I would only use it for multiplayer. I sooo wanna play on the PC-only maps and use the flamethrower and fuel rod cannon.

So I ask you experienced PC fans... Is it worth $70?
I would have to buy the game $20 and a wired xbox 360 controller $50. Tell me what you guys think... is it worth it? I already have Halo for Xbox. I also want to know how many players play it. Is it hard to get in a game because nobody plays anymore? Or is that not the case.

Definently worth 20$, but joystick is not. Why do you even want to buy halo pc if you don`t play it with mouse and keyboard. And probably half of the halo players( or little less than half) are playing it. (excluding halo 2 players) . So I recomend you to buy it, you could then play and create custom maps with Halo Custom Edition, but its some other thread...

1. This is the Maw. You're obviously going to get biased answers from Halo PC veterans. By the way, I think you should buy it. :P

2. It's definitely worth twenty dollars, but definitely not $70. Illidan is absolutely right. Ditch the controller--you'll save money and countless ass-whippings.

its a great game, 2000+people still play it and you get access to custom edition (CE) and you can download user made maps

or you can just do xbox connect =\

Halo PC is not a proper substitute for true online enabled play for Halo on the Xbox, and vice versa.

It's a great game, but are you sure your pc can run HaloPc well? If it does, then buy the game for $20 and don't get a controller/gamepad. Keyboards are the way to go for most online fps so your better off without one.

What it is.

I have the 360 controller and I've tried Halo PC with it, and trust me, it doesn't work well at all. Unless you plan on getting Halo 2 Vista when it comes out and prefer the controller, get the controller. But as others said, ditch the controller and buy the game, it's definitely worth twenty bucks.

Even though i didn't pay for my 360 controller(xmas) Iregretted asking for the thing.
1) It sucked
2) The left joystick kept sticking to the left and god knows why

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

If you are good with the controller, you can do perfectly fine with it.

Btw, the $60 is definately worth it.(the wired controller is $40)

if i were you i would wait and buy something else, its not like im regreting buying halo its just im playing better games that dont lag like a biatch so you have to shot infront of the guy just to kill him.

Which is a bunch of bullcrap, i mean i like it when i aim at someone and they die not the opposite.

zOMG if you buy a controller its not worth getting HPC. If you really want to spend fifty bucks on a control system get a mx518 or a G5 (like I have because I am obsessed with the PC)
and try to get in a GOOD clan- or else you'll find the experience somewhat Lacking. There's nothing like having a reliable source of players. and be sure to get xfire lol.

Yeah, you shouldn`t buy 360 controller only for Halo, the gameplay is not the same as on xbox.

Actually, now that you mention it, if I wasn't a biased Halo PC veteran, I would say you're better off playing another game. Like CS or UT.
