Well, me and my mate have just bought it and have been playing it online. We've drove buggys off cliffs, had hover wars, plane battles and races. This game totally rules. Just wondered if anyone out there has tried this game yet?

Wait a sec.. in Halo PC, multiplayer -has- the air vehicles? WTF? I was so pissed that they didn't put that in the X-Box version. It wouldn't have worked because vehicles were invincible in multiplayer, adding the Plane would've made the person invincible since you can't damage the person without damaging the craft.

PC has air battle.. uber unfair! >_<
Are there Halo servers, or is it like.. direct connect?

Halo? What the hell is that?

Must be some crappy game they made in Germany or something that nobody ever played. Geez.

Im thinking of buying this game, but I dont know. It depends on how good the multiplayer aspect of the game is. I played Halo for xbox and wasnt really impressed. I might have been if they added recoil, but they didnt. Anyway could somone just tell me what multiplayer is like.

Halo on xbox was better...first of all it has not networking abilities, so that means no co-op...the game actually was damn good thanks to the co-op..

I agree the game totally rawked, the story rawked, characters rawked. i'm a total halo fan..but playing with a friend was just 10 times as much fun as on your own.

so its too bad it doesnt have co-op. and 2nd they didnt tweak the textures etc. so personally I have no idea what they spend their 2 years on.

xbox version > pc version (except for the big 'oll multiplayer :))

Warez isn't allowed now remember. Anyway, Halo PC is awesome, it adds numerous new weapons including Flamethrower and a Convenant like rocket launcher, its a great game. I'm glad it's on the PC where it belongs. No really, Bungie originally had it made for PC you know, and Microsoft said, 'AYE.. you better.. make that game on XCox first, or, I will kick ou in da nuts.'

actually it was originally developed for the mac. but thats on a sidenote.

still think it rawked on xbox, and I think FPS games are perfect for consoles, you really get used to the controller after a short time. so its ok imo

i can never get used to firing with a controller. i think halo is mediocore at best, the only reason people liked it so much is because it was the only half decent game for the xbox. id rather play unreal tournament than halo

nah its totally what style you dig imo, I love halo cuz of the story and the environment etc. I never liked Unreal Tournament myself. so that just depends on what genre of FPS games you like really :)

well i like the pc version better because you can have banshees in multiplayer.. there are also much more maps, the textures didnt get worse.. the story and all is the same (so it rox)

remember the alien weapon that explodes when the alien drops it? you can use it yourself now.. its some sort of ubergun that shoots the same green balls as the banshees secondary fire..

also, even tho halo's controls were (unlike all other fps games) great for a console...
but on pc its even better (mouse and keyboard)

also the multiplayer is better because you can join a server with 32 peeps, much more then 4x spit screen.. or having to link 10 xboxes..

Yeah I've played that. Funny though. I've been playing it for the last five months. I think something's wrong with my game though. Maybe it's a limited edition or something, but my box doesn't say "Halo" on it. It says "Planetside."

[drumroll]

what specs ur comp nuttzy?
some 500$ emachines POS,
2.0 ghz, 256 ddr, gf4 64mb, (i forget what card specifically it is, but it was probabaly the best PCI videocard available at best buy) id get a agp mobo so i could use the higher end cards, BUT, i know exactly **** about computer hardware,

for all the stuff it had on it, at the time i consider what i paid a good price,

40 gb HD, 256 ddr, cdrw (duno what speed, but its pretty fast), a dvd drive, i saw computers there with less stuff that were more expensive cuz of the brand name,

though with these specs it should run some of these games a little better, i run cs at 95-100 fps when im not hosting a game, (i only play at lan parties so i can see the person going nuts when i knife em)

on esf it goes from 50-85 at will, but it is most of the time over 75 at least,

on TS its roughly 60 fps, (which i dont have it capped or have v sync on, it just stays there i have no clue why it does that),

i wish to play games such as halo, half life 2, final fantasy x, Unreal 2k3 and 2(genrally the new generation games) with the same or better performance that i achieve with the curent games,

i am planning to upgrade my pc for HL2, (which i know i wont ned to) but i want to know how much i need to be looking to spend and what is my prioritys in getting a better gamoing computer,

(i do plan to get a bigger HD with the package as well, 40 gigs sounds like alot til you only have 2 gigs left)
