Wait wait wait.you can't compare HALO 2 with such great classics like PONG, PAC-MAN & ARKANOID no way man.They had by far better graphic engines than HALO 2.Have you seen the lighing effects in PAC-MAN , dude.Halo 2 woun't come close to it, impossible :no: .An overclocked ATI Radeon x800 256 MB (256-bit) can barely run PAC-MAN on 640x480 - 16bit.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :p :p :p

lol... Look at challenge factor in games... compare Doom III's challenge factor with a great hit like CONTRA (capitalized for effect) Contra was genuinely hard, no armor no life bar.... it was do or die... lol games like Doom III might look like real life now, but the challenge factor in vintage games is long gone... Ninja Gaiden for the Box went back to the days of yore and offered a genuine challenge... hey anyone remember holographic wiley from Mega Man 2? now THERE was a solid challenge.

but when a game is so hard (one that has a developing story line) it is no fun to play parts over and over- thats where the challenge factor is no longer useful, and where the gamer drops the controller because they don't want to play it over and over.

Or they can just make a more fun game.

Is this true?[/b]>

Is it true, that you need a 512MB GFX card to run the game on Ultra High details?

So i'd have to wait for a 512 card to play on 1024x768 no AA nor AF on Ultra high?>

It's true. The game is built to detect 512mb cars. But i should imagine you can play everything ultrahigh now if you have a high end comp.

I'm sitting on a 1.8ghz athlon,

GeForce 4:4600

768 Megs of ram.

i think i'll be fine.

not sure if i'll be able to try it at Ultra Detail though.

back on topic, I'm currently playing through Halo on the PC and its impressive, if a little repetative.

Doom3 like that?

and lets try and do without the spoilers about Doom3 from now on...

Jesus, my friend went and bought it at my local Best Buy earlier today when I told him it was there. He actually picked me up and brought me to his place so I could see the game.

Absolutely fricken incredible. I can just imagine me playing it in the dark on my headset whilst the thunderstorms are knocking away with the lightning blasting!

sorry donuts it will not run in ultra high, your comp is a bit slower then mine and i can tell you for sure ULTRA HIGH IS ULTRA LAGY. 1600x1200 is great though.

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
