yeah tell your cousin to have more respect for the hard work of game companies. and to stop stealing their product. sounds like a typical PC elitist. why do consoles matter, just care about software, dam

well if that is the case if you go by specs alone, then of course he could run the game. their are stock pcs with enough power to run the game. remember the xbox is very dated now. BUT it is very unlikely he can emulate this game when it comes out. or at least it would take him awhile as i am sure MS is doing something special about this. But it IS the point. Stealing from these guys is wrong so tell him, then break his legs

The only way to play XBox games on a PC is to use an XBox Emulator, and the ones out right now suck.

So..yeah.

deltas right. why would you even think that a radeon 5600 wouldnt be good enough. your cousin is also stupid for thinking that he needed liquid cooling.

yeah i mean its not a refriderator and he isnt running an SGI octane or anything. he could do it if the emulators suck but this is one of those ideas where you eventually just want to tell the person, to shut up and buy an xbox with the game. 200 bucks. if that makes you go broke they you dont need to be spucing up some pc thats for sure

he is wrong it would run so much better on xbox and it would be cheaper to buy a xbox and buy halo 2 plus you could play multiplayer and xbox live

Even if he could get an emulator that would be able to run it he would miss out on Xbox Live which will rock harder than anything.

-S

There is no emulator that could run Halo 2. To date, I've yet to see an emulator that could run Halo.

Sorry, I had to snip your conversation log. It discusses some copyright infringing concepts.
