Well someone leaked the halo PC beta...I think it was a while ago...anyway it should be oficially released soon! The best part is you can make your own multiplayer levels! Well it wont be drag and drop I think you have to use a special program (3dstudio max?) anyway single player is the same but multiplayer includes the shadow "alien tank" a "new" undisclosed vheicle and you can fly banshees in MP as well. There is a flame thrower, alien grenade launcher type gun too. There are also 2 new levels built into multiplayer plus you can manipulate spawn times and vheicles. So if you want the red team to have 2 tanks and blue a banshee and 4 ghosts then you can ;)

I have the beta but cant play yet due to some computer problems. Has anyone played it yet?
 
Ok I fixed my computer and it's great! There are 4 new multiplayer levels in the beta and you also get a "rocket warthog" and those alien turrets in the MP levels! I'm running it at 2048x1536 resolution too ;)

Click to expand...

Dare I ask what videocard you are running to even get a decent framerate at the resolution? Better yet, your entire specs?
 
Oh no I'm Poor! My neighbor works in the computer industry and knows how to build a screaming PC with all the high end parts for very little money. You have to know the right people ;)
 
Damnit. Some people have all the luck. I wish some of that damn luck would come my way for once in my life.
 
yeah the beta leaked long ago on bittorrent sites, and it wasn't great. But now the real thing is out, and it still isn't that great. Its very very bland with a minimal amount of possible players, not to mention the $ needed for the hardware to play it. I mean a 9700 will only run it at 25FPS in a heated battle, while ny NTSC tv will do it at 30fps no prob.
 
I have a feeling that Microsoft did not take the time to optimize the code so, that the Xbox version would "look better".

IMO, of course.
 
Youre right...Actually it's bungie..not micro...Micro did all the right stuff....The thing is, in todays PC FPS market, 16 players just doesn't cut it..
 
Well, Bungie is the developer and Microsoft is the publisher. Microsoft owns Bungie and they can tell Bungie to do whatever they say.

Microsoft probably thinks Halo for the PC is just an afterthought. As Microsoft would probably want Bungie to focus on Halo 2 for the Xbox exclusively.

But, you're right, 16 players and the problems with the frame rate is inexcusable. No matter if it's Microsoft's or Bungie's fault.
 
...ITs going to be just like the multiplayer for Halo X box..just...on the computer.....Tribes 2 is massive multiplayer and involves buying stuff...Halo you find stuff..Halo you have 16 people MAX
 
I'm playing it and I love it. Who cares about the 16 player max? WHy the hell would I want more than 16 people trying to kill me at once? That and even with 16 people the can be lag...more people = more lag....I'd rather play than lag all day.....and anyway it was gearbox software that primarily converted everythign form xbox to pc not bungie. Bunjie could care less becasue their working on halo 2....
 
Yeah. People complain that the graphics suck, If you don't like it don't play it's that simple. Personally I don't see what everyone is complaining about.
