Tetsuro, you seriously need some education:
No the code isn't horrible. If your PC is too slow then that's your problem, don't blame Halo for it. It runs perfectly on most medium- to high-end PC's. And no it didn't take away the skill, it added more since the PC version doesn't use auto-aim like the xbox version. That means you need more skill on the PC to do the same thing as on xbox (like sniping). No the graphics aren't worse than xbox. I don't have the best PC out there, it's medium-high spec, and it looks a lot better than xbox because I have a Direct X 9 compatable card. This is no doubt true of anyone with a similar card, including my girlfriend who has a low spec PC, and it able to run Halo perfectly. GeForce 4's and onboard doesn't give Halo a fiar chance, so don't expect miracles. Halo CE was not rushed, it was right on time. I, and many others, love it. It just makes xbox owners sound jealous that they don't have it. Halo is great on PC. AND STFU ABOUT GEARBOX. They've done nothing to deserve all this -blam!-. Rockstar did a god-awful port of GTA3 to PC and did anyone give them a hard time? Very few. FarCry has the worst netcode ever, but do they get flamed for it? Hardly at all. Gearbox GAVE YOU Halo PC so show some gratitude.
So before you come here giving your negative opinion about something which you clearly know so little about, maybe you might do some research first? Halo is better on PC unless your PC is too old or under-financed to make it so. That Is Your Fault, not Halo PC's. You get what you give, and serious PC gamers get more from games because they're willing to give more than a couple of hundred bucks for some under-powered limited-scope games console made like 5 years ago.
Skippy wins, PC gamers win, Halo PC wins.

Yes, even with a 2 year old computer with a pci video card (<_<), i still can get 20-30 fps with all of the pretty stuff on, so really, i dont know what he's talking about...i played halo at my friends house a few times right before hpc came out, and the pc version definitely looks better...they might be equal on a uber-tv, but with a normal one the pc version is better...
And i agree about gearbox, except for abandoning ce...yes, i realize they have other work, but you'd think they would at least try to work out some of the bugs (noteably one that makes my invisibility get all screwy without adding something to the config)...
And...to all you xbox f00s...1)how would you feel if halo2 were being released on pc first? I think you might be typing in all caps as well.
2)Telling him to buy an xbox is....the single rudest thing you can say to someone. Perhaps you had enough money to go out and spend...what was it, $150?...on an xbox, but not everyone can...
