I think it needed the "When it's available on the PC" option to make this a valid poll

I don't think anybody would be stupid enough to buy the PC version straight away and suffer the DRM hell that many new PC games are suffering from... most people have learnt to wait now.

First I thougt I had missed some new and important programming tool, but then I found out that it's only a computer game...
|
|
|
|
|
Then it looked like saying 'Hello' to 'Halo'.

Yeah! We only talk about important things here! Fun is for the weak!

Why not create a poll on dataacess layers ?
Wisdom is often meant as the ability and desire to make choices that can gain approval in a long-term examination by many people.

Because they HAVE to support Microsoft otherwise...

What is Halo 3 anyways? It is a sickness or something? I've never heard of it
|
|
|
|
|
No, seriously, this is inappropriate.

How do you reckon?

I thought it was a dumb-a$$ subject, but, since I was interested in maybe starting some RPG again, I didn't shoot at the question.
BUT!
What do I see this morning? AM New York - a free daily newspaper (like the Metro) which has a daily survey.* What's the questions? "Will you buy the 'Halo' 3 Video Game?"
This must really be a big thing - which I didn't even know existed until the poll. I've still no interest in a FP-shooter, but apparently someone is.
Oh, yes - as for complaining about poll-answer options (which I and other will do now and then): things could always be worse. No matter what the question, AM New York has only [ ] Yes and [ ] No as options.
I guess I'm really out of it. But, I've become a bit of a Luddite. Never owned a beeper. My relatively recent cell-phone is always off, unless I want to make a call, and it's a converted (= unlocked?) Trac-Phone, which means it's not a camera, MP3 player, or sex toy.

further contemplation:
"All work and no play make jack a dull boy", consider this in the many context's that 'dull' implies, not the least of which is that couched in the first quote, above.
It is important, for example, that we learn to save money. Yet, money is for spending. A lesson I'm trying to teach myself, rather than leave as a lesson to my heirs.

i don't say: 'don't you f** play' or nothing.. but IMO cp is not a community to ask if you'll buy some game..
if i'm wrong then sorry, but i saw people write 'WRONG FORUM, gtfo spammer' to someone who asked about programming in c/c++/vb on c# forum..
besides, i don't see any questions about WoW, UT or any other game, so why halo? is it some kind of advertisement of m$' game?!

Your point taken.
Why Halo 3? For me, it won't be an interesting game option. Then, again, I don't care who plays in or wins the World Series, SuperBowl, World Cup Soccer, etc. For the rest of the world, however, it seems to be that these are significant (re: the other post under this thread and AM New York's poll).
One can only hope that Halo 3 works out better for its users than Vista.

Well CP mostly offers info about MS's .NET , however, most of the developers/architects/dba that i know are really hooked into games, in my case software engineer by day, gamer by night , i don't think its wrong to ask different things in the poll once in a while, it wont stain the site.

Wow - and I thought I was the only poor sod who hates the bloody console controls. When I do manage to shoot something it is usually my foot.
I loved Halo 1 on the PC - I wonder if they got the original concept from Ringworld by Larry Niven? I won't even upgrade to Vista to get Halo 2 and hell may well freeze before 3 gets to the PC.
Still I know I'm in the right web community when 65% of you geeks won't let go of your mouse.

I cant stand console because you only use 1/2 of the movements as a pc keyboard so in oterwords you have more control on a pc

avid fan of FPS on the PC, but cant get those controllers to point my guy in the right direction.
I've tried GOW and COD so many times, thinking I could surely handle it now... only to get frustrated and switch back over to a racing game or something.

I can't stand FPSs on consoles, it's so much easier on the PC! I've tried time and time again, but in the end I crawl back to my PC for some "accurate" FPS action. I think I'll hold off buying Halo 3 until it comes to PC, if it ever does!

Ditto! FPS’s are great, I have never owned a game console, but did try one of the controllers once or twice. Give me a keyboard and a mouse any day, light-sabers and BFG’s are a great way to pass the time. Although I loved “Wing Commander” back in the day (joy stick). If you want to try a running a kingdom, then try finding a copy of “Majesty”, one of the few of that type worth playing.

First person shooter games give me motion sickness. I can play for about 10 or 15 minutes, but then I just start feeling horrible. I can't even watch somebody else play them. I imagine there are other people like this out there. Sound off, so I don't feel like I'm the only one...

Me too. I can play or watch about 30 minutes at the most before I start to feel sick.
