I just hope it doesn't get repetitive as fuck.

Also, I dont like animated assassinations, because imagine online. You could have one of those AVP assassination chains, or you could get sniped while doing an overly showy animation.

Yeah, but I've gotten sniped trying to do a REGULAR assassination. Plus assassination chains are awesome and you know it.

Aside from that, this really looks like it would make a great PC release. Maybe through GameSpy and Gearbox? Always hopin...

steam lol

They said if you hold down B it does that animation, so you don't have to do it.

Oh. Goodie!

In that case, I hope it doesn't work as the original GOW2 chain saw animations worked. If you started to cut someone, you were invincible until the animation finished until they patched it to you were vulnerable at all times.

Nah, they'd make it G4WL if they made a PC port. Though I think the Halo 1 online model worked really well. It'd only be nice to have the G4WL part in it for matchmaking and authenticated games (where they check for hacks and such). But I get the feeling that any future port considerations will have H2V's taste in the back of their mouths...which they have no one to blame but themselves (Microsoft) for the flop.

I think it would make more sense for them to hire gbx again to do said port. That is more likely because gbx actually did a good job porting halo 1. But then again, it is microsoft we're talking about here.

I think a good chunk of the GBX people who worked on Halo PC broke off and started Pi Studios (whom also worked on the H2V editing kit). They're in Houston
