I can't wait till dual wielding. STORYTIME!!!!!

I was playing halo 2 at my friends house and I learned that dual wielding a plasma pistol makes for an easy kill so when I played halo PC next I kept throwing away good weps for a plasma pistol then trying to dual wield. It took me a week to stop.

I also can't wait for the campaign. I know people say its short and stupid and things like that but its halo! I want to know what happens. Don't spoil it for me here please.

Heyyo,

Haha, yes, the boarding should be great fun, probably me fav addon to the halo universe from Halo2 right there. I've always wanted to leap onto the vehicle and beat 8 tons of crap outt the driver.. I've attempted thsi on Halo2 for xbox.. but having to release the right joystick to slam that button's just annoying cause then the vehicle literally needs to be coming straight at you for this to work..

Dual Weilding should be cool, but I dunno, not that huge..

The storyline will also be something I'm looking forward to. Hopefully they don't skip on this for Halo2PC and actually do it coop for us. Over the internet would be greatly appreciated. And ugh, their excuses for leaving it out for Halo1PC are soo lame.. advanced ai... blablabla.. Far Cry has more advanced ai than Halo1PC and it has up to 8 players coop.

1. Coop
2. Better graphics
3. Free multiplayer

Yes, the storyline, for a generic sci-fi, is awesome. Cannot wait.

I'll Agree with Sexy Legs Davis here on his wishlist. Also, Seeing the confilcting sources, i would trust the developer, not a magazine (no offense intended). The reliability of the source counts too.

Now, if WaTsoN does prove to be correct, the 2008 date is probably the macintosh release date :(

tired of it all,

If Bungie Have a Good Marketing Dept, I'd expect them to be wanting to have a PC version of Halo 2 Ready to hit the Shelves for Q4 2005.

But, I would Not be surprised at all if MS wants to Milk Halo 2 on X-Box to try to get people to buy X-Box's, Nor would I be Surprised if MS Has a Clause in the contract with Bungie to force them to Comply with such a Demand.

Will I Buy an X-Box just to play Halo 2? Nope! Why?

For one, I see it as a Colossal Waste of Money, and Console Graphics Simply Cannot Compare to those on a Decent PC, consoles are simply to Limited, and don't give me the line about consoles being Optimized specially for graphics (trust me I know what I'm talking about), X-Box will only Output at a max resolution of about 640x480/800x600, Average Grade PC's can Output at Resolutions of more than twice that.

A good Analogy would be, Why Buy a Yugo/Lada when you need a Ferrari & could get one for nearly the same price?:)

I'll Wait for Halo 2 PC thank you!
In the Mean time, I'll play the Halo CE Halo2 Mod Maps Online :D

Heyyo,

I doupt we'll see Halo2PC anytime soon guys. at least 1-2 years wait... why? marketing. stupid, stupid marketing. It's a ploy. Soon that xbox2 will come out, with it Halo 2.5... when does x2 come out? maybe this year, but probably next. Wait another 5-8 months, then they will probably JUST start production for Halo2PC... so we're looking at quite the wait my friends. Bah, by then I'll have a waaaay better game: S.T.A.L.K.E.R... OMG GUYS! this will definately be one of the GREATEST games for the pc. RPG elements built into a post-nuclear FPS... WITH COOP MODE!? I'm freakin' pre-ordering this bad boy. No way Halo2 will be able to compete against this game. ;)

http://www.stalker-game.com

I can see it now guys.. me n' me buds finding another group of salvagers... we start negotiations with them, have 1-3 guys on some rooftops, decide we'd rather kill them and take all the loot ourselfs, open fire, have a hummer or 2 roll in behind them to flank them n' then take their trucks, their findings, their guns, their food & water for ourselves.. then we celebrate with a feast, while taking turns watching out for mutants that might feast on us.. we're some mean nuclear-waste zone buggers. :)

But ti'll S.T.A.L.K.E.R. comes out? I shall be buying Battlefield2, F.E.A.R., and maybe a few other games. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. already has a great mod planned for it: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Theft Auto. YES! GTA in incredible 3d graphics multiplayer? ooohhh yeah... ok, so MTA is pretty good multiplayer, but it's not nearly as good as GTA1&2 multiplayer. ;)

So in other words guys? my drive for Halo2PC is pretty much dried up, I've moved onto a better game.. or 3. If Halo2PC comes out in 2 years? I might check it out.. but no guarantees that I won't uninstall it and leap back into a game of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. :p

Mard did you copy and paste it then or double post? Anyway, i think that it would definately come out for christmas this year, but because the people have been waiting for it for so long, they are going to buy it anyway, not for the prezzies.

well they usually change some stuff but personally i just want it come out on pc. i would have killed them if i wasn't pretty sure that it would be coming out at some point. does anyone know why people think that the first halo on pc sucks? i thought it was just as good as on XB.

Halo 1 for PC definitely trumped Halo for xbox. As far as gfx go - yeah 2.5 years after the damned game comes and the hardware catches up to it the gfx look better on PC, but when Halo for PC Debuted, gfx looked better on xbox. But don't take my word for it, swap your X800 for a GeForce 4000 series and check the difference. (Yes I've done this). I've said this a million times....1 of 3 things will happen before Halo 2 for PC will release:

1. 2 years will pass from the release of Halo 2 for xbox
2. Xbox 2 will debut
3. Halo 3 for Xbox will drop

Who knows - any combination of these could happen at the same time...

Remember people, Gearbox did the port for Halo 1, and Gearbox hasn't officially said anything - I doubt Bungie has it already packaged and sitting on a shelf. It will be some time. Try a mod or two and get you money's worth out of the first one.

The grapics should be half-life style,so even low-end pc's should make it!

And bungie full support for editing kit ( with ai )

Well, iv'e deffinetly had nothing but disapointments when it comes to the halo universe on PC. It like as a side note Microsoft was like, hey gearbox go port halo to pc really fast. And the longer it takes halo 2 to come to pc the less thrilled i will be. I love halo, but theres a certain limit of being ignored i can take, which is why a patch would be nice!!

Go here to help get a patch!!

I've played halo 2 on Xbox a couple of times at my mates place. Wasn
t really that impressed. To be honest, the graphics wearn't as great as I thought they would be. In multiplayer, the gameplay was sometimes chunky, which is not that surprising for something running on a 700mhz Celeron. Pity they don't make the PC version 1st then port it to Xbox, Gamers would get much better performance instead of a dodgy port.

I just can't stop laughing at all this "Halo is better on the Xbox" bull-blam!-. A few facts.

Xbox:
22 Frames Per Second Max
Celeron 700mhz
Geforce 3, some p.o.s
50hz on the average TV

my PC:
Pentium 4 3.0ghz (3000mhz)
No FPS cap
Geforce FX 5900XT
Choose your refresh rate (generally 85hz)

When playing on your Xbox, sit as close to it as you sit to your computer, you'll see a big difference. Or, when on your PC, stand back for a bit as far as you do for the Xbox and see the difference. If you think the Xbox looks better than the PC then it's either

Your an idiot, can't setup your graphic settings properly.
You've never played on the PC.
Or your seeing what you want to see.

Just becase the developers can't make a properly made PC version that runs like it should, doesn't mean the Xbox is better. Besides, the Xbox IS a PC. Just a very very very old one with dodgy parts that only has the capability to run games.

And in the end why is PC greater than XBox? Why, the mouse of course! Better aim and control with a mouse and keyboard.

I really will snatch up Halo 2 for PC when it comes out, can't wait for mods, free online (I hope...)

(First part is side tangent, and slightly ranting. If you wish, please ignore and skip to second part, which is denoted by a capital line).
Well, you PC users have it good compared to us Mac users.

Two years, yeah right for a Mac. Think 4, or 6 if you use one.

That is one of the biggest reasons Blizzard games sell well. they release simultaneously for Macintosh.

Still, I can wait. All it means is that it will run faster, more reliably, and better when it comes out. I mean, they tested it out and worked out all the bugs on you people (i hope).

SECOND PART

Yeah, i guess it is a little unfair. But you have to remember, the Halo series was, and always will be, an Xbox game. It was originally designed and engineered for it, so the Xbox people will always have an up on us lowly computer users.

HOWEVER, Bungie is, if nothing, loyal to its computer users (or so i've noticed). They were originally a computer company (eg. Marathons Series, Myth), and will not forget (I hope) their computer users. Hopefully MacSoft will hold up its end of the deal concerning their part in the glory of bungie...

yeah, anyway, hopefully i haven't killed the thread, and i haven't made myself out as such a dumbass (I do that often), that I've killed my reliability base.

Stay Cool,
Yout3

why dont anyone realize that halo was origanlly going to be a mac only game the only reason halo is an xbox game is because microsoft some how got wind of halo and bought bungie bungie started out as a mac only video game maker i dont wanna list bungie's entire history so look the rest up yourselves

Yep, it was originally gonna be a mac and later pc strategy type game where u control a unit of marines and stuff. Then good ol' msoft came in and thought it was good so bought it up and made it exlusive for xbox, which is sad really.

Halo 2 on the PC will be awsome!!!!!!!! Man I can't wait for it! I shooter games are often easier to play on the PC since you've got a mouse. I hope we'll get more maps in the Pc ver. and I want more weapons!!!!!!!!! Vehicles are needed because we can't drive some of the vehicles in single player in multi in the XBOX ver. ( right? I think I oughta check...)
Anyway though I have HALO 2 on XBOX already I'm still gonna by the PC ver!!!!!!!!!!!!!
