I tried the Demo. Not all that. Looking forward to the DX9 optimized titles.


Flame away, but I find HALO for PC to be a hunk of CRAP!

Look at the gamespot.com reviews for example, compared to Max Payne 2
(something I DO suggest you play instead). Both of them received 9.0 from
the reviewers, yet the user reviews give halo a 7.4 or something,  and max
payne 2 a 9.4...

Aside from Mafia, I abhor 3rd person shooters.  I have however heard
nothing but great things about Max Payne 2.  Apparently the gameplay
and story intertwine even better than in the first one.

The first Max Payne was so corny - the whole Matrix (which sucked) rip-off
thing was so pathetic.

There's a bunch of command line options described in the readme. I had
a sneaking suspicion the refreshrates might be the problem as I first
got 'windowed mode' to work.

I went ahead and picked it up when I went to BB to get my headset for
TeamSpeak.  They had it on sale, so I said why not :)

I've traditionally not been into these sorts of games.  I prefer
simulations.  But I installed it at around 6pm on Saturday (right after the
race),  and I didn't look at the clock for hours :)

anyone besides myself having real issues with the jerkiness in the mouse
control?

    I'm not having any problems but here is a page that
seems to cover setting up the game. Don't see anything
about mouse problems but might be some help.
