I like the Xbox its graphics are very little bit better and it does not lag that much compared to the PC in multiplayer and campaign.

No, the graphics on the PC are far superior to those on the Xbox despite a few flaws. Secondly, the 'lag' is just a case of the framerate dropping too low on your machine.

Sounds like you're basing your opinions on the fact that you don't have a machine good enough to handle the game.

The AR has a slight graphical problem on the PC (although it can be fixed) but nothing that makes any real difference.

For a quick glimpse at the graphics the PC version is capable of, take a look at a few custom maps. This one is probably a good start.

I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

For campaign, I definitely prefer Halo CE for Xbox. But for Multiplayer, I prefer Halo PC. It's a lot simpler to use compared to Xbox Connect, and Halo Custom Edition is amazing.

But the campaign is exactly the same bar the fact that it looks better on the PC.

The truth is that the PC version of Halo has a much better graphics than the Xbox, but, when Gearbox ported the game, they messed up a small number of the shaders. One of the shaders was the Assault Rifle. You're actually correct. I found a fix for it a while back, but, I can't remember where I downloaded it. I'd upload my bitmaps map file for you, but, I have a VERY restricted download limit.

Edit: Never mind. I found it. Here it is

I prefer Halo PC completely. There is absolutely nothing about the Xbox version that is better than the PC version for me. The only thing that ever was is the thing I talked about before, which, as you can see, I found a fix for. Gearbox did what most people think is impossible and I respect them for it.

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.

But yeah, the graphics are far better on the PC. Dunno what OP is smokin'.
