Re: Halo PC Complaints. Say what you will.

In Response To: Halo PC Complaints. Say what you will. (guy who doesn't post....too often)

: Upon launch of Halo PC, we all found out several things: 1. The game requires
: high-end hardware to run smoothly. Want performance better than smooth?
: Too bad, the hardware doesn’t exist yet. Can’t afford or simply can’t
: justify the hardware purchase? Suffer through sub-Xbox quality graphics
: and frame rates. Why? Gearbox apparently wants to be on “the cutting
: edge”. Great, all your customers are on the dull blade, simmering on the
: backburner. Maybe in two years, when video cards and processors exist that
: can handle this game’s full capacity, a grand total of 4 years after Halo
: debuted on the Xbox, gamers everywhere can finally enjoy the masterpiece
: that Gearbox has painted.

It's totally pathetic that Halo looks and plays like shit on my machine, yet Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Call of Duty, Battlfield, and even Syberia look awesome, even with the most basic settings. Not too mention the frame rate. What's the point of setting the texture quality at low and turning off particles if it still plays like shit?

: 4. The lag that everyone complained about on the Xbox tunneling software is
: almost non-existent compared to that of the PC version of Halo. All of a
: sudden, we realized how good we had it. This lag, though, isn’t just the
: kind that makes the game “freeze” for a short time (but that does happen,
: frequently), it is a new lag, permanently imbedded into every game. This
: new lag makes leading your target by two or three feet the standard. This
: leading is even worse when vehicles are the (intended) target.

Same here. I'm just starting to get as good with the sniper on PC as i was on the box, due to lag.

: 5. Along with the lag came unbearable warping. Vehicle warping, weapon
: warping, teleporter warping, rock warping, and spawn warping…the list goes
: on. The Beta testers didn’t report any of this?

I especially love it when a guy miracusously makes a 20 ft. jump in a millisecond

: 6. Team killing hasn’t been addressed by Gearbox and as such, it runs rampant
: on every server out there. This drives everybody up the wall. A patch is
: promised.

I can't recall the last time some somebody tked me on ANY other online game

: The patch also added more information to the in-game carnage report. It now
: shows assists, deaths, and kills along with the player’s ping. The new
: info is great, although I question the validity of the ping since all
: pings are multiples of 33. Real pings were too difficult to code? Gearbox
: needed to group pings?

The ping is totally meaningless. I have a T1 connection (T fucking 1!) and I still get shitty lag.

: Players are now experiencing crashes due to halo. I personally crash when loading new maps online. I enter the new map, and I freeze. My health bar
: is missing, and I can’t move. My teammates on voice chat, who haven’t
: crashed, ask me why I, along with 2 or 3 other people, quit out. I laugh
: and say I didn’t and shut halo down by ending the process, since its
: frozen stiff. Sometimes, the crashes shut everything down and my PC won’t
: respond until I reboot.

same here
