This poll includes both Halo 2 and Halo. I want it in New Mombasa because I like this forum better. Now my question is thus: Would you like to be able to play them from your xbox on their PCs, so you can show them how they were meant to be played? I know this is not possible, but would you like to do it?

Not really.

PC gives the player quicker and more manuverable aiming.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

But the Xbox player has more ability to move. The PC player cannot walk or move in a diagnol. PC would be better for snipers, but the Xbox would be better for drivers and close combat fighters.

I will own anybody who plays on a keyboard there is no way they could maneuver as good with the mouse and key board as I could with my controller It is just not possible I have played both and with my sensitivity on 8 or 9 on the duke controller you simply could not keep up with me at anything but extreme long range period.

So a PC operating at 2.5 ghz and a xbox operating a .7 ghz can compete with each other? I don't get it?

it takes more skill to be better at an xbox fps than a pc one, cause of the joysticks, on the controllers

Its really -blam!- in my opinion that Bungie made Halo for PC, because they gave it Xtra bonuses and new levels. It should have been EXACTLY the same, or not at all. Xbox players don't know what its like to have rocket launcher on the back of a hog!! So, I would love to kick some PC players butts on my XBOX......

Might I ask how many people have a 2.5 ghz microprocessor? Those that do are not the majority, thus you can not use that as a valid reason. Second, even if your computer is that powerful, how much is being used exclusively for the game? .7 ghz? Maybe, idon't know. I do know that it isn't that much difference in the end.

a high-end PC, w/ more RAM, and a faster processor could have an unfair advantage cause the network card in the xbox sucks, and it has a slow processor compared to most PCs

duke it doesnt require more skill to manipulate 2 sticks. they right next to each other. it takes more skill to use the keyboard and mouse, plus mouse is way more sensitive. u would get owned by pc players, and you would be lucky to kill a good pc player

Uh, two things.
1.) Bungie didn't make the port, Gearbox did (so blame them [minor technicality, I know]).
2.) We didn't get any extra levels (yes to weapons [fuel rod, and flamethrower], no to levels, or at least I haven't seen any new ones, and I own both versions... they didn't even change The Library *grunt*)

It would be REALLY REALLY cool to play with PC users, it would finally put an end to the arguements (one can hope).

Xboxers have a slight advantage that no one has mentioned yet... Auto-Aim/Tracking, a feature PC users do not use in online play... ever (in fact, it is greatly frowned upon with cries of "HACKS" followed by an uncouth amount of exclamation marks and curses). This ability being most likely removed in a head to head competition, I think PC users might be on top... that's just my humble opinion though...
