Bungie/M$ will port it to the PC after they squeeze every last penny out of H2 sales.

One of the chapter titles is called " Delta Halo" so I figured they were rererring to the 2nd Halo they just landed on. There are, like, six of them.

Mr. B - Swap out your RAM. Test it 1 stick at a time if you can. I had the same problem with my two 512 meg sticks. One was bad, so I had it replaced.

Are your mobo's bus speeds set properly in the bios? Are you overclocking the ram?

Heyyo,

Hmm, this can be caused by the videocard dude, my hl2 kept naggin' me to get the latest drivers, and I did. Hl2 runs smoother, and btw, the ai for hl2's pretty dumb on easy and medium, but put it on hard? they tend to know how to duck behind cover n' stuff to avoid dying. If you want some pretty strong ai play Counter-strike Source on harder difficulties, they put on quite the show. Some of it feels scripted, but most parts don't. The only part that's obviously scripted is when a CT attempts to rescure a hostage, the remaining terrorist bots instantly know to go and camp at rescue zones. :p

Look guys its really obvious why they wont brign out halo 2 for pc. They did for halo 1 because halo 1 ddint have an xbox live connection. If they made a pc version with gamespy multiplayer the multiplayer would be free and it would draw gamers away from xbox live. This way they would probably lose more then they would gain.

NO THEY ARNT MAKIGN HALO 2 FOR PC

Um, no. See, not everyone who has Halo 2 has Xbox Live. Also, had they even launched Xbox Live when Halo came out for the Xbox launch? As well, Halo PC is still one of the top selling PC games around, coupled with the hype generated by Halo 2's release, plus the fact that it's easier to port an Xbox game to the PC than it is to port, say, a PS2 game to the Xbox, so as I have already said, most of the work is already done. It boils down to minimal investment to produce an already established product in a market place- video game players, who are keenly aware of the products existence and mythology.

Plus, Microsoft is heavily invested in PC gaming, since they kinda invented DirextX, probably are not willing to throw all that investment away and alienate about 100 million PC gamers globally, and their new scripting and graphics languages, XMI, or whatever it's called is being developed cross platform, for the Xbox and PC.

Games like Mech Assault 2 are the titles that don't get ported to the PC, because PC gamers remember how great MW2 and 4 were, and probably aren't willing to accept Mechwarrior: The Dumbening.

No one can prove that Halo 2 will see the light of day on the PC, just as you can't prove that it won't.

My gut says yes, and I trust my gut.

They would sell -blam!-loads of copies, you idiot. And besides, free online, oh well, that happens with ALL PC games. Halo 1 did have internet play...XBC.

They would gain more money by selling millions of PC copies.

I think you are retarded. I'm sorry, if there's anything I can do to help...like remove your brain and insert something that would work better...say a peanut or potato chip....just ask :D

Unfortunately, you don't speak for Bungie, Microsoft, Gearbox or even the US government. You don't even have proof that there is "no Halo 2 PC" and likewise we have no "proof that Halo 2 is coming". And also any source you found is down-right wrong. The FAQS has said "no comments" at this time so neither your party group or ours is right. Next time you should refrain from making stupid comments or buy us an Xbox if you want us to play Halo 2 so badly on the Xbox instead of waiting for the PC. Other then, you should think smartly before posting something this stupid.

Damn right there is a lot of unintelligent talk in this forum from people with no backup.

Halo 2 for PC? I don't know--NOBODY knows except Microsoft and maybe Bungie.

The rest of it could go on all day... Maybe if they were going to produce Halo 2 for the PC they already would have. Maybe they are going to do it now because they want to make sure all the bugs in Halo 2 are worked out. Maybe it's easy to port an Xbox game to a PC format..

Saying one gaming system is better than another is downright stupid too. They are all good.

I prefer lightning quick and accurate aim with the mouse and a decent key config--I get more out of the game. Yes. Lag sucks.

Others get more out of games from the simplicity of sitting in front of the living room TV with their buddies playing a system that never ever requires maintenance.

BOTH formats are good.

As an old-schooler I remember when we played Pac-Man and Donkey-Kong (and walked 10 miles in the snow to get to school). Funny, that was only 15 years ago.

I like Halo's story and obviously the soundtrack. "The Fall of Reach" is actually a pretty good book, and Grand Moff Marty's amazing sounds actually inspired me to get a new synth and get back into music--its all a revolution for sure.

But thinking about 15 years from now in an industry progressing within a timeframe where technology improves exponentially, I think we all have bigger fish to fry--very soon. This forum topic is all dogma.

Get up to speed you guys and practice for when gaming is a bonified sport, instead of bickering about it--that's what I say! Man!

"Hey remember when you could look at graphics and tell they were fake!"

"aahhh hahaha yeah I remember those days."

Heyyo,

Yeah, everything's aboot opinions, us humans love to ciritisize and opinionate everything, if you diddn't? I'd think you're either a freak or inhuman. see? I just ciritisized, it's the human thing to do. ;)

I'm sure myself they'd bring it to pc for massive revenue, but only after Halo 2.5 is released, and a few months after that cause M$ is a money whore, and wants as many $box live accounts going as possible.

Oh, and I already look at and laugh at the days I thought Duke Nukem 3D looked realisitic, same with marathon... :p

Halo 2.5 ... I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels H2 shipped before it was finished.

Heyyo,

Think aboot it there dude, Halo2 is one of the 1st console games with an update system, so errors occur, they need to fix them. Hopefully they fix how retarded the pistol is compared to even the battle rifle.

Halo 2.5 is (obviously) created as the marketing toll for $box2. Halo1 was the selling point of $box1, it's only "right" that Halo2.5 be the selling point of $box2.

I agree about the magnums in halo 2 not being as good... They'd be deadly if you could get a mouse for the Xbox.

But then again lets be fair and assume that Bungie didn't want to make the game too easy. Imagine the slaughter that could occur with dual-wielding of a plasma pistol and one of the old human pistols that zoom-aim... It'd be too easy!

I like having a shot gun and a sniper. Not dual wielding of course cuz you can't...

If Halo 2 does come out for the personal computer, what would the dual wield be like? What key/button would you press to shoot the weapon in the left hand? But let's leave this question for later.

There has to be a Halo 2 for PC. M$ just wants to suck the money out of people's pockets. Soon, Halo 2 sales will lower and to get more money they will release a PC version.

But another thing, the specifications. I don't really know alot about graphics cards, but Xbox uses a modified nVidia GeForce 3 graphics card with DirectX 8. The clock speed of the Xbox's CPU is 733mhz or something. And the RAM of the Xbox is only 64 MB. I don't know alot about computers, but how does the Xbox handle Halo 2 with that specifications? It's strange! If you tried to run Halo PC on an Xbox, it wouldn't work.

I think the minimum specifications would be this:
-Microsoft Windows 2000/XP (Longhorn?)
-1.5-3.0 gHz Intel Pentium
-128-786 MB RAM
-1-4 GB Hard Disk Space
-DirectX 9 (10?) compatible graphics card with 128-512 MB VRAM
-Sound Card
-Keyboard and Mouse
-Broadband for Online

Now the online! The online would be great because its free! No monthly/yearly fee or and thing like that. And you can get updates.

Bottom line: It would be great for Halo 2 to be on the PC!

Chaotix TM, IMO the specs for Halo 2 PC shouldn`t be too high cause it`s not such a graphicly demanding game...i mean realy...look at it

P4 @ 1.8 would do
512 RAM would do if it won`t get ported so miserably as Halo 1
ATI 9600pro
and about 2/3 GB space(the game is on a DVD affter all and just think about PoP: WW)
in this config the game would run smoothly but could have some slowness at some points where lots of crap is loaded and stuff
