No CoOp - MS and Bungie blow it.
Well, good job guys, I created an account just to be able to voice my dissatisfaction with your game. I don’t have words to express just how glad I am that I neglected to buy Halo:PC. You took what could have been great, stripped out what made the game good, put in a DM system that is horrible in comparison to other games, and then rushed it to market before it was done. Dump any more games on the public like this one and that'll be the end of the pc market for you. Somewhere along the line you forgot what good gaming was, I hope you find it again.

Blame GearBox, they were the ones who made Halo for the PC [Edited on 4/16/2004 5:56:26 PM]

I agree with general fox. I dont think Bungie realized how -blam!- a job gearbox was doing. Gearbox should be the one to blame. At least you liked Halo for Xbox right?
-
Man, Halo PC was an excellent thing. It was made for everyone who didn't have an Xbox, and for those who desire to play it online, but sadly couldn't. I mean, if you didn't like it, then that's your opinion. But, let's not take opinions too far. A lot of folks, including me (also owner of Xbox Halo) really enjoyed the game.
-
you guys dont know anything about halo pc , gb programmed the game, bungie & m$ are the ones that have the final say in what was put in the game.and co-op wasnt one.
-
If Gearbox had been able to deliver co-op Bungie would have shipped, co-op rocks Bungie rocks, if Gearbox had coded it Bungie would have shipped it.
-
bungie didnt want it. or it would have been their. the pc is played on online, then in co op- thats why they focused more on the online .new vech / weapons.
-
It doesn't really matter if Bungie wanted it or not. I think its clear just by looking at the warping in regular MP, that Gearbox would have totally screwed up co-op aswell. If I was Bungie and MS I'd want a refund. I could have done a better port than GB.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] NickTheNova You took what could have been great, stripped out what made the game good[/quote] Are you referring to coop here? If you are, then you dead wrong. MP is what makes Halo shine, without it no one would be playing the game anymore. Imaging the CPL Halo co-op finals...lol. Most FPS PC gamers don't care about co-op mission modes. If might be kind of fun, but hardly a major issue. Go back to your console games. -MoneyMan

Who Cares about co-op, Halo is all about multiplayer, I play co-op when Im with a bunch of noobs. The Graphics on the pc are awsome and the new levels are amazing. I dont think you know what a good game is. [Edited on 4/20/2004 9:06:51 AM]

You can play Halo on X-box Connect through your PC
-
[quote]bungie didnt want it. or it would have been their.[/quote] That's not true at all. Bungie wanted co-op in Halo PC just as much as the rest of us. However, networked co-op for Halo simply turnedf out to be implausible. Bungie wasn't able to do it for the XBox version, and Gearbox wasn't able to do it for the PC version. There's far more complex reasons to it than "Bungie didn't want it." That doesn't even make sense.
-
Why would Microsoft/Bungie allow for coop in the PC version? I sure wouldn't, even if it was possible. I wouldn't release the HEK either. : ) Hate me now! ......Because this future owner of Halo 2 doesn't care!
-
if bungie really wanted co-op it would have been in the game. i can put money on that. maybe if they wouldnt have rushed the game out the door it might have been done. i know gb has mess with co-op but they will never release it..

[quote] if bungie really wanted co-op it would have been in the game. i can put money on that. maybe if they wouldnt have rushed the game out the door it might have been done. i know gb has mess with co-op but they will never release it..[/quote] Right. When you've written your own game as complex as Halo and make an online co-op for it, you let us know. =)
-
just ask Randy :)
-
I have. I've spoken to him in person about it. Your "Bungie doesn't want it" stuff is untrue. I've also spoken to people at Bungie about it. They want it just as much as the rest of us, Gearbox and Bungie both.
-
do you really think if they wanted co-op the game would have shipped without it ?
-
Maybe they didn't want it in the game. The hours it would take to convert Co-Op to a network protocol would have probably pushed the games release back. Shishka is right, I remember the conversation and news posts about Co-Op in the game. I just spent 15 minutes looking for the news post or related information on HBO. Then I realized I'm not the one mis-informed. Do a search and you'll see the tru7h.
-
[quote]do you really think if they wanted co-op the game would have shipped without it ?[/quote] Yes, I do. Especially since there was no plausible way to make network co-op [i]work[/i]. Assuming they cut co-op simply because they didn't want it doesn't make much sense. As nof pointed out (Jeeze, nof, I would've figured you'd have just gotten a new account by now), these are conversations that have been had before. Go ahead and look for them and you'll find that all parties involved wanted co-op, but that it simply wasn't feasible.

this is all opinion i love halo, you hate it thats what makes the world go round..... [Edited on 4/21/2004 3:40:42 PM]
