Why?

BUNGIE.

**** THEM. They sold us all out. Halo was playable on a B&W g3, and it was almost done, then MS just waved a check at them and they forgot WHO made them a successful company, who supported them, and who loved them. I had purchased marathon1, 2, and infinity.

Since they betrayed us, I shall never spend a DIME on anything bungie puts out. EVER.

UT2004 on the other hand, will be great, and I shall buy it.

Hey, that looks like you, only not quite as fat.

Anyway, does anyone know if a no cd crack is avail for halo 1.03? Just wondering.

PS: I'd pay $40 for a PIRATED version of halo that worked, but I don't want such a ****ing sell out company to get any of my money.

How about $10 more for the full version that works, maroon? It's amazing that you're not some Internet bot, or 14 years old. What's amazing is that you act like such a teenage baby over such stupid sh*t like this�and you're serious about it�and you're actually in your twenties and married.

Anyway, you know you can't talk pirating stuff in here. This is gonna get the lock-down. Were you really serious?

busket68-

Why play Halo at all if Bungie rubs you the wrong way? If UT2004 is so great why not play that (I like Halo very much but I haven't played it at all since the UT2004 Demo came out and I became addicted to ONS). What's the complaint? I am surprised they did as good a port as they did for Halo and for that Microsoft deserves some kudos (it is equally as sluggish on a pc it seems). What exactly did Bungie "sell-out" anyway? MS offered the founders allot of money and they took it. If the $40 that a game costs can get you all riled up, I tend to think that if Microsoft dropped 10 million bucks in your lap you would
take it.

And FYI, the Halo you saw on a B&W G3 is not the Halo that exists today. In the future do you think the gaming industry is going to care it was Microsoft that was the company that had the most pirated game in Mac history? Nope, they will look at the statistics Microsoft will be all too happy to make public that shows how bad piracy is on the Mac platform, using Halo as an example. Impressive strategy you've got there to get even with Bungie. In the coming years you can play UT2005 on a PC when that is all it is released for.

This whole 'Halo is worth playing but not worth paying for' thing is starting to get a little old, guys. Could you possibly move on to beating some other dead horse?
