Again, about Halo:
If MS hadn't bought Bungie out, Mac users would be playing Halo in September 2001, PC users later the same year. They were near completing the game too, when MS tossed the project in the bin to sell X-Box instead.
Not to mention the game's original ideas for greatness have been utterly ruined.
Did you know how the multiplayer was to be? Everyone connected to one server in one large world and fought against the continuing alien attacks. This means we need constant 24/7 defenses, or the aliens gain ground.
We could make decitions like nuking an area or such, but the nature consequences remained FOR EVER.
It was to be the greatest game of all time...now we have an outdated, feature-ruined game-port.
So no thanks, I'm sticking with the new games...
