I guess bungie has decided not to make Halo 2 for the Comp because the makers of Halo 2 CE did it for them. Yeah Halo 2 CE is the bomb but I want to play the campaign on my comp! I don't want to buy an Xbox when I have the most powerful gaming system in the world? I want to play an new refitted Internet gaming arena like in Halo 2. I have been waiting for Halo 2 on Computer since day 1 of playing Halo on Xbox. All I ask is for you to try, Try to make the best sequel game in the world on the best game system in the world.

uhh..... havent you read the answers to questions saying that they havent got a release date, but not saying that they wont make it on PC. they will wait untill the sales are down (around the end of this year or so) and then bring it out on computer to boost their profits. i would do it. but im gonna buy the Xbox and halo2 and Xbox live since i dont think i can wait till the end of the year.

Apparently the 'big money' is on a Christmas release, makes sense really.
Btw you mentioned having the best sequel in the world on the best system in the world?
I thought Half-Life 2 was already on PC.

It is, Half Life has always been on PC, I don't think it was ever ported anywhere else.
But could a computer even support Halo 2's graphics? Remember how Bungie made a patch becuase some of the stuff wasn't bumpmapped?

Considering the X-box is basically a pc with windows2000, a 733Mhz pentium 3 with 64Mb ram and a 250Mhz graphics card....

I think a P4 with 1Gb ram and a Radeon 9800 would be able to hand that quite easily. :)

Yes Smurf that's coz the xbox is too slow to load the detail textures and bump-maps before you see the MC's plain model. This wouldn't happen on a mid-high end computer, providing they don't screw up on the porting again. Most xbox owners don't even realise that they're box of 'extreme unrivalled gaming power' is in fact rivalled and surpassed by an ultra-low end PC.

Ach! Was ist los?

Of course, XBoxen make great low-end PCs themselves...

Yeah I dunno if you guys have noticed this about Halo 2 (on xbox duh) but sometimes when a cut scene starts all the people look like they're made of play dough for like 2 seconds and then all the textures come.
