I say Xbox 360 because it loads fast and never slow.

Apparently anyone who voted for the 360 is either not very good at the game, or has never played it on the xbox.

The horrible ghosting issue aside, there are also noticeably bad differences in competitive play, such as regardless of the sensitivity the aiming being too "loose" on the 360 controller, and more random inconsistancy in the emulation of the game.

I'm tall, white, and male. Therefore I am automatically the bad guy.

This is the strangest thing to ever happen to me while playing Halo.

I believe the PC version is better after beating it and playing it through because the AI is smarter and funner to fight, graphics *drool*, there are NO superjumps that I know of, rarely does anyone cheat on LIVE, the user created maps, and the achievements. The only complaint I have is the lack of players on LIVE.

360 benefits

-greater resolution
-greater draw distance

xbox benefits

-no framerate issues
-no ghosting issues
-no map loading issues

I think xbox wins just about.

Golly gee i wonder if a game is better on the system it was originally programmed to run on. Obviously if you play competitively Its best on its home system.

The Regular Xbox.

The 360 freezes everytime i accidentally play Backwash in a custom.

Lockout/Sactuary/etc turns darker making it harder to see.

The Middle button is annoying because i always press it.

Weird glithces tend to happen a lot.

Thank you. Ninja Spartan nailed it.

Halo 2 on 360 can be summed up in one word: Frustrating.

First off, your melees will go through people the majority of the time. Like if you need a clutch beatdown you'll.............go through them LOL. Plus, there's frame rate issue (this was absolutely horrid a few months ago but I believe they may have actually fixed it a little. I still get it sometimes though.)

Then there's the BR. Before I switched to 360 I found four shotting on a regular Xbox to be relatively easy. Now it just feels harder. And I swear I'll be hitting people 8-9 times (in the head) and they don't die. They come close to dying, but they just won't. And long range BR on a 360 is a joke. Your shots don't even seem like they're registering.

Don't get me wrong, there are some benefits. I don't completely hate playing on 360. The graphics look a bit cleaner (a little bit) and the load times don't seem so long. And when you get used to the controller it's really comfortable (in my opinion. )

But then you get reminded of the bad, like failing to load maps LOL. Yeah all in all I'm only playing on 360 because it was more of an investment. Why not prep for Halo 3? But yeah, I got used to playing on 360 but most of the time it's just frustrating.
