Halo for the PC and Mac

smelialichu writes "According to this news article, Halo is finally on its way to the PC and Mac. Gearbox is handling the PC version, and Westlak Interactive is working on the Mac version, but it won't be released untill next summer. The official announcement says "Halo for PC is expected to be available in summer 2003. The Macintosh version is also expected to be available in 2003. Additional information regarding game content, features and enhancements will be announced at a later date." We can only assume they have some cool new features up their sleeves, maybe we'll be seeing Halo with even better graphics, optimized for the new Radeon? Anyway, this is certainly a huge relief to many gamers who thought they may never see Halo on their home PC's."

    To all my dear friends who gloated that the long-awaited Halo would only be available on their beloved tool of corporate domination, I have but one thing to say.
    I got a new hat.

    There's nothing sweeter than when you notice someone describing something as stupid, dumb, ignorant, etc, and they mispell the word meant to degrade.

    And no, 'b' is not near 'd'.

  3. Karma numbers by Animats · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    Yeah, that "excellent" rating thing sucks. I miss the numbers.

    The rules for karma have changed several times in the last year. Originally, there was no karma cap. I was up to almost 200. Then there was a karma cap, but your old karma points didn't go away at once. They just leaked away slowly, because, above the karma cap, you could lose points, but never gain them. Now, I suspect that the numeric values have been capped, and the "Excellent" thing is to hide the karma loss.

    Yes, Slashdot management likes to bitch about "karma whores", but from the people behind VA Linux, that's hollow.
