Fact.

Ive actually never played any of the Halos on PC, Im on this forum because I am interested in doing so in the future.

This thread has kinda put me off a bit. Im not sure its as good as everyone says if there are all thgese problems

I was in the same boat as you. All the hype for CE got me excited to play it, and it just turned out to be a huge letdown. Campaign wasn't as good as I expected either. I guess the order in which you play the games matters a lot.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Of course you wouldn't like the campaign. After all, you hate obviously superior multiplayer compared to its sequels.

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

Halo PC's multiplayer is 5 years old. Of course it's going to be lackluster if you're used to more modern titles. The netcode is lousy, the population is small, and servers are empty, modded to hell or filled with Mexicans and aimbotters.

The true greatness of Halo PC isn't about ad hominem attacks against console users. It's about looking past the limitations of this game and seeing how superior Halo could have been on the PC, if Microsoft had put more effort and time into the PC port. The amount of customization, durability and user control available in Halo PC makes it the best Halo multiplayer experience yet designed, IMO.

I have concluded,that you're quite offended on Why his opinions don't match your expectations.It's like in Mathematics,using a technique to execute a problem variously.Some people don't like the method they were taught,and tried to implement an easy way out of the situations.Your opinions truly reveals YOUR background.Games are a form of escapism and built for a sole purpose of fun.Supposedly,the OP was getting hypes about the game and overestimated the quantity of the game.Your general assumption is that the modern released titles for FPs are sh** compared to Halo 1.I agree,however the Multiplayer is the core experience making what the game feels like alive.

The OP was just merely stating out of his opinions that the game shouldn't have these "problems".You are a true veteran,however you troll on ones who play FPs that you personally suck at and just evidently address Halo's multiplayer or CS,all that PC FPs BS.

However,of course you will find a retort or find a repetitive statement to rely on and cross your fingers,to see if you actually won the controversy.

I am quite informed by the above post. I am more inclined to use a more robust vocabulary from now on.

Not in the least. He doesn't know what makes a good FPS, and I do. Why would that offend me?

My current favorite PC FPS so far is Bad Company 2. That's a recent title. That's right, a PC FPS beat out Halo imo, and it's one that came out not too long ago.

I hate it, therefore I must suck at it? Not the case. I had no problem holding my own in Halo 2. I hate it because the game sucks, not because I suck at it.

Like that would be hard to do. Finding a retort, that is. Won't be crossing my fingers though; Luck and intellect are two very different things. :)

Awesome post RedFlag. Also why would anyone that's been console gaming go back to Halo Combat Evolved anyway? And if so what should you expect. Honestly I was comparing it to the XBOX Halo 2 and I was let down a bit. Some of the same comments about targeting, vehicle motions... But it still suits my purposes, I purchased two copies for my two sons PC's so they could MP local and on the web to begin their FPS experiences. The numbers of maps and game types are phenomenal. I can't seem to bring myself to pull them into the console world yet, too much language and hate and whatnot, not that you can't find some on Halo CE, but at least it's not spoken, and it seems a lot less so far. For the time it came out Halo CE was awesome, it also paved the way for Halo 2 which was by far the most advanced FPS for at least two years running IMHO. Stop comparing.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

It's 7 years old + and I don't understand your comment about Mexicans. Are you trying to be funny, bigoted, what?

If you play on the right servers, Halo pc/ce is fun. Xfire can help you find a server that isn't "MY x LOVES UNLIMITED ROCKETS" or "HALO MODS".

wow, xfire is awesome! thanks!
