Hi, I am just now playing through Halo: CE (downloaded from xbox originals) and loves the singleplayer/story. Now I can understand more of Halo 3 :)

Next up for me is Halo 2, and I am not sure what is the best way to get it.

I can get a used Xbox disc and play this in my 360. I suppose it works well.
Or I can get it for windows and have better graphics and achievements (wich I like), but the game was never designed for mouse and keyboard.

I should say that it's the singleplayer campaign I'm most interested in, because for multiplayer I'd just rather play Halo 3.

What platform would you get Halo 2 for and why? Thanks!

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Get the Xbox Halo 2 man, especially if you are interested in the Campaign the most. The only good thing About Halo 2 (PC) are the achievements, if that is your thing. Other than that, I would stay away from the PC Version of Halo 2.

Thanks. I'll go for the xbox version if there is no pc love in this thread. Also, I see in the pc halo forum that some people are having technichal problems with the game. Thats no fun.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

The PC version's good, but I think you should go with the Xbox version. It's better to experience the same way most people did and how Bungie intended it to be played.

There is pc love in here, it is just that Halo 2 (PC) Severs are crashing and are being ran by Hackers nowadays. No fun anymore and I was a regular player on H2V.

Loose talk is noose talk.

PC. Just buy an xbox 360 controller for the game.

Or you can cruise with the less pretty 360 version. Your choice.

On the PC version, everyone i see that plays it says it's dead, and so hard to get a game. So i'm guessing its like HPC with Snipers on Coag or something constantly.

Get the Xbox, play XBL at night.

Wish Halo 3 PC would come out sooner... :(

Halo 2 Beta was better. but was dumbed down too much. :'(
I kinda liked Cheif and Arbiter in Multiplayer :D
