I'd rather play it on XBOX, and I'm a diehard PC FPS player. The PC port runs surprisingly crappy on some machines. The mouse and keyboard doesn't really add to much on the PC. Multiplayer was fun over the Internet with it though. Multiplayer is where I think the Halo series really shines. I was never taken with the single player for various reasons but goddamn it's fun when playing with friends. Yes, I don't hate Halo anymore.

While I prefer it on PC because of the more content of avaliablity and, whoo - ONLINE PLAY, the Xbox version is better overall. But lacks the fundementals that would make it great. PC version has alot of issues they needed to address, but you can tell they just gave up half way.

Elazul Yagami Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 and is it worth getting *coughdownloadcough*, and does it have lan play?
Gryph Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Well if it's free then no harm in trying it. And yes, it has LAN play. One of the biggest problems with Halo PC is that it lacks co-op.
Elazul Yagami Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 hell, the coolest thing about the xbox version was the co op play. what kind of system is needed to run it?

Which is why there was a few patches. IMO it's worth the try. The MP is certainly very fun, I still play it every now and then. Theres also a few mods coming out for it, like Zelda Halo, which is a total conversion of Zelda OoT too Halo. Which can be seen here: http://www.projectzeldaonline.com/ Done some very excellent work.
