The thing is, I bought a used copy off of Amazon but the key code was a keygen :-( I bought a new copy, so I should be good there, but I don't own a PC. Can I install and play online for Halo PC on Mac's bootcamp? Does anyone have first hand experience?

WAT is this i dont even

If your running windows in bootcamp yes.
but it will probably not run well because macs have terribly outdated hardware usually

You can pull your pants up now I am finished.

where did you buy your new copy from? I saw walmart and best buy sell em but they ship them, you got yours in store or did you get online?

I believe from what i saw on search on google is that you have to have the special edition made to work on mac to play halo on a mac, otherwise you are in the hole for what you paid for it.

Please if you would respond to my question at the top, thanks.

bootcamp is a way of running windows on a mac. Seeing as a mac is just a pc with a mac os. you can run windows just like any other pc. So as long as he is running windows in bootcamp its just a normal windows pc

I bought a copy off of Amazon. The seller was another website, Buy.com. However, there was a message saying there is a limited amount left, so if you're gonna buy a copy, I'd act fast.

Do you need anything additional to run Bootcamp on your Mac? I actually have never tried it because I've never need it until now.

Well you need to install Windows, so you'll need the software for that.

Just make sure you print the instructions before you start. It will save you a lot of trouble.

Halo Reach PC über alles!

Why not just buy crossover games? It is a lot cheaper (than buying windows), and you can run Halo PC through the Mac OS.

Stupid Ass Question: Will Halo 2 work like this as well?

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.
