Please drop price of ODST or at least put maps on marketplace Bungie! :(

I don't know what the hell OP is talking about.

PC has sharper graphics, so yeah, it's better. There's really nothing to debate here.

Your argument really isn't making any sense.

Check the video proof, nothing further can be said (about your lack of an argument and your critique of my argument).

One is brighter and sharper while one is darker and blurrier.

Not sure how any of this pertains to your argument.

"PC has sharper graphics, so yeah, it's better"

That's an argument?

Your critique of mine was

"What the hell is OP talking about" (or something like this)

Your supposed argument is flawed, it was the recording device that made the sharpness change for you (if it even exists) but I detect no difference in sharpness.

Brighter and darker = shades of color (change the computer settings to be brighter lol). Looks bleached and fake to me on the PC...

Sharper? .... H2 console = smooth texturing, H2 PC sharp angles, maybe. I rather have realistic texturing of the environment and players armor. I dont think the difference is based on blurriness as I dont see blurriness.

Did I just rant about nothing (colors, sharpness, superficial dumb things that dont matter to gameplay, where the main differences between console and PC are... Yes I did.... lol).

lol

PC has better graphics hands down. You can't only have two videos to compare the difference. PC graphic quality is based upon how good your graphics card is and how fast your processor runs.
I have a decent laptop. I play Halo 2 on it with full settings and it looks much better than the copy of Halo 2 I have for my Xbox. Same goes for Halo: CE.

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

Uhhh, the PC port. It's smoother.

Also, the only difference I saw between the vids you posted was the PC port was brighter.

BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Someone chose to compare the console against crappy videos on H2V, wow.
Best comparison ever. not.

Take a look at mine.

I ran my game on 16x anisotropic filtering, 4x anti-aliasing, high mip-map. :D

Maybe I should take images?

You can't argue with how amazing those cutscenes look. H2 PC blows H2X out of the water graphically.

That being said, I'd rather sit on my couch with my big TV screen and play it.

If you hook your PC up to your TV via HDMI, and use a wireless 360 troller, you CAN play it like h2x.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Console.
You could play with your buddies.

Halo 2 for Life!

Did anyone else see the that the sniper is bigger in the PC version. Plus more hands and arms are bigger in PC. Plus the rectangle infront of the sniper scope is way bigger. They are actually similar in size to a H3 sniper....


Sorta funny, that is when Micro took over and ruined the franchise! lol. Actually it might have been.

That's because the resolution is different. Stop drinking the Kool Aid and wake up.

Halo 2 for PC IS BETTER than Halo 2 for crappy box

Didn't you just prove your self wrong? The PC ones look better, and they aren't even the same scene!

PC has anti aliaising, xbox version doesn't. I have played both and I can see all those jaggies on the xbox version.

And the reason the xbox screenshot looks better then it really does is that the XDK lets them direct capture screenshots or videos for trailers and -blam!-.

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

Xbox has split screen which is nice for LAN parties.

Halo 2 at 60 frames per second just feels wrong, and the aim assist with the controller is way over the top. It's so over the top that I feel bad for the PC gamers I destroy.

  • 12.01.2010 4:06 PM PDT

PC all the way

  • 12.01.2010 5:22 PM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

PC = 7 from the link above
Console = 9.5

So which is better... console! lol.

So, that means graphics doesn't matter and rating does.

  • 12.01.2010 6:19 PM PDT

Well I think my own experince playing H2 matters most but it helps when the game is rated highly.

Console H2>>> Halo Pc!

Halo PC is to clunky, also the geometry and shapes in the game are in correct and are not the same as H2 to me. They really had it spot on in H2 console beyond a shadow of a dought.
