Hired Gun
Little is known thus far of the team developing Halo 2 for Windows Vista. We're about to change all that for you. We take a brief look at the members of [i]Hired Gun[/i], the team handling the bulk of H2V's development.

first of all, when they are saying 60Hz, i hope they mean 60 fps, which is still not a prefered number by any computer gamer. id software pulled it off in q4 because the gameplay is still very smooth at the maximum fps of 60, so i'm assuming h2v is going to be somewhat like that. now, if they really do mean 60Hz, i have no idea why that would be their favorite part. 60Hz can be damaging to the eyes after prolonged experiences of looking at a monitor; not to mention the ghosting effect that can occur with a low frequency, commonly seen on lcd monitors with high response times. 85Hz and up is ideal for computer gamers with 120Hz being optimal. i'm kind of confused by what exactly they mean, but let's hope they are talking about a capped fps of 60 and that we will be able to change our refresh rate. also, everything seems to be graphics this, and high res graphics that. all anyone talks about is graphics. being bungie studios and all, and me being a long time bungie fan all the way back to marathon and the myth series, i'm sure you know that gameplay >>> graphics. i just hope a good netcode and near infinite gameplay will be present in the final release like any game that bungie makes.

y even bother with it i mean really if u have the h2 on xbox then y get h2 vista? it seems like a waste of money.
-
Nice! Cant wait. ^_^
-
Pretty cool descriptions and information. Can we expect more of this type of thing in the future?
-
Ok then why don't you enlighten them, since you seem to be the all knowing king of Vista. and get it right ME was the worst ever.
-
Wow Bungie, you guyz are still going on about Vista! Vista is going to be one of the worst OS's ever created. This is all propaganda.... i bet 1/3 of these kids dont even no anything about vista, and how bad it is.
-
Looks like they'll make a good team, and I'm really looking forward to the game, even if they're using a clever marketing strategy to get me to waste money on another computer just to play the game. And, I thought it was only the Microsoft [i]operators[/i] who couldn't speak English. o_O
-
Yay! Now we can blame it on them if h2v is bad! (JK) I am shure they will do a splendid job. [Edited on 10/26/2006]

So where's all the Scots? I need to see some of my country men in the list. If you have to, make one up. William Wallace would be nice.

Excellent article KP, Hired Guns are teh coolest.
-
I love how with halo 2 vista it's all about the graphics and high res graphics, net code and weapon balance issues still haven't been discussed, but bungie? Who cares right?
-
Good luck guys. I doubt you need luck with all the talent experience and resources on this project. But, anyway, I thought it sounded nice to say "good luck." Maybe more appropriately... Have fun! But, then again, how can you NOT have fun working on Halo? OK, here's my final thought: [b]Keep up the good work! ! ![/b]
-
Cool!
-

-
H2V.... we needs it now!!!!! O_o ya... cant wait!

So Bungie is, once again, just overseeing the project, huh? I also thought these guys came from Microsoft Game Studios, as mentioned many months ago in an update, and how they were 8+ year veterans who had worked on Doom 2, Brute Force, Might & Magic, and Forza Motorsport. You also said the team was closely tied with the Microsoft Game Studios TnT team. Well, let's hope this doesn't turn out to be a fiasco when it comes to netcode. How about giving them some more line to let them do their thing this time around, Bungie? [Edited on 10/26/2006]
