I was looking around Halo.bungie.org( HBO ) and saw that you can download maps that people make for halo PC... with halo 3 or w/e ONP is awhile out, i was wondering if Halo PC is worth it?

Please, PM me the answers to these questions if you could--

Can Mac players play against Windows poeple...

Do you have to make any sort of mods to be able to play other people's maps?

is there anyhting else I shoudl know about this game?

PS: i would be getting this for a Mac, Imac G5 flatscreen

Halo PC is worth the money, it is very fun. Mac can play against Windows, I played agianst mac people and I got a windows. TO make mods you need to download Halo Custom Edition, and then to play modded maps you have to download the maps. It's very fun.

what do you think people are going to say? This is a halo pc forum, obviously theyre going to say yes. If you want some varied opinions go to some other non-official gaming forum that has a bunch of games to talk about so you can get some varied answers. Everyone here is going to say buy it.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Um.. since everyone else missed it, I will reply to the Mac part:

There is no custom edition for Macs, so you can't do anything but play regular Halo. You can play it against Mac and PC people though.

I think Counter Strike pwns Halo PC but it is still a great game, which I play often. And I cannot wait for Halo 2 for PC!

yep, the mac and pc versions of halo are fully compatible online. there is a free mac online gaming service called GameRanger, for mac2mac play. (look in my sig for a link.)

if you play regular HPC and not HCE (custom edition) you don't need to download the mods to play on a modded server.

it is a great game, one of the best shooters for the mac. (well, its going to have some competition when COD2 comes out)

a g5 flatscreen! lucky lucky! (i only have a g4 imac, the one with the floaty screen.)

halo is worth it in every way, but of course we're going to say that.

good to see another mac gamer here!

What do you mean when COD2 comes out, it's already out and been out since november of 2005, I believe. it's been out for around 6 months.

I've had the game for months already and it's a great game, single and multiplayer, its going to get better now that the mapping tools are out. There are already dozens if not hundreds of maps out. Maybe even thousands, who knows. You guys should see some of these maps, they're just plain awesome.

of course HaloPC is worth it. while buying that, try saving up for other good PC games, such as Call of Duty 1 and 2, Counterstrike series, and possibly Doom 3, as master kim said.

I think he's talking about the Mac version. I don't think it is out yet.

And you should also save up for Ages of Empires III, Act of War: Direct Action, you know, the good stuff.

i just started playing halo PC but i've had it for years. a few months before halo 2 came out actually, but i had a crappy computer so i couldnt play it, but now that i can play it, it's very fun. even funner than halo for xbox. im gonna beat the game...AGAIN, before i download CE. even then i dunno how many people are playing created maps on CE. such as zanzibar and stuff.
