I have PC and have played 2 alot, but recently every time i play it, campagin or multiplayer it just seems like something is missing, and every time i play it it gets worse. this feeling is compounded when i go play PC, it just seems so much better.
Does any one else get this feeling?

Heyyo,

HaloPC maybe quite the spamfest at times.. but Halo2's nearly pure spamfest.. it's all aboot dual weilding any gun that's rapidfire since the pistol's are pretty useless.. so yeah, last time I played Halo2 then HaloPC? I felt the same man.

Hey if i had a dime for every... Oh, wait lemme look at that post again...

WOAH! SOMEONE MADE A THREAD ABOUT HALO 2 THAT NOT ONLY RELATES TO PC, BUT IS PRETTY GOOD!

Dude, If I knew your Paypal account, I'd give you a dollar.

Anyway, when I decide that it's time for my weekly @$$ whomping, I go and play Halo 2 on Xbox vs some of my friends. I have discovered that you either wanna have the sword, the sniper rifle, or two SMG's cause all else is useless. I'm agreeing with MaRD, cause they don't feel that much different. I opted for the sniper approach, and that's my approach on PC. I guess If I exposed myself to the other aspects of the game, it might feel different.

Nice, not repetitive thread,

Know why? Halo was a pure game. No BS like any other game out there. It's like counter-strike. Two guns, grenades, your team, go kick the crap out of the other team. That wa the beauty of Halo. Halo 2 is jam packed and while it is fun, I dunno, I definately see your point.

I think that the physics have become corny, and the weapons dont work right, o well it almost feels like a stpipped down dersion of halo instead of a sequel

Yeah I’ve played both and i just find to have something more, ya know? the weapons seem to be more far apart by type were in H2 they all seem to have the same feeling, and H2 seems cheaper to me multi player wise, like the missile hog spits out a lot more missiles a lot faster, the RL now has seeking missiles whether it needed it or not and the banshees plasma canons are more over kill now then the FR, you could dodge FR's! there are no longer head shots and the shot gun has a hell of a long reload. and if your in close rang dual wielding and your not the first to fire the shot your dead. it just seems like they took out the best elements of the first halo that i had come to love.

I would take Halo PC or Halo 1 over Halo 2 any day! Maybe its because nothing is like the original. I just laugh every time my friend asks me to play him in Halo 2 because he could pwn me. Thats nice, after playing some H2, lets put in Halo or Halo PC and see what happens. I definately feel weird after playing H2 then Halo 1/PC. But its a good feeling when you are back to normal on Halo 1. And with the whole weapon thing.... The only time you had a chance was if you were dualing, had PR/BR combo, Sniper, Rockets, or Sword. And if you were in close combat, you were screwed if the opponent had sword. Even if you had OS. But to stay on topic, I know the feeling. A feeling which will always be with me!

Halo pc is classic! Everyone I know thinks that H2 is better because it's newer, but it seems, well, watered down. Like they're trying to strech the story too much.

When Halo was being made, it didn't have all the hype, the intrest, the fame, the pressure it does now. They made a great game because they wanted to not because all the fans wanted them to. With Halo 2 they should have pulled a blizzard and made sure it was properly balanced. Although it is harder on a console and you can't find every problem, there were some things that definately should have been caught.

Everything seems so thin like they over did the bumbmaping and didnt do enough actual moddeling like they just slapped it on.

Let's not forget the trackball with system-raised sensitivity, for 180 turns in no time.
Because 10 always seems slower on a better "box"

uh-oh i'd rather not be faced with a Halo PC vs. Halo 2 sucks! thread on our hands, there's already too many of Halo vs. Halo 2 over in New Mombasa. Anyways yes i like playing Halo PC because it is esentially a "different" game than Halo, it doesn't really even feel like a sequel, since the 2 games are so different it would be hard for me to say which one was better. But each game has different elements, and unfortunately since i don't have an xbox there are time when i'm like "hey i really feel like going online and owning some people in shotuguns on wizard" and there times like "man, i wish i could go over to my friend's house cause i really want to play Swords" oh, and there's times wheni feel the need to "go burn things..." but that's another story.ANyways.... really they're two different games and i want to play both of them really bad!!!...right now...by!

I don't know, Davis - comparing Halo PC to Counter-Strike really doesn't do it much justice. Halo 2 is a more in-depth FPS - the AI is better, the graphics are nice, and the amount weapon combinations is huge. Halo PC, however, forced upon most of us some strategy - see Halo is, and should be a thinking man's game - not one for any four-year old who click buttons faster than his neurons can fire (o_0). We will always love the original. PC has brought together so many elements of computer gaming that it is almost alien to any console game. They are two very different games and honestly - I don't care which one is better, because I have fun playing either one. I think that it just depends on how well you can match your style of play...
