OMFG Halo 2!!!

Plain Old Jane · 11-08-2004, 10:06 PM

I'm grabbing this bad boy when it comes out on PC!

It has a +2 to the ass kicking trait.

raublekick · 11-08-2004, 11:08 PM

It also has a +100 to the "I don't have an XBox and thus don't give a shit" trait.

thecreeper · 11-08-2004, 11:43 PM

yeah im another in the whole "no xbox, shitty pc that wont run it that great, and wasnt that into the original" group. maybe the sequel will change my mind. who knows.

GT2000 · 11-10-2004, 12:33 AM

I'll check out the PC release, I know I'll be able to run it no prob. But I'm still waiting to see if I get my free copy of HL2 when it releases, from that ATI deal a while back.

Plain Old Jane · 11-10-2004, 01:11 PM

as long as you registered it via steam before nov 1st

Mike · 11-10-2004, 07:11 PM

I bought HL2 the day they let you buy it and get CS:S. I've been mapping with the newly released SDK for the last couple of days ... the engine is so fucking awesome. Just the shit that you can do ... in Hammer (the level editor) is physically amazing.

It comes out in a few days, I'm wicked pumped... I'll be playing it the second that it is released.

HAs it been confirmed that Halo 2 is coming out for PC? I had heard that Halo 2 was X-Box exclusive ... though, I'm probably wrong.

Plain Old Jane · 11-10-2004, 10:49 PM

hmmm... I may have to d/l the sdk as well

I have the Silver pack of HL2 which will include HL2 CS:S and HL1 and DOD in the source engine, I paid some 60 dollars for it to. Cant wait for it, but with vivendi's lawsuit with valve over the distribution rights (Steam = no physical distribution) I wouldnt count too much on that release date, tho' it'd be cool if it was, I certainly hope 11/16/04 is the release date

Mike · 11-10-2004, 11:38 PM

I bought the silver as well.
To my understanding, VU and Valve settled out of court and the game is scheduled for the Nov. 16th release day ... Atleast, that's what I remember from a month ago or so. Regardless, I've been having a blast mapping for CS:S, just testing out the physics...

It's so incredible.

Thats like saying girls dont like other girls sexually, but some do; stereotypes make me wanna stick a plasma grenade to ya.

But I just made my GF orgasm for over an hour, so I'm in a relatively good mood.

raublekick · 11-11-2004, 11:54 PM

don't take any offense to this, jep, because i am happy that you're happy. but, it saddens me that you have a girlfriend, and i do not.

not only do I have a beautiful and smart GF, but I also have 5 stalkers (more precisely Social Clingers that I'm not attracted to, but they dont like to hear "no.") Its a tradeoff really, its an ego booster, but its annoying as frell.

anyway raub... We're open minded... if your ever in the area... (just kindding, I'm still a virgin)

raditz · 11-12-2004, 04:34 AM

lol

jep knows i was playin

but... are you saying that you're a girl that likes other girls now?

thecreeper · 11-12-2004, 11:14 AM

andrew you have to remember, he's in jersey, and not having a girlfriend is better than having a jersey girl.

raublekick · 11-12-2004, 11:30 AM

true. anyways back to Halo 2 discussion... I might play it today after class, my friend invited me to play with some other dudes here in the compsci lab.

For every letter in that statement, I will kill you...

I heard its much different than the teaser thats been floating around online. And at one point of the game, you play as a covenant...

I got to play this today after class. We commandeered a classroom and hooked an XBOX up through a projector. Nothing quite like playing 4 player split screen when each player has a 30+" portion of the screen to look at:twisted: The picture quality was pretty shabby though. Overall I think it is really fun, I liked it more than I thought I would. The levels are a little too big for only 4 people, so that kinda hindered things.
