Totally true. The lag on most servers SUCKS..it is free though, which is nice, and you can play multiplayer without Xbox live....
Does live even support the original Halo? I don't have a live account so I've never tried it or bothered to ask.

The higher res on the comp does look better, but I think playability is a ton better on the xbox. Maybe it's just the controller though.

I got the UK dvd with that piece of film on. It shows areas of halo from way way earlier. Plus it has a commentary from the Bungie team!

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

Altho i've been following Halo ever since the first ever trailer for the mac (the one where he lures the 2 elites out of the building then drives away in the warthog, and then the ambush the Elites and he points his gun at there heads!) i do think that MP rules on X-Live just because of the ability that every1 is equal, no one has an uber good computer which kicks arse. AND the head set AND System link AND Co-Operative and the fact that an X-Box isnt obsolete within 3 months due to a new model!

Andz J brings out the best point about xbox. it levels the playing field. gameplay is based entirely on skill and not hardware.

Yeah, and on PC(Along with the advent of HaloCE) it seems like there are a LOT of people who have figured out how to hack the Game, and they like to cheat. That really makes it no fun for the rest of us. I played a game the other night where the other guy had built in a hack on his server that always gave his team 2 tanks and all of the warthogs at the start - and the other side started with NO vehicles. The vehicles would also always respawn at their base RIGHT after someone would either leave the vehicle or get...errr..."removed" from it. How is that fun for anyone else?

ok, i know many people have probably already said this, but i just feel like saying it.

because Xbox is better, and PC sucks. hell, they probably shouldn't even have it come out for PC. make those PCer's suffer.

I'm going to figure out a way to mod a rocket launcher into a "a rocket machine gun" that has an infinite amount of ammunition and fires 500 rounds per minute. Then, whenever anyone pulls out a cheat or an unfair mod, I'm going to pull it out and use it against them. That would rock.

Who said anything about finishing it in a day?
