HALO: Combat Evolved

After playing 2 levels, I'd say this game is average. It's okay, but it's not the greatest. Low poly models, low rez textures...you can tell it's a port.:(

What engine is this running on? It reminds of Halflife 1 graphics.;)

Agreed. Playing it on the X-Box is 10x more funner if you ask me. The game would have been awesome if it came out on time (2 years ago for the PC) but alas it did not and was mistakenly and foolishly releaed 2 years later. I fear to see Halo 2 when it comes to the PC in about 4 years (pun).

eh...it comes out on 3 days...I never played it on the x-box so I'll probably buy it for both the single player and multiplayer...

Foolish? i doubt that.

From what i understand this is one of the Xboxs flagship titles, it just helps add insult to injury to the PC users by releasing this thing just as Halo 2 is coming out for the Xbox.

Logistics you guys...the games dont just magically appear wrapped and ready to ship in 5 seconds to be ready the 30th. After a game has gone gold you need at least 2-3 weeks to get everything MADE, shipped and packaged. More then likely they already start production long before they go gold anyway.

You have a better chance of being struck by a meteor the size of texas than having HL2 comming out the 30th.

*Looks into his telescope* PLEASE!

From the 2nd level on, Halo is pretty good. First level is total crap, gfx wise and gameplay wise

I'll have to play more then, because I've stopped after the first level, due to sheer disappointment.;)

It runs like crap, and even when it registers at 50fps on screen the game feels laggy, the locked animations, the bugs, the excuses from gearbox. It's a crappy port of an otherwise decent game, I'm not gambling on when or if they fix everything that's wrong with it, or even if they can. So I returned my copy, and got store credit... Which is either going to XIII, or Call of Duty. So it's no big loss for me, although if Gearbox does come through with the fixes, I'll get it when its in the bargain bin.

I haven't played it yet. My cousin has it for XBox, but .. meh .. I need a demo first.

Every time I play each of these demos, it makes me want them more and more! Screw the mythological HL2 and D3, bring on good games that we'll actually see this year (month!)! :D

Exactly, as people gaze star-eyed into the next 6 months obsessing over games they're not going to play for an extremely long time, I'll be enjoying XIII and C.o.D.

It's not that I don't want HL2/D3 as much as the next gamer, and believe me I do. I just feel that people are unfortunately overlooking some exceptional games that are going to be out within the month.

I've been having alot of fun with the XIII multiplayer demo , it vaguely reminds of goldeneye. I'm not sure if it's the cel-shading but the weapons in XIII are amazing.

Yeah, CoD looks to be killer :) The demo was pretty exciting, but I can see where that would get old pretty quick.

Seems like everyone is getting into a pissing contest over HL2 and D3. They'll probably both suck butt and bomb like a movie made into a game, or a game made into a movie ;) That would be hilarious..:o
