Nowhere you stand in front an enormous landscape and you have the "boah" effect. Always you have a rock, a hill a sea or anything else blocking you from going to far away.
+The figher is only flown in complete indoor areas. What is this thing, a building drone. I have read that it is THE ground atack figher in Halo, but it seems that everybody else can fly it to wherever he wants to, but not you.
-Jeese, this nanoguy can kick a jeep, and the jeep flys trough the air. For what do I have a weapon then. And why is this nanodude only jumping 20cm high.
+He jumps, but seems to stay a bit at the highest pos, so everybody can shoot this jumping duck.
-Wtf, If I launch a rocket 2m away from me in the ground, I am still alive but the enemy tank not???

So, as far as this the critics. Now some prohecys.
-Halo wont come to pc.
-If it does it anyway, it will be shit Reason:
From where should they stomp out a ready pc engine now?
The stopped developing the pc engine two years ago, when they realized that the pc engine where incompatilbe with the xbox engine.
-Even if they get the carve with the engine, the whole story and content is nothing a pc gamer will be satisfied with.
-Even if they get the carve with the story and the content, there is still some lack of empty promises they made, and everybody will be dissapionted when these features miss.
-Even if they manage to get some of the realy good features back in the game, they have to develop new netcode after the game is finished. This is nearly impossilbe, and will end up like flashpoint.
-Even if they manage to get all this more or less right, then the games needs a ton of polishing till it can get on pc, or it will end up like tribes2.

As a guess I think for all that they need another 2 years.
Because they do not have this time, they will do a 1:1 port, or nothing. That's it. 1:1 port is shit, and will disapoint mostly everybody, developers and gamers. And not is also shit. So Halo is screwed anyway.
