Oh, no doubt about it. Dual wielding seems to double the amount of weapons, though there are a select few combos I'd ever think about using.

I'm not sure how they could eliminate the server having 0 ping, unless they add artificial ping or send the signals including the server's through a central hub somewhere, so everyone has a little ping.

I like online play and all for Halo 2, but I just think the fact that you can make custom content. I mean, there's a Halo 2 CE crew and all. But yeah, the duel-weild and graphics are a major plus.
I don't have xboxlive so I just like pc more cause I can play it online.
Neither is better than the other really, Halo 2 is the better in gameplay stock, but I prefer all the custom features and the fact that if I learned how I could make whatever I want.

Killed by the guardians!!! By far the best line ever put into a video game. Except for maybe all your base are belong to us, but the was unintentional so I don't think that counts.

Dual weilding overrated? Give me a PR and a Magnum and I'll give you a BR and tell me if its overrated.

Despite that, DW still sucks just because it contributes to Halo 2's main problem which is weapon imbalance. That weapon imbalance is not present in Halo 1. No one was certain they'd get a flag in Halo 1 once they grabed the Rocket, and if anyone can say the same after they pick up the Rocket on offense in Zanzibar, that person is an idiot.

Halo PC involves an insane degree of skill to master. The lag is pratically universal, you won't be experiencing certain lag in one server and more lag in another. Overall, as soon as you get used to the overall feel of aiming ahead (BTW, noobs. You had to aim ahead in Halo 1 too. Just because Halo 2's auto aim is so damn present that you hardly require a thumb to shoot someone doesn't mean having to aim ahead is a bad thing), which is another factor that seperates the bad from the good players (A seperation not present in Halo 2). In Halo CE, you have an environment full of people where you can create any gametype you want on any map you want and as long as your connection is solid, you'll have a packed game within a few minutes.

I enjoy Halo 2, but Halo PC is immensely superior IMO and I have trouble taking any opposing opinion seriously only because in my eyes, its so clearly obvious that Halo 2's balance issues hold it back from living up to its potential that knocking a game as good as Halo CE for anything aside from graphics and being outdated just seems illogical to me.

I can only pray that Halo 1 wasn't just a fluke on Bungie's part, and their great job with Halo PC reassures me of that fact. The lag free and voice chat environment of Halo 2 is tempting in the beginning, but in the end I just got bored of it. However, I still play it to this day, but in conjunction with Halo PC and I do just fine.

Halo 2 PC shouldn't fail to dissapoint. If it utilizes the same system that Halo PC did, I'll be more than happy.

Taking away the ability to play custom games with an online community granted by XBX and Halo PC is the second bigest mistake Bungie made with Halo 2, IMO. I hope they don't implement their crap matchmaking system in Halo 2 PC.

GoAtBoYz, why do you assume that none of us has played halo 2 before. I have, so has SLD and a bunch of other members. We know about boosting, and Knave has almost perfected it on his ghost in halo CE

But a google search works just as well. Ex: i entered "Me15ter" into the box and pulled up many long lost threads i created and replied to.

BTW, i think hes talking about a search in general, not specifically on bungie.net.

You know, Halo 1 for pc is more true to the Halo style. It involved longer range fighting instead of in your face spray bullets at everybody and hope to god I get a kill of Halo 2. In addition, there was no ridiculous amount of auto-aim (sniping in Halo 2 is far too easy and creates whoring contests), there were mods, there were new maps, you got to choose servers, you had good and honorable competition instead of corpse humping 5 year olds dropping f-bombs at every shot they got, only to get wasted later on and cry...

Halo 2 invokes anger among people, is very competitive, I dunno, not very friendly. That's why I came back to PC. Much more of the intellectual crowd, plus a game that demands more skill than anything. To own in Halo, you had to learn to use the pistol well, lead rockets without tracking, not use auto-aim, and be aware of your surroundings and take cover. Skill...Halo 1 owns that department. It also owns in the expandability area, too, with custom content. Amen to Halo PC.

the only reasons i think that halo pc tops halo 2 is that halo 2 has huge graphics glitches in it (biggest one being the visible loading of models/textures...i hate that.) also that halo 2 is xbox only. i hate that too. then theres the fact that you have to PAY for multiplayer. PC is free online. then theres the fact that halo pc can use mouse/keyboard (i never can get the controller down).

and those of you who say "it's a sequel, therefore it is better," are using a logical fallacy, because you assume that all sequels are better than the original. That isn't necessarily true. personally, as soon as they make halo 2 pc, its gonna be greatest game of all time for me (mainly cause they will do what they did with halo pc, and fix all the glitches in graphics and gameplay) (too bad they -blam!- up the netcode)

Lol, the graphical stutters on cutscenes. I can't stand the poor resolution on a tv and xbox anymore, though. That's why I solely play pc games now.

Isn't the resolution on a tv only 640x480? That is another point to the PC side of the PC vs Console argument.

well the thing is, the console is low res, but since you sit far away from your tv (or should), you dont really notice (unless your tv is really crapppyyyy, like the one my parents make me use...)

Halo Ce, is by far more customizable then h2 out there anyways... besides you got people outside of microsoft making maps for you.. instead of boring xlive updates and stuff... and a sever match doesn't do much good.. most of the time the match sucks.. not enough challenge... and who cares if u got against a whole team.. i mean.. it's just a damn game.
