I'm not asking this for entertainment, or to see what people think, I'm doing this to get a basis of how things work. I've never had or used Xbox Live, and Halo 2 on Live, so I have no idea what that's like, but I always hear about modders and cheaters. I have a lot of experience with Halo PC, and I do run into modders and cheaters, but the biggest problem I run into is the people. The majority of the people on there are dicks and pricks. They cuss you out every time you kill them, the server operators will ban you for "being to good, so you must be cheating", or for picking up a certain weapon, or, my personal favorite, getting pissed off for being teamkilled. Yes, I get teamkilled, get pissed off about it, the server operator doesn't want to hear about it, or do anything about it, he just wants to scratch his fat ass, so he bans me.

So, I ask you. Which is better? Halo PC's dicks, or Halo 2 Live's cheaters?

Halo PC by far, I like regular gametypes with default everything. Now I know PC isn't all default, but I like how you can search for a game and not get stuck in one like live.
In halo 2 you have the choice of matchmaking, where you don't get to choose gametypes or maps, or custom games, where the only thing people want to play are "zombies".
Halo pc ftw.
And atleast in halo pc you don't have to hear the asses.

well, I chose hpc because it's free. I don't have to pay for the services and such. On the other hand Live you have to pay for *though the people do get banned on live by bungie themselves* also on hpc you can choose the games that you want to play, on the other hand live you get thrown in the closest game

Seeing as this is the HALO PC forum, I'm pretty sure most people are going to say Halo PC.

Those people are missing my point. I don't mean which one you like better, I mean which one is a better experience due to people. No bias at all!

I play Halo Pc.

The thing that gets me is why would you post this? I mean come on, you posted a poll weather people play Halo PC, or if they play Halo Xbox. The thing that gets me is that you posted this in "The Maw". If remembre correctly this is the place were Halo Pc player can Chew the fat, and talk about Halo 2 Vista. Yet you started a poll here. It so obviouse that your going to get my people saying Halo Pc, when you post it in the Halo Pc forum.

Please stop spamming for the sake of having a post.

I don't know where you're getting this, but I'm not spamming. I'm asking people who have played Halo PC online as well as Xbox Live to see which one is a better experience due to the people there. This is in no way biased. I posted it in the Maw, because I have only played Halo PC online, and I haven't played Live, so I thought it would be best fitting for me to post it in the board of the one I've actually played. You are completely misinterpreting what I've said, and I think you should go through it again. You openly accused me of "posting a poll whether people play Halo PC, or if they play Halo Xbox". If you had actually taken the time to READ my original post, you would have seen that I was asking which was a better experience, again, due to the people, Halo PC online, or Halo 2 Live. Again, this has no reflection on which on you like better, it is based on which one has better people.

I suggest you from now on, read everything the person has said, and think before you say something stupid like that.

Dude, You're gunna get cheaters, modders, racists, morons, and all manner of sub-humans playing online. Whether it's on Xbox or PC.

I read your original post quite thoroughly, and yes, This is spam.

And this does have a reflection on who likes what better. Obviously if someone has a better experience with PC they're gunna say they like PC. Conversely if they had a better experience on Xbox, they'll say they like Xbox. It's a fairly simple concept.

It all comes down to a persons opinion. The only way for you to find out which is the better experience is to try it for yourself.

I agree, you will find cheaters no matter where you go.

Halo PC is my choice and I love it ,but XBL is certaintly fun and I would suggest trying it. I have fun playing Halo 2 personally.

This is not spam! And it is not supposed to be biased in any way! This isn't a reflection of what you like better, this is supposed to be based on which one IS better, due to the users! Wnat to know why this isn't spam?

I'll gladly tell you!

I have been considering getting Xbox Live, and I have heard of cheaters, modders and idiots on it. Now, with my experience on Halo PC, I have some idea of what I'd be up against. I've seen some of that. But I want to know if what both I and all the other Halo PC goers have experienced is worse, or better than that of Xbox Live! I am using this as a basis on whether I get Live or not, and that's also why I need unbiased opinions! So this is not spam, because it serves a purpose! And if it was, three hours after it was made, a moderator would surely see it, and lock it!

Got it?

Guess what Matt, whether you like it or not there are going to be biased opinions. People who say PC are going to be biased towards PC, and the same for Xbox. You're not going to get an unbiased opinion here.

Then I guess I'll have to disregard their opinions, if they're going to be biased. And you know what? That's okay! I got a PM from someone with a reasonable, intelligent and totally unbiased opinion on the matter at hand, so I know it's not impossible. Fancy that!

You'll have to disregard everyones opinion, meaning you posted this for nothing. How is this not spam then?

I guess you didn't read all of my post either! Wow, you people need to look at all of it. Don't you remember me saying that someone did give me an unbiased opinion? I guess it's not impossible!

You may also remember me telling you it's not spam because it served a purpose.

XBOX LIVE all the way. I know PC is free and there's servers to join that can boot cheaters and such, however, there is no lag issues on LIVE, gameplay is SMOOTH and there is hardly any random glitches. I play LIVE when I want no lagg bs and play fun customs with friends that can be changed instantly, and I play PC when I don't want cheaters.

Oh and you can mute all those annoying pricks online. :-)!

CUSTOM EDITION...with a dedicated server. Now that's fun. Or I once knew someone who had T1, so that was nice.

If you come to the Halo PC form what do you think will win? If you go to Nw Mombassa who do you think will win? This is a very stupid question to ask when the people here lov PC games, and most have never played XBL.
