yes. theres a flamthrower, and a fuel rod. 2 vehicles also, rocket hog and banshee mp. and a few new Multi Player levels. (danger canyon, timberland, infinty....) lots of things that are for halo PC that arent for halo Xbox. (its cuz halo pc came out l8er, so they had more time to add stuff..)

Heyyo,

Online play up to 16 players, 2 new vehicles for multiplayer (Banshee and rocket warthog), 2 new weapons for multiplayer (flamethrower and fuelrod). And a few new maps (Ice Fields, Infinity, Timberland, Danger Canyon, etc).

PLUS, you get HaloCE (Custom Edition). Which allows you to make and use your own maps/mods. :)

there's plenty of GREAT maps out for that, use muffmeisters site for some of the best ones. http://www.muffmeister.co.uk ;)

Yeah, but there's also online play with Halo Xbox, through XBConnect and others.

there are alot of diffrences and it is much better than on the xbox because you can do things like make your own games and stick lose of veircalls in them and there are more weapens in it such as the fuel rod gun and the flame frower also if you get halo custom edition you can go onto the internet and get some very good maps

Yes, very much so! Although the amount of players online has dropped slightly since the release of Halo 2 on the XBox, Halo PC is still a good investment... You will regularly see upwards of 600 servers!

Make sure to get Halo CE aswell to compliment Halo PC. It's a stand alone version SOLELY for online multiplayer gaming and you can download it for free with something approaching 300 custom built maps.
You can download it from various places, but I would like to suggest my site...of course...lol.

Remember, this version is FREE but you must have already purchased Halo PC as you will need your CD key.

Have fun and I look forward to seeing you on the battle field!
