Hey do you guys thing that Halo 2 will come out for PC?

I have yet to hear anything about it.

.

Eventually it will, but what's the point really? Sure, you don't need an Xbox to play, but it's like playing Mario on ROMs..

I hope they don't... The first version for the CPU didn't turn out really good anyway...

i hope it does cause the first halo for pc was good cause of online

.

hmmm i didnt have problems with the lag....

anyway since halo 1 got ported, halo 2 undoubtly will 2.....

i even got the patience cause i hate shooters on console cause the aiming standard sucks..... that doesnt mean i cant shoot im just mouse all the way cause i was born in the fps pc community

next to that, the port of halo1 was mindblowing better on the pc when it comes to graphics, true that you needed a mindblowing pc for that back then but it was worth it

i hope it doesn't , A- 30 percent of pc's would barely handle it and make it lag and B- the graphics went way down from halo xbox to pc, they were shamefull compared to the xbox version and halo 2 would only be worse

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

you say this, realizing that xbox has a 733mhz processor, a 250mhz gpu, 64mb ram? while most modern PC's have 2000mhz+ processors, 400mhz+ gpu's, and 512mb to 1024mb of ram? and growing exponentially? A PC COULDN'T PERFORM AS WELL AS A CRAPPY XBOX?!

and the halo pc's graphics were a marketing gimmick; they wanted more people to get xbox's for this "amazing new (read: overrated) game".

As much as I agree that a fair amount of PC's could handle Halo 2 the fact that Xbox is a dedicated machine does make it a little more powerful at what it does. Also, I doubt there would be much effort put into optimizing the port for PC since the PC game market is becoming less and less important so it would take a higher level PC to run it anyway.

I don't see what the big deal with Halo 2 is anyway. Sure it's fun but it doesn't reinvent the genre by any means and I find its multiplayer sorely lacking if you want to do anything other than Xbox live. Not to mention the graphics are far less impressive than many other games due to the horrible texture pop-up.

Also, why would you want Halo 2 when Half-Life 2 just came out?

fine, then to add to my previous post, i'll say that they didn't make halo as good for pc because THE GRAPHICS WEREN'T AS GOOD NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE PC WAS. maybe they didn't make it as well, i dunno but i do know the xbox version is way better

.

harv: ever heard of... lan?
and psish, put halo 2 beside HL2, and then tell me halo 2 is better.

wraith_dman: again, it's not that the PC can't handle it, it's that the game makers did not port it correctly/did it on purpose so people would prefer the game on xbox, and thus persuading more people to buy an xbox for it. which is what happened.

personally, i'm beginning to dislike the entire halo franchise, just because it's so freaking hyped up. to quote pennyarcade:

ever heard of... lan centres?

When do you guys think it will be coming out for PC?

Hahaha! So now you're suggesting people go to an organised meeting place just to play some multiplayer games? Ahahah.

bahahahahahhaha.

And people say there are Xbox fanboys...

hahahahahaaha.

hahahahahahaha.
wow, ever heard of arcades? it's where people without either computers or consoles go to, you know, play games.

and instead of saying people who lan are fanboys, i think it's more appropriate to say you're just inept.

I must say that halo (pc) on lan is one of the craziest things ever. About 293875023985723097582 * better than the xbox version because of lan games. For some reason I'd prefer pc lan over xbox lan. Not to mention that xbox controllers annoy the hell out of me -.-"

I agree magz, halo pc was amazing cause of online play and the aimming is way better with the mouse than xbox controller.

really, controllers suck in general for fps's, since a mouse is so much more vertasile and easier to get to a specific spot. ever tried those arcade shooters on console? ugh.

.

clearly you're simply too incompetent to get a computer. you can communicate at lans. and are you suggesting i have to go to somebody else's house to play a freakin' game?

We don't use text to get this fun across, we use actual human speech, not "lol, h4x0r_117 just blu imself up wit a rockit l4uncher. lmao!"
I was not aware that Halo/2 didn't have voice communication on the PC. That must be a major drawback. -_-

^One of the many things that made it suck. By the way, that is 1337 speak; only people whom are dedicated to gaming use that language, it is used for show and taunting, not to confuse people.

not for some; a lot of people are tired of the immature taunts and other random shit from the voice chat.

and people who always speak in l33t are probably retards. it's ok to use it occasionally to make a point though.

halo is meant for xbox, even the aiming is retarted on pc, i can't get it right and it's much better/less lagging on xbox and generally better in all ways and it should just stay for xbox only

.

One thing is for certain, the aiming is retarded on consoles....u need to play it alot to get the aiming right

Plus it sucked compared to the Xbox version.
:think: Maybe it's just me, but I thought the PC version was cooler, because: You can play multiplayer without anyone screen cheating (like this: :shifty: )
You can use keyboard/joystick/mouse, which are customisable
It runs great on the Apple G5 I have upstairs, with XBox quality graphics, too! (reflections, full anti-aliasing, no TV fuzziness, etc.)
Just my opinion. I would love a PC/Mac version of Halo 2! The reality is, though, Microsoft wants people to buy their XBox, so looks like this one is gonna be XBox only.

<edit> Oh yeah, AND with the PC you don&#39;t have to pay to play online. Beat that. -_-

nice nice lol

Hey. I was just wandering around the web and found this forum. I read some of the posts and thought that I&#39;d like to be part of the discussions.

About Halo...yeah...Has anyone ever played Tribes or Tribes 2 (Made by Sierra)? It&#39;s been out for years now. Long before Halo. Tribes is a game where you join a team online and try to execute objectives based on the map. You had vehicles, tons of weapons, jet packs, and more. (Sound familar?) You could even choose a "class" that gave you special abilities unique from other classes. Microsoft decided to make a game with almost the exact qualities, upgrade the grapics, and slap the title "Halo" on it. With their little black and green box of "joy", they knew that they would make a huge profit off of it. As if they needed any more money....and as for Halo 2 on comp, I would think that they would release it on pc to expand their profits off of the game...but, I&#39;ve no idea when.

i&#39;ve played tribes 2, and there&#39;s a lot more team based action than halo.

.

^True, unless their&#39;s good Admins that kick people whom are in a diffrent league (God I hate it when that happens, but it keeps the game fresh)

When do you guys think it will be coming out?

XD I almost fell over in my chair when I read this.

That might be true if you never touched a PC FPS ever before.

ya i agree with magz
