Yes! Weekly Bungie Update: Today!

I bought an Xbox with HALO with the knowledge that it would run it at 30fps, I got what I expected when I purchased the console... Am I safe in assuming you did this as well? If that is not the case, I suggest that in the future you do more research on the game consoles you intend to buy along with the software they are capable of running.

Perhaps you should simply sell your Xbox to someone a bit less fortunate. If you have one that is. Apparently you only use it as a "dust collector", and feel the need to mention this often, like it\'s some sort of personal feat... Why you would keep such an expensive piece of hardware for such a wasteful purpose is beyond me.

Oh, and no. I\'m not going to make excuses if Microsoft\'s next generation console is incapable of running HALO 3 at 30fps. I\'m not making excuses now, since all I\'ve said concerning the reasoning behind Bungie\'s decision to make HALO 2 30fps is factual, and straight from Bungie themselves.

But, of course... Water + Duck = Tsk, tsk...

im punishing my xbox, and M$ by not purchasing 99% of the suck titles out there now

the xbox simpy cannot run halo or halo 2 at 60fps, thats the sad, pathetic bottom line.

but hey, if your comfortable with accepting that, its your money

but its a good thing not everyone thinks like you, or they\'de release a new halo every 2 months for suckers to buy up

... How horribly flawed.

It\'s funny because he\'s serious about all of this.

Oh well, it\'s all good. I still love you, mm.

[EDIT] - *yawn*, I think I should just leave it alone for the time being, thread\'s going horribly OT. I\'ve been on this forum for a while, but seriously...

Because, y\'know, the other two competing consoles could handle a game like HALO 2 at 60fps without breaking a sweat. WOW!

C\'mon you guys... Bungie could get this game at 60fps if they wanted to, but they prefer to keep the visual splendor a step up from comparable games on competing platforms(certain aspects of the visuals that will work with the gameplay, mind you), while retaining a tolerable framerate that will apparently, and hopefully stay consistant and stable.

Like I said, it\'s been almost 5 years. We\'ve been through all the tech debates and specification comparisions. We know the Xbox doesn\'t slaughter the PS2 or Gamecube technically. That the PC has surpassed the Xbox(and the other consoles) by a couple of generations by now. That Microsoft are a bunch of lying, misleadin\' foolios that overhype their products just like any other company. That the fact that some high profile games like Project Gotham Racing 2 and HALO 2 running at 30fps may be a tad bit disappointing...

Get over it. Like millions of others have.

Really, you know the deal. Are you incapable of adjusting to that framerate? Is it really that unbearable to you that you have to bring it up in every related thread... Constantly? While ignoring and neglecting to discuss any advancements in gameplay, mind you. That\'s just trolling, and ruins the thread, in my opinion.

Now... Can we discuss the actual updates now? That is what this thread is about, is it not?

[EDIT] - Fixed a small typo.

How is it wrong for someone to say that they want 60 fps in games. And I surely have not even been bringing up the framerate in every topic.

And i haven\'t seen it being brought up a whole lot in other threads. I just expected a system such as xbox to be able to handle 60fps.

I just don\'t get how so many ps2 games run on 60fps and all these xbox games are running at a poor 30fps.

In anycase I am a halo fan and stated that before.

well, before the xbox sheep start blabbering

xbox devs put textures before fps

thats the stripped down bullshit explanation

I don\'t mind 30fps all that much if it\'s stable. What I do have a problem with is the control schemes for FPS games on consoles which is why I never really buy FPS games for consoles.

I also found the original Halo repetetive and boring. Most overrated game of this generation if you ask me.

I\'m not even looking forward to Halo 2. More looking forward to Full Spectrum Warrior, looks like a fun game.

I wasn\'t targeting you specifically with my rant, QuDDus. If I gave you that impression, I apologize.

"So much for *cough* un-finished hardware.. Halo still running @ 30fps." -Thread title.

"Halo - 30fps? A huge disappointment for me." -Thread title.

"it would look better if it was locked at 60 FPS" -mm

"best point - 30 fps = crap" -mm

"how you like the 15 FPS when playing two player?" -mm

"errr, you must have the 60 FPS and non-repetitive levels version rast.

cause my version is tired" -mm

Heh...

I just don\'t get how so many ps2 games run on 60fps and all these xbox games are running at a poor 30fps.

You don\'t? Game\'s like HALO 2 and PGR2 are a step above comparable games on PS2 technically. Killzone looks great, but do you see the kind of lighting and textures in Killzone that you see in HALO 2?

And even then, not all high profile Xbox games run at 30fps.

In anycase I am a halo fan and stated that before.

I know, I\'ve been on this forum for a while, man... I just lurk a lot. I know just about everybody.

Not entirely true.

Even still, it shouldn\'t worry you so much as long as it\'s stable.

... But, it does. Oh well.

and how much older is it?

nu, sorry.  not reading all that drivel

Nope.
But the PS2 sure cant do Halo2.Nor Ninja Gaiden, nor panzer dragoon....and the list goes on.

The PS2 beat XBOX becuase it has de games.Not de graphics

bro, it\'s fukn pathetic that you still compare xbox and PS2 hardware

look and see when i mentioned anything about PS2

it\'s that knee jerk reaction, your precious xbox gets slighted, so you instantly insult the PS2

"bro, it\'s fukn pathetic that you still compare xbox and PS2 hardware"

partially true
But you cant deny that there are some things the XBOX can do the PS2 cant

And I dont own an XBOX
I only own a PS2 which I believe is a better purchase.Hands down.


I just dont take anyones part

I only own a PS2 which I believe is a better purchase.Hands down.

well, at least we can wholeheartedly agree on one thing

yep

Blah Blah Blah...

We all know the DC is better than both of them combined...

IT RUNS QUAKE2 AT 30fps!!IT SUCKS!!!A LOT!!OK????

guess i cant argue with child mentality

  I\'m not the one whining about how bad Xbox is everyday.  What a hipurcret.  Ontop of all that,  You\'re the mod eveyone look up too and should be the last person who would do things like that.

Running 60fps is a can do but with most of the effects turn down and what you get, Red Faction.
