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.

      WTF! Nah, not this one. If you were back then using computers in the 90s or you had a clue, you'd know this was huge and was seen and overused absolutely everywhere and you'd take this article as no more than a retrospective story. That's all it is.

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.

      256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.
