I sincerely hope that after Halo 1's less than perfect port, they'll do it properly this time, because if they just do a lazy-ass port it would Really Suck. I'd also like to agree with that guy who said it lags on xbox. It seriously does, sometimes slow framerates, VERY frequent audio lag, and texture loading happens usually after you've seen the untextured model, which completely ruins the atmosphere.

For all you X-Box players...i highly incourage you to take a tour and read the post on the following link... http://halo2forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=237 ...then we'll see what's what...

Lol I voted sorta aswell, since I think we'll all be playing Halo even after Halo 2 is out, simply because it's more enjoyable, it has more magic.

Whoever dosen't want it to come out is a loser!
Just because they have it for x-box dosn't mean that we computer freaks can't have it!

They might not have released any info but lets face if they dont bring it out for pc they lose a lot of money and they want as much money as they can get. I own an XBOX and i haven't bought halo2 for it i just rented it from blockbuster completed it and now i am waiting for it to come out on pc.

yeah Halo 2 pc should run fine if a capable developer ports it because Halo PC was a shoddy port job, but look at hl2 and doom 3 the graphics are better then halo 2 in those games and they run fine

Uh, HALO for PC uses Direct X 9, so that proves that you don't know wtf you are talking about, Mr Ekul1021. HALO 2 for PC will no doubt use Direct X 9 also, and will probably have a -blam!- up code, just like HALO1 for PC.

Halo 2 is using the Directx 8 while Half Life 2 uses Directx 9. So by saying Halo 2 isn't capable on the PC, you're implying you don't know anything about computer and should refrain from making yourself look stupid and a retard, not to mention an insult to the Xbox community. Please think before saying something stupid.


Does it say Halo PC? Nope it sure doesn't Mr. PC_GAMER_ANALYST know-it-all. And if you can't even read that, then it is obvious you don't know what the f.uck you're talking about. Learn how to read english before making yourself look like a dumb f.uck and a stupid retard.

I don't think it's possible that Halo 2 could have used DirectX 9 effects when the Xbox only has a 8.1 card? But either way Half-Life 2's graphics totally own it. Well, HL2 is better in every way in my opinion, although to be fair I've yet to actually play Halo 2 multiplayer with enough people to really enjoy it. Single player tho, HL2 owns. We've yet to see what the PC graphics for Halo 2 will be like, but they'd have to be pretty darn amazing to compete with what's already on the PC market.

The people at Bungie are not stupid. They will prove this by putting Halo 2 for PC.

And by the way, what was the code you used to get that vote-counter-deal-whopper???

Heyyo,

LOL! Ekul PWNED you pc_gamer, sry buddy, he speaks the truth. :)

Here's the story: Gearbox wanted graphics to be better on PC than on $box, so they made it for dx9, with pixel shader v2.0 Halo for xbox was for dx8 with pixel shader v1.4. NOTE barely any difference in visual quality, why? gearbox fell a little short on using the full potential of pixel shader v2.0... especially on the optimization side. :p

and yes, xbox has a Geforce 3, aboot the same power of a TI500 overclocked. GF3 is a DX8.1 videocard. Only after NV GF4 FX5200 was their videocards DX9.

Now, whoever does Halo2PC will probably do the same... but hopefully with better optimizations, or else yet again xbox n00bs will say how much better their xbox is than a good PC.

REMEMBER THIS XBOX N00BS: Bungie had 4 YEARS, 4.... YEARS (hopefully if I repeat they might hear it over their small xbox-egos, lol...) to make Halo. They were bought out in 2000. M$ provided them I'm guessing a huge chunk of the halo for xbox engine, so most of that dirty work was done for them. So it took them no time at all to port Halo to xbox with good optimizations.

NOW, for HaloPC... did anyone provide Gearbox with a good PC engine? no. Did M$ give them a good chunk of an engine to help? NO. Gearbox had to build a whole new game engine from SCRATCH. Why from scratch and not get a licence to a pre-built engine like the Unreal Warfare engine or the Cry Engine? profits. If they used a pre-built engine they'd have to dish out quite a bit of cash. It's cheaper just to build a new engine, whether it's crappy or not. Turns out it was crap, but at least Gearbox made a huge profit, good for them... bad for us gamers...
