Half Life 2 - Pal XBOX

How does it run on the 360 now? Am I right in thinking they did some more work on the emulation in a later BC update?

Is this coming to the 360 with Episode 2 or is it just Episode 2 coming to the 360?

The 360 is getting the whole shebang.

Thanks!

I might as well wait some more then.

You'll be waiting till mid-late 07, you know?

Absolutely, and it's crazy. I thought the whole point of episodic content was to reduce dates?

By the time Half-Life 2 reaches the 360, it's going to be staring Bioshock, Crysis and Halo 3 down the barrel of a gun being three years old.

It runs surprisingly well, that is to say about as well as the Xbox version. It's still in 480p though from what I can tell - no upscaled Halo 2 style shenangians here, though that shouldn't come as a surprise. I think there were severe frame-rate issues and lack of 16:9 support with the first BC update - those have been sorted.

Since we're on a Half-Life 2 tip this evening, how about this for a case mod?

I better get it now then. (It's like the Fast Show )

I've been tempted to get the Xbox version because you can get it really cheap and now I know the 360 one is quite a way off I might finally buy it.
