PC halo question

[Twisted J]

will you be able to play halo on your xbox against people who are playing on the pc?

[Batman2372]

No, you won't be able to. Different operating systems, different transmitting protocols. Sorry.

What Batman said is true. Even while playing Halo on Gamespy, anyone in North America can't even play people located in the UK or in Australia because their XBoxes are encoded with PAL.

Wow, didn't even think about that, Max. Surely Microsoft has pondered this and has come up with a solution for their online scheme.

Sucky, sucky.

Didn't they make the Dreamcast able to play against people on PC's with Quake III?

[Batman2372]

I was never able to do it. As far as I know, that was just a vicious rumor.

Dude Quake 3 on the Dreamcast did work on the net with PC Quake 3

That's what I thought. I seem to remember hearing about Dreamcast players complaining about the controls compared to the PC players using a mouse and keyboard.

I think technically we could do it with the Xbox and PC versions but I think the XOL network will be locked down to only work with the Xbox.

I can help you with the PAL question mate:
PAL (640 lines) TV Signal
NTSC (520 lines)TV signal
both have different screen refresh rates too
PAL 50hz (Europe & Australia)
NTSC 60hz (US & Japan)

I would bet not... because from the way it looks, Halo Combat Evolved and Halo PC look like two diferent versions! Like, the master chief guys look different

you're probably talking about the old PC clips, before they switched to working on it for Xbox. As far as i have heard, the PC version that is to be released will be the same as Xbox.
