Halo's Release
by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 11, 2000 2:18pm PDTThere's a story about the release of Bungie's Halo on Inside Mac Games. According to info from Apple, Halo will be released for Microsoft's X-box and the Mac OS simultaneously, and not with the X-box first as may have been thought. No word on the PC release, but you'd think it would be the same time as well.
update Matt sends word of this update on Halo Vault
I think this "announcement" is the product of some overzealous copywriting over at Apple, or at least someone with only vague memories of what was said on stage at the Expo.
As far as I know, we can't guarantee a simultaneous release on all platforms right now. I wish it were otherwise. If it happens, you'll hear it from us, not from Apple eNews.

M$ got such a 'shitstorm' over pissed off gamers about the possibility that 'Halo' would be an X-box exclusive that they started developing a separate game based on the same 'halo engine'.
Halo was going to the the 'Tribes' of Bungie.... a sleeper hit... but the quality of the game demonstrations impressed WAY too many people... and obviouly some ppl at MicroSoft.... ;)
The game Halo will be simutainiously (try spelling that when drunk ;) on the X-box, PC, and Mac. The 'gore level' will be an option on the 'puter platforms and NOT an option on the X-box.
===================================================================
Now. My personal thoughts about HALO and about what it should be..
1) Server based... the 'net model of Quake and its independent servers is the best model. Support for the independent servers is CRITICAL for Halo's success.
2) The Servers should be CLEARLY labed by skill levels.... ex. newbie, moderate, experienced, bad mofos', ect. ;)
3)The Servers should also be identified as LOW ping or HIGH ping... and the Servers should have the ability to set paramaters accordingly.
Just thinking about Halo.... sorta...
Play RA3 if you got the skillz.... I have 'em good enough to compete...
i detest them
but i DO recognise theyre good interface, i'd like to know them a bit better to be honest but there's no mac os 8+ emu for PC.
I think they are good for "mom and pop"to browse and email though I must adimt...
as for daggah being a troll, spose I am too, cause I express my opinion just as heavily when it comes to q3 (engine, no game content, load of shit) and Doom(s) (id's best software so far, and after these they went downhill INCLUDING Q1)

I'd buy PSX2, if at all, because it's a proven platform whose licensees have turned out quality material in the previous version (PSX). I haven't been a fan of either Sega or Nintendo since the 16-bit versions of each, at which point I discovered PC gaming and never looked back. And Metal Gear Solid looks quite impressive..... not that Halo doesn't, but it's coming out for a system that I _care_ about.
We'll see..... the X-Box might be dope, but I'm not buying into the hyper as readily as Redmond or Bungie might like.

I mean, even the things that they SAY they are good at or better than PC's aren't true now. The community also tries to say that it's all user friendly and shit, but it really isn't that much, except maybe hooking the machine up. The things like "think different" coupled with all the bullshit PR for macs just makes me dislike them more and more each day. Not to mention the blind followers of mac's like a friend of mine.

a worthless battle

Talk about messing up things, not only does Microsoft fuck it up for PC users in their selfish conquest to monopolize the console market, they bias the release date for Macintosh as well.
So, so stupid.
