Buyer's Remorse - An open letter to the devs of H2V

[randreach454]

The letter is... perfect... just about it really..
Good luck getting through though, I wish the best..

[supersniper]

There isn't really anything else that could be said that isn't already inside that letter. It describes every aspect of the game in great detail. It is a well written letter and surely should get through. (hopefully they don't just ignore it because with this letter it could help save H2 vista.)

Good work on it!

Low settings.

Not necessarily; my notebook can run Vista flawlessly (and most of my video games quite well), and yet even on lowest detail and lowest resolution, I can still barely play H2V. I get 15FPS if I'm lucky and I happen to be staring directly at a wall. As soon as a single enemy goes on my screen it drops to 5fps. A slideshow is NOT a video game. I mean, I can run FEAR Combat at 30FPS on medium settings!

Of course, my notebook isn't a major gaming system, but come ON! I should be able to run H2V on lowest settings at 30FPS or more, right?

Anyways, I agree with everything in that letter. I support this document.

What Bungie thinks? Why, they think its Halo 2 of course! If you know what I mean.

Forge was a compromise. The Bungie Way.

I'm sure the developers for the port are MORE than aware of the problem...s. They were, are, there every step of the way. But do you think they have any room to talk? They're a Hired Gun. They're paid to do what they're told. You can't get angry with people doing their fucking job.

Also, petitions don't do shit, I hope you realize that.

I love u Korn.

But i still Choose to hope that my Part inth e petition Has some impact, relevance in Reviving a Game i have waited for since i first played Halo PC.

I'm realistic, but i still have my Hope.

H2V just gives me a solid picture of what the future of Halo would be like fully in the hands of microsoft with Bungie no longer in control. If bungie was in charge of the port (not having to developing it, but at least just made the decisions in it's development and taking responsibility for it), there is no way they would let their heart and soul (which they have sold) be torn apart by a sloppy release, virtually no support, and a torn apart and alienated fanbase/community.

The sad part is, I don't consider myself a pessimist, but I was predicting this all along, starting from the announcement of h2v. I was strongly hoping my expectations would be proven wrong, but at least I'm not let down as the game has come to meet my expectations.

The problem in my eyes that made the port so sloppy, was the fact that it took them so long after the xbox release to announce a port, then they really kind of rushed it out, it just seemed time flew by from the point they announced it, to the time I bought it.
The whole time thing was most likely due to Halo 3 already being announced but still, timing and patience = win or loss..

[Sakievich]

H2V makes me sad. So much that could've been, will never be. Tragically Gears of War for PC will also be using Windows Live...

But UT3 makes me happy. And their wide open editing kit makes me very very happy.

Please add my name to your letter of disappointment.

[FRain]

Add me up on the list.

Seriously, Hired Gun really skrew'd over Halo 2 for Vista, that's why I don't play it anymore.


It'd look like:

Community Failure
Content Developer
H3T Lead

(hey, I like failing)

[Kornman00]

Yes, thats right, because we should be directly blaming the developers who were brought together by a larger entity to do the port...

I thought guns don't kill people?

[Patrickssj6]

The soldiers carrying the guns do.
