OXM Says: Halo 2.5 Coming to Xbox 2

[Wolffen]

since when was Halo 2 (a game designed with a set console limit to its graphics) made with a scalable engine?

Actually, I was pulling that from what the insider said in the story in my first post. I'm inclined to take what they said at face value, since Bungie was able to produce in-game screen shots at resolutions of up to 1600x1200 resolution. I'll amend what I said though: IN THEORY, Halo 2 was designed the same way.

If it continues and finishes the story, its not the same game. Why cant your meager brain compute this? And speaking as someone who paid forty dollars for Opposing Force, I can say that sometimes the right additions are worth paying for.

And then I said generally if games continue the story they are called sequels and given new titles.



(edit: if if if if if if if if if if if. As I said before, this probably isn't even true and there are so many ifs so I really don't know how to debate this.)

So are you using this to say that this wont continue the story? Seems pretty tenuous to me. And if you are not, then youre just arguing over semantics.

...I would rather have an enhanced version of Halo 1 with next-gen textures, 60FPS and dual weilding...

Thank you, sir.

They should do Halo 2x (a la Tony Hawk 2x), 1 + 2 in the same package with beefed-up graphics and elements from 2 integrated into 1, plus some new bonuses (online co-op, new multiplayer maps). Nobody'd have too hard a time justifying that purchase.

Now this is a fine suggestion. Actually a very very very fine suggestion.

Remake of last-gen's best game?

Yet another reason to doubt XB2 will succeed.

So I can't help but be skeptical. Is this official, or...? I never read that site.

He's right, though.

They're different games that do different things.

I love Half Life 2, but it doesn't mean I don't want to play any other FPS that comes out.

Yeah, you guys are dumb sometimes.

They're both FPS' and by this common ground are comparable. Also, I didn't disagree in my statement at the time, I just said go for it, because nobody would care.

I know. Sometimes it feels like people aren't allowed to like two games at once, though.
