of course, they could probably fix the framerate instead of wasting time on this crap

but, thats just me

By "fix", I\'m assuming you mean bump up to 60fps. It\'s not happening, man. They\'d have to sacrifice a lot of the stuff that\'s going to make this game significantly better than the original.

Let it go. They\'ve managed to make the framerate a lot more consistant than the original\'s, that\'s obviously not enough for you, but we get it...

As long as it\'s still fun.

Sure it\'ll be kickass if it were running at 60fps, but I don\'t really give a shit. 30 fps is fine.

Anyway, I\'m getting used to CE. The custom maps are really nice.

1)This is an XBOX an old PC hardware

2)a)Do you want faster framerate and less detailed graphics with less things happening  on screen?
  b)Or better graphics, more things happening on screen  and a steady 30 fps

Its illogical to compalin about this game not being up to par with today\'s PC standards.
Would it have been better if they didnt make Halo2 at all on XBOX just becuase its 30 fps?
I mean come on.XBOX is old.Its good to see games like Halo2 on it
On consoles the more they reach the end of their lifespan the more console owners expect to see developers exploid the untapped left power left.And thats whats happening with Halo2.Its illogical to expect it to be an all perfect game graphically.For an XBOX game its superb looking and its exploiting a lot of XBOX\'s extra power and thats enough if the framerate is steady and great gameplay.
Why make it such an issue?Its like complaining why the PS2 which is even older cant do the highly detailed bump mapped textures seen in almost every PC game and run at 60 fps too.
Just take a look at Splinter Cell

i dun expect it to be perfect

i expect 60 fps locked.  it is possible as other titles can do it, even on the PS2

xbox is top of the line console hardware, and halo2 has been in development for how many years?

60 fps locked if they reduce the detail in graphics though.

There are not titles on the PS2 or Gamecube that are running software as technically complex as HALO 2 at a rock solid 60fps, mm.

[EDIT] - Just to elaborate, RL3: Rebel Strike for the GCN would be a similar comparision. It\'s 60fps, has a ton of shit goin\' on, bump-mapped, dynamic lighting... But the framerate is all over the place.

We\'re getting maps 4 to 6 times larger than Assault on the Control Center, Dynamic Lighting and Shadowing is a part of the gameplay now, not just a fancy new detail.

What can they axe without changing the actual game?

SIMPLE !!!!!

move All work to the PC and Ditch this Farce of making FPS games on Limited Console(s)..

Result

Desired Level of detail & 60 (higher constant) FPS.

Oh also you can have the M0dding community producing addons and extras ala...Half Life.

GOD yet another reason why

PC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Consoles

and why

HALF LIFE 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>Halo 2
