Probably because many have not been posting (or even viewing the forums) because of spoilers, repeated topics repeated too much, and it doesn't probably grab their attention. Although it should...

dude, think for a sec, what is an xbox?
uh.... a close to worthless computer with a cd-rom drive, a pentium III processor, and a crappy radion card.
any computer made today is better than an xbox.

Heyyo,

OMFG, you are one retarded xbox user. That's it. I'm tired of xbox users claiming that it's still stronger than PC's even though xbox is OLD. I'm gonna pull out my Tribes: Vengeance Video config file, and you'll see how they cranked down the graphics so I'd run decent onna xbox. The textures are set to medium, and many other things. Anyone else with Tribes: Vengeance can back me up on this. Heck, any UT2k3-2k4 game might even show the equivalent xbox settings. Gimmie 3 hrs and i'll have it up on this forum. I'll even put it up on some webspace for those who don't believe me. and NO, I will not edit the file, to fool you guys to thinking xbox is worse can anyone with up to date PC info, heck, even a year old PC info would know xbox is old, and oudated. It's a -blam!- Geforce3, now there's geforce 4's and the new FX series, a whole NEW line of cards. Now, go back to your xbox forums buddy, and enjoy your low res gaming.

If you want further proof, read up on Deus EX 2. I read somewhere it ran at full settings onna new pc at 32F/S while the xbox could only get 15F/S. Hey, I have that game too, I'll see if I can find the video config file on that too, amybe a link to find that comment I just posted.

BTW, I signed the petition.

Genius, Xbox has a DVD drive, thus explaining why you can play DVD's on it.

and secondly, Be informed before you make yourself look like an ignorant fool

Xbox has a Nvidia card in it, not a radeon.


Anywho, Halo 2 would play great on computer. If my computer can run Doom 3 flawless, it can run Halo 2.

The reason Halo 1 runs crappy on Computer is because choices Gearbox chose to make, while porting, and mistakes Bungie made, lby letting Gearbox handle things the way they did.

Heyyo,

Kindness is right, it's a DVD drive, xbox also has a nvidia video card (it's a geforce3), but xbox2 is probably gonna have an ATI card innit. M$ and Nvidia had arguments over xbox ownership (or something like that) and now lots of people say the next xbox will have an ATI innit. (Maybe a rumor, maybe not...).

And yeah, I'm sure if your PC can handle Doom3, it can handle Halo2, as long as it's ported very nicely. The only game I know that works great on consoles n' PC's alike that's fairly new is Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. Mainly cause it's on the Unreal Engine and Unreal Ports very nicely to consoles. This's why Tribes: Vengeance also ports nicely to consoles (it's on the Unreal Engine as well) but yes, they did need to crank down the settings to get it to run nice cause of xbox's age restrictions (remember, it's just a Geforce3). Another hour and I'll have the video configuration file on the net.

Oh wait, I know another game that runs great on consoles too: Max Payne. Then again, Max Payne was made around the time of Geforce 3's I belive, so that's why it looks incredible on xbox's and PC's.

So yes, Kindness, all your statements are true. But you should've gone a bit more indepth with the gearbox situation. They did do a bad job, but they never got time to properly finish Halo. I'm sure if M$ diddn't push them for a release date, HaloPC would've turned out better. What gearbox tried to do was build a whole new game engine, and inna year, I think it turned out ok (remember, the Unreal engine has been in the makings for years, same with the xbox engine that Halo1&2 for xbox uses...). HaloCE is gearbox's attempt to set things right. And yes, it turned out MUCH better than HaloPC, but still needs some work on that netcode, and graphics optimizations, cause Far Cry's much more higher detail, and I can crank the graphics higher on that game no problem with my ATI Radeon 9600 PRO.

The word "stupid" has been imprinted on your forehead since you don't know anything about PC or Xbox hardware. Now go feel the blessing and show off your new stupidity in the Xbox forum.

I agree with that.

Xbox: 800 MHz, 128 RAM, 64MB Directx 8.1 card.
My PC: 3000 Mhz, 1024 RAM, 256 MB Directx 9.0 card.

So remind me again in what respect is the xbox better? You SURE my computer couldn't run it? Halo doesn't lag. Unless your PC is as bad as an xbox :P

Lol. I'm not sure I want to beg. Let's face it there is literally no good reason why M$ would not make Halo 2 PC, and lose out on all that potential profit. As a gesture of faith (in M$'s money-grabbing greed) I won't sign the petition, I'll just live happily in the knowlegde that Halo 2 WILL come out for PC.

How did Halo get -blam!-up on PC? It got better graphics, it got more multiplayer options, it got more vehicles and weapons. The xbox version is the runt in this case. You don't see why Halo 2 would run well because your PC is almost as retarded as you are. Halo online works fine aswell if you have decent broadband and a good PC. Try meeting the minimum system requirements and Then you're allowed an opinion. Which you can then fold, roll up into a cone shape, sprinkle with lemon and shove up your ass.

And leave Gearbox the -blam!- alone. They're not at fault, they don't deserve all this flaming, especially from the likes of you.

HALO PC is the -blam!-tiest FPS I have bought, Halo Xbox is the best FPS i have ever bought.
Im signing this, I want Halo2 for the PC. As long as its not ported by gearbox.

you can defend gearbox all you want skippy, they screwed up, bad. if your buying there "its up to the community to save haloPC now" -blam!- instead of taking some respsponsibility and fixing the game THEY screwed, thats fine. But dont expect the rest of us to accept the crap in a box we got.

Woah man, the idea is cool because I don't have and Xbox, but the reason it wouldn't work well is because you have to install things on the pc which slows the gameplay down considerably, you do not install anything on the Xbox you just play, the only things that are actually on the Xbox is progress, names, and gametypes, so pc's might be more powerful but they are not designed exculisivley for gaming
