I AM ME, quit your -blam!-ing. I Highly doubt its coming for pc, and if it is, u'll have to wait a couple of years. no joke, the ONLY 2 reasons y halo1 was for pc is this. The original halo project was meant for the MAC pc, not xbox, until they decided to switch consoles. also, the halo xbox verison did not have online play, and bungie thought it would be cool for halo online. since it was too late for it to be xbl, they make the pc version online compatible. xbox is not hogging it, cuz it was made for the xbox.

Heyyo,

I always find it interesting how the xbox-flamers post anything aboot halo2 before us PC gamers do.. they seem to only focus on halo2 and xbox. :p

Anywho, I'm sure it'll be for PC too dude, everyone wants the money, and PC is a good income cause everyone's got one eh? not everyone's got an xbox, and M$ loves that copying games on xbox isin't nearly as popular as PC, so why not make it xbox exclusive to sell more copies off? like it's been said, profits are one of the main goals of the gaming industry.

There's a Halo-UT2k4 conversion taking place, and a Halo2 Mod for HaloCE, so I'm sure those 2 will keep us occupied for a while. ;)

Well you guys are not thinking right - come on! the only reason for the release of Halo 2 is to sell xbox's - like before when it first came out!
What I guess their plan is... release halo 2 (and the cristal xbox) just before christmas and it would make the perfect gift (high sales) - even i am temped by it - just to play one game, but unless we are all blind gates is planning to show the xbox 2 early next year - so if you ask me they just want to sell off as many xbox's as posible - then when the xbox 2 comes out everyone will want that too - they are not stupid!
My advice is play the halo pc version - lets face it, it is still good (when it works!!!) for a little while longer and you will get halo 2 on pc, may be in two years or so
- lets just hope that when they do release it they can start with a bug free game - I love halo but after playing for a few months my system wont run it any more 'gathering exception data' or just plain crash - so i'm saving up for a P4 HT extreme and a ati x800 may be then it will work!!

OK, to be fair Xbox 2 might be out in January, as will Windows Longhorn, Direct X 10, and the XNA programming breakthrough. No, I'm serious... Of course I'm talking January 2006. I read it in a magazine, and also it is true that M$ are CONSIDERING (don't get your hopes up) the possiblity of the following:

1) Xbox 2 gamers could play Pc gamers at the same game e.g. subsequent Halo titles.
2) Xbox 2 controllers can be plugged into a PC (and used obviously).
3) Porting games to/from the Xbox 2 will be so efficient it is likely to take a mere couple of months to go from one format to the other, and be rock solid at that, so no more dodgy ports.

This is all exciting obviously, imagine finally being able to beat Xbox lamers at their own game. But as yet it's a glimpse into the future. So Do Not take this as fact, and Do Not accuse me of starting rumours. I'm just saying what Microsoft themselves (and those in the industry) have said.

And btw, whoever thinks Halo 2 will be Xbox only is a complete bluetard. GTA: SA has a confirmed release date for PC Already (May '05), so that shows you how long console exclusives last. It about making money, wherever you can, not keeping petty Xbox owners happy.

I dont understand how anybody can possibly say Halo is better on PC than Xbox. It was meant to be played on Xbox, the code on PC is horrible, the addition of the fuel rod and flamethrower took away any skill required to play the game, and even if you have the best PC out there the graphics are still worse than Xbox. Now if Halo 2 does come out for PC im sure it wont be rushed like Halo:CE was, and I hope to god that they don't get Gearbox to do it. I agree that many FPS were desinged for PC and are very good on PC, but Halo just isnt one of them.

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...

Actually ender1101, they were really going stupid they learned Halo was going on PC finally AND it got a better score on Gamespy.com then Halo Xbox. That shows the multitude of kids who are just retarded and stupid.

Sorry boss but you don't win at all. After all who gets Halo 2 first? PC gamers or Xbox gamers? Thus Skippy Loses, PC gamers lose, halo PC loses. As for others. You say wait 2 years. Its two -blam!- years man. Its a huge chunk of your life. Its only been 2 and 3/4 years since the first halo was released on Xbox so by the time you've waited two years, during which Xbox owners have had their way with the game, you get it. Maybe only a couple of months before the release of Halo 3. Who knows. At the end of the day who plays a game simply for graphics? I'd much rather get a game months earlier then have a slight improvement on the graphics. Or thats just me.

First of all, if you look on the FAQ part of the site it says:
Q
What systems will Halo 2 be available for?
A
Halo 2 is being made for the Xbox only at this time.

Which sucks since I'm a computer gamer myself. Lucky Xbox0rz!
And to whoever said that their Halo ran sucky on their computer - It most likely was your computer, not because it just sucks since its made for the computer. Also, the graphics would probably look just as good on the computer if you had a nice video card that ran well with all the settings on high; Nvidia 6800 Ultra/GT or equivelant, possibly even a card lower than that but if you want the best performance and best visuals, that/those would be the kind to get. I have a Nivida GeforceFX 5700 Ultra and it runs fine for me.

It probably wont be two years...at least, i have faith that the people at bungie are not total asses and will in fact find a way to support all of their fans in a reasonable amount of time.

"during which Xbox owners have had their way with the game, you get it...."
Your point? WHat, you wont marry a woman if shes not a virign or something?

"At the end of the day who plays a game simply for graphics?"
The difference between pc and xbox (for me at least) is not big...in other words: not me.

"I'd much rather get a game months earlier then have a slight improvement on the graphics."
Yeah, but see, some of us arent willing to spend $200 to play a single game...

And, even if they follow their current schedule (Gamespot says halo xbox was released 11/14/01, and hpc was released 9/30/03) we'll still get it in slightly less than two years...and thats if bungie says, hey you guys, lets be jerks.
