I don't imagine it will be out for quite some time. Take Halo on PC for example; it took quite a long time to come out didn't it? That's why I'm buying an Xbox.

I suggest you do the same, It's worth it AND you don't have to wait for a port.

if u plan on waiting for da pc version, plan on waiting for a lonnggg time. there were 2 reasons why halo1 was for the pc. 1 was because if was origianlly for the pc, until they swithced it to the xbox. 2, was because halo1 did NOT have online play (xbc wasnt out by then), and they wanted players all around the world to play each other.

They made it on the PC to make money.

Rumor has it that Halo 2 Trial for the PC will be able for downloading on November 5th...i'm not too sure about this...we'll all might as well stick around and see if it does or not.

Heyyo,

(I feel like I'm gonna be writing this many a-times over... I should make a tutuorial page or something like I did for installing bots on CS, lol)
you're wrong, Pinoy_Flip. Halo was first made for the macintosh, search these threads, you'll find videos of how halo was first meant to be: A myth-style RTS game on the mac. Think about it, Bungie was a MACINTOSH-focused gaming company.

THEN M$ came in with the massive wallet n' made it xbox exclusive for a while. Same deal for Halo2. so it'll be a while...

*sighs* I hate being repetitive, but so many must learn the truth eh?

I'm sure Halo2 will take forever, just get that Halo 2 mod for HaloCE, it should be close enough for now. ;)

Its not a matter of time, its a matter of when Microsoft can't squeeze anymore money from the Xbox, then they'll put it to the PC to fuel the Xbox's R&D department just like how they did with Halo PC.

Wrong. #1: Halo was originally for the Mac, not PC.
#2: They didn't pout it out for pc soley so people could play worldwide. They figured that there was a market for Halo on the PC, and since the XBOX is like a PC stripped down and rebuilt into a console, it was a no-brainer to port it to PC. Keep your facts straight.
