Well i already have Halo for the xbox but i was wondering whether or not to buy Halo on the PC as well. I have downloaded the trial and, after a few patches for my graphics card and a little fiddling with the resolution it worked perfectly. However i concidered that if i was going to buy Halo PC i might as well install Halo CE (Custom Edition). i really love the online play and love killing people i don't even know. i thought that if i was going to install CE with the full game i wanted to test it first. So could you PC gamers give me your thoughts on this and whether or not it would work. Thanx

Richy.

Nope. CE needs you to enter your cd-key which comes with Halo PC. As well, Halo CE is the exact same as Halo PC with these differences.
1) There is no single player
2) Fast shaders can increase performance of "some" video cards by 25%.
3) There are no mods for Halo CE. Instead, you can make maps with a 3d editor (like 3ds max or G-max) and add mods into your map.
4) The custom maps rock. There is no doubt about it, some of them are as good or better than the originals.
5) There is less lag, and you do not have to lead your shots.. However, since nobody has a really good "dedicated" server like the Bungie servers, it is harder to get a low ping.
