IDK Im a Xbox gamer and a PC gamer, And I dotn want Halo 2 for the PC, I think you shoudl jsut buy an Xbox and a copy of Halo 2 and stop whining. And heres another thing, Halo 2 on the PC mighrt be a good game but I dont have a computer or connection to run it. all I have a Pentium 4 1.7, 256MB pc 800 RDRAM ATI Radeon 9600 XT.
Fact 1: Majority of most PC gamer do not and will not buy Xbox for one game. Too expensive especially for only having about 20 hours of fun time, somewhat stupid for a 200 dollar entertainment there, and once that is done, the Xbox is paper weight. And don't bother saying anything about good games on Xbox, there isn't any that is interesting. MechAssault 2? HA! That was stolen by Microsoft after they rushed Mechwarrior 4 for the PC and found it a failure, proof they don't know a thing about PC games.
Fact 2: PC multipleplayer game has always been free since Doom. No purpose in paying an additional $50 dollar for Xbox live. Look at Counterstrike, free. Look at Halo PC, free also, and not to mention, playing with custom level.
Fact 3: Majority of most PC Gamer uses the mouse and keyboard. Controller is considered inferior to the eased use of the keyboard and mouse.
Fact 4: Regardless Halo 2 goes to PC doesn't make your Xbox Halo 2 disk disappear. Its called enjoying the game the way you want it. Half Life 2 is going on Xbox for the people who uses controller, Doom 3 going on also, you don't see PCgamers rioting seeing their two best games going on the console, its called tolerating everything.

No, I dont think they will. And if they do, you would need a $3K computer to run it. You see how much it takes to run HL2? Times that by about three because Bungie/Gearbox will end up upping the graphics. And also if they did, they wouldent release it for another year er so, because then Bungie/Microsoft will be done milking every cent out of Halo2.
Long story short, unless you get 100FPS+ on HL2 DM then dont even think of Halo2PC.
No offense, you're either on crack or you sure don't know anything about computers and thus don't know what you're talking about. My computer is probably worth $1100 (including monitor and digital speaker) and I am playing Half Life 2, Doom 3, Far Cry, Painkiller, and Halo PC at 1600x1024. So if you think every high end computer is 3k, then you refrain from making yourself look stupid here in the Halo PC forum.
