Halo 2 Goes Gold

edited November 2004 in Science & Tech
Bungie has announced that Halo 2 has gone gold today.
They said it couldn't be done! Actually, they didn't say that, but if they had, we'd have proved them all (the fake people who didn't say anything) wrong! Halo 2 has gone gold. We finished every line of code, every pixel of art, every frame of animation, every phoneme of dialog and every note of music. We finished it when we said we would (when it was done) and shipped that baby right on time to make its November launch date. And we're kinda proud of it. We think it's "fun." "Gone Gold" is a somewhat archaic expression, since the "gold discs" are actually digital tapes and eventually silver discs. But it certainly feels golden. This basically means that the game has been shipped to retail manufacture. Somewhere in the world, a gigantic DVD pressing factory has started making Xbox game discs with the utterly complete version of Halo 2. Maybe there IS a gold disc somewhere. Perhaps it's time for an epic quest!

    No, it isn't -- not to me.

    I played XBoX for one thing: Knights of the Old Republic. The instant it hit the PC, I abandoned my friend's XBoX.

    I would gladly play Halo 2 if it came to the PC without being slower than molasses in winter in both delivery scheduling and performance.

    No one said that. It just may be a while, like the other Halo. It's gotta sell a few XBoxes first.

    As I've said many times before, I'm definitely a console gamer. It's just how I got into gaming, and I enjoy it much more.

    Though I'm not going to try to push it on anybody. It's your choice. I don't know if I can make it another 28 days though. Aaaahhhh!! :D

    I e-mailed one of the guys at bungie and asked if it were coming out for P.C. He didn't mail back :( But if someone knew how to port Halo 2 to the P.C. then buy the disk AND PORT IT so you can play it on p.c. also XBox live is expensive and well I don't like aiming with a Control stick it's just that mouses work better. INTERNET IS CHEAP ON PCS!

    I'm sure they get that question many times a day. That's probably why they won't answer. Also, no single person is going to be able to "port" the game to PC. That takes code changes, which means Bungie would have to do it. Look around the internet for your question. If you can't find a definite answer, that means there probably isn't one yet.

    Well since Halo 2 is created for Xbox which uses DirectX, then porting it to PC should be a doddle most games are made using it or openGL.
    I'm sure microsoft will squeeze every penny out of it and at present they recently relased an update to Halo for PC. I think believe they want to bask in the glory a bit before having to work hard at porting what is going to be a succesful game i'm sure

    Halo2 won't come out on the pc until they've sold every possible xbox and game they can. Than when the money runs out on that...presto, all of a sudden it's coming to the pc! They make twice the money that way. After all...who would buy an xbox if they knew they could get it for the pc in a little while?

    its a real pain that they have to promote the xbox like they do. it just shows that the xbox can't sell by it self and they have to use unfair marketing. i know that pc games can be 10x better then consol games.
    the only reson halo looks better on the xbox then the pc was that bill gates and co. asked Bungie to downgrade halo for pc

    also for those who know the xbox all ready has a dvd player in it. all the card does (the one u have to buy) is tell the xbox that there is a card there and compleat the circuit to allow the dvd player to turn on. what this means is that a card that has 3 pins on it is what u are being charged for.
