No ranking system & the 2.2 mbs connection should give you good pings

sounds like you have a good connection and high badwidth so lag should not be too much of a problem for you.

good thing about Halo PC:
free online gaming
better graphics then xbox by far
better controlls obviously
more maps for multiplayer
more vehicles for multiplayer(banshee,rocket-hog...)
more weapons for multiplayer(flamethrower,fuelrod gun from the covy hunters)


bad things about Halo PC:
laggy
needs a great PC to run it at high resolutions with all the stuff turned up yet it don`t look all that good like Half Life 2 wich runs like a dream on a mid to low PC
horrific netcode

Can't he download the demo and use the cd-key that comes with it to play CE? I heard of a few people doing this, but I've never tried it....

I won't lie - unless you are very proficient with a 3D program, and a few other select ones, no making a map is hard - but modding can be easy if you're okay with photoshop and a few programs.

There is no actual user-friendly map making tool. However, HMT and such, hex editors, can be fun for modding weapons and skins.

Trust me, evne if you don't mod, you'll enjoy Halo PC. It's much more freedom-oriented than XBL and matchmaking.

I also don't have Halo for the PC but I would like to ask a question.

A mate on live mentioned that in the PC version you can fly the Pelican, drive the ATV and use most of the Halo 2 weapons. Is this true or is he talking out of his -blam- ?

In response to your question about the Pelican, yes. Although i dont have Halo PC and seriously consider getting it, http://www.sponsorsvsfreeloaders.com make their movies with H PC and episode 2 has a great part with a pelican in. That was probably what made me start to consider this. I have Vice City for PC but dont play it much now (game gets corrupted every gig of mods or so lol). Anyone who has Vice City for PC will know it is modding paradise (although i suck at the making i like using them). Does H PC use a .txt file for in game physic and power stats?

Halo PC=Halo Combat Evolved and Halo CE=Halo Custom Edition on the PC forums.
And Halo Custom Edition is downloadable and requires Halo Combat Evolved but Custom Edition is a FREE DOWNLOAD...get it from www.Haloimpulse.com

And yes it`s true that u can fly the Pelican and even pilot a mech in Halo Custom Edition.
Halo 2 weapons and all sort of stuff...

Thank you to all that replied to my question. The reason that I believed that it wasn't true was because if such things were capable in Halo CE then why couldn't any of this be placed in the sequel. In reading your answers I guess I forgot the fact that PC's are a whole different playing field with infinite possibilities compared to a console.

Once again, thanks
