Half Life 2 on Xbox

HL2 on xbox.....no way

ive got thief 3 and cant see bad frame rates, but i havent played it on the other platforms yet. but y do u think valve will take priority in cs:s release than HL2's when we practically know nothing on cs:s and more on HL2 atm? dont u think that would just be an incredibly stupid move?? they are sceduled to be released at the same time, as there are about 5-6 different packages that HL2 will come in...multiplayer and singleplayer is just one of them. the cs:s beta version is due for release 'soon', but like the HL2 release date, i dont think we can count on it...

Pureball can I have your old graphics card when you upgrade lol

I really dont think that the X-Box version will be neary as good as the PC version.

I would really be pissed of if it came on xbox first, it would kill the game. I never had a console before as consoles are mostly for marketing purposes, and I need a mouse and a Key bord to play.

It's a matter of applied longevity, seeing as the majority of people playing over Steam play CS, not HL. What makes you think CS isn't a priority? You're talking about extending the life of the world's most played online game. I'm sure everybody here is a HL fan, but fanboy attitudes aside, you have to give CS its due. CS has probably been a bigger breadmaker for Valve, even when HL is still a sales driving app.

Since everyone is sh$ting out there 2 cents, might as well too. Some games belong on console and some don't. Zelda works perfectly on console and I would never play it on computer. The same with Metal Gear Solid 2 or any games like that. Racing games are another gender that I would only play on console, but first person shooters need to be played on a computer. DX2 gives me nightmares and look at Halo. I am sorry, but who ever thought that Halo was amazing should be kicked in the face. It was good, but it was far from amazing. I followed that game for a year when it was in development for the PC and X-Box had to come along and ruin the game. It makes me soooo made that games are ruined because they are directed at a much less advanced audience. Computers are the cutting edge of technology and we shell out a lot of money to hold that position. Giving us crappy Halo ports and half-baked Deus Ex sequel is bull we deserve better than everyone else, because we are more invested in it. Did that make any sense?/ or was it completely random? Feel free to hate me for my opinion because if you disagree with me I already hate you.

dude...praise to you m8. did NO ONE see how shit halo was anyway??? it was a platform - pc DISASTER. ppl are still going on about how amazing it is, and i thought it was ****ing ****ocks tbh. even thinking about a conversion makes me shiver and want to be sick. xbox must burn, as almost all decent pc games are released on xbox aswell...but hang on...how many xbox games are there on the pc...??? uhh, halo...and halo...and halo...hmm. xbox : get ****ed!!

well...someone isn't a fan of Xbox. Though I do tend to agree with you. After palying halo over and over, it really isnt that great. And the pc version was bad, worse than bad, yes, but...bad...

long time watcher, fist time poster.

Halo for the PC was the worst $40 I've ever spent! It's bad enough that they re-use room structures, but then they have you go thru the same level section 3 times!

I was going to buy an X-Box for my dorm room (With Halo for the X-Box) for multiplayer, but after playing Halo on the PC, I know that the equally price PS2 is looking very nice.

This is awfully true, and I hope Valve don't see things this way, and keep on focusing on HL2, not CS:S. Whilst I'll enjoy CS:S, it's not much fun after the 3rd year of repetitive gameplay with a community cemented with morons, and I hope that steps will be made to wein players elsewhere.

:cheers: Well, if thet release Half Life 2 for the Xbox, them Halo fanboys that think Halo is like the best game ever... will most likely have a change of mind.

 

[Cyber$nake]

really the xbox hl2 probably wont look nearly as good as the pc version. Most likely the'l also release hl2 on next gen consoles

 

[Tiddalick]

Consoles = Racing, Adventure, etc

PCs = RTS, FPS, etc

each should stick to what they are better suited for...
I don't understand how anyone can play a FPS on a console unless they make the enemies REALLY STUPID or give you GOD LIKE powers. Aiming, movement all suffer with a control set that colsoles use.

FPS have always been about 40% aiming and 60% movement...you simply cant do this on a console.

FPS on consoles is like the special olympics compared to FPS on PC.
(Not that anything is wrong with the special olympics, (having been to watch the games when it was in Sydney) but I think it gets what I am trying to say well)

 

[Dynasty]

you have a point, but the PS2 has the ability to use a mouse...still, i think if hl2 did come out on xbox or cs:s was focused upon too much by valve, they would have the world to answer to. even more to me, as ive bought upgrades to suite hl2's needs (went from a xp2000+, 215mb RAM, FX5600 256mb - what is listed below). im not about to have that money waisted coz the development was crap. tho looking at the latest E3 movies...im gonna be a happy player.

xbox SHOULD burn in hell, and PS2 shouldnt burn as much, just lit and then blown out...

glad to see ppl agree with me, and that aren't as many xbox fan boys as i thought
