Sounds reasonable... :flame:

Didnt the term pwned start with halo as a typo, but it caught on?

Common missconseptions and assumptions hold dear to the above statement.

With the obvious exception of Multiplayer, the single player portion of the game will remain unchanged according to Gearbox. Which is a good thing, since the single player was awsome. As for auto-aim, rest assured that Gearbox has removed this feature for the PC version for balance reasons.

As for the whole "M$ ruined Halo" theory, there is no truth or evidence to back this claim up. The versions of Halo seen at Mac World '99 and E3 2000 were scripted movies using the in-game engine. Remember that Halo was a huge project for a then-independant company like Bungie...which meant it was costing them more money than they could afford.
Microsoft offered Bungie a deal, they would pay for Halo's development, an in exchange Bungie would re-create the game for Xbox. Which, I must remind everyone, was the most powerfull gaming system at the time, and is still very much powerfull today.

No, "pwned" is just "owned" except by using a "p" instead of the more traditional "o".

Well naturally, but I never heard/saw the term until i played halo and saw it on their site. At first i thought it was a typo, and that it just caught on, whatever.

Halo?
