The game is a horrible port. We know it, Bungie knows it, Microsoft knows it.
They did such a bang up job that Hired Gun ceased to exist. Since these guys were an internal M$ team, it goes to show how bad they do PC games. And when it became clear that the game had serious flaws, they just walked away and kept their mouths shut.
For all it's flaws, Halo PC is to this day a much better port job. But to be fair to Hired Gun, I think a lot of the problems that you guys are talking about stem from the awful GFWL interface.
So basically the game fails on so many fronts that it's just a total disaster. I can't think of one area where the game excels. Graphics options, nope. Mouse controls- terrible. Controller aimbot- thanks. Horrible online problems such as cheating, crashes, lag when people enter the game (this didn't happen when the game launched), and the whole thing wrapped in the GFWL interface. Wow. Fail. I want my money back please. + this major flaw.

want to know a better joke.
The game is so horribly coded, that the major flaw, is the text/Unicode that appears on screen, can cause major game lag.
Examples of this flaw
1. The Game Browser, there is so much text, that it lags the game's FPS.
2. Join lag
When a person joins, the text comes up, "* has joined"
this freezes people's games and makes their connection to temporarily become unstable to the host.
3. Unrenderable chars/crashing text.
4. Mass text spamming (identical to the browser).
This game has been the biggest joke in the whole world, to think that any text that's used is a weakness.
wtf a game that can't render text very well, WHAT THE F**K.
