Excellent. http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

By the way, the 9/11 reference is confusing to Americans who use the month/day/year format instead of the day/month/year used by most of the world. http://forums.windrivers.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I'm tempted to buy it, but I still feel a little burned by the pc port of halo. Wonder when/if this one will be released on pc? And if it is, will it suck like the first?

FOr first time players of Halo on PC, like myself, it was a pretty good game RD! I currently want to get my hands on Doom3, FarCry, cant wait for the next GTA! and a new Command and Conquer game.

But it ran like garbage! I consider my machine to be VERY high end, but it still ran like a 2 legged dog

Halo 2 was a sloppy port to the PC version...it was so much more fun on the xbox. yeah..the PC version had a few more features...but it just wasnt the same...the xbox version was superior

What were the new features?

[delmer_1]

there were a few new multiplayer levels
the warthog with the rocket launcher
the ability to use the banshee in multiplayer
a new weapon

I found this following TechZ's thread about the Doom 3 demo.

http://ducttape.glenmurphy.com/


Under the crazy presumption that a roll of duct tape has to exist somewhere on the Mars facility, the Duct Tape mod sticks flashlights to your machinegun and shotgun.

In order to preserve the atmosphere, these new lights are much narrower (and a little brighter) than the standard flashlight, and are only available on the basic weapons.

The pistol is not equipped with a flashlight, so as not to spoil the early sections of the game.

What was the new weapon? I never finished it on PC since it ran so bad
