HALO

[ECILOPAVEHT]

I am wondering if anyone has any info on HALO ie.. release dates or anything I heard it realy is going to kick ***! but we will see...


Thanks!

I have no idea about a release date. It probably wont be for awhile. I think they are making it for the X-Box and then going to port it to the PC. I could be wrong about this so if anyone else knows correct me.

As far as i know,HALO will appear Q4 this year ,in the best case,wich ,as all of us knows ,its almost never happends...,but I keep some hope.Because of the season well known rush it might be true.
In the worst case I think at Q2-3 next year.
But,if we are at this point,I wana add something ,that IMHO ,HALO is an very concludent case about what public internet petitions can do,and I think that the fact that so many ppls on the net subscribed at some of many petitions helped greatly on M$ decision to agree releasing HALO on the PC also,beside x-thing...
Here is an link to one of the sites that suported such petition,just as a proof of what we all can do to change things in better:

As far as I know, all the development work to date has been done geared to releasing it on the PC platform. The X Box is still at least a year off, so I cant see the sense in just halting PC work. So perhaps we'll see it sooner. And I surely hope that is the cae, because this game looks like it's gonna kick some major butt.

Thanks for clearing that up. I have heard numerous rumors, but I wasn't up to date on what was going on. Thanks

I read in PC Gamer that Halo's release date would be in spring year 2001.

The demo mpeg i saw was marvelous. But I think that was running on a IMac? What system spec do ya think a PC requires to run a game like that?

P3-600 +
Geforce 2 GTS +
256mb ram

Very curious

Coz I got a p3-800, 128mb ram and Leadtek Geforce 256 DDR 32mb.

Halo was shown to PC Gamer UK on a 450 Mhz computer with a TNT 2 (Ultra ?). They didn't say anything about how much RAM and what resolution, but they got 25 fps on that computer.
So recommended system requirements would be :
P2/Athlon 500 Mhz
Geforce or Geforce 2 GTS
128 MB RAM

That's what I think will be a good PC to run Halo on. It will be no problem for me since I got a 700 Mhz Athlon, 256 MB RAM and a Creative Annihilator PRO

By the way, the game looks great. Perhaps game of the year ?

Bear in mind the engine will probably get optimised a little more before release, too.

Quick question, is it still going to be 3rd person or they going to make it 1st person??

[Xeratul]

I think 1 st person.
Jeep driving is from 3th person view.
I think so.

[BloodRed]

From what I read it's going to be a 3rd person game, but I really really really hope they change that or at least let you choose. My concern is about the netcode. Will it be playable on a modem????
