Subject: halo xbox vs halo pc

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.

The only thing I think you forgot was that you can have 16 LAN parties, but otherwise i agree with your post. Go PC!

I dont want to start a console war either, but lately you xboxers have been throwin insults at us. First its "why should i upgrade to a Vista computer to get a game thats not nrealy as good as the one thats in my xbox right now?" Then it was "Its not fair that halo2PC will get extra maps! We deserve better!" and now this. Ive just about had enough of it and heres an idea: LEAVE EACH OTHER THE -BLAM- ALONE

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?


Me thinks you are confused. This isn't about if the PC in general is better than the XBox, it's about if the XBox version of Halo CE is better than the PC version. And yes, the XBox can open files. It is in fact a computer:o) Has a pentium 866 if I remember right. Graphics card, memory...the whole nine yards


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.


What are you going on about? The PC version of Halo CE had the exact same story!


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.

Did you follow Halo PC when they were making it? They said several things had to be changed to accomidate the PC. One thing that springs to mind is the flashlight. They had to retool it because the PC's of the time couldn't handle it. If you look, it's not the same or casts the same light. It may run faster, but the most uberest graphics card in the world won't make up for the retooling that was done to bring it to the PC....that's hardcoded.

The things in my signature say enough.

Halo Custom Edition > Halo Xbox

Halo was meant for the PC.

I'm going to quote the relevant parts of a post that StlFan said in the Maw recently:

Posted by: StlFan
I don't know why anyone would whine over a few maps, why can't we all just like what we want and leave everyone else and their opinion alone? I play my Xbox and my Xbox 360 but I am VERY interested in the H2 Vista game. I am considering upgrading or buying a new PC (because I need one anyway) to play it. One thing the PC will have if I recall is a map editor, The Xbox doesn't have that, unless they give it to the 360 with H3. All the games are good in their own way, so to my fellow Xboxers....Be happy you had H2 this long, look how long these diehard PC fans had to wait....now you want to complain?


While StlFan's post is talking about Halo 2 Xbox vs. Halo 2 Vista, the concept of his post is the same as Halo 1 Xbox vs. Halo 1 Mac/PC.

Nobody wants a forum/platform war.

Reinforcements from Fire_Bullet:

1. First of all, if you have a good framerate that doesn't dip below 30 and 60 or higher is better, and have DSL, there will be absoutuly but no warping, it will seem even smoother than the Halo xbox version even with the netcode. With a ping in the 60's all you have to do is lead a small amount and you'll hit them, the netcode isn't that bad. Remember DSL has become the norm in todays modern world, no one warps anymore in any game unless years ago when most people had 56k.

2. Even with a full 16 people, modded game with rocket starts, dozens of tanks, and those bashsees and more, theres no warping even with the massive battles and dozens of frages nades and tank shells exploxing everywhere, theres no warping, it just depends if you have a framerate good enough.

3. You can do amazing things online in stunt servers, just today I was in a server with massive amount of warthogs and tanks, a dev modded server for stunts, it was so funny and fun, it was on BG and in the caves with the overshield we filled it up with tanks,warthogs and ghosts to the max like 50 in total , we tried to get in there and did, and everyone was throwing nades and shooting tanks, and even I was driving under the whole thing with a hog making it al move around and stuff. It was like a washing machine, we and the guys were laughing so hard, it was so funny and fun. I even got pushed out of the invisible barriers under the map along with others multiple times, I got to 30 KILOMETERS under the map past the invisible barrier.

4. Unlike the xbox Halo online, there are many many online servers and amazing its growing, I remember just a few months ago it was only what 600 servers, now its 760 the last time I went on, another example, is before it was a steady 2000 people on Halo PC, now its I think a 2700 people average. So with all these new servers and people, you can just go online pick a server and start having halo fun, blowing up warthog, getting triple kills left and right with the tanks, sticking that hog and ghost, blowing up the warthog with a rocket all the way across the map and rubbing it in their face, go all cowboy on BG using the warthog to run people over, and jump off the cliffs to the side and get killed by a rocket with just after your warthog hits 3 people getting a triple kill.

5. The whole playing experience is just so much funnier, for you Halo xbox people just go to the MAW forum and go to the stickies and find Halo PC moments, my thread and see all the fun experiences people have had that were just so amazing, special and ROFLAMO funny that just make you want to play the game yourself.

I believe I made some good points in there, its a long read, but a good one.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

Yeah, both halo xbox and halo pc are cool, but don't go whining about our extra maps, we are no longer supported by bungie, our bungie ctf servers are taken away, and we got many, many tkers and afkers, but ultimately, neither are better than eachother, it's just that simple.

P.S. To all the fanboys that mindlessly flame the opposite side of the "war" (yeah im talking to you pcers too!), flaming and bashing the other side is stupid, and it won't get you anywhere, so don't, it's not cool.

hey, idea! how about we think about the things that are the same to prove that one is as good as the other.in other words,stop -blam!-ing about how much better or worse one is because they both have faults,and both have perks,so everyone just calm down and start thinking instead of posting and complaining at each other.

Ok, since most of us have patched up our feelings between eachother, this thread is kinda pointless now.

P.S. I didn't vote, there is no choice to say "they are both cool" or something.

Typical. Yes, I have played Halo at that resolution, I have a 20" flat panel. I stand by what I said. It can't get on par with the Xbox. The Xbox is smoother, faster, quicker, and has better effects. On the PC, evreything looks fake and plastic. But on the Xbox, it looks real. The Assault rifle looks like metal. I know exactly what HPC brought to the Halo world, I own it. But even all that stuff just wasn't enough to win me over. It's all the performance. Hate to break it to you, dude, but the Xbox is better, performance and visualwise.
