I was always under the impression that Bungie was the driving force behind Halo for PC/Mac. Not Bill. They promised that Halo would still come out for the PC/Mac to smooth over the MS merger/buyout thing for their old timer fans like myself. Halo 2 has no such motivation behind it, so sadly my money's on never.

The accociated lag could be a lot of reasons, not excluding, your system setup, the location of the server you're playing at, the time at which you play, and how many polys are running through the game at once. That's a lot of processing power, if you haven't already try turning your visual qualities all the way down for multiplayer, you'll notice a huge difference.

Mouse and keyboard controls versus the annoying joystick/pad of xbox.
I've been playing on both PCs and consoles (ataris!!!) since I can remember, and I have always prefered the smooth accuracy of a mouse and keyboard combo.

Here Here! (Raises glass to keyboard & mouse love) Also, another good way to improve performance is to force pixel shader 1.4 or lower. I personally have two desktop shortcuts, one for SP & one for MP. The MP one forces PS14 and runs a lot better.

brace urselves to wait along time for halo 2 pc, perhaps not as long as the first one but it will be a long time in coming. microsoft will want to use halo 2 to push more xbox sales, having it available on 2 formats will not help sell more xbox`s.

Microsoft will wait one to two years, because first-person shooters are meant for PC not consoles really, otherwise if mircosoft releases halo 2 for PC a couple of days later people will mostly buy it for PC not Xbox and most people who own an Xbox has a PC so they would rather buy a first-person shooter for PC.

Halo and Halo 2 are not the only good games for Xbox. Jeez, you guys act like the Xbox is the pinnacle of evil, or something, and the only games for it are Halo and Halo 2.

My PC sucks. I hate computers. They're outdated by something better every 5 seconds, and all of a sudden your awesome $3,000 computer is a peice of crap. I LOVE the stability, universal compatability, lag-free online play, and overall longevity of a console.

i would have to agree with voden. bungie definitely wants the people that hav halo pc to drool over halo 2 and how its only for xbox(theoreticly) this will want nonxbox owners to buy one and buy halo 2 aswell. even if halo 2 does come out it won't be for a while. they want people to cheep to buy one go insane at how it looks and how it plays making u just want to buy an xbox and halo 2. also people would much rather play halo 2 for pc even with an xbox cuz of multiplayer interupting with the sales towards the xbox halo 2. of course everything is about the money.

I hope soon, but I will be happy if they at least do it, then it would be sweet.

As long as it comes to PC, it doesnt matter when. Just SOON!

[color=teal]I agree with Marcarious all the way. PC games suck, you must have the nessacary graphic card, ram space, hardrive space, sounds cards, and processer. Its just a pain in the ass, why bother making Halo 2 for the PC? Its rather dumb and pointless. A large amount that would play the game, don't have cable or DSL, so every game they go to will cause some or alot of lag. But XboxLive is only for cable and DSL users, making it much better to play under, console have much better graphic then you would find on a computer, but I can easily pay 180 for the custom edition halo console, rather paying so much to upgrade a computer that I won't probabily use for any other game. Wow, that really shows how much PC users have it so much better then us console gamers. =/ Xbox all the way.[/color]
