Anybody playing Halo PC?

I wish I was. My computer at home is straight duke tho. From what I've been reading, I'm missing some GREAT MP action with more vehicles, maps, etc...

Who can I live vicariously through? Maximus-XBA I'm sure...

lol, dude...I wish I was getting it...my computer is likely not powerful enough to run it. My XBox even has a faster processor than my computer...my computer only has a 600mghz processor and the XBox is over 700. lol I do have the XBox beat on the hard-drive, though

Personally, I'm going to wait for Halo 2 instead of spending a few hundred bucks on this computer for upgrades. It seems more practical since I prefer playing the legendary Halo with my XBox controller and sitting on my couch in front of my 50" HDTV

I heard you'll need a computer that like will run Doom 3/HL 2 to run Halo.

Ditto.

Again, Ditto... except for the 50" part

. I'll have to get a little closer to maximize the 32".

Why? U gonna meet in the Chat Lobby on the box so you can use the headset while you play?

I don't think I will buy this game. It would be awesome, and if I can get it cheap, I probably will. The multiplayer maps and vehicles and stuff are awesome.

I'll probably be like Maximus and just wait for the one game we're all waiting for, Halo 2.

after playing around with it, i have to say i can do so much more with a controller movement wise. Certain movements are harder or near impossible with the keyboard and mouse.

Other than that, its a blast. =)

**wbio** · 09-29-2003

It's pretty fun, I'm just not into pc gaming though, like having my controller, but the extra vehicles are awesome

**Stormlord** · 09-29-2003

I might get it just for multiplay. But I'm pretty sure I won't be able to pull off all the "stunts" I can do very easily with the analog stick. Hell I like messing with the banshee making it spin around looking uncontrollable and just when I'm about to hit the floor I stop several feet from touching the ground.

. I hope I can still do that. But I think I'll sit this one out and just get the new Empires game from Activision. RTSs are my PC vice.

Off topic: Anyone actually interested in Goblin Commander? If it does good I'll pray for a sequal.

To those that get Halo PC, enjoy. Hope to see you on the battlefield some day.

**Lucifer_Hawk** · 09-29-2003

same here, pc gaming is not my style, even though I play ut2003 and war3 the Frozen Throne every day! I much prefer console gaming and I have always beent hat way, so I am just going ot wait for Halo 2. Although, my friend bought Halo for pc, and he said the graphics are really improved, and the multiplayer is good, but I wilol have to see for myself.

**Stormlord** · 09-29-2003

I don't really see any graphical upgrades, atleast from the screens I've seen. Maybe just extra shine-mapping. But maybe I'll have to see it in action to notice.

Well you need to get some glasses becasue this game is awesome running w/ resolutions in the 1200's and up. It is pure magic. If you got the pc to run it i would definetly recommend you try it out.

Like what?

I have it too, its pretty cool, but i need more ram.

And the game looks great at higher resolutions and a super smooth frame rate.

I got a Geforce 4 Ti 4400 and it looks pretty sweet. But like i said before, i need more ram to make the framerate more constant.

So the graphical upgrade is higher res? Then obviously it's not worth it if my Xbox version has the very same graphics. Plus some people have been saying it's just as much as a system hog as Unreal II. I definately will sit this one out. I'll just get an HDTV and view my Xbox version on high res then if they're identical to each other. Only thing is multiplayer. But hey there's still Xboxconnect.

Uhhhh yeah, of course higher resolutions equals better graphics.

WoW halo at a higher resolution on your HDTV. You must have a special xbox copy that supports higher interlace modes made just for you. Good luck with that........
