hehe i AM a pc supporter and im pretty prepared to get flamed. anyway, i will admit that in my experience NOTHING is as fun as a halo lan party...and the only one ive been to was only 8 people. i like the mouse/keyboard MUCH better than any game controller tho the xbox is my favorite out of the ones ive tried (N64, PS2, Gamecube, Sega genesis (lol i think thats its name) ). actually the resolution of a comp screen is greater than that of a tv (ummmm at least im pretty sure it is). the reason many people find the xbox version better really has very little to do w/ xbox vs pc. gearbox just ported it (i think thats the correct term) really, really bad. the netcoding (again im hoping thats the right term) sucks so theres hella lag on most servers, but theres always a few w/ very little to 0 lag...yeah u have to install but really i mean so what? the patching is done automatically and its only necessary when u play mp...i bet u i can click multiplayer, wait through the automated update check, and even install an update and begin playing a 16 player ctf be4 u can even call all of your friends over. also, i can run halo pc (on lowest settings) w/ no lag (sp) and i have a pentium 3 and a geforce fx 5200...so u dont need an AWSOME computer to play it...so yeah in my opinion theyre both different and better in their own ways...pc has the convenience (once installed), more precise (though it can be argued whether or not theyre better) controls, and instant multiplayer...if ur an only child and ur sittin at home w/ an xbox and ur friends cant come over, theres only so many times you can play the campaign...xbox lan parties which are the best gaming experience imaginable...i can see where people would like either one better, i just hate the ppl who go "PLAY HALO AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE ON THE XBOX PC SUCKS XBOX RULES PC SUCKS, OH YEAH AND NINTENDO SUCKS TOO!!!" sides halo was originally gonna be a pc game till micro$oft bought them out...sry if this was too long or i spelled/talked like a n00b
