Well, I am a fan of both CE and X-Box, they all have advantages and disadvantages

I've had Halo for Xbox for a while now. I've beaten it on every setting and have a LAN party every weekend. But, recently my friend bought Doom 3 for PC, and since he knew that it would take up all of his PC-related time, he gave Halo PC to me. Now, I play Halo PC on a regular basis and have concluded the following statements:
1. Halo PC's graphics are not nearly up to Xbox standards. Not bad enough to affect how I view the quality of the game, but noticably different. ((with the exception of shield effects. These ARE horrible on PC.))
Not for everyone, if you get a good graphics card, (as most high-in PC gamers do) then the graphics are basically the same for PC, just allowing you to play on higher resolutions than x-box.
2. Halo PC's multiplayer rocks. Using Banshees in multiplayer is a BIG deal to me, as it's my favorite vehicle. Turrets is a nice addition as well.
One of the advantages to PC and CE, new stuff.
3. Halo Xbox's controler beats the keyboard anyday. All of the Xbox's buttons are immediatly at your disposal, while you have to move your hands off certain buttons ((namely Tab and d for the PC)) to do important tasks like entering Vehicles, reloading, ETC.
A lot of people find it easier to aim with the mouse. But this is all opinion....
4. Lag SUCKS! My computer lags so bad I often find myself being booted from Halo's online games for this problem.
Maybe your the one who is lagging, if your getting booted. I actually haven't encountered too much lag. Yes, now and then I get some, but it is not that big of a deal.
5. Mods for Halo PC are easier to get and legal-er to use. ((so legal-er's not a word. Use the legal system and sue me then.))
Yeah, and you should try CE if you don't have it yet
6. Halo Xbox has better sound. I found that during firefights in Halo PC some of the sounds of the weapons will dissapear, replaced with dull "thump" sounds. Now I know that sound isn't everything, but I enjoy grunt screams in the full.
Ummmm, the sound is the same in both.....
Personally, I'd have to go with Xbox, becuase I'm a sucker for good graphics and it is the origional.
I recommend a better graphics card.
