*sigh* Let's just say there's other threads about this particular topic? There is no answer to it anyway. Only opinion. If you're asking for our Opinions, mine is yes there will be Halo 2 for PC. I see no reason why there wouldn't be, since it'd be a serious money-maker.

I agree that there probably will be Halo 2 for PC, but they will probably wait until a year or so before the release of Halo 3 to port it and capitalize on publicity like they did with the original.

I think that there's a risk to that, by the time they release Halo 2 for PC, everyone with the xbox version will know the storyline off by heart, and therefore make the single player campaign a pointless waist of time. I had completed Halo long before the PC version was released, and so when I got it I only ever played the multiplayer. It was only after a few months that I thought I'd have a go at the single player, and even then I didn't play it all the way through because I'd already done it so many times on xbox. The only way Halo 2 PC would make me want to play through the story again (assuming I've done it over and over on xbox) is if they were able to make a co-op mode over the internet like Sven-Coop for Half Life. If not then... straight to multiplayer I go.

Even for those without an xbox, you're bound (doomed) to hear so much about Halo 2 xbox that little about Halo 2 PC will be of any surprise at all. That's why I'm glad they released Splinter Cell 2 at the same time on both consoles, and same for Doom 3 I think.

We get Half Life 2 first though! =D lol.

P.S. I've heard rumours that Splinter Cell 3 might come out on PC before Xbox... they might be unfounded but the rumour made sense, it's because they're sick of having to use the same old Unreal engine which the xbox version limits them to, whereas PC's are now so powerful that they can allow the game to progress further.

Doesn't matter there Skippy, I don't play Xbox FPS games ever so I wouldn't care about if the Xbox people have already played Halo 2 high and dry. What matters is if the game will ever make it to PC after all, what company is stupid enough to not complete the storyline on another platform.

Very good point there. You mean since the end of Halo 1 suggests so strongly that there will be a sequel, that there's likely to be a sequel on PC? Coz otherwise they would have altered Halo 1 so the story ends... Halo 1 and 2 are so closely related aswell, not like say Tombraider which always had a definite beginning and end, so that it didn't really matter what order you played the games in. Hmm I never thought of it that way. Bonus point to Ekul1021.

The word "the game" in the sentences means "Halo 2." Minus points for Skippy for not reading the post carefully.

This means they made Halo PC. Good, now they got part one on PC, are they going to make part 2 on PC which Halo 2. And that was what this answer is all about.

You gotta read the post more carefully man. F-- for the day. And no tea and biscuit for you today.

I'll don my conical hat with the D on it, stand in the corner, and play Halo CE while I think about what I've done.

Heyyo,

I know, coop would be great for Halo, with HaloCE it might be possible, cause there's some maps already with the SP AI put innit n' modded a bit.

Speaking of SvenCoop, yo Skippy, ever tried it with bots? I'm making the whole SinglePlayerCampaign with RCbot. They can beat around %80 of the levels now. ;) I'm just aboot done the pack too. I just need to go over some maps to make sure bots can beat the levels ok and without too much problems. If you wanna beta-test my waypoints with me, just ask dude, I can always use a 2nd persons eye since mine ain't sharp at catching all the probs all the time. = )

Lol, it's great man, they run at zombies on that 3rd level n' die a lot, but I get a good kick outta it. so I think that's all tha counts. Lol, they also can't figure out good times to run through hazards, like that one map you're onna conveyor belt and pistons slam the bots into the wall all the time... SPLAT! lmao, I can sit there for hrs watchin' em die. If you get the latest RCbot dll, they ignore the tentacle badguys, so they just merrily walk around the level, until a tentacle starts slamming the ground infront of them. =D

One Small downside to Rcbot right now is it can't use those held down useable objects like spinning wheels to open doors.. and they have probs with elevators sometimes. Like, the elevator on C4a2, they'll get impaitent sometimes n' leap down the elevator chaft... WEEEE!!! lmao

OH! speaking of SvenCoop, it will be made for HL2, it shall be called SvenCoop2.. so there's a big plus to getting HL2 whilst waiting for Halo2 to eventually come to PC... maybe even an RCbot2 for SvenCoop2??? I think that'd make my day. =D
