it's only 20 dolars now, but it rocks. i will admit that my friends consider the multiplayer gameplay "slow," but i have no idea what they mean by that

yeah, I think it is. You get new maps, new weapons, better graphics, and online multiplayer. It's better than the Xbox version.

I like it a lot. However it kind of bites because my friend messed up my disc so that it installs to 99% then just dies. How frustrating is that?

Well, now I just go to the Custom Edition, not quite the same, but it works.

Although it's worth it simply for the multiplayer, the graphics and performane is pretty poor compared to the Xbox version.

The graphics are better than the xbox version unless your graphics card or monitor are old and under-powered. But yes, the multiplayer rocks. Deffinately the best thing about Halo.

Big time, i've all the top mp fps games and the one i keep coming back to more that the others is halo, the only downside is there can be a few sihtheads there that teamkill all the time but other than that it's definately the best or one of the best online fps's out there.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Heyyo,

I say it's worth the cash. If you install HaloCE it runs even better than HaloPC, cause I can turn on specular lighting and shadows and my comp doesn't lag as much.. it's great. =D

Multiplayer does get a little annoying if you have high pings (100 is pretty high for HaloPC) and it can get harder. Just remember to lead your shots and you should do great. (check other threads for our advice..)

ya, this is simple
when that box appears it means that your conection is not so great, and you are tempraly disconected from the internet, or lan. the box that appwears represents your network card, and the x shows that it's ofline.
know, it's true that some -blams- do apear on your server, and kill you for weapons. this is mostly not the case, cause most ppl who are not newbies now the map well enough to find anything they want. anouther way to avoidthis is by joining a server with ff off.

Heyyo,

Yeah, for the demo I think it's v1.02, and I think the TKing ban only first emerged at v1.03...
