For years now I have faithfully bought and played games for the PC. The superior flexibility and capabilities make any current game console look like the cheap second cousin it is. I bought Halo for the Pc when it finally was released for PC and love it. I am really disapointed that I am going to have another excuricating long wait for Halo2 to be released for PC. It is really discrimination against Pc and Mac users. By the time we get the game the excuse the expression punks with the cheap platforms have a distinct advantage when it comes time for online play.
A game console is so limeted by the resolution of a tv be it low res or high def it is hardly worth the effort in my opion to play. I'll drop 200 - 300 bucks for graphics cards then and have a faster system with better graphics then ANY console then drop the same cash on a lame console that cannot be easily upgraded. It is kinda like those fools dropping 300 bucks for those tiny digatal cameras that need noisy digtal zoom to get a decent shot that my Nikon SLR D70 gets using a opitical 300 mm lens with no zoom noise. If you want high perfromance by a high performance system or camera.
Halo 2 belongs on a PC/Mac first and those cheap platforms last.
Sorry for the length but I hope someone in marketing listens for opnce.

All the PC people bought WindowsXP, office or etc that cost a couple hundred dollars, and yet Microsoft doesn't seem to want to release Halo 2 on PC.

Halo 2 is crap. total garbage!!! The 2003 e3 demo was a fake, they didn't include anything even close to it in halo 2, they only recycled some of the assets, but nothing from the demo..it was a total farce!!!

god they are going to get sued for this fraud!!!

Halo PC is still the best halo ever, that's why i'm back!!!

Heyyo,

The one main thing I'm hoping for in Halo2 is better weapon balance, cause in HaloPC it's pretty weak. Rockets should only bet 1shot kill if it hits the players cause c'mon we're onna PC, any n00b can shoot a rocket near someone, but to him him with it? now that's not seen everyday, and fuel rods was the worst addon to the game, and banshees are too stong, it's like a flying fuelrod/ghost hybird but more accurate than the ghost. I mean, the poor ghost is limited to the ground, at least make that more accurate than the banshee... Ok, enough ranting, so yeah, my main concern = better weapon balance.

Well, if you think about it, the e3 video of Halo1 was also purely scripted, and I'm sure that they just created that compact level just for e3 to get in as much eye candy as they could.

It is very frustrating because us PC users have to wait and wait for the game to come out. I don't have the resources to get my computer up to par so I can't use the PC version yet either. However Halo 2 looks like a good game but I'll have to wait to try it out. By the way, why would the covenant need the carbine anyway?

If Microsoft released Halo 2 next week, it probably would be a suicide because there are 2 games that is coming to the PC like the 2nd coming of a God which is Half Life 2 and World of Warcraft. And in Christmas, I'm sure Half Life 2 will make it big again there as Riddick is coming to PC. But hey, it is Microsoft's lost if they don't want to release Halo 2 on the PC because I'm not playing a game using a controller, thats only for fighting games in my opinion.

totaly agree...and don`t forget that the new Unreal is in the making...but if they launch it at Christmas they would rake in money like nobody`s buisness,and yes the consoles have crap controls wich don`t even compare to a good old mouse and keyboard...for a shooter at least...
