Have you played the game? Have you watched the fmv? It doesn\'t look that good when you\'re looking at it and the the texures pop up half way through the cinematic.

From experience, I know the next comment by a PS 2 or gamecube fanboy will be, \"So? That isn\'t saying much\" or something along those lines. But as an xbox user I have to dissagree with Cirdan here.

Halo hasn\'t brung any new technology to games. The engine is old dated and about to die from exaustion. Halo isn\'t a new type of game either, bringing nothing to the gaming community except a legion of fanboys. If you play halo 1 on PC and compare it to the likes of Doom 3 or any other good PC game, you will see that halo does not look good at all in comparison, nor has it ever. Multiplayer was nothing new, just something for the xbox fanboys to swarm too.

For the best xbox game, I would have to give it to splinter cell. Hands down. It\'s a beautiful game which looks photo realistic at times. The realist stays true in the physics, the stealth use, and the AI. It\'s advanced shadow and lighting have influenced everything down to Thief III (adding a new 3rd person view for a first time in the series). Splinter cell is just hands down the best stealth game, and hands down the best xbox game.

It seems Microsoft is on the right way with their games ;)

Bill Gates:
\"In the first 24 hours we\'ll have an opening that\'s [more] popular than any motion picture has ever had in history.\"

They estimate around 5 million copies sold in the 1st month in the whole world.

Hell that\'s a record! ...

Ah btw, it seems Half Life 2 is out yet. Err, in theory, because some stores just couldn\'t wait until 16th September. Well, so the lucky ones that bought it can\'t play until 16th of September, because it needs a Steam log-in before playing it. Anyway ... Halo 2 > HL 2.
Though, Source is nice ;)

Some would say graphics make a game but I say storyline :P Either way not much for the sci-fi FPS scene. Star Wars will be my only scifi FPS :P

Post by: Xordan on November 12, 2004, 10:46:45 pm: Annah: Yeah, you can buy it already. Loads of people have bought it on Steam and dl\'d it through there. We all get unlocked on tuesday :) It\'s a really great idea for them to have done that.

Post by: JellyWerker on November 13, 2004, 03:03:37 am: I just got halo 2, it is sweet, the engine is totally updated and the graphics are better than doom 3\'s, the controlls actually work. I like it... a LOT.

Post by: Annah on November 13, 2004, 09:42:36 am: err yea ... now you know why I want to leave Romania! Here is not out yet grrr. And it won\'t be in the near future as well X(
Suggestions? Where should I buy it from? Ah, and most of the sites won\'t send items to Romania (due to our hackers damn them) ...

EDIT - JellyWerker, delete your email address from the sig. Do you want it to be a spam breeding place? :P

Woa...i feel sorry for you. What other games do you have there though. Any good ones?

Post by: Annah on November 13, 2004, 06:00:06 pm: \'eh what games we have is not the problem, because we have them all.
It\'s just another simple problem. Some games, from some publishers are launched officially here with some delays because they have to make the manual & the box in Romanian :/
