Not much work would be needed to read GD-ROM's, just custom firmware AFAIK. They would have to have gone with a DVD drive, anything else would have been madness.Quote:

Where? There isn't any open real estate inside the Black Bomber. I seem to recall that the compactness of the DC is what makes it run hot when its on for significant amounts of time.Quote:

I find this highly suspicious.Quote:

Not my idea, just forceof habbit after reading it so oten. :pQuote:

Yeah, but who knows what might have happened had Bungie stayed independent, Halo released a bit earlier and for PC and MAC as planned (far earlier than those platforms got) and using opengl as originally intended. But more importantly, what might have followed that game?Quote:
...I mean, Bungie seem to be doing alright for themselves. You want utterly evil (comic exaggeration...) companies? EA gobbled up many, many unique studios in their time; Maxis, Westwood, Bullfrog, all the stars of the 90s.
Most likely, Bungie would've invented one or two new IP's and created some gloriously innovative titles in the process, instead of spending an entire decade solely on the milking of a single franchise.
Truthfully, milking that "Marathon" offshoot for a decade is better than working on a game for 12+ years and (still) having nothing to show for it.
but ... but I always bet on Duke :(Quote:
