i suspect if there will be a "Halo 3" then yes there will be a PC version.. but if this is the last Halo then i dont think that their will be.. although im not counting on this being the last of bungies halo masterpieces..... microsoft will insist for a Halo 3 when XBoX 2 comes out i believe

so if you want to play by nov 9th.. go get an xbox!!

Should I go get an Xbox this year or wait for Xbox 2 because Mircosoft might have Xbox 2 in 2005 to get a lead of Gamecube and Playstation.

Buy an xbox (not just for Halo 2). Halo 2 PC probably won't come out for at least a year.

Xbox 2 might not be back compatiable so you may not be able to play halo 2. Get an xbox it is so much easier!

Simple, get an Xbox.

Also, I very much doubt there will be Halo2PC for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I believe HaloPC was only released to get PC gamers to notice Halo; and make them addicted to the on-line play!
Secondly, Halo 2 is Xbox Live compatible. So now that they have won over PC gamers (90% of whom will probably now buy an Xbox for Halo 2), what's the point?

"Help Help I'm being repressed! Come and see the Violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh did you see that? you saw him repress me?"

The bungie FAQ <someone make a quote or lazy link> says that at the mo, its only planned for coming out on X-Box! BUY AN X-BOX 4FS!

Halo 2 currently is only coming out for the X Box, if it does come out for PC lets pray they don't let s.hitbox do it like they did Halo: CE. But yeah dude buy an X Box and XBL.. it's a million times better than the crap PC version. You'll be amazed.

I shure hope there won't be Halo 2 for Pc. I understand all those people out there that just don't want to but an Xbox or don't have the money. But I think it was sorta...Wierd playing halo on Pc it just didn't feel right. It has to be in the room of your house that your parents call the cave cuz you never open the blinds and you turn it realyl really cold in thier. And play Halo all day and all night. Drinking monster enery drinks of course.

Microsoft is thinking of not putting backwards compatibility so just get an xbox. even a used one. an xbox is an xbox.

Here's a plan, Buy an XBOX. If you can't afford one then that's just bad on your part, get a job and save up.

I can garente that there will be a pc version of halo2. mainly because halo 1 was very popular on pc and made microsoft lots of money so why wouldt they make a pc version of halo 2. si i say do what ya want but the pc version will be out in like a year and a half.

I think PC/Mac gamers already knew about Halo before it was released for PC. :)

The definitive answer to your question is "we don't know". If you look at the box art for Halo 2 you will notice that is says "Xbox Only" at the top. This does not mean it will not come out on PC (as Halo 1 said the same thing) it just might take awhile. Personally I believe it would be cheaper to get an Xbox than wait for the PC version. Especially if Halo 2 is anywhere near as hardware intensive as Halo 1 was. If it comes out in a year, your current PC might run it. If it comes out in two years you might have to get a new one. Keep in mind that a new Xbox is 150$, a refurbished one is 130$, a used one is 120$, and a new PC is generally anywhere from 500$-2000$ if you need it for games like Halo. Despite all this you decide for yourself, if PC has a lot of other games your concerned about and would buy a new PC for if you had to, go ahead and wait. Its your choice.
