Half Life 2 is out next month, a lot of people already have it pre-loaded on their computers via Valve's Steam distribution program.

It'd be IMPOSSIBLE for Halo 2 to come out on PC before Half Life 2 unless it's the biggest cover up ever, which would just be retarded...

In fact HL2 might even be out before Halo 2 Xbox, or at least within a week.

BTW I'm gonna buy xbox halo 2 then PC version coz it'll be better.

I already got Half Life 2 collector's edition reserved already. Its not because of the goodie things that come with it, its because the game will come in a DVD which is alot better then using 6 or 7 cds. As for Halo 2 PC, wait for it on PC and if Bungie announce its not coming, then I just throw away my Halo PC and Halo figures in the trash can.

What PC version? Nothing has been announced or even hinted at. Even if it did come out, they haven't said anything about who would port it, and even if they did it would be at least another year (probably) after the annnouncement. If you want to play Halo 2, get an Xbox. Microsoft has you in their clutches. There is no escape.

Nope, I don't have Halo Xbox at all. Probably never, and haven't even touch the game cover of it. As for Microsoft in our clutches, nope, no PC Halo 2, no 50 bucks to Microsoft, no biggie, still got Half Life 2. Just look at what Microsoft did to Halo PC, you should ask JSBach how he feels too.

Um, I was trying to be funny. :-(

Yeah, Johann Sebastian would roll over in his grave if he knew what Gearbox did to HaloPC. ;-)

Believe it or not, EBgames still has my 10 dollar deposit for Halo PC back in 1999 before Microsoft gobbled Bungie up. Don't forget the PC community who basically got screwed like 5 years ago now. And now that we got Halo PC, its basically a milk attempt by Microsoft on them.

Lol seriously man, we've got HL2 which xbo will either never have, or have a really bad cut down version of. Same as FarCry, they had to murder the graphics on that just so xbox could run it.

Heyyo,

Heh, yeah, if you wanna great example of how they had to lower quality on games to get it to run on xbox? pick up Tribes: Vengance. In the default.ini they left in all the xbox configuration stuff.. they cranked down the textures to medium, level detail to only high, n' a few other things. My comp can run high textures, and ultra high level detail pretty nicely. ;)

BTW, I'll wait for Halo 2 PC. I've got Tribes: Vengeance, n' eventually HL2, and I've got Doom3.. so I've got my hands full. =D If it never gets made at least I'll hav ethat HaloCE H2 mod. :)

Uh... what's the big deal with getting it on Xbox? It's not like you have to sell your soul to Microsoft for it...

id rather buy it for PC but im getting it for XBOX first. usually, the XBOX looks crisper and cleaner with its graphics then in the PC (or my PC at least, but i got it upgraded), but i like PC for its online payability and maybe new features they'll put in like for Halo PC.
