Subject: PC vs. Console which is better for playing Halo 2?

Halo 2 for Life!

Wow you do have quite the collect, pretty cool (if only it was the console version though lol).

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?

Well I think my own experince playing H2 matters most but it helps when the game is rated highly.
You're biased.
The scale on the bias meter is totallymassive...

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

Console is definitely better, in my opinion. Halo 2 is great either way, though.

Halo 2 for Life!

?

Different view points sometimes clash. Arguments somtimes are weak which I pointed out earlier yours was. Arguments are somtimes strong which I think I showed with the 9.5 rating for H2 console and the 7.5 or something like that for H2 PC. Just because you have trouble argueing your point and I dont doesn't mean I'm a troll! I will end our argument and not respond to your negitivity again.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

It varies between people on which is better. I personally liked playing Halo 2 on the xbox but now Halo 2 vista has grown on me. Only wish you could play co-op campaign on the pc version.

Fine, I'll play ball.

Halo 2 PC contains absolutely NO NEW FEATURES. The only good thing about it is dedicated servers and better graphics,which is absolutely %100 indisputable. PCs have better hardware capabilities than the original Xbox. Way better.

Critics don't like this because they're basically re-releasing it. They're selling the same exact game again and it comes off to some as they are trying to make a quick buck when there aren't added features.

Also, Halo 2 Xbox had a much better online experience, so yeah, in that way it's better. But I thought this thread was focusing on the GFX?

Halo 2 for Life!

It's about any aspect of playing halo2 on the PC or Console. I just started out the conversation with the first thing I noticed but I know that their are quite a few more.

I'm sure PC has advantages over console in terms of playing H2 but I choose not to find them.... lol as I dont play PC I know very little, I guess this is one way to get information about it, although I hear from some it's really good and some that it's really bad... that is one reason I created the thread to try and resolve this.

Maybe one of the advantages was H2 PC had forge or something I'm not sure I've never used it though (it might have been an annoying feature).

I personally think H2 was changed and any changes to a perfect game will ruin the game! because it will cause an imbalance else where.

I still think H3 has more similarities to H2 PC than H2 console.

It was literally a direct port. They didn't change any of the maps, physics, guns, anything. All that was changed were textures, maybe some lighting, and multiplayer. No actual content was edited at all. You just said that you didn't know much about the PC version and that you "choose not to find them". So how can you critique something you know NOTHING about?

Hello, My name is tottalymassive. I'm an Xbox fanboy. And any time my godlike game Halo 2 is changed just a little bit, I will declare it to be officaly RUINED FOREVER!

lol, Jacob = win. :D

I liked Halo 2 Xbox, because it used to have a modding community, and I was able to recreate online co-op for H2X. :D

As for H2V I did things without modding the maps. :)

Am I really seeing 2 of the long time Halo 2 forum-goers getting in a pissing contest?

Seriously guys, chill out.

Anyone that is left in this forum is a "forum-goer" to me! H2 for life!

I'm a little rude about PC version only because I know how good the console version is and I've heard from long time console users that have played the PC (people that I respect the opinion of) say the PC version isn't up to par with the H2 console version. I dont know a ton about the details but that is what I know. About fighting and pissing... I dont think arguments are bad, I actually think they are good as long as we dont cross the line and call each other names every second sentance it will ok probably lol.

Once again, the content is exactly the same. It's a port. Not a remake.

  • 12.02.2010 9:06 PM PDT

Halo 2 for Life!

Excuse me well I kiss the sky and not talk to you. lol.

It's not an exact port... Also it's a different experince, and different gaming formate (mouse and keyboard is the intended set up). It was made slightly different to suit and intice PC gamers to try out Halo vs counter strike. I dont buy it's a direct port....

I see some of your points but I disagree with most of them. I can see how you might have been guided to seeing things a certain way, and that is ok, I'm sure I have been to a certain degree as well (maybe by my enjoyment of H2 on the console).

The silencer was supposed to be in H2X, it's only back in H2V because of some HiredGoon.

So you're saying that I didn't enjoy the console version? I loved it, more than the PC version for sure, but that version of Halo 2 does not exist anymore. The graphics are dated, no online, H2V fixes this.

I've heard that as well. Is it because of the server?

My PC is cool, not only do I own H2V, but I own all of Valve games because they support mods. :D
Makes Xbox1 and 360 a piece of trash, and shows how much of a cashcow the Halo IP really is. :D
