Okay, i was just reading the faqs for the fun of it when i saw that it said that halo 2 would only be for xbox for the present time, does this mean that halo would be out for computer too? I hope so. I don't want those filthy ps2ers all over my master chief.

The PS2 does not have the grunt (no pun intended, i assure you) to run Halo. I also believe that Halo has a fairly lengthly consoel-exclusivity deal with MS. The GC could perhaps run it, at a stretch... but abysmal frame-rates would be evident. I hope that Halo 2 is eventually ported to the PC, as with Halo before it, but on the sole condition that the conversion is not handled by Gearbox again. Their PC port was frankly awful.

I hear you there. And because of there poor job the Mac version suffered a far worse fate than it should have. I say new company doing both PC and Mac versions together. That way there is better compatibility between the two.

Halo and Halo 2 should only be played on that wonderful console we call XBOX. And also on PC. But it should never fall into the hands of PS2. Sure we got GTA III and Vice City, but we deserve it because the XBOX is the best, handsdown.

Quite. People seem to respect Gearbox for the sublime HL: Opposing Force... but given that Gearbox perpetrated Nightfire PC (the second most recent 007 game) and now the poorly recieved (and poorly done) Halo port, I warrant that things will... haha... grind to a stop for Gearbox.

What is it that you guys hate so much about PS2?
Sure, I wouldn't want Bungie to release Halo on PS2, but only because that would slow down the release of their next game on xbox, not because having a PS2 is a crime or anything...

I believe the answer is, as you suspect, fanboyism. I personally have a dislike for Sony as a whole, especially the PS2: i brought a launch-date console, and it has suffered many, many problems: even so, I still play it occasionaly, and eagerly await Snake Eater and FFXII

Halo PS2 will never, EVER, happen - can you imagine Microsoft giving up that particular IP!

"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." Gandhi

Plus, the PS2 can't handle Halo, so how could it even begin to handle Halo 2?
