Again i have to ask, what's wrong with the PC version? What is everyone talking about? Once again you haven't stated any reasons as to why the PC version is a failure.

I'm not dissing your opinion, i just want to know why you guys say that the PC version was such a failure. I still play it regularly and it is still fun to me.

Yo people,

Oh for god sake people!!! Halo 2 will come to PC, it frigin will!! My signature says it all. Minus sign shut up, you know nothing about the business of Microsoft.

Halo 2 will be out for PC next year, and that is for sure, it will definately be out next year for PC, that is mine and Me15ter's prediction, we both think that it will definately be out for PC, end of story.

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

It would be cool, if they took out the auto-aim and made it compatible with the Xbox 360 controller, as well as mouse and keyboards.

No, it would be cool if everyone stops flaming each other for retarded reasons.

Seriously, Im done with HaloPC. If they did port Halo 2, I wouldn't go for it, considering that XBL is a mess. Not even a vote-kick system.
EA/BF2: 1
M$/H2: -1

To answer the "fatal flaws", they include: No vote-kick system, so TKers can run rampant. Also, there is no built in mic support. Not a terrible thing, but it's hard to tell your gunner that a Banshee is at his six. Speaking of which, there are very few ways to destroy the Banshee, making it the n00b vehicle of choice. The only ways to "destroy" it are to kill the pilot, which can only be done by getting close, which is the opposite of what you want. Thats all I can really think of in terms of "fatal" flaws.

Well? would you? (bungie Please dont lock this thread im not asking for Halo 2 PC but rather finding out how many people would buy it. THerefore, you can use this to your advantage.)

There won't be a Halo 2 for PC, Bungie is moving on. Besides it is so popular so it wouldn't be necessary to make a PC version.



It'll get locked by some arsey mod. You shoulda called it a poll, not a petition. Cos bungie dont like being reminded where they have failed.
Wether Bungie has failed or not is your opinion, I don't think that they regret making Halo 2, and I don't think that they see Halo 2 as a failure. Look how many copies they have sold and look at how many people there are playing it on xboxlive.

Just a guess, but youre from Zanzibar right?

Im on about halo1 for the PC.

And from what you say, you dont like halo. Wouldnt that make me right about it being a failure? Personally, I love halo PC. But its got so many flaws in that its dying much much faster than it should do. Dont beleive me? Look on gaming ladders like clanbase or Klanwars.

I *want* halo2 for PC. I havent ever played halo2, not having an xbox. I dont like consoles, but Id love to play it if it came to PC, even if for campaign.

And I dont remember saying anything about a sword. As for you hating the pistol so much, I can only assume you constantly got owned, and can only manage to play on the xbox due to the autoaim. Nothing to be ashamed of, but dont -blam!- about it.

At least use decent insults. You havent seen me, so you dont know if I have a fatass. You dont know my -blam!- preferance, so cant call me -blam!-.

So next time you want to insult me, get your facts right at least, you retarded little homophobic fanboy. Sod off back to zanzibar before joo g3t pwned some more.


wait, i thought u hated halo 2... thats what i thought u were talking about. my bad. and as for gettin owned by the pistol so much, no. im a monster with that thing, and its just -blam!-.

"I'm actually wondering, what were the flaws for Halo PC? You guys keep saying it had fatal flaws that are making it die, but you haven't told us what they are. So if you could give me a quick run-down of the problems then maybe i'll see where you are coming from. "

Well to name a few:
The pistol is a piece of unrealistic garbage
No AFK kick
The TK kick or ban wich has been missing for 2 years now has apeared on the EU-BUNGIE servers and its again totaly crapy since it perma-bans u and if u screw up and kill 5 or so guys with an unlucky nade u will never get into that server until u change u`r IP or somfin.
No voice chat

Bungie Flaws:
no repair or maintanence of Halo 1 PC
no fix for blue wall
no fix for aimbot scum
no patches that help the players
no Halo 2
NO CARE FOR PC PLAYERS
no pride or backbone

Thank you Mr. B, that was very helpfull. Everything that you have noted is something that i would love to see fixed, the only problem is the unstable thingy. If you could explain that in a little more detail, not sure what it means. Besides that you have made your point.

Ive played Halo PC heaps on single player and never had a crash. Ive also played it alot on a local area network and never noticed a single problem with it.

Microsoft may very well take the opportunity to port Halo 2 to the PC for the money but they wont do it quickly. The will wait until they think that everyone who was going to buy an XBox to play it has done so, this way they dont damage console sales. If all of the good XBox games are available on the PC and your computer can run them, why buy an XBox?

As far as Bungie/Microsoft not releasing patches for the PC version, would it be possible that they just dont know about these issues? By the looks of it, Bungie isnt paying any attention at all to Halo PC and it might be possible that these things have been overlooked.

The only real reason why I want Halo 2 to be ported to the PC is so I can play the single player part of it and continue on with the story line. The only multi-player Halo I would be playing would be over a LAN and for that Halo 1 is just fine. Sadly, unless Halo2 is ported, I will never be able to continue with the storyline.

I would buy HALO 2 PC, especially if it had a NON MODDABLE map system, wherein you had a map making/editing program to make and mod new versions of the maps, renaming them, and then sending them over the net to a host for others to download and play with you... similar to HALO CUSTOM EDITION... I may seem like i'm advertising it to have more people in it, but the truth is, it is a good useable thing to play, closest thing to H2 PC until H2 PC actually comes out.

The only reason I would buy it for PC is if A: They made the single player levels much better, longer, and downright prettier. B: They added more scription (such as a mix between current Halo 2 with nonlinearism, and Half Life 2 with many scripted events that make you say "Freaking Sweet.") C: Drivable Shadow. and D: No video clipping...

but yeah, I would get it for a much better singleplayer (if they did just that)

I would, however, buy it for my mac :)

Heres part of a quote from a mod that i saw a while back:

"Halo 2 for the PC is a wet dream that will never happen"

But honestly, you want halo 2, get an xbox, its isnt that expensive, and before you start acusing me of anything, i love pc games, and i love xbox games, and everything to do with halo is awsome, but bungie just dont have enough time, and i dont think Microsoft wants to risk another company porting it again and end up with all the problems.

wow. i have never read something so insidious. its great to see that you guys are begining to mature about this. i have never seen the maw so unified before(if it can be called that) and before i start with my post let me say that i respect everyones opinion and do not take offense if i hit a nerve. first of all i will say that h2pc may come out. or it may not come out. that remains sole on the decision of microsoft. if it does come out i will gladly buy it since i am a hardcore fan of halo. i was one of the millions november 24th that waited till midnight to halo 2 for the xbox and i have cherished the game. but the pc would make a better host of this awesome game. why? because first person shooters were designed for the pc. the pc is the only console for lack of better words that can succesfully hold a first shooter. the xbox has its powers and it has its flaws. so does the pc. but the pc thrives where the consoles fails because sooner or later youll have to buy a new one to keep up with gaming industry while the pc needs only upgrades and many people know where to get LEGAL bargains for parts. if the h2pc does come out it will of course be modified so they can get sales from the pc comunity and xbox junkies who happen to own a pc. matchmaking and all that xbl crap is only for the xbl for people who dont want you probably shouldnt expect it. we can expect a multiplayer system similar to the halo pc we currently own. but we must be patient. we cant expect microsoft to work on halo 3(who are you kidding bungie?) and work on the h2 port at the same time. We musnt blame bungie for the halo 1 problems for the box and the pc. for the box when microsoft aquired bungie they only gave bungie 5 months to get the game ready. for the pc geaarbox made no attempt to fix the prior errors bungie had made and thus those errors leaked into the online areas. bungie had always been comited to their pc legions prior to them being aquired by microsoft. Now all they can do is follow orders from microsoft no matter what they really want to do. bungie is a slave of microsoft now, so dont blame them for the bull-blam!- (pardon my language) that has gone around halo pc and even into halo 2 xbox. it is NOT their fault. even though it doesnt show they are doing the best to make halo pc and h2x better. for halo a banning sytem has been added you just have to know the comands and know how to activate the console. with this console you can afk kick. set the limit on the autoban and ban people indefinitely if need be.
but the reason why we have been neglected for the most part is because microsoft doesnt care about us. Bungie can only do what they are told. So friends and people of the maw do not point blame at bungie for in the end they are only a pawn of a mutibillionare corparate industry chess game. we should learn to thank bungie for what they have done for us. what little it may be. one day all our demands will be answered. but we must not allow ourselves to be silenced. we must fight for what we believe. and soon that roar will grow so high that will not be able to ignore us. if i fall tonight let it be known that i fall for stating the truth and for using my first admendment rights.

Did you read the post by a community admin? No Halo 2 is going to be made for PC at the moment, nor are there any plans to.

Grim, much as I appreciate a new member who's actually read the forum rules and regs, this IS an online forum. Not everything is going to be/will be by the rules and straightforward.

Anyways, that's where Bungie's shortcoming lies. It's become far too much like M$. And I personally think they're going to make H2PC when enthusiasm for H2Xbx dies.

I swore I would not buy another Gearbox title after the H1 fiasco. What went down has to be one of the lamest things I've ever seen. $50 down the tubes. 'Tis a shame too, I loved the new maps and weapons. No way I would buy H2 for the PC.
