Anyone hear any word on if & when ??

Last i heared they werent doing it, but i wouldnt be surprised if they did.

You could just grab a cheap xbox, or maybe a 360 and play the game on that with improved graphics :)

I don't have the manual dexterity to use a game pad. :(

I think Halo 2 was a big disappointment. The only thing they added was dual wield. It may just be me but if i where you i wouldn't bother.

I love Halo 2 on the xbox. A lot more fun. And the graphics is a beauty for an xbox game.

I agree with you there...

Halo was amazing (i first played it on pc and then xbox) but halo 2 didnt really get me interested...and then of course, i bought HL2 a week later, which spoilt halo2 completely :)

Was it just more of the same gameplay style?

What dissapointed? It couldn't have just been because of dual yield.

Framer,

HL2 spoiled everthing back then :D

The Halo 1 port to PC was a huge fiasco. Even with a monster PC it still ran like you were trying to play it on an old 286 computer. The fps were horrible. I threw it away faster than I got it.

I have to agree with HL2 spoiled almost everything :).

Funny - It ran fantastic on this rig - beautiful game play & graphics. :?

It also ran great on my old PC with 3 monitors ... 3840x1024 ... looked fantastic and played well too ... :shock:

I played Halo 1 on my xbox and i played it through in about 3 days.
I never tryed the pc version, since the only added content was multiplayer, and i don't do multiplayer.
The the second Halo came out for the box and offcourse i bought it since the first chapter was so good. But it was such a disappointment.
The graphics were almost exactly the same as the first, so was the story, but then on earth.
There were no new gameplay ellements but the dual wield bogus. It was a real waste of money for me. :(

Luckily Halflife 2 came to make me feel happy again. :lol:

I´m glad the game played good on your computers. Halo was in most magazines when testing new gfx and cpu and all that stuff and Halo didn´t get over 60-70fps no matter how extreme the system was. Me and my friends had the fps problem and I read all sorts of magazinez and read on the internet and they all had the same problem in their tests that it didn´t get over 60-70 fps. Dunno what to say :)

ctrlsteef, everyone has its own opionon of the game and that´s ok but you have to agree the graphics between Halo and Halo 2 is big. I haven´t heard anyone before telling me there is no difference. I didn´t play Halo one much so I can´t comment story and gameplay but I do remember the gfx.

Yep, everyone has his opinion, mine is that the difference isn't big enough for me. I just couldn't help thinking i was playing the same game.

So I will probably enjoy it as I didn't mind the story line & won't mind more along the same lines. :D

Yes Doug, that's possible. I always want new stuff in the games i play. But if you just want more of the same as in Halo 1 you are certainly going to like it.

Microsoft just announced Halo 2 for the pc is only going to be compatible with Windows Vista.

It's gonna be quiet the investment to play Halo 2 then. You have to buy Halo 2 AND Windows Vista. :?

That.

Sucks.

Arse.

Boo, Micro$oft! :evil:

I hope someone works out how to get Halo 2 working on other OSes, like they did for Doom 3 and Windows 98...

Just a rumour, started by me, here and now :), but wouldn't it be great if they bundled it with Vista? Just as an extra incenctive to buy the gaming edition? I can wish can't i?

I agree. It's just another way to squeeze money out of us. :evil:
Is 45 billion still not enough for Bill? :?

Not with Roman Abramovich 'Our lord and saviour' catching up fast :o
