Many people who dont have Xbox suggest that "Halo 2" should be for other systems. I really think it should only be for Xbox and PC. So what do you think it should be on?

Well, the Gamecube's controller sucks for First Person Shooters, and I doubt the PS2's hardware could handle the game very well. But those reasons don't matter because the real reason it's an Xbox exclusive is because Bungie is owned by Microsoft, and Microsoft wants to force everyone who wants to play Halo 2 to buy an Xbox. And besides, if it's made only for the Xbox, then the developers can focus all their energy on squeezing every last drop of performance out of the thing, instead of trying to go with the "lowest common denominator" approach.

Nope, keep Halo 2 on the Xbox and once Microsoft squeezed enough money from the Xbox, then release it on PC so that they could make money on it too.

Isn't it obvious? Microsoft own xbox, and windows, and therefore has significant leverage of Halo. They'll never let sony or nintendo near it.

Man, have you guys ever played SOCOM on the PS2 with their tiny women controllers?? My hands actually start to cramp on those suckers. Second, people who say that should just buy a xbox.

Nope, besides the fact that no other system is more powerfull than the Great X Box, Microsoft would never give up such a great franchise

I think that Halo is the most recognized xbox title, so Halo 2 should be only for xbox. Plus the sweet graphis engine in Halo 2 can remind us how -blam!-in our system is!

YOU'RE JUST BEING SELFISH TRYING TO HOG HALO FOR XBOX OWNERS ONLY. SERIOUSLY THOUGH, GET YOUR HEAD EXAMINED. HALO FOR PC WOULD BE JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER WITH THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT.

No halo 2 for pc would be a pile of crap compared to the xbox version. and if you could spend so much money on upgrading you computer so that it could come close to the xbox you could by 5 xbox's and a dozen copies of halo 2.

There is Half Life 2 which will probably blow Halo PC out of the mod community especially how the way HaloCE was handled. Just look at the Gearbox's HaloCE forum and you'll see no developer EVER post in there again.

And don't forget, we get to play on dinky controllers too. So we instead of playing on our expensive but HIGH resolution computer, we get a low resolution game with no good controls or anything. And don't tell me about HDTV, Halo 2 only supports 480p while on the PC we can play games at 1600x1200. Yep, Xbox is sure fun for the bucks. But hey, thats why you pay for. Cheap money for cheap entertainment :D

Halo 2 would look better on pc. 1600*1200 6x AA 16x Ani. Dont get me wrong , the xbox cant do that.

Exactly, Even if the Xbox supports HDTV, it is still limited since the game is the one that determines whether you can go up to 720P or can only stay at 640x480. And since most PC gamer's minimum require resolution is 800x600, I'll take my monitor over my 65inch TV since the TV is only use for movies.
