Why Is Halo so much worst in XBox then in the PC? Why Halo makers when converted Halo for the PC, they did not improved it?
A friend of my has a teory, he says that Microsoft is that enterprise friend of the weaks and it is because of that! They wanted to created a great game for only one platform and in consequence of that, it is much more worst in all the other.

And you what? He is ablolutly right. I agree with him at 100%!!!

Let's hope that Halo2 don't suffer the same mistake.

I'm not sure what you are saying. If I read correctly, you complain about Halo on Xbox looks worse than on a PC, and then you continue to complain about that Microsoft wanted Halo to look awesome on Xbox only, and not on other systems? I'm confused...

there are 2 ways to solve your problems.

1.stay in school, get passing grades, wait 10 years, then come back.

2.learn to spell, learn proper grammar, and learn to think about what you say. you may also need to learn how to learn which can prove quite difficult.

let me explain:
an xbox is a 5 year old computer, and severly outdated when compared with some of today's computer gaming rigs

i think what he means is that microsoft made halo look worse on PC on purpose to make people buy it for xbox. I gotta say i was EXTREMELY dissapointed with the PC version, but heres why it doesnt always look good: When designing for XBox you can count on ALL of the components being the same nomatter what, whereas desiging for PC there are THOUSANDS of variations on graphics card, so getting compatibility right is hard, so what bungie done is optimise the textures for later cards (the radeon series and high end geForce like my FX5200) In conclusion if u run a low end card, or one which is not popular the textures will look crap, but if your card is high spec it will look, as much as this pains me to say it, better than the xbox version

Hope that cleared it up 4 ya lads!

Worse on x-box? There can be no greater heracy!!! Halo is the best game ever made, no matter the console, well, ok, if it were on ps2 it would really suck, but that's a different discussion.

And try taking an english lesson man!

Please use English and all it's proper forms of speech because it is very hard to understand what you are saying.

Yeah I get what you are saying though, the PC version is not as good (and I have both).

Come on people, English isn't the first language of many people. Anyway, I would agree that the Xbox is more standardised and thus easier to code for. Despit having lower specs than your average PC, the Xbox doesn't have to run an OS and a billion & ten things in the background.
