If it will be possible to put Halo2 on PC i think our present Computers need a shiny solid upgrade to run such a graphic engine!!! But it would have boosted the popularity to Halo2.

The Gearbox port of Halo to PC wasn't great with the framerate problem in the campaign. If they ever decide to do a port of Halo 2 I would like to see a reasonable framerate increase.

bah

I, personally, think that Bungie is secretly developing Halo 2 for PC along with Halo 2 for Xbox. They aren't porting over that whole thing, but just parts of it here and there. It can be a whole lot faster to do two similar things at once rather than do one then the other.

Yes but Microsoft would lose out on sales if it came out on Pc under a year later because people may like they did with halo 1 buy an xbox just for the game.
I dont think microsoft would like that not at all.

Actually, some computers would not need major upgrades.

I run a very graphically demanding Battlefield Vietnam game with a Nvidia Geforce 5500 FX and I can run it just fine.

I don't think Halo 2 would be a major stepup... sure the graphics are easily better than BF:V, but not leaps and bounds.

I think if Halo2 comes out on Pc the computer u would have to use is either a Frag Box or an AREA51 desktop or laptop. But why would you need it on PC it already has Xbox Live capabilitys

Well i have a computer with 2.08 GHz(2080MHz),768mb DDR-SDR,NVIDIA Gforce4 MX 440 and 80Gb(max 70,7gb) and i think i need to save money for a new shiny graphics card.I think i shall buy one of those new Gforce 6800 and Gforce 6800 Ultra 512 cards(who in norway will come to the summer).That will be enough power to run Halo2 though.
But the strange is the Gforce 3 card on the xbox are better than my graphics card?,maybe its because it is a MX card and not a FX one?I think the strongest gforce3 card are weaker than the weakest gforce4 card,im not sure. I havent xbox live at all,im 18 so i think i shall install broadband when i get a good job.

The 440MX sucks, it's basically the same as a certain GeForce 2. That 4 is just to get that thing to sell. It's often built into PC's when you buy them, we've got one in my sis' PC. I've got a trusty 9600 Pro, which needs to be replaced soon as well.

Too bad there's not search on the forums (yet?), I think this topic must have been discussed at least twice.

I read or heard sommewhere that halo 2 would come out on pc 5 years later after Xbox. It could be less and might not be correct cos i am a little fuzz on the details?!?!

  • 04.16.2004 11:41 AM PDT

bah

Remember, th Xbox runs at 480x640 rez on a TV. Turn you'r monitor's graphics that low and you'll see exacly how much the Xbox desn't have to struggle.

Just a rumor. =)

There's been no official word on the release (or lack thereof) of a PC version of Halo 2.

An Xbox is a dedicated p3 733mhz with an old GeForce 3. I'm fairly certain your computer, if the xbox can handle it, will be able to as well.

Brilliant! Welcome home from school kids, you all add so much to the forums =)

Edit: Just to stay on topic, it'll probably be completed when the xbox version is. However, the release will be much later to avoid encroaching on the x-box sales.
