Okay so halo has been a big part of my life. It got me into gaming when I was seven (ha get it!?) and ten years later I'm still a giant fan.

I recently lost my copy of halo 2 (NOOOO!!) and I'm wondering whether I should get my new version for the xbox again, or go for the pc version.
I'm kinda of aiming for the pc version, since it's apparently better game play wise and I could play it abroad.
But I'm more used to playing halo games with a controller and I assume a game is better when you play it for the console it was made for.
I realise that this forum may be biased, but I couldn't decide which forum I should use.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

You could always use an Xbox 360 controller to play Halo 2 PC.

That's true...

If you're going for the original xbox experience and plan on using a controller, AND if your specs are up to par, then there's no reason why you shouldn't pick up the PC version, since it's Halo 2 xbox minus co op but with higher resolution.

Don't expect anything special from the online play though, and hope that the game actually decides to work for you, as it hasn't for some...

Halo 2 PC only works for vista and 7

If you wanna play Halo 2 online for the Xbox, download a program call "Xbox Connect."

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Using Xbox Connect you need to make sure the xbox has a wired connect to a PC (PC can be connected wireless to modem) or wired up directly to the modem, xbox connected wireless to a PC/Modem won't work.

Halo 2 is the bomb! I think it is the best Halo there is. I own Halo 2 limited edition, Halo 2 multiplayer map pack and Halo 2 vista. Oh and to those H2V haters out there H2V kicks butt!

Halo 2 forever!!!

The art of war is simply that, war, war is not art, to be art something has to be beautiful and nice, war, war is cold, hard, brutal, painful, killing, is that art? No that's anything but, so why do we have war if we hate it so much? Do we have it to keep us busy, their is no such thing as world peace because in order to have world peace, we need to make peace with each other but do you see people on the streets? That's not peaceful so war is never going to live up to the standards of art.

get pc the xbox one is shutting down

Or connect the xbox and computer to a router and connect the router to the modem. You know, like a normal setup.
