I like the Xbox version, but only because it's great getting all my mates round for an XBC fragfest.

I like Xbox, first, cause there is no probs with it, second PC is a bad port, third, i like using the controller. There is other stuff, but a comp just doesnt offer the same effect as usin the BOX. Not that I have anything against Halo PC (and CE), but if I could mod as easily with a box i probably would.

The PC was ported bad probably due to Gearbox or Microsoft. Both probably shared the blame since Gearbox ported the game incorrectly and Microsoft rushed the game to get it off their chest. However, if I was given either choice for an Xbox and PC, I'll take none, put the Xbox in the donation basket and wait for Half Life 2 instead. Fortunately, the graphic driver was just recently updated so now the game IS actually playing at an acceptable frame rate.

You're certainly free to have your opinion, but wouldn't you be more comfortable posting it on Valve's site instead of Bungie's? After all, they've got time to kill over there too.

The only reason Halo pc is cool is cause u can mod it, and have online multiplayer.
Other then that it SUCKS.

I'm already over there, along with Doom 3 and all the other games I'm waiting to get.

Yes it is highly underated. Both versions have their advantages.

Xbox advantages:
a) Game console format, very playable
b) Game glitches allow you to get upperhand on other players
c) Can use play co-op and system link when you have friends over - if you have any
d) Again if you have any friends, they all will be playing on the same xbox - same speed of processing for each player

PC advantages:
a) The PC is faster and better graphics than XBox
b) Newer version of Halo, game glitches have been removed - offers better multiplayer gameplay
c) More multiplayer content - like death island and infinity - those are awesome
d) Downloadable maps - great user created content
e) Can play with not just your friends but the world - 24x7 halo with full multiplayer! Not just on fragnights with your buds, but all the time...
f) HEK if you want to get technical with it

Overall - the PC version is the latest version of Halo opened up. More power, more options.

That said, I still will be getting an xbox this fall when halo2 comes out.

Well, even so, but the credit goes to the Xbox for making Halo into a FPS game in the first place because back in 1999, Halo was supposed to be an RTS game like Myth with Master Chief being your commander and you can control the Marines or the Aliens and there was no flood.

Halo PC has a terrible port. It's almost funny how much better Halo is on Xbox. You posted this forum under The Maw. Most people who read this have Halo PC, yet according to the poll, the Xbox version still owns.

Reason why is the Xbox fanboys are trolling the PC forum making trouble instead of playing the game.

actually, I think its cause most people who own an xbox with Halo and have a decent comp have Halo PC, but they know which one is best. Theres nothin better than beatin the -blam!- outta somebody on xbox. Pc is jsut bang bang, your dead, bang bang, your dead (not that i have a prob with that or anything).
