Halo 2 release date


Recommended Posts

gimme some arguments of the X-Box -over the PS2- please?  ;)

you asked for it :p

  • xbox CPU is 733mhz, ps2 is only 300mhz
  • xbox has twice the amount of ram (64mb instead of 32mb)
  • xbox GPU is 233mhz, ps2 is 150mhz
  • xbox memory bandwidth is twice as much (6.4GB per sec compared to 3.2GB per sec)
  • xbox can draw four times the amout of polygons per second (300 million compared to 75 million)
  • xbox comes with a hard drive, ethernet, and four controller ports, ps2 just recently got the hard drive and ethernet, and you need to buy a multi tap to get more than 2 players
  • xbox can have 256 audio channels, ps2 is limited to 48
  • xbox has HDTV support, up to 1080i. ps2 has none
  • xbox is capable of surround sound, ps2 is not
  • the xbox is easier to code for than the ps2

also, IMO: xbox games consistently look better than ps2 games. not all of them do, but most look better to me. however, this is a matter of opinion, and we could argue this point to no end...

sources: first results in google for ps2 specs and xbox specs

the new final fantasy looks soo good....

i'm a final fantasy fan too, and i have a ps2 specifically for them :) but most of the other games i like are on xbox...

as for final fantasy looking good, i don't like ff11, and ffx-2 seems to be turning into a "hot chicks" game. i like ff 6-9, and 4 & 5 are kinda fun and nostalgic, but the others don't interest me that much anymore :/

the only thing i'd want a gamecube for is super monkey ball :rofl: and maybe mario party or something, but nothing big...

tru but the graphics look nice.....

i still haven't played X...

i dunno about 11 but i always liked the storylines especially the ones from 7 - 9 and nintendo ones....

yea and mario kart from gamecube...!!!....its more a play with other ppl system

but yea ic what u mean also...

Please don't turn this into a Console X is better than Console Y thread.

the convo wasn't even going in that direction so i dunno where ur coming from.... :rolleyes:

gameguy gave the specs of both the systems and pointed out that xbox is better in hardware

and i just said that it also depends on what type of games u like and to go w/ that...

I still dont see any solid source, I hardly see costco working for Microsoft :rolleyes:

Nothing has been comfirmed or released by Bungie and 4/4/2004 is a Sunday so that date is definately bogus, sorry guys but this isnt true

Yep. There's no confirmation even on the Bungie site, so I think it is false :D

i was rather disappointed with ffx. i mean, it had its fun parts like everything else (blitzball, what else... dunno :unsure:) but the voices were too different from a ff game for me, and i think they could have done better with the character models...

<rant> to hell with microsoft and their pos X-box. What good is a FPS without a keyboard and mouse?!?!? And the Framerape!!</rant> Halo was good though.......on PC. It would be even better if they'd realease it for PC and X-box at the same time, getting buyers from both areas. But no....can't do that.....Windows costs more than an X-box but they want all your money so they'll make you get both. :angry:

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
