Polish? Halo was rushed, to be honest.

I'd like you to compare that to HPC.

And on a side note, I agree with the skill thing. After playing Halo 2 for nearly a month strait, when I went back to HPC, I was obliterated when normally I''m up there in first or second. That was until I started playing H2 on legendary, that's pretty self explanatory.

I don't like anything about the pc version of halo, bad netcode.


... and Halo Xbox's netcode is better? I know you've played both. You can't honestly tell me that 100 ping on Halo Xbox (through XBC) is better than 100 ping on Halo PC.

Anyway, Halo PC has a lot of advantages over Halo Xbox.

- support for higher resolutions
- support for better textures
- new/custom maps and vehicles
- dedicated servers, HUZZAH!
- higher possible framerate
- rcon
- support for Anisotropic Filtering

I'm not going to lie, though. There's just something about Halo Xbox that makes it amazing. I can't quite pinpoint it.

- split screen
- much better LAN experience (NOTHING beats Halo Xbox LAN.)
- uniform hardware (nobody has unfair hardware advantages)
- Only runs at 30 FPS, but 30 FPS on Xbox looks a lot better than 30 FPS on PC. 30 FPS on Xbox seems to play like 45 or so FPS on PC.
- Low res on Xbox > low res on PC
- no downgraded shaders
- Controller = rumble (The rumble feature adds so much to the Halo experience.)
- wider FOV
- different movement sensitivities with controller (as opposed to two speeds with keyboard: go and stop)
- no stupid flamethrower and FRG
- lip in the pit on HeH : P

That's my point, Halo wasn't that much of a polished gem to begin with, let alone the PC port.
