I wasn't to thrilled with Halo PC. Nice idea that IMHO didn't translate well to the PC. Makes me wonder why they are wasting their time with Halo Vista. Every time we asked for Halo CE to be made into an XBox Live game they always say things like, "We don't like to rehash old games". Yet again and again they've shown that's exactly what they do.

OMG
Master Chief w/o his Helmet!


Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

It sucks becuase of the tards who wrote the net code.

It does have custom edition though...

  • 06.19.2006 8:14 AM PDT

lol

Custom Edition is good. Though its too late to make a new map which will get out.

I was there when it was released, and I made 1 map. 1map.. it was too damn hard for a 14 year old to do! Hah..

I wish I could go back in time 3 years, as even though I was a massive fan of Halopc/xbox.. I didnt buy Halo2 because I didn't think it was that good. Boy I was wrong.. I bought it last month and I love it.. Im such a newb!

Well, they have to include the poor sods on the PC. besides Half Life 2, they don't get many good shooters. (They think Counter Strike is good.)

I enjoy the X-Box version more, though the PC had its perks -- halo custom, flamethrower, new maps, banshees, online play, etc.

  • 06.20.2006 9:52 AM PDT

Halo 2-New Maps, Banshees, better Online play, better guns.
i don't know why people bother with halo PC.

Halo PC is complete garbage, and I'll tell you why: Fuel Rod Gun. Seriously, it basically shoots really long range frag grenades that blow up instantly. If you didn't start with a pistol, it'd be more overpowered than the sword.

I like PC better. The netcode sucks yes but you can play it online and with CE everyone has mods. Plus online is free. Unlike XBC with all the lag and cheating but then again you get what you pay for.

Halo PC had new maps. Halo PC had the Banshee. As for better weapons, that's a matter of opinion. I'm sure since we are in the Halo CE forum, many would agree with me that Halo CE had better weapons. I loved the pistol, but who didn't...;o) Other aspects of Halo CE weapons just worked better. The shotgun WORKED. The rocket didn't have this massive auto aim so when someone would jump it would pull your aim. The sniper took a little more skill because of less auto aim and smaller hit boxes. The assualt rifle was much better than the SMG. The plasma weapons had freeze effects. The grenades had better physics.

Even the vehicles were better. I ran someone over the other day in Halo 2 TWICE at full speed and all I did was hurt his shields a little. In Halo CE if you run someone over, by god they die!!! I also miss being able to flip the hog with a nade.

I've got Halo PC and I've found the seige or mardiginal and there is the megg in Halo PC. I believe they are about the same, except in Xbox, you can see more of your gun, while u can't with HPC, or at least with my moniter.

You should've put in a "both are good" option.

HALO PC FTW!!! Dudes are you forgetting this? Can a Xbox open a program called Firefox or Internet Explorer? Can a Xbox open a program called Xfire? ( I dont like XFire but im puttign it in anyways.) Can a xbox do things like open a file? Xboxes cant do that, PC has alot of good games, not to insult the world of Xboxers but Halo PC is better, weapons, gameplay, story, vehicles, maps etc. but still PC is better and plz dont brag about us getting new maps and you not, Xboxers had it first and we waited paitently for Halo PC and we are waiting alooooooooong time for Halo 2 Vista which is gonna rock. Halo PC is great i know they messed up the net code but it still is a really good game most people get used to it and just play there is over 4,000 people online does your Xbox version of halo have that? Maybe not. Mouse and Keyboards * So much more accurate thats why we dont need auto aim, can talk in text, no viberation but mouse and keybaords own. Once on a mod for Halo PC i got over 300 kills and less than 200 deaths..... Now if the Maw people come they will express this over how Halo PC is better than halo xbox.

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

I would like to post one thing relating to both PC and XBOX versions of Halo:

Originally Halo was going to be on the Mac. Without MS it would have almost assuredly never been on the XBOX, but it probably would have been ported to PCs.

Point: we should feel lucky that we got Halo on the XBOX.

LOL! I don't want a platform war, but even my PC outperforms the Xbox, yes, the netcode is bad, but go on a bungie server and I get a good ping. We have CE, so we can download and create custom maps, and can you re-skin your Master Chief to look like Mister Chief? I think not.

Well Xbox version of Halo is better than the PC version.

Le't say like this= Halo Xbox is Perfect 10 points! Halo pc 8Points.
Halo xbox absolutely.

But i say too Halo Pc version Rocks with the Online Gaming!

I like them both, but Xbox takes the cake by a little. HPC is really underrated. It's much better than you think. Get a good enough computer and graphics card, and it's near Xbox material. Not to mention The Fuel rod gun and flamethrower added to Multiplayer, as well as 6 new multiplayer maps! But, the Xbox is faster, less laggy, and looks better, in my opinion. Some effects on the Xbox, the PC could never hope to achieve. The assault rifle, for instance. On the Xbox it's shiny metal, it looks like silver, but on the PC, it's just plain, boring grey. The speed, response and look of Halo Xbox is what won me over.

WHAT THE FUDGE!
Near xbox material? Pffff. PC is better in almost every single way. We can get higher resolutions (every played halo at 1600x1200?). Xbox is stuck at tv res (640x480 i think). If you have a good Graphics card, and processor, Halo pc is much faster. Xbox is less laggy because its on the same system. If you have 4 ppl fighting each other on the xbox the framerate plumits. You can get the shinny ness on a PC (specular lighting). Don't forget halo is made for the xbox. But the PC version brought new maps and the FRG and flamethrower. People who don't like the FRG just don't know how to defend against it. The only thing halo xbox has going for it is its cheap. ~130 for xbox ~20 for halo. and it can have 4 ppl play each other on one console.
