I'm sorry, but.................stfu, I dont think halo 2 will be right no the PC but for the PC fans out there, they should have the enjoyment of halo2 on the PC. Halo and Halo 2 are more well known and mucho bueno oon the Xbox and that should and will stay that way

Because xbox can cope much more easily... people who have the pc need AMAZING pcs to run it well.

It's a lot easier to create games if you've got set hardware parameters to work with, so it's always finished first...

Microsoft want people to buy their console so they can play the game.

I would have thought all of this as common sense.....

I prefer it on Xbox anyway... I can't play Halo with a mouse and keyboard, and if there is anyway to plug the Xbox controller or something similar into the computer (I know there are gamepad thingys), I am too cheap or lazy to do it. Plus, no hardware issues with my Xbox, I would need a new video card to run it. I can't even run Far Cry (I downloaded a demo).

this is where i bought mine. then you have to find drivers for it. there are a couple different versions on the internet. they list some on the website. find the one that works best for you.

Oh, and if you want the real reason why (at least why I think), it is because MS owns Bungie, and happens to coincidentally own Xbox also... so connecting the links, Halo 2 on Xbox = $$$$ for MS.

Huh? Halo came out for the Xbox first - it was the selling point for the Xbox because it was the first major game that came out for it. It wasn't released for PC until much later - Bungie and Microsoft brought in Gearbox in to help adapt the game to the PC platform. That's also why there's new maps, deeper textures, new weapons and banshees in multiplayer on the PC version, because Bungie had a chance to listen to what users thought was lacking in multiplayer, and then release a verison with more cool stuff so Xbox users would also buy it for the PC. It definitely came out for the Xbox first.

this whole debate over pc vs xbox tires me. why are so many xbox people fanatic about it not coming out on pc? will it ruin the game for you? will it remove an ounce of fun that you have playing the game? has halo coming out for the pc ruined halo on the xbox for you?

personally i prefer playing on the xbox. i think halo is better experienced on the xbox. the live features that halo 2 will have will be a big thing that the pc people will miss out on if bungie decides to make it for the pc. i think some people just need to grow up and let this argument die because it doesn't really matter.
