It may not be that popular, but trust me, it's truely fun, and most of the players are really cool. So do get it! Plus in 07 Halo 2 comes to PC, and now to make the regular Halo even better, we have Halo CE! So do get it, and come enjoy the fun!

Hold up there...you're getting a computer that can run games?

It'd prolly be a good idea to run the specs of the computer by us through posting it, we can usually give sound advice as to if you should be getting that computer or if you're getting conned out by the salesman.

But a few things: I'm not sure if buying a computer now is such a great idea. Windows Vista is set to come out within a year now, meaning that your brand-new computer will be completely obsolete and outdated. I would suggest perhaps waiting for Vista to come out, then buying a computer at that time.

Now, the plusses of this strategy are as such: you can be sure that Aero Glass (a visual feature of Vista) will work on the computer. Don't trust those cheesy "Vista Ready" stickers on the computers nowadays, that guarantees only the home basic version, which means that a lot of the "cool" or useful features will be locked down and unusable. Second thing, if you buy a computer later, you can be sure that the graphics card is decent (since the OS requires a decent GPU to run) enough to handle most modern games, AND will be DX10 enabled. DX10 is new tech needed to run games at thier full value. Not that I recommend it, but you could buy a computer without bothering to look at the GPU and be assured that it can run quite a few popular games nowadays, assuming you see it running Aero.

Hm, if you get a new computer now, make sure it has a 64-bit processor (FX-60 anyone? hehe) and a bunch of ram (maybe 2+GB) so you can install Vista later. However, I'd go with me15ter's idea and wait.

Hey dudezors. Do you think my tower can handle H2PC? (I have a GeForce 6600 AGP, with an Intel Pentium 4 Processor with 3.20 GHz.)

Ooh...er...well, I hope you checked the specs out before purchasing it, since you might not have enough to run Vista, meaning the next gen of games that comes out will be off-limits to you. Including Halo 2 for PC. :/

Wish you luck...
