I honestly dont know what your saying. Before starting a thread, please read what you write and check for clarity. This topic for example needs some backstory, like what the hell your talking about; HL on XBox.
1. i bought a ps2 for $200 2. ps2 has like NO cool games 3. xbox has halo, DOA volleyball, etc. 4. all my friends have xboxs but ME 5. memory cards cost like $30 6. all of the above REALLY **** ME OFF
so make NS for ps2!!!! and i was just wondering, does HL for ps2 have better graphics than HL on pc?
Natural-Selection is still in beta while Counter-Strike isn't. So no it won't be ported. And by the time it COULD be ported, we'll all be playing Half-life 2 for a long time.
wow you hate xbox cuz its better than ps2? but you want ns on ps2? ps2 would put limitations on the game, low power, low fame buffer, low texture memory, low fsb, ps2 is way underpowered.
I can't see FPS games on consoles being anything but failures. NS would be well nigh impossible to play with a gamepad, meaning people would have to buy keyboards and mouses to play it. At the end of the day, it's just easier to have a PC, and most people who want to play FPS games already have a PC.
And yes, I know all about Halo. Seriously it's not an outstanding game. Singleplayer is boring as all hell but multi is a blast. No more than bf1942 though.

Well I'll go ask the whole 12 people who plan on actully buying CS for the X-box what they think. I don't think anyone here has hands big enough to work an X-box anyway, not to mention the heavy lifting equipment needed to hook one up is expensive. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Imagine the difficulty when you try to skulk/fade/lerk with a gaming controller. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. Playing NS with a controller would be like eating soup with a fork.

Xbox games aren't moddable. The only way CS is getting on the Xbox is because Valve put it there. That doesn't open the door for every other HL mod, not by a long shot.

Gee, anti Xbox morons. What Xbox thread would be complete without them? I'm surprised no ones showed up with the "Micro$oft."
I'm gonna lay out a few facts for you.
1. FPS <i>do</i> work on the console. There's no argument. Halo's sold millions of copies. Timesplitters sold millions of copies. Ghost Recon is selling like hot cakes. Same for Raven Shield. Yeah, yeah, the kb/mouse is the best input for FPS, but the dual analog does a more than passable job. If <i>you</i> have some deficiancy and can't figure it out, that's <i>your</i> problem. So, control wise, there's no reason NS couldn't be on the Xbox.
2. Xbox is more than powerful enough to run HL or any of its mods. That's a non-issue.
3. Xbox Live is the <b>best</b> online service for the consoles. Live is the best online service, period. Valve could learn a lesson or two from MS in this department. Live delivers on every promise Steam's made. Downloadable content, a buddy/messaging system that works no matter what game your playing, fast servers and voice communication in <i>every game.</i> That feature right there is <i>perfect</i> for NS.
4. NS lends itself nicely to the Xbox's architecture. A game like BF1942 I couldn't see on the Xbox. Too many players at once, and the maps are too big. NS maps are compact that most would probably work on the Xbox with just a little tweaking. Crimson Skies proved that Live can handle lag free 16 player games, and I'm sure it could handle the suggested NS 6v6.
I don't think this will happen. No, scratch that- this will never happen. But it could, and it could also be <i>awesome</i>. I know a lot of you dweebs think consoles are for babies. Go ahead and ask your girlfriends how mature and cool your PC games are. And if you don't have a girlfriend? It's like Gabe says, that's part of the freaking test.
Xbox is inferior. Consoles cheat the people of a proper gaming experience. Rob them of a quality "childhood", their introduction to online multiplayer gaming. So sad that it has taken so long. I belong to a different time and culture. I will move back soon. Wait for me, Austin!
Anyhow, I believe in Xbox 2. The new consoles will be nothing more than stripped down sexy looking gaming PCs. When Xbox 2 comes out, and every person across the land owns one, and online multiplayer experience, both gaming and community and modding, become exactly as if it were on a PC, then I will rejoice, and I will be happy. Then the existence of quality FPSes exclusive to the Xbox2 can be fathomed.
Of course, the controls have to as good as if not better than keyboard + mouse.

You missed his point, Nadagast. He noted that kb/mouse was the superior control thingy, but also noted that FPSs have done fine on consoles. And they have! However, no, this probably won't happen. Because uh - enh, the reasons have already been stated in the thread.

NS should seriously stay on the compy though... even it it had a choice
1. i bought a ps2 for $200
2. ps2 has like NO cool games
3. xbox has halo, DOA volleyball, etc.
4. all my friends have xboxs but ME
5. memory cards cost like $30
6. all of the above REALLY **** ME OFF
so make NS for ps2!!!!
and i was just wondering, does HL for ps2 have better graphics than HL on pc?
And yes, I know all about Halo. Seriously it's not an outstanding game. Singleplayer is boring as all hell but multi is a blast. No more than bf1942 though.

No.
Consoles really aren't suited for FPS games, regardless of how similar they are to PCs.
I don't think anyone here has hands big enough to work an X-box anyway, not to mention the heavy lifting equipment needed to hook one up is expensive. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
