Title: MS CES keynote
Post by: idolminds on Sunday, January 07, 2007, 08:52:05 PM

Keep refreshing for updates (http://www.shacknews.com/docs/press/010707_microsoft_ces_07_live.x)

Some highlights so far: Geometry Wars shown in the Games for Windows trailer, so we're probably getting it. Halo 2 will be cross platform multiplayable. PC vs 360. Of course, this pretty much guarantees the game to be gimped for PC. H2 is a Xbox 1 game. The netcode will have to conform to whats already on the Xbox...so it'll be shit and limited to like 8 players. Plus you know the controls on PC will be fucked or the Xbox crowd would get owned. Say hello to low mouse sensitivity and junk.

But, we already have Grid Wars.  Aren't they pretty much exactly the same except one's free?

Joystiq reports that the person speaking messed up, and that Halo 2 PC wont be able to play Xbox gamers.

Well thats good. Now if only it wasnt Halo....
