Hey, I'm a long time regular of the Maw forum, for Halo PC addicts like myself, and I must admit I've never really played Halo for Xbox, and I was at my friend's house today, and we were at his friend's house who has Halo for Xbox, and we had the most fun ever, truly. I'd like to believe Halo PC has the same thing, and maybe it's cause' you're not sitting down with the people beside you, but with the lag and everything else Halo PC can get a bit frustrating at times, it was awesome it was my first time playing and I was actually winning each game from my experiences in Halo PC, anyways I'm just mentioning the quality of Halo Xbox from a long-time Halo PC user, though I did wish it had the rocket hog...

P.S there's just one thing, I CAN'T snipe for anything with a controller, though using any other weapon is WAY easier.

Yeah. I've always supported the Xbox Halo...

Someone was arguing with me about it. Said that with Halo PC, it's much better because you can create your own mods, and maps.... And so forth.

Sniping with the controller isn't too tough. With Halo PC, I couldn't snipe because of the intense lag in some games.

oh god, don't even get me started on the lag in Halo PC, it's horrendous, I actually gave up on sniping in Halo PC because of it. Sadly yes, even XBC has less lag then an official online multiplayer game like Halo PC, Gearbox spent 99% of their time on the game, 1% of their time on the netcode, that company is useless. Oh well, when I get my 360, I'm thinking about getting Halo for it, if it'll play.

Also, try the Co-op play, it rocks! Btw, the Sniper Rifle takes alot of skill, but you will get the hang of it.

Gearbox didn't screw up the netcode, Bungie did.

At the last second Bungie forced Gearbox to alter the netcode to support 56k users, because Bungie is retarded. This is why Halo PC is the laggiest crappiest most useless game online I have ever played.

If you ever had a chance to play the pre-Bungie ruined Halo PC beta you'd cry, because it played almost as smooth as a lan.
