Subject: Halo PC worth $45 just for Online MP?

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein
"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." Gandhi

I'm sure this has been asked hundreds of times, but is buying Halo PC worth it just for online play? I have the Xbox version, so I wouldn't touch campaign mode, and I play MP regularly at LAN parties.

So, are the new features, and online play worth a purchase? Or should I just wait for Halo 2 on Xbox LIVE?

I think Halo PC MP is great. I love it. I don't really play the campian either, since I beat it on legendary. The downside is that there is occational terrible lag. Which distrupts the play. You also have to lead your target...a few steps in front of MC when he is moving, unlike xbox. Having a good internet connection helps, but you still face this problem. The biggest advantage is that there is always 2500+ players (some are very good, others are annouying) to play with at any moment - 24/7. Also more levels, weapons and vehicles options. Would I pay $45? No. Did I pay $45? No. Just buy it on ebay for $25 - 30. I seen it for 20, including shipping. If your still not sure, go to microsoft and download the trial version. You can play MP, but only blood gluch with standard options. But you get the idea of the game play there.
I hope this helps.

See, the thing thats nice about it is that you can play MP whenever you want. You dont need 3 other friends over to have a xbox game, and it doesnt lag when you have 16 peeps playing. I was lucky, cause when Halo pc had been out for about a month, Futureshop (im in canada, i think its best buy in the states) had a screamin deal with only 25 copies avilible for $15 each!!!!!!!!! I said to my mom, I NEED THIS GAME, and she drove down there at 10 olclock in the morning an grabbed. afterwards, i bragged endlessly about it to all my friends who were to cheap to pay the 60 for it.
