I wish Sony would port Killzone to PC. Not only would it have kept me from getting a PS2 for it, but it would be back on the platform it was originally for, plus it would have less fog, a higher framerate, and all that other stuff.

As for Halo 2, there was no doubt about it being ported. PC ports always get new stuff, too. Ports in general tend to do so.

Example - Gears of War. Go to Epic's forums and you'll see all the same topics about how the PC users get a whole new act, new baddies to fight, and new multiplayer maps.

It's just the way ports go.

It wasn't Bungie's choice Microsoft made them port it.

I've been against porting Halo 2 to PC since I first heard about it. People calmed me by saying things like "Calm down, it'll be nothing new". I was content, I waited, and when it was released I was pissed, because on it were new maps. Halo 2 was designed for Xbox, Halo 2 was made with Xbox in mind, Halo 2 was the dreadnought of the Xbox brand, but now I can only be pissed with it. I don't have a high-end or even MODERATE PC, so this pissed me off further (Not that I'd purchase the game twice, anyways).

The game is FOR Xbox, so I want those maps (District, ext ext). I don't care if there are 2 or 100 of them, I bought this game for Xbox knowing that it was going to live on Xbox, and Xbox would get all of its fame, now I see all of these people who don't even own Xbox's running around with Copies of its best game. Do you see Sony porting Killzone for PC? No. Because they have their heads on straight. I'm just saying, if you HAVE to port a game for PC, then AT THE VERY LEAST, make everything new on the port downloadable for the ORIGINAL users of the product, don't shun us and say "Hey, f**k you!" and give PC users the new maps, and leave us nothing.

PC ports are for noobs.

P.S. I'm sure this posts like this have been made 100 times before, but maybe the repetition will help make it sink in.

The game Halo 2 itself should've never been made, or, at least, it shouldn't have been released unfinished.

Also, Halo's soul is a PC game, as it was going to be a PC/Mac only title until Microsoft bought their souls.

I would rather have Halo 2 released in it's current state, than no Halo 2 at all. The game still out preforms most console shooters, not to mention the fantastic story.

The fact that it out performs all console shooters in sales should definitely say something about console FPS games in general.

Correct, but I still find the game fun (if that makes me a "newbie" then so be it). There is a lot of quality missing from it, but take away singleplayer (half the damn game) and duel wielding you basically get classic halo. All in all, a good, a good sequel...ok, maybe a fair sequel...an ok sequel? A bad sequel? Halo one with boarding? A crappy version of Halo one with boarding and huge hitboxes?


Ya never mind, the game is crap. -_-


At least Halo 3 is on the "path to salvation."

Wow. Just wow. Time for me to do what I do best.

1: If you never had any intentions of buying H2V, why the hell are you whining like a 2 year old who dropped his ice cream?
2: You're mad that we got two whole new maps? I suppose you're mad that we PC gamers got new maps and new vehicles and new weapons when Halo got ported? I suppose you got mad when you found out that we also got Halo CE which allowed us to play user created content? And I suppose you're mad over the fact that you have nothing better to do with your pitiful life than complain about a video game you won't even buy?
3: We had to wait over three years for Halo 2 to be made for the PC. And you're mad because you think it should only be for Xbox? You're preaching to the WRONG -blam!- choir kid.
4: You didn't get "nothing" when Halo 2 was ported. You got the game three years before the PC gamers, idiot.
5: No, this post hasn't been made 100 times over, because once is enough thank you.

So you can either go back to New Mombasa or whatever the -blam!- it's called now, or grow a pair and live with it. Frankly I'd prefer you did the former, since the latter would involve me seeing your idiocy on my forum again, and being reminded of this abortion of a thread.

You're exactly like those crybabies that got all pissed when the Xbox version of Guitar Hero got The Trooper as an exclusive...

Did the Xbox not get two new maps that DIDN'T come out for the PC? Stop whining...

"your forum"? do you honestly think the majority of people on this forum are PC gamers? Preaching to the wrong choir? lol hes preaching to the exact -blam!- choir who would be pissed about something like this, you call him pathetic for complaining, and yet your complaining that hes complaining like a little -blam!-, get over yourself. It wasnt his choice not to buy it he didn't have the means to do so. So lets recap, you are complaining to him for not buying a pc with halo vista, while at the same time complaining about it not coming out soon enough for PC when you could've bought an xbox.

Indeed it is time for you to do what you do best....if doing what you do best is being a little -blam!-..

This is the Halo 1 & 2 for PC forum. Logic might dictate that PC gamers would play Halo 2 for the PC. GG, hold the re.

Honestly, this is one of the most absurd sounding things I've ever heard. What the hell are you whining about? So a game came out for a different platform and you don't happen to be able to run it sufficiently. Sucks to be you? Halo 2 Vista is a craptastic port anyway, so I think you should be glad you're not missing out. In fact, I can't believe you're bashing PCs like this...

orly?

First of all, he may say it's his forum, as he has been a part of it for far much longer than you have. You get the wrong catch of things, you silly retard, as he is not complaining, he's letting the noob OP know of the stupidity that he/she has posted. You think yourself so mighty after replying like that? You do? You're just another little kid who thinks he owns the forums. What you do best is being a stupid little child feeling mighty of pretending to be old enough to play the "cool" games.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Ok this is, in fact a Halo and Halo 2 for PC forum. But Kim said that. (And actually the website says it too, so don't feel bad, it's really easy to miss that small banner at the top.) PoorVash, you must be an illterate kid who trys to prove nature wrong by picking a fight of words with a man that knows his way around the english language, but is also a major part of the correction of many people. Sure he does insult you if you make yourself look like you thought out what you were typing 5 minutes after you typed it, but at the least he does it A) very well; and B) with constructive criticism.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.
