Pwned, I'm proud of you Laser.

It was MADE for Xbox, so ofcourse it is going to run and play much better on it.

Besides you can't even slouch in a lazy boy chair if it's on a computer.

actaully, most die hard halo junkies that i've met don't like halo 2 just b/c of small little technical things, I think it's just b/c they are so used to things working a certain way in halo

Need I remind you Halo and Halo 2 on X-Box support a usb mouse for "perfect" aim. And the X-Box isnt for failures its for those of us that enjoy the obvious perks of a console system. (I need not list them) and like to be able to save games, and music without a memory card, who wanted more graphical and processor performance than the PS2 AND who like to play it online with X-Box Live. PLUS for the money it was a WAY better buy than a pc for gaming power and performance. Our comp here at home cost us $2400 brand new at about the same time the X-Box came out and im sure that the X-Box at $200 was a better buy. 14 X-Boxs worth of power would surely outdo my computer.

But my main point of buying it was No Bombing to desktop, no other background programs slowing shit down, 4 people can play on one X-Box head to head, and I have 2 plasma TVs side by side split down the middle coming from one X-Box output so each side of the split-screen is as big as a small-mid size TV. (if you want to know the hardware and setup I use to do this just p.m. me otherwise your tech-minded enough to figure it out yourself) Oh and I could only find like 2 title at the time that I liked for PS2. And the only one I can remember is Ace Combat 4. The X-Box just had cooler titles and a bigger more "hand-filling" and comfortable controller. Plus I hate the PS2s analog controllers placed side by side fuckes with me and their pressure sensitive buttons are almost impossible to get the right amount of pressure to like say Zoom out my map in Ace Combat 4 and 5. I say if you need something with pressure sensitive controls just get a flight stick with throttle or a racing wheel with gas, brake, and clutch. (I hated Gran Turismo A-Spec with just full gas and no gas and the same on the brake, the pressure sensitive buttons were terrible for this they made the gas and brake jump.)

on X-Box a Usb Mouse and the directional pad is the ultimate control for 1st person shooters. Just like the mouse and keyboard (god I love sniping people out of the Banshees and wraiths.)

i bought my pc a year ago last july and it was onl 900£, pc's that i now sell in work still arent as good as it for that price

consoles suck compared to pc's, and the xbox is just a wanna be pc and chunky mp3player, i hated the orogional old xbox controllers for being hige just to fit that ugly green x on it, thank fuck they shrunk them donw a bit, but you cant custom key a multibutton mouse on a ps2 or xbox usb

and pc's are better, most costly yes, but better

i own a ps2 and a gamecube, theres no point owning an xbox they always port to ps2 and pc, and bill gates is the devil

and if youve played multiplayer halo, on xbox anc pc, more maps on the pc version, you cant us ebanshees in xbox and u dont get the rocket launching car either, im not sure if its compatiable with xbox live but 30 players is more fun than 4, even if they are your m8's huddled round a tv on 1/4 screens

Aaaand all that fixed with Halo 2! And much better. May I note that PEECEE doesnt have Halo 2?

Only on Xbox, It's good to play togeda. :lol:

P.S. Divi man, I love you. lol It's good to see that not everyone here is a PC n00b/Nerd.

Yeah okay I played the game and it totally sucks tiny banana ass..
The story is just plain bs.
It's all like, omg another Halo! Let's infiltrate it AGAIN.
Then you keep beating aliens off their Ghosts.
And then you have problems switching guns because
you run out of ammo every minute or so.
That's why they introduced Duel Weapons.
Oh dear, isn't that jolly!
You always end up with guns you don't want.
It's not what I expected it to be, I really expected a top notch game.
Graphics...are good..But. Omg the pictures they put on the internet
really do deceive.
After you finish the game with cheats enabled you might as well use it as a dinner plate.

P.s. PC PWNS ALL! :banana:

i enjoyed halo 1 for coperative missions and a short multiplayer life on xbox, but if halo is only for xbox why did they pc port it, they will do the same with this, and u know the pc version will be better, just like halo1 was

The "Only on Xbox" thing doesn't mean the game only exists on the xbox, just that it has some features that only the xbox version will have. This could be anything including but not limited to: a hidden level, weapon, movie, etc.

And yes FPS are always much better on pc, but I prefer consoles for fighters.

I'm interested in playing Halo 2 when it comes out on PC, yes, but I was pretty unimpressed by Halo.

I prefer more frantic games, me :)

We're on the last Co-op Heroic game? Wow... I must be sleeping too much lol.

My Xbox stopped workign on only Halo 2 and it screwed it up. Not sure whats goin on.

I have played Halo 2. SMGs do run out of ammo quick, but there are so many other weapons around it doesn't matter.

The weapons overall are awsome. I don't like the pistol. But the other weapons are nice. You get to use soem nice vehicles. And boarding a Wraith tank, beating out the hatch, then droping a grenade in. That is awsome. Especially after you take it from them afterwards.

It has a lot to offer. I am highly enjoying it. The graphics are good. The AI is great. I highly reccomend it. Befroe you go into 'This game sucks! This game RoXx0rZz!!!11one'
At least try the game out. Some people don't like it. At least try it.

I prefer console games. There are some good computer games out there, but many you can't get on pc. If You like it on pc, it's almost the same on xbox. I like controlers. A mouse just feels weird when you play consoles all the time lol.

I say get the game. It is the best FPS I've seen so far. The changes from Halo-Halo 2 are small in in-significant. The health system is changed, so what. The pistol was changed, they said it was broken before anyway. It is a great game, and with the downloadable content it will be better and better.

Frantic? You should play shotguns no sheilds on Halo or no sheilds anything on Halo 2. It is fast paced and deadly.

What the? You say stupid things sometimes keeper.

16x4 is a serious duobt in the Xbox play. But if it is possible, thats 64 players.

Some pc games can get up to 128 or more... I await the OMPAWNZORED to follow...

Keeper, I'm proud of you. That's some impressive stuff if it's true man. I hear legendary in Halo 2 is really really hard.

Fun fact: I got 211 kills on the PC in this one Blood Gulch CTF. :)

GJ though.

I hear the subs are crappy. So are the pistols...What else (As far as weapons) is crappy? I was looking forward to the BattleRifle...hows that? What about the Covie Carbine? Any good?

Nov 12, 2004, @ 02:13 AM
the battle rifle is great, but if you don't like burst mode you'll hate it b/c that's all it does, you can zoom in 2x and sniper with if you're good. As for the carbine, it's about the same as the battle rifel as far as zoom goes and also damage delt but it's only a laser beam like the beam rifle.

bentusi, i consider myself quite a skilled FPS player, but legendary is in-fucking-credible. and if you say you are past like level 4, i probably wont believe you. i have spent like 10 hours on the 1st level alone and cannot get past this ONE fucking part. they just keep coming out of the fucking boarding tube and i stand on the bridge shooting the elites with headshots, but soon i completely run out of ammo and grenades after about the 19th board. but yea, DJ, have what you want. i have a hot ass pair of logitech wireless XBox controllers, and the most comfy black leather recliner ever, plus i can actually sit on the couch next to my friends, eat pizza, drink beer together, and enjoy some good face to face slayer games. so if you say console gaming doesnt have its perks, you are insane. and bentusi, if you can beat the game on legendary, i hail you ask a god, and ask you for some fucking help. my pride will not let me switch to heroic again.

All the weapons are good smgs are most used their basically as strong as assualt rifles

Some updates i have found that their releasing a patch to coordinate and maybe get less players allowed so the 64 may be removed it could create extreme lag, a modification is needed for the xbox to allow 4 players to create as one theirs some really good levels in there flood is hard i suggest you get an energy sword and dual wield a smg and brute plasma rifle

Seriously, all I did was give my opinion and I ruined your life?
That's pretty much an all day situation though.
One guy from politics and another famous guy over here
got slain for their opinion most didn't share.
Also, I never said 'I' used cheats with Halo 2.
And the only spoiler I gave was not that shocking as you
find out in what, level 2?
