sweet! The more the better! ;)
 
I wasn't impressed by the first one (when it finally came to PC) so I really don't plan on getting the second one.
 
Brother in Law got me an X-box for the wedding. But playing Halo with a controller is very frustrating for me. I just don't have time to learn to move those two little joysticks around when there are so many good PC FPS games around. :(
 
Is Halo 2 X-Box only?
Just YES or NO please. No extravegent essay as to why I should have already known this.

as of now, yes it is exclusive to the Xbox. It may change later on and be released on PC.
 
Even if it's released on PC, it won't be worth it. It'll be years, and by that time something better will have come out. It's unfortunate for Halo that PC gamers just got to experience it this year, for they're comparing it to stuff that just came out when it really wasn't changed that much from the 2001 version.

Regardless, I've got my LE preordered. Now I just need an Xbox that works correctly (Fucking Thompson drives...)

And this is the stuff that causes bad PR if the keep it X-Box only. Think about this scenario

Ok, they have no intention to release it on PC. Well, the PC community hates that decission (the bad PR). In response PC gamers work to find ways around that decission by making emulators and finding a way to make them readable on standard CD-ROM drives or extract an image of the X-box Halo 2 CD. Thus making it playable on the PC. As a result, MS has indirectly promoted the piracey of their own game. Piracey in general is innevitable, but such a decission would only make the rate of piracey higher.

Failure to answer consumer demands has its consequences

Do you think that will happen? Is it possible?
 
I found the first one no where near what I had heard of it (XBOX and PC) and I don't plan on getting the 2nd one. Hell, I don't even have an XBOX.
 
No way I'm buying a shit-box for that game, no matter how good it is.

Its innevitable. Every game console has eventually been emulated on the PC. Then those consoles die out and the PC preserves their legacy. X-box, PS2 and Gamecube will be no different. Its never a matter of if, but when.
 
A lot of emulators have problems running the *last* generation of games (N64, PSX). They've *just* got a decent emulator running for the Dreamcast (Chankast). What makes you think that an emulator that can run Halo 2 at full speed will come out any time soon?

:eek: Me too. Only reason I am still holding on the the EB pre-order just in case the MTV one is too good to be true. ;)
 
Your poll is missing a much needed option:

"Yes, but I'm going to wait until 2012 when they finally release the PC version."

Better late than never I guess. I love Halo PC, even though I've been playing multi on my friend's XBOX for the past couple of years.
 
I watched the multiplayer video they had of it. Well I watched about 5 minutes and at that point was very unimpressed and deleted the video. So even if I owned an Xbox, I wouldn't get it.

I'll have this shit all up in my xbox --


"Hey Xbox, you got some Master Chief in you? Want some?"

So you're basing it off an old E3 MP demo...nice :rolleyes:
 
Consider the source, circuit...these are biased PC elitists who would rather have a shiny coat of paint on their car instead of a good engine under the hood. Doom 3, anyone?
 
I didn't like Halo, and Halo 2 doesn't look any different.

So HELL NO... FPSers don't even belong on consoles.

I suppose so. All I'm saying is that it did not catch my interest. So I guess unless it is a completely different game than what was shown in that video, I'm just not interested. Old E3 video or not. Then again I don't own an Xbox but if I did I probably still wouldn't buy it, mainly because there are more FPS games that interest me for the PC anyway. That is just how I feel.
 
I'll probably hit up EZ Pawn for an Xbox just to get Halo 2. I couldn't finish the single player for the Original on PC due to the fact Bungie got lazy late in the level design (or ran outta room on the DVD) and made you backtrack back through the previous 2 levels and the Truth And Reconcilliation level (watched my friend Travis play it). It woulda been fun to do if they had left the co-op in but Gearbox were douchebags and cut it from the PC Version.

Gearbox Software = WORST PORT DEVELOPER EVERRR!
 
Of course. Everyone with an Xbox will be getting it. I have had it preordred for a long time.
