Actually the PC gamers would have the advantage because a mouse can move WAY faster then a not sojoyfulstick. Also the PC gamers could hack ti easily. Also the xbox auto aim is not like an aimbot at all. All it does is that it somewhat follows the player.


-Skidrow

that is what we call aiming magnetism.

True. Or aim-assist. Or on-board aimbot.


-Skidrow

How about you forget about cross platforming... Also nice 4 day old quote skidrow. I would rather have h3 for pc than reach anyway. I just think itd be more fun to mod.

can't change it. xD
Also Halo 3? can't you let some mapping/modding team just remake it for Halo Reach PC?

Isn't that a better idea, since Halo Reach has been built with more features. :D

(also port Halo 1 and Halo 2's campaign. xD)

I know but the majority of the people will blame their defeat, since mouses are better then controllers, on the auto aim feature anyway. It doesn't matter to them that that person may actually be better then them. I wish there was a way to turn it off it is rather annoying when it aims at someone you aren't aiming for - someone walks or flies by by some cause (man cannon, an explosion or otherwise).

I thought that you could turn aim assist off. If so it is probably under the options. As I have never played Halo 3 I do not know where to find it.


-Skidrow

Why did aim assist get implemented for consoles anyway?

Pc gamers arent that great on console, its true, unless you play both constantly. Im great at console, im heaps good, but on pc im average, im only "average" on pc because i play it occasionally with my friends at school during tech classes, we play lan at the end of the period cos the teacher lets us (hees cool), BUT im saying, PC gamers stand little chance on console, same with Console, Console gamers suck on PC unless they have a natural feel to it. So ODX dont exactly say PC gamers will obliterate console, because console is alot more straight forward and considering ALOT of pc gamers use aimbot, which isnt on console completely adds a new factor. -.-

That way if your scrolling over your target to shoot, you dont overdo it, and it helps to stick to your target.

What do you mean by 'straight forward?' And no, not "ALOT" of people on PC's use an aimbot. I rarely(meaning I still do, but not very often) run into any of them playing games like TF2, CoD4/WaW/MW2, BC2, even Halo CE.

I understand you're "PC players suck on console and console players suck on PC" though. That's why I really liked playing Halo 3 though, it just felt like the ideal console shooter. It wasn't too hardcore, it was slower paced, you can tell what all the weapons are, and aiming isn't impossible (though people did whine there was 'too much' autoaim, I find Reach to work pretty well too though).

Bringing Reach to PC and cross-consoling might work though, even if PC players can aim better. Bloom, which works pretty well, stops PC players from keeping dead-on shots because even they have to wait, which gives a console player time to aim as well.

The crazy player limits I did mention should be disabled for cross-platform games,
I just don't see console gamers enjoying 4> player co-op even though Halo 1 Xbox and Halo 2 Xbox can handle it, plus think about their ram limitation.

For those who wish to have a little more, or crazy gameplay^, go join some modded servers. :D
4> Firefight versus and other modes with higher players.

I'd like to see player limits higher only for PC players and PC restricted servers.
I hope everyone understands.

Limiting players' experiences based on what platform they have.
Totally cool guise, amirite?

yeah, it will probably give more incentive for console gamers to buy the PC version, if they choose so.
Who would buy the same game for another platform, if there is no improvement?
PC games should always be better than their console counterpart.

GTA IV may not be cross-platform but 16 player limit for console and 32 limit for PC, that's how it should work. :D + mods xD

I have an xbox 360 and have all the halos...almost, i preordered reach, and i still play stalker, bioshock, and the modern warefares on steam more than halo!

i also hope it comes to pc,as i simply cant afford the xbox.so safe to say that unless it comes to pc all i will see of this game is either screenshots or video content.untill then i will stick with hcustom
wether it gets any attention or not i have signed :)
Edited by cytronix on Aug 13, 2010 at 12:36 PM

you saw how amazing the graphics in reach are, honestly, everyone would be better off spending 200 bucks on an xbox instead of 500 or more on parts to make reach work.

yeah ive saw it and the graphics look awesome but as much as want to go and buy the xbox my motorcycle has to come first.im a gamer for life but an adrenaline junkie also :)

erm. ok.
is it gonna over power a PC? must be some crappy port you're thinking of.

hell i can run crysis on my 2 and a half year old 800 rig(which would be 400 now) so unless u got integrated, then nvm. but with the 300 or so bucks ur gonan spend u can get a 100 dolalr video card,25 dolalr kit of ram, new cpu, and maybe a new hd along with the game. u jsut gotta know where u gotta buy :P

some image found on Bungie.net to display the sadness in Halo on PC fans.


Edited by Shock120 on Aug 17, 2010 at 02:35 PM

^^ To bad Im both Xbox and PC owner

Nice lol.

But PC gamers actually have WAY WAY more maps. Think about it. Can you make totally custom stuff with a console? nope. Also Someone I know says that H3 and such were not for PC cause they figured PC gamers could make the content for HCE.


-Shotguns

or, make Halo 1 and Halo 2 content for Halo 3/Reach PC.
That's better enough reason why they would never make it.
that means your more of a Xbox 360 Halo fan than a Halo on PC fan. lawl. xD
j/k, Halo on PC is better.

While halo 3 has hundreds of thousands of custom maps made in forge, hale CE has thousands of maps, 20% are bloodgulch.

But take into account that a lot of forge maps are terrible too, not every forge map is good. A lot are just like, "LOL I MADE A BOX AND PUT ALL THE SPAWNS INSIDE AND ALSO FUSION COILS DROP FROM THE SKY LOL OK"

well i think they wont release if for pc, bungie is moving on to another game if it isto be ported to pc it would have to be done by microsoft or 343, which i doubt they would do. look at halo wars its a RTS game, which is good for PC, but they didnt ported it to the pc.

unfortantley i doubt it would happen, heck i preordered halo reach for the 360 but if it came for pc i'd by it and play it more. Shooters are meant for pc not some gay little Duel Stick controllers. a Mouse is the real way to game!

I don't count forge as maps, nor do I count any of the edits to be even remotely good. The forge tools ruin some great creative minds into thinking so narrowly on how game development works. I have seen many creative people think that maps are made in computer programs like forge, it drives me insane.

I'm not saying that forge doesn't have any good tools, though the lack of them and custom content is what holds it back. Reach, promising more tools and a snapping grid gives even more control, but it still pales in comparison to what should be in it.

I know the reference is going to make me seem a little biased, but the mod for the half life 2 engine (Source) called Garry's Mod, most of you I know have at least heard of it, has unlimited possibilities. I show that to my friends that play halo 3 and mess around in forge a lot, and they get right off their couch and buy it.

I also find myself explaining some things about forge that people find they are missing, such as, in Halo 3's forge, the lack of a no collide / collision disable function. Given that I think that xbox users aren't necessarily 'Advanced' users, the tools in the new Reach forge (Forge 2.0) have a set of 'Advanced' tools, these tools are basic tools such as grid snapping and inputting XYZ grid points. Though those tools are basic tools in any other program made for PC users.

I guess it boils down that, I don't want to put it as narrowly minded as this, but PC gamers simply have a bigger variety in tools for games.

Though with the downside making developers / publishing companies want to turn away from PC releases is because of out right piracy. Piracy then makes the developers put DRM software built in, which does nothing but inconvenience the standard, law abiding, consumer, while piracy will get past any DRM that can be made.


If you didn't care for reading, basicly stated:

Forge has less ability than other PC tools, giving great creative minds a narrow outlook on developing.
Also that DRM serves no purpose and anything the company does, pirates can undo.

i have to agree on you with that. in my opinion FPS games are meant for to be played with a mouse, racing games are to be played with a analog stick or joy stick, RTS games are for mouse, fighting games like street fighter are meant for console controllers!!!

THIS IS MY OPINION OF HOW GAME SHOULD BE!!!!!

feel free to express yourself if you think I'm wrong.

Halo wars was designed purposely for the console though, they removed a lot of the micro managing you do on the PC for RTS's and dumbed down the resource system, removed building/resource gathering units and simplified the building procedure in favor of a more quick streamlined game, without all the little bells and whistles you get on a normal PC RTS. If they ported it to PC it'd just be boring.

Halo in PC is waaay more difficult and fun to play than other XB360 Halo..
1. Lag: U have to deat ALWAYS with the lag
2. Aiming: U have to hum.. predict the movement of ur oponent
3. HS's: Waaaaaaaaay more difficult in HCE PC
4. Badass bot guy: When u r playing in a excelent way, u own so much, then a bot appear...
you know what's next
5. Custom maps: For every age, religion, sexual preferences and so...
6. Because we told so ^-^

yeah, but maybe when Windows Avogadro's Edition comes out... because W7 will not be enought... think

I have only seen maybe 10 bots in my 2 years of playing halo. When you encounter them, you simply quit. There is no reason to try to fight a botter.

oh but there is a reason, kick his noobish ass, is too simple, just snipe him hahaha and yeah in 1.00 is way much bots, there are so much that if u r a good player in some kinda irish-luckspree they blame u bot hahaha and no, quiting actually quits the fun, example, server in CMT_Snowgrove CE:CombatExperts[24\7].... it is the only cmt decent server and i wont let some noob break my fun
