Yes! Weekly Bungie Update: Today!

i\'ll wait, it\'s worth it

Unless they make a CE version, try to separate the already small halo community, and change the leading system to where you have to re learn everything that you have learned 8 months ago.

Jackasses.

Sadly by the time that bloddy game is ported over to the PC, there will be much better games out by then.

Also don\'t get me started on the POS port job Gearbox did for the PC version.

no complaints here, runs great

mouse+kb > all

just wish they included co-op

The problems present with the PC port were not Gearbox\'s fault. Updates and patches went to Microsoft/Bungie long, long ago... They just never got around to it. So, we have CE... Where Gearbox can handle everything themselves. Release updates that don\'t have to go through Microsoft or Bungie.

Only took me a week to adjust to HaloCE\'s new netcode, and the leading varies quite a bit with that... And I still go back and forth between Halo PC and CE... And I kick ass in both. So I cannot relate to the problem here.

But, again, don\'t put the blame on Gearbox, you would\'ve gotten this update a lot earlier if it didn\'t have to go through the folks higher-up. They simply didn\'t care. :/

Guess I should take the opportunity to mention that Mrs Doublefire\'s New Mombassa/HALO 2 mod for HaloCE is progressing quite nicely and has moved on to beta testing.





More images here... Obviously, the map is still far from finished and lacks a considerable amount of polish(he just got it running, actually)...

In other words... it runs at 30 FPS locked Now...

By the time Full Detail is implemented ...expect the frame rate to drop when ever something interesting happens *coff*HALO1*Coff*

nice blurring on those pictures also, btw

im not impressed

Actually, folks who are beta testing with comparable specs to my PC are getting more than 60fps, with small framerate drops.

This is CE, ya know.

Y\'mean the fog? He\'s trying to simulate the war-like atmosphere found in the E3 2k3 demo.

And, again... Map\'s far from complete.

you mean he\'s trying to simulate a decent  framerate

No. He wouldn\'t have to...

This map uses far less geometry than Death Island(which breaks the developer recommended 10,000 polys by like... Almost double), and it runs like butter for me when I\'m in a Banshee observing the entire map. Based on the custom-made textures he\'s done so far and some of the comments that have been made concerning the over-use of bump-mapping in some of the more recent user-created maps(which means you won\'t see it in New Mombassa )... Map should run quite nicely.

Fog\'s just there for effect at the moment, man.

sure...sure

they said popup was a feature on the N64 too

... Seriously?

We\'ll see when it releases, I guess.

Neat. Hope we see more of these in the future.
