O...K? why on earth would you guys think halo 2 would come out on pc? for one thing if they were it would of come out ages ago what halo 2 came out what a year ago ?one of the reasons halo combat evolved came out for pc was that they didn't put the only for xbox tag at the top and it didn't come out for pc and xbox at the same time i mean have you ever seen a game come out for another gaming system when it has "only for ???" at the top halo 2 coming out for pc has as good as a chance as mario coming to xbox oh yeah if you can name one game that has come out for another system when already had "only for" at the top like halo 2 has let me know and i will be suprised go check your halo 2 box right now and you will see it says only for xbox at the top THAT MEANS only for xbox, one other thing i dont even think some people that say they had halo 2 on xbox live have had it i think its just ps2 lovers wanting it to come to pc because everyones got a pc who doesn't?
halo pc came out a full 2 years after halo xbox

this stuff would be nice... but dont count on it. as for the ending... dont expect a different ending in h2pc... it wouldnt be the same game if it had a different ending. besides, for a different ending, they would have to program new animations, rehire the voice actors, etc. way too much effort just for a port.What makes you think they haven't already finished the ending? I'm not saying if a Halo 2 port to the PC were to be made it would be included in it. But I would at least expect something extra in the PC version. After all, wasn't Halo PC basically Halo 1.5 to the Halo console version?
the only addition to it was new maps and a couple new weapons, both of which were going to be in halo xbox, but didnt make the deadline. everything else was the same or worse.
What makes you think they haven't already finished the ending?
they did finish the "ending"
if halo 3 was intended to continue after halo 2, and there were two different endings, which would they continue from?
lets look at some plot elements. the reason halo 2 has a bad ending is it doesnt resolve.
they have introduction, escalation, climax, and then... it stops.
if they resolved halo 2 for pc then it would have introduction, escalation, climax, and resolution. anything after that would have to repeat the cycle.
that means: if they continued halo 3 after halo 2 xbox, then it would start right in the middle of climax, then the end of the game would resolve. it would not then make sense after halo 2 pc, because the plot would follow: introduction, escalation, climax, resolution, climax, resolution.
if they continued after halo 2 pc, it would have to start a new plotline.
it would not make sense then after halo 2 xbox, because the plot would follow: introduction, escalation, climax, introduction, escalation, climax, resolution. again it makes no sense.
enough of plotlines. basically if they made a new ending in halo 2 pc, then they would have 2 separate plotlines to create, thus creating double the workload to make halo 3, thus doubling the cost of making the game, etc.
bad. idea.
