Halo - An entertaining space/combat FPS game
Authored by: basti_k on Jan 20, '04 02:54:44AM

i've always liked bungie's games: abuse, pathways, marathon (4 diskettes version), durandal, infinity. but halo really rocks, although it's an M$ game. and in runs great on my 2x1.25 G4 w/ ATI Radeon 9000 Pro. what sucks? gamepad support!!!

That's funny, most people who play the XBox version (including myself) will tell you that the thing that sucks about it most is that you have to play it WITH a gampad! I really looked forward to playing it on my Mac with a mouse and keyboard. I actually use a Belkin Nostromo N50 SpeedPad to replace the keyboard, but in my opinion, nothing is better than a mouse for aiming and shooting in FPSs.

I agree! My gameplay over the Xbox version was excelled when using the mouse/keyboard combo. I finished the game in a day, as opposed to week with Xbox version. And I love the resolution over the TV screen's. Just look at the ammo belt of the Warthog..or its gauges when you back up!

you could get a USB-Xbox controller adapter (Xbox game pads are USB...just typical Microsoft monopolistic adapter) and play. I did this with my Athlon system.

BTW, the images and play are far better than the Xbox version. Problem is, they should have created the games to work with Xbox Live players...what a Halo frag that would be!

Oh, expect Halo 2 for xbox this April (in time for E3). I would be Halo 2 for Mac in..2005-2006 the latest.

Uhm, Halo Xbox doesn't support Xbox Live... Halo 2 will, but I expect there to be radical differences in the game play.

I think it's a very good thing that the game doesn't work with the xbox version, any xbox games would have to be limited to just the maps, vehicles, and weapons that the xbox supports. As someone who is in their prime on Timberland, I would be very disappointed with that.

Keep in mind, the computer version can be updated, the xbox version can't.
