but you can never tell, for the time being it'd be a safe bet to go for it not coming onto PC as Bungie probably won't give any hints till at most 6 months before its PC release, but i dunno, just seems like a realistic choice. Also you'd need a beast of a rig to handle it, you need something special to run halo one to its xbox standerd.

I think that I'll come out too late like Halo 1's PC version. I'm gettin the XBOX version so I dont have to wait forever for its release.

"An Xbox" - "x" has a vowel sound.

Well, I certainly hope that Bungie learns a little bit from the Halo to PC port, and they get it out sooner. By taking so long, they shot themselves in the foot in a way, because it ment that PC Halo had to compete (considering the game was just a little aged by the time it hit PC) with the other high end shooters coming out, like Call of Duty, and it would have had to take on Half-Life 2, if Valve had made its release date (but we all knew that wasn't going to happen).

I don’t think I would buy halo 2 if it came out on the pc, the main reason I got halo pc was for the online play, but halo 2 will be supported by xbox live so I think if it was to be ported the only people who will buy it this time is those who don’t have a xbox

i am going to buy it for the pc, i think bungie will release the pc version of halo 2 not very late after the xbox release, cause some people dont have an xbox or the money for it an extra tv or stuff like that. I HOPE BUNGIE WILL RELEASE IT FOR THE PC(that was a desperate request). cause i aint got the money for a xbox so i will wait for the pc, and i think im not the only who has no other option than wait for the pc version.:(

they must bring it out on pc. Why shouldnt they, halo 2 isnt a huge (graphic) difference between the first if its going to be released on the xbox one, they cant make a big difference then because of the restrictions of the xbox so porting it to the pc shouldnt be a big problem. and as for sales i think halo 2 for pc will be great IF they release it not more then a half year after the xbox version a bit longer can be possible but not more then a year. BUT PLEASE BUNGIE, PLEASE, RELEASE IT ON THE PC. they're a lot of people who dont have the money (i may have repeated this but it is important) for an xbox or for LIVE. so please bungie release it on the pc

Maybe we PC gamers shouldn't be pleading with Bungie, but rather Gearbox. I don't think Bungie wants to... "waste" there time working on a port. More then likely they'd dump it on Gearbox's lap.

Understandably Bungie would first have to give the nod to Gearbox to undertake such a thing. Maybe all these questions will be answered at E3... which is going on (or about to) right now. So, all we can do is wait and find out. If they don't say boo though... well, we can probably assume a similar scenario like Halo 1... or at least that's how I would look at it.

In response to Spart's post: I can't say for sure that they'll release by your posted time (Sep. 3rd? Where did you hear that by the by?), but from what I've seen from the game so far... well, it could very likely happen, and then again maybe it won't (that was a very definite answer wasn't it?).

There are an infinite possibilities that factor into when a game will be released. More often then not companies will initially release a very... optimistic release date then bump back when needed.

Seeing as this game is going to be a console release first, they might just end up taking an extra length of time to fine tune everything (unlike the PC game market where companies have the unique ability to release a bugged game and then patch the living day lights out of it... when they feel like it...)

Nutshell: Who knows, E3 will likely shed some light on the topic though.

I'm not sure what you mean by "playable cov." Is it a silly abbreviation of some sort?

Although, yes, it would be 'wicked awesome' if Halo 2 came out for the PC, like another poster said, it get's Microsoft money. If people want to play Halo 2, they are forced to buy an Xbox or two. So, essentially, the longer Halo 2 for the PC is postponed, the more money Microsoft makes.

but do you know how much an xbox costs, its may allowance for more then three quarters of a year!!! and then id HAVE to buy LIVE cause else it wouldnt make any differences so that waiting will not make huge differences, there is a point in waiting for the PC

I sure hope that you get a PC version, and it's not just because of the Online play and the mouse/keyboard setup.

Frankly, the whole thing with PC is more than just playing the game one some other platform. Think about it. What about the modding communites? What about greater inclusion? A bigger community wouldn't hurt.

There's a reason why the Half life community lasted for so long so well: the flexibility of a PC platform. Counter Strike started as a mod, and I know plenty of people who got Half Life just for that.

That said, see my signature. I'm obviously not taking chances.

As for a release date: I'm going on a two year mission in July/August. This might not make sense to all of you, but this is the limited edition we're talking about here.

And if the release date was two years from now, hell, i'll get it cheap when I come back. I love Halo.

lmao, youre completely right, im going to wait for the pc version everything you said about communties, and longer lasting youre completely right!! e.g. diablo 2 and halflife and some others i dont know, i think its easier online on the pc cause of the moblity, you can talk on msn for a game in five minutes your playing, i think its also easier for clans because of the arrangements, im just guessign, ive never played live(but i do have played on an xbox)

1st, someone that works at gamestop told me but was wrong.
2nd, i've seen the screenshots with the elites but, i wanna know if there will be playable grunts, that would be the BEST!

yes, elites and swords and all things that are good in life
as for halo 2 on pc, i think it will happen but as to when... well i dont think that they (bungie) have even thought about it, obviously doing the hard work on xbox right now (which i pwn :P) so i dont really care about pc, as for community im sure that xbox will be able to handle itself ok speacially with what halo 2 looks like *licks lips*
