There should DEFINATELY be a co-op mode for pc where you can play the single player game with someone from the internet..... that would be SWEET!

The few, the proud, the leet.

With the current code, ai data doesn't sync with clients. Co-op is very possible if you dont mind splitting a PC screen in half, but playing it across 2 computers is impossible without an overhaul to the way the Blam engine keeps up with positions.

I wouldn't mind split-screen. I mean, that's what they did with Serious Sam, and it worked out fine. Linking computers would still be nicer but it's not like they did that with the Xbox.

Honestly though, everybody already has it for Xbox. There's no real need to upgrade unless it has "special features." Not just new maps or better graphics...

Oh really, thats a really big overstatement there. There is quite a large number who don't have it on xbox neither played it.

there are many many of us who don't. and many many people who would rather play it on pc than xbox.

and i'd like co-op. i like teaming up with my friends over lan... without bots that's not really an option unless you get like 4+ people together.

I dont really know about the co-op mode, cause you'd have to get another keyboard...I'd rather play online vs. user-made ai and real people anyway...

The coop we are talking about is over the internet. Just like playing a multiplayer game, but instead of playing the normal multiplayer maps, you play the campaign against the AI.

Although, Lucifuge777, there are many people who own and play Halo 2, there are also many who don't.

But that's not my point. Most hardcore PC gamers who didn't care for Halo 2 since it was on the Xbox will maybe look at Halo 2 when they play it on their computers. Improved visuals and higher resolution imagery will be reason enough for people to buy it, and you'll use a keyboard and mouse which will eliminate the need of auto-aim and so it will actually require skill to shoot with the sniper rifle.

Plus, like the port for the first Halo, they will probably add more weapons in multiplayer and some PC exclusive maps and gametypes, with an enhanced matchmaking system.

thats a good point. but as i was saying, im not going to spend a grand upgrading to windows vista just to play halo 2 for pc. ill get vista "eventually," my xp works fine for now, and ill pick up halo 2. im looking forward to the matchmaking though.
