Is Halo 2 planned for the PC, if so when- does anyone have any info?

You can bet it is. M$ would not give up the HUGE market of pc players. If they didn't they'd lose a lot of very anxious customers. I'm positive that it's already being coded for PC right now. We may see it in about 1-2 years, but no sooner. M$ wants people to buy the xbox, too ;)

I'd rather play Halo 2 on PC. The graphics will be better and I am a lot more dextrous with a keyboard and mouse, as opposed to those clunky controllers.

Halo and Halo 2 are made for Xbox, PC will never come close to capturing the essence of Halo.

what the -blam!- are you talking about. you must be retarded or something halo was originally made for pc and then micro$oft stepped in with xbox, and xbox sux so much that it cant run halo2 properly. also dont give me that xbox is better than pc -blam!-, all xbox is, is a stripped down pc and not expandable, pc is the best and will always be the best gaming system!!!

That has got nothing to do with Halo sucking on the PC. You could have the best computer in the world, Halo 2 would still suck on it.

Not to take part in a frivolous arguement, but I don't believe you have any evidence that Halo 2 would suck on PC. There is no way that you could arrive at this conclusion unless you have played it on PC... and it isn't out of PC. That said, "the best computer in the world" would probably run H2 better since it would have better graphics processing and what not than the Xbox... You see no I've gone and participated in a ridiculous arguement. And isn't this like the 1,000,000th Halo2 on PC topic?

You're an idiot. Xbox is what, 4 years old? My computer is about one week old. It runs Halo, everything on max, at about 70+ fps. You know what xbox runs it at? Crappy 800x600 (compared to 1600x1200), plus 60 fps standard (as opposed to 30 on the box). Not to mention I have virtually no load times. Halo 2, xbox can hardly handle it - have you watched the cutscenes??? On my pc it will run those withut flickering textures...

Although I would rather prefer the PC version over the xbox version any day, there are still some pros and cons about having the PC version as to having the xbox version.
PROS:
16 player multiplayer
Free online gaming
modded maps
modded vehicles
better frame rates
Better graphics (I think, I'm not sure if they are better or not.)
Rocket wart hog
banshee in multiplayer
extra maps.

CONS:
Can be very expensive compared to xbox although a great PC can do way much more than just play games at bad resolutions.
No cooperative play for PC
Playing your friends in person can be more fun than playing with other people on the internet.

If you have a big moniter (like the huge wide screen one I saw at best buy) Halo would be even more awesome. It'd be like having better graphics on a wide screen/high definition TV. I have a 17" moniter lol.

Heyyo,

Yo panda, plug your comp into a tv like that, and check yourself how much more cleaner a PC's graphics are. Goes double if you can do it by your DVI port and not through a S-Video port. ;)

The average TV screen rez is 512x360. The average PC is 640x480, and I tend to run most of my games at 800x600, $box got pwned. :)

If they aim to make the PC port of H2 run like the one for H1 then you'd probably still think a decent pc won't run the game. If they do that? hah! I ain't gonna buy H2. I'm getting the demo before I even bother with buying this title since H2 on $box is pretty dodgy, gameplay is too easy, some of the best H1 weapons are useless.... and speaking of sequels? sum1 got pwned

I like Master cheif better than that half life two guy. For some reason those types of games kind of creep me out.

Heyyo,

I love Half Life 2, a true FPS. Cause it's a PC FPS. ;)

They just released the official CSSbots, they're pretty smart, and put on a good fight after you turn off nades. CSS has bots now... does Halo2 for MP? nope. All the more reason why HL2 > H2. Bungie's gotta really tune up H2 if they want it to be sucessful for the PC.

Chronicles of Riddick turned out as the best game port from a console to PC. Heck, it turned out even better on the PC. It ran like a beaute, controls acted like they were built for a PC mouse n' keyboard, and the gameplay feels great. Once the price drops (Max Payne 2's $21 CDN now) I'm definately gonna buy this game. If someone would make an MP mod for it? I'd definately buy the game now, stealthtacular that game is. :)

Yeah, Bungie's series Marathon was mainly for Mac, too. If you haven't played those, you should. I snuck the game onto my high school's graphical art lab and onto the iMacs just to play them...the administrators never did know :)

50megs...well, not the greatest, but my bro's laptop has an Nvidia laptop card that's four years old and still plays halo at a respective framerate with everything except lighting, shadows, and specular.

Well i`m workin on finishing Half Life 2,so far all i have to say is WOW,the whole feeling and vibe the game gives the player is great(i got to get used to the fact that i`m only a fizics geek with a crowbar and not good old badass MC with guns-blazing and armor to last a lifetime :) ...this kind of play gets ya killed in HL2).The places themselvs look very Cernobal-ish and post apocaliptic with poluted waters mutants and basicly your all around biohazard city with it`s periferal places and underground rezistense bunch disperatly trying to retake the place and survive at the same time :),the music and sound isn`t all that good but they are workin on it...and as for the graphics...i must say...unmatched,maybe Far Cry but nothing else comes close(Doom 3 crap when compared).The multiplayer is superb and the gravity gun is simply the best and most original weapon i`ve seen lately.Halo 2 is far behind,and when it dose come out for PC they better crank it up if they want it to be at least half the game HL2 is....aaaanyway...till that nice day,c`ya people :) (by the way my low/medium end PC runs Half Life like a dream on 1024/768,high on all graphics options and i`m beyond surprised,Halo 1 works choppy and laggy on my PC and Half Life 2 don`t?! WTF!!!)

My xbox is more powerful than my PC. Halo graphics suck on my PC,but i like the online MP.Plus PC has no good games because Half Life 2, Doom 3 AND Far Cry is coming to the xbox. Doom has a co-op mode that the pc version doesnt. It will be a sad day for hardcore pc gamers. Not to mention the PS2 juggernaut GTA:San Andreas.
