Video gamers (Halo 2)
I just pre-ordered it. Has anyone heard anything about it? Any reviews from magazines or anything?

1. It should be good if you have an xbox.
I don't have one and don't want one. I am psyched for Killzone on PS2.

7. Doom 3 ported to Xbox
Don't get your hopes up too high.

From the reviews I've read, the porting from PC to Xbox is going to be ugly and clumsy.

I'm going to rent it before I decide whether to buy it.

10. That wouldn't surprise me.
My machine won't run anything new anymore so I am pretty much stuck with the XBox until I decide I want to invest in a new computer, and I really don't think the Xbox has the same capabilities of a high end PC processor, but I still have GOT to get that game. I was fricken addicted to the other two. Wolfenstein and Doom 2 were what got me addicted to 1st p shooters to begin with.

8. I was a Killzone beta tester.
I really loved the game. We only got to play online. They made 3 maps and 8 mission types available to us. it seams like a more solid game than Battlefront.

3. Every single Xbox owner is waiting for this game
I get GMR magazine and the reviews are great.

Multiplayer across the Internet, more weapons and best of all, you can hijack vehicles from Covenent creatures. And they can hijack vehicles from you.

5. Sweet. I'ver been waiting forever.
On the preview that comes with Halo 1, the new standard-issue rifle looks AWESOME. I really do need to invest in xbox live.

6. Rifle improvement
Instead of a click once for 2X zoom and click twice for 10X zoom on the scope, you click once and then use the directional keypad to zoom in like in most games.

I'm looking forward to being able to use weapons in both hands at the same time. There's nothing like tearing up an enemy with two barrels blazing.

9. Right on
Edited on Fri Sep-24-04 05:05 PM by shylock1579
I saw that too, that is going to kick ass. Dunno if you ever played Perfect Dark for N64 back when it was cool, but you get to guns in your hands and you could TEAR ASS.

Also, it drives me nuts that whenever I am zoomed, and I get hit in the shield, I automaticall zoom out and have to re-align my sights. Physically, it makes sense, but it still drives me crazy.

11. Then don't get hit
;)

I've gotten good at zooming in, shooting and then zooming out.

I don't get hit anymore when I use the scope, even on legendary level.
