I have searched "www.gamespot.com" for announcements made on weither halo 2 will be made for pc. There has been no anouncements so far.

I would have to say that making a pc version would be bad for microsoft though. In making a pc version, xbox live won't be as much of a hype as it is now. For, people would get the pc version where playing multiplayer would be free. And could u imagine not having a mic to talk to people. I have halo 1 for pc and u don't want to be typing in the heat of combat. This would deffinatly be a step backwards in the gaming industry.

Making halo 2 for pc would also decrease the number of people buying the xbox 360 because maybe people will believe that halo 3 will come out for pc and so they will wait for it. So the xbox 1 and the xbox 360 won't be unique as it is now.

1. You realize it took almost 2 years after Halo's release for HaloPC to launch? And it was announced no more than about 5 months before, without a specific date? History repeats itself, so get it right.

2. PC version bad? Halo PC became a huge hit on the pc, and they sold quite a few copies. Look at most other ports that use XBL and then go to pc with free multiplayer. They won't lose money. Most people won't suddenly go, "Oh, I'm going to forget about the one year subscription I've still got, and I'm going to play Halo2PC for free! That means I'll still be paying XBL until December! So they'll lose money! And everyone will buy it for pc and the XBox won't sell at all!"... ...

3. I use a microphone right now for Halo PC. Gaming on a pc using a mic came before XBL. Know your gaming history, man.

4. Your last paragraph makes no sense at all. People won't wait for it. Why do you think the XBox started selling in huge amounts when Halo 2 came out? People couldn't wait to see whether it would come out on PC. Same with Halo 1, people bought the XBox without waiting to see. It's just impatience. People will buy XBox360 and Halo 3 for it even if there's a Halo 2 PC. Why would they be threatened by it?

5. Your last sentence screams of someone who is jealous of the pc.

And the guy above him, how do you know it's not coming to pc? Did you talk to someone at Bungie, because I haven't seen any announcements or statements against it.

Sexy legs basically said it all. PC haters just say all that stuff about H2 not coming out for PC. Theres no reasonable doubt as to why it wouldn't. Oh yeah and.. PC is and always will be better than consoles.

I love how you seem to get your point across. Though I disagree (and yes I do play pc games, a lot of them and I do not hate PC games, they are pretty cool) I respect your opinion. I would also like to point out that Halo PC was released after the Xbox copy was released. The Xbox copy did not have the logo "Xbox Only" on it which made it possible to be released on PC. I have played several games for Xbox with the "Xbox Only" logo on them and couldn't even find traces of them a couple years after their console release dates on any PC site. So, my theory, is that because Halo 2 has an "Xbox Only" logo on it, it will only be released for Xbox and that is all. Why they would do this? Perhaps to get more money out of people who don't have Xboxes and make them pay for one just to play Halo 2. Hey, it's a business, and there will always be a catch. By the way, like I was saying, I respect your opinion and all SWAT YOU and I play a lot of PC games. Chill man, not everyone who says that hates the PC games. Halo did sell quite well on Bungie's profit for PC. ;)

dammit people, how many times do I have to say it.... One of three things will happen before halo 2 PC comes out.

#1 - Halo 3 will come out
#2 - Xbox 360 will come out
#3 - 2 years will pass from the release of Halo 2 for Xbox.

Andi stand by that. I'm sick of explaining why, so figure it out yourselves.

Go here and see the XBox version's cover

I would like to point out that the XBox version had 'XBox only' on the box. Why would they do this?! Because...at release it was only for XBox. And as for others, there are numerous games that stated 'XBox Only' that did come out on other platforms.

They prolly put on on xbox just 2 get more ppl 2 buy it. and they arent lying cuz when Halo xbox came out it didnt come out for pc rigth away. so there was that time period where it was xbox only. + Halo PC was never supposed 2 be made. I think they changed their minds. (Like I am hoping they will do with Halo 2) O yea GUESS WHAT PPL, I heard that HALO 2 PC is coming out this year. that is just word of mouth. I sent the guy a email that said it telling him 2 give me a official website that Bungie or a maker of halo (Gearbox, etc.) to send me a link. If i get the link saying the it is official and there is a release date I will post the link here. Hopefully I will know by friday.

Sorry I just had to bump this...

I'd like to say a few words myself...

Reason why it says "Xbox Only" is to help the idiot kids and the idiot parents when buying games and also give microsoft that "Xbox only" marker.

Halo was originally supposed to be a PC game, yep, that's right, if microsoft didn't buy bungie off to make the game almost exclusively for their craptacular fanboy 1 game that makes people buy it system.... but hey, I'll wait patiently because Microsoft had to rip what little I wanted from PC gaming.... also, I don't see how people can play FPSs on the Xbox, without a mouse I'd be braindead.

Joysticks for an FPS absolutely suck. I know muff plays Halo multiplayer on PC pretty well with a controller, but he's an exception. Other people that use one can never get headshots or anything, seeing as how PC games rarely have autoaim, like a console one does.

i know with 90% certainty that it is unless bungie cancels the project. if u think halo 2 wont come out for the pc because of mic issues, then either just have mic support built into halo 2 pc or make mics required. also, people will buy halo 2 pc because it is on the pc, but will also buy the xbox version because consoles are consoles and xbl is xbl: everybody's consoles are the same with standard controllers and all, plus xbl will always be a (albeit potentially) good experience.

i think that there should be a pc version of xbl in that people can pay for a pc live service and get the advanced matchmaking services of xbl while people can also just get the plain old lobby system of pc. but..... a pcl system probably woudnt work because there will always be less people online with a pc than with an xbox. unless bungie would want to make halo 2 xbox and halo 2 pc compatible with each other mb?

Are you kidding? I won't pay for something like XBL. I hate matchmaking. Even if they did come out with it, someone would just make a free service.

about the mic issue any one ever heard of a little thing called teamspeak? it runs at the same time as halo and doesn't slow it down. It takes away having to use the chat in-game and makes it a lot more fun.

Yep, most of us know. However, some have no clue about the tech available to pc's and automatically make assumptions without basis...

Halo was originally supposed to be a PC game.


But Halo2 was designed from the ground up for M$ 's big black machine. So that theory doesnt hold

By the by, if theres anything i hate more than someone who asks the same question (whoever created this thread doesnt apply cause apparently hes new to b.net), its the people who flame and spam the forums. You know who you are...

Uhh, he said Halo which means Halo 1. But then he is kinda right and wrong. Halo was originally WAS on PC, but when Microsoft bought Bungie in a corperate take over, Bungie threw everything on the PC and started from scratch for the Xbox. And then to finish the story, about 2 years later, Microsoft gave the go ahead for Gearbox to port Halo to the PC in a matter of only a couple months and it finally appeared on store shelf.

For Everybody: Everybody who said it took 2 years to develop for the PC are wrong. It took 2 years for Microsoft to decision do they want it on PC or scrap the whole thing.

And yet another good point. I didn't even think of that, but it's true that it takes about 3 months or less to port a game, with a relatively small team. Porting isn't too hard, since the XBox and PC are very similar platforms.
