So did anyone listen to the bungie podcast today?

All I remember from Bungies announcement of them seperating from MS was that they lost the rights to the Halo IP. I'm not one to know much about who would then get rights to the code of games based on the Halo IP, but I guess it is possible for Bungie to have rights to it. Its not like MS would want to restrict Bungies rights to a now ancient game, they're too worried about selling xboxes and making the next halo

I don't think you understand the nature of Microsoft. They are like animals - extremely territorial with their products. The moment they foresee a loss of a fucking dollar in profits, they hype up. Fucking greedy bastards.

thats exactly why they shut down Ensemble and let bungie go solo...oh wait..

It doesn't need to be fixed, there's already a lag less net code programed for it on some drive at GBX.

I haven't heard or seen anything about this.

What'chyou talkin' 'bout Willis?

The GBX broadband-only netcode that MS wouldn't let them use because they wanted Halo to be 56K-compatible.

They also have all the original Halo shaders for the Covie shields, Jackal shields, the flag, Assault Rifle, Fuel Rod Gun, and force fields that Microsoft also made them remove to keep the game friendly with Fixed Function cards.

Game was badly optimized for it's generation anyway, if anything the extra eye candy would of probably made it a tad harder :/
