Title: Halo! Post by: 214_Mad_Moose on May 14, 2002, 11:15:16 am Is anyone here gonna get Halo for Mac? (altho its a lot better on xbox...)
Title: Re: Halo! Post by: theN00b on May 14, 2002, 11:18:11 am I wold rather want Raven Sheild. But I might get Halo for mac
Title: Re: Halo! Post by: 214_Mad_Moose on May 14, 2002, 11:27:22 am bungie says the minimun reqs will be equal to that of the xbox...so you will need a G4 with a Geforce4 or better...:(
BTW you should try halo it is so much beter then Raven shield.. Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Bondo on May 14, 2002, 11:47:12 am Yeah and Return to Castle Wolfenstein REQUIRES a 500 MHz ;)
Oh well, I guess I shouldn't let it get 50 fps with highest quality graphics on my 400 MHz. Yes I'll be buying Halo, yes it will be working on my computer. Bah to Bungie and minimum reqs. Title: Re: Halo! Post by: *NADS Capt. Anarchy on May 14, 2002, 12:42:26 pm bah.. i lost interest in halo sometime around last year. i'd been following it for nearly two years already and was getting rather bored with watching preview movies. then i heard it was gonna be comming to Xbox first and i decided "Fuck it!" the whole coolness of it is that it was going to come out for MAC first/simeltaneously (i know i spelt it wrong, sue me) with PC version. But obviously now that M$oft has run out of ideas they have to raid longstanding Mac companies just to get the premiere game for their console. Sheesh.
Maybe Bungie will make a Marathon 4. Wouldn't that be cool? Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Grifter on May 14, 2002, 02:10:24 pm Well... I've played Halo on the Xbox a few times now.. even had 4 people playing at once a couple times...
Compared to playing RS online... blah. Nice textured graphics... ok... so what... nothing else about it is any better then most other FPS's. I'll be looking much more forward to MOH:AA and Raven Sheild. Title: Re: Halo! Post by: †FiRE Infection on May 14, 2002, 02:57:10 pm I'm going to get Halo for the mac. ?It is a hot game although not as cool as RS which we have played forever :).? Does anybody know the release date?
Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Bondo on May 14, 2002, 03:08:18 pm Well, from what I'm hearing Halo will be coming out for Mac before PC. I don't see how Halo could possibly be worse than RS though so all good things. Speaking of which, I got the full version of RtoCW in the mail yesterday so I'm happy for a few months at least.
Title: Re: Halo! Post by: MacMan on May 14, 2002, 04:17:18 pm i got RtcW too, yesterday, it's an ok game, but DX is more fun (IMHO).
and as for the MP.. lets just say that with the fact that the CD key is checked on the server every time you try to play, illegal copies suck Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Bondo on May 14, 2002, 04:24:32 pm I figure people will try to get illegal copies of RtoCW are the same type that would try to cheat so I figure it is for the best.
Title: Re: Halo! Post by: 214_Mad_Moose on May 14, 2002, 11:02:51 pm After playing Halo, i think it is better than every other FPS in every way, except you cant play it online for xbox, but Halo 2 will be online for xbox, and Halo for mac will probly be 4 Gameranger
Title: Re: Halo! Post by: †FiRE Infection on May 14, 2002, 11:07:18 pm I think Xbox is gay and Halo is cool. That is why I want it on my mac. I can't wait to get it.

Sorry, another gamecube newsgroup reference. Title: Re: Halo!

DOWN WHITH THE OPRESSORS! "help! i'm being opressed, look, see, he's opressing me" (guess where the quote is from...) Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Ace on May 15, 2002, 01:31:38 pm Brain, answe me these questions three...
What is your name? What is your favorite color? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Brain on May 15, 2002, 01:52:49 pm we have a winner
as for the questions, here's my best shot: What is your name? Arthur, king of the britans What is your quest? i seek the holy grail What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? African, or European? Why...i dont know thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... excelent work sire, how did you know how to respond? i am king, it is my job to know such things {scene ends} and they ate sir ace's minstrels, and their was much rejoicing =P (and, no i dont own the movie) sorry, try again next time Title: Re: Halo! Post by: AK_Kilzo on May 15, 2002, 01:58:26 pm I checked the HALO site and watched the movies on gameplay, all I can say is that if you want to shoot aliens on another world, just download the RLTC mod for RS. Its just as good and its free...
Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Bondo on May 15, 2002, 02:20:14 pm ***Bondo is overwhelmed by sloppy quoting of Monty Python. Both Ace and Brain lose points for messing it up. Brain loses two though for doing it twice.
"Now we see the violence inherent in the system...Now we see the violence inherent in the system...Help, help, I'm being repressed." "Bloody Peasant" And "How do you know so much about swallows?" "You have to know these things being a king" Title: Re: Halo! Post by: AK_Kilzo on May 15, 2002, 02:31:35 pm The bird of freedom is the Eagle...
The bird of peace is the Dove... The bird of love is the Swallow... ;):) Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Grifter on May 15, 2002, 02:48:17 pm Are you saying that true love means she swallows?
And what do we have here.. a bunch of knights that say nee? Title: Re: Halo! Post by: 214 Mad Moose on May 15, 2002, 03:11:00 pm ummmm no mod for rogue spear is anything like halo, no mod could make rogue spear as good as halo.
how could someone be so braindead to think that if 2 games involve shooting aliens they are the same? Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Brain on May 15, 2002, 03:36:46 pm bondo, i did that from the last time i saw the movie, 4 years ago. hell i'm suprised i even remembered that much damn i whish i had that movie, for my valiant attempt...I demand...a shubbery NEE! Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Bondo on May 15, 2002, 05:10:21 pm Here is your shrubbery.
Do you now need (heavy paraphrasing now as even I can't remember with great accuracy this and I don't bother putting the DVD in the player to find out) another shubbery, place it next to this one, but a little higher to get that two level thing. And when I have done that will I have to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with...a herring? Anyway, you are forgiven your mistake, but you should buy it and stuff, special edition DVD is a must. Title: Re: Halo! Post by: Brain on May 15, 2002, 10:32:16 pm *thinking, processing, scanning---ERROR ERROR* damnit, i can't think of a good line to counter that. well played, bondo (if i remeber correctly, they wanted a terraced effect) he said the word!!!(memory file corrupded beyond this point. all i remember is that the next sequence was funny as hell) |
