The copy is only good to play single player, if only because that's what was leaked, and bearing in mind that you would need an modded xbox to play the game, and can you guess what wont work on XBLive??
correct answer a modded Xbox (at least not in modded mode)
And bugger me if I don`t want to be kicking real peoples ass with the plasma sword.
On the subject of overly repetative FPS what about game that you walk from one room to the next. When you enter a room, all the lights go out and some zombies crawl out of the woodwork.
Doom 3 didn`t appeal to me with its fancy guns and pretty animations.
That said I like halo, something about the way you put your life into the hands of someone who isn`t old enough to drive, and yet you hop into their warthog and wait to be blasted about 200 foot into the air by a stray rocket...
A good design should take into account requirements.
And it would appear that one of the requirements on xbox-live is that everyone should have a unique gamertag. Probably so we can claim bragging rights/fame/notoriety etc. And people do get attached to their nicks
Anyhoo the unique gamertag was sold as one of XBLs features, and unless you work for MS-XBL and can give us an insight, then we don`t know if it is a "design" or a "requirements" issue.
Have you not been reading the words that I type, or are you imagining someother conversation.
I KNOW that all the gamertages are different, that's how the whole thing is meant to work.
Which, if you took the time to read and understand, is EXACTLY what I said. If you have to have a unique, then why not the gamertags, it's is what the gamers identify themselves as, which was the point that I was arguing to the parent posts.
I was also stating that if you are fragbastard then your frieds should know that you are fragbastard and not frag_bastard.
None of this confuses me, but when you can understand some of the bigger words you can join in anytime

The Tolkien estate will be sueing World of Warcraft and Everquest cos you can dress up as elves.
HG Well is suing Planetside for generic use of Sci-fi.
I fact I'm gonna sue the rest of humanity for looking vaguely like me (two arms, two legs head, torso)
You better start paying up...

"I played halo 2 on the PC "
erm no I don`t think you did
Anyhoo this isn`t a PC release, it's on the xbox apples != oranges

Rockstar game not wanting to be outdone by the mighty Microsoft marketing machine, clearly followed in their lead by allowing a copy to be leaked.
Next there will be a movie advert with a link to a website www.ilovecriminalorganisations.com, just you watch

Now I'm gonna have to complete Halo 2 in a week, and I can only play in the evenings as I have used all my holidays up.
Time for a fortnight long sicky methinks

it wont affect Bungies release date, but it will be a good excuse to delay HL2 some more

Bear in mind that you would need a modded xbox to run it on.

Now instead of just faking up my ID, I can steal someone elses. All it takes is enough drink and the right students.
