In the Halo demo, Jackals are a nice green. But in the Xbox Version: They are all ugly blue, and slightly ugly orange.

No, on the Xbox version they're all a richer blue and richer orange and the PC version has plain green.

Master Kim is right. Gearbox missed something during the porting. All the plasma fields (teleporters, stationary shields, Jackal shields, etc.) look like crap in Halo PC, but look fine in Halo Xbos.

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

Due to the time when Halo PC was released, the majority of PC's would have had a bit of trouble running it smoothly so some shaders were reduced in quality. There is a shader restoration pack out there somewhere. Look on Halo Mods or similar sites.

Not an excuse to omit these details.

Also, PC > console. Remember that!

Not necessarily, the Xbox version of Halo 2 is superior to the PC port.

That's because the PC version was ported by ten retarded monkeys with a computer they found in the bottom of a dumpster.

Yes, Halo PC is superior! Unfourtantly they didn't have any Mac Halo PC's. The demo of the Silent Cartographer has more atmosphere.

It was done because computers with intergrated video cards would not display the xbox shaders. Gearbox did it intentionaly, under the orders of Microsoft.

Please, know what you're talking about before you post. The H2V porting team knows what they are doing. The reason why teh game sucks is the rules and restrictions put on them by Microsoft, who just wanted the game out for G4WL. The Dev team for H2V argued strongly for many of the things that the community has complained about since the games release, but you have to understand that once they were hired they were merely pawns,

I rather have a console that works all the time and runs the game perfectly, than a PC where I have to worry about driver issues and everything else under the sun. Or games that just don't run. (GOW)

They do have mac halo games. halo already runs on mac anyway, and ebay has "rare edition made for macs" as well, but it's 150 bucks.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I have GoW PC, and it runs fine. :/

Halo PC in my opinion is better than the Xbox version.
Halo 2 however seems to run much more fluidly on the Xbox.
Just my opinion xD
