if it does come to pc then i hope it doesn't suck like halo 1 for pc. I run ut2k4 in nearly max everything settings with great framerate, but halo was choppy as hell and never seemed to work well even with min settings

Hey, does anyone have info on the original halo before it came to Xbox? It was planned for the PC initially, and I've heard the game concept was changed along with it. Any old links with this info?
Do they remember to up the difficulty when a 1st person shooter makes it to the PC?
I've tried Halo 2 and compared to a PC-game the action is slow as hell. Compare moving and aiming with mouse+keyboard with the x-box controller.

I could have swore I heard Halo 2 would NEVER be coming to PC.
Why the hell did you email Bungie about the PC version?

Considering that Halo 2 is the only thing that sold xboxes (and will continue to sell them) for the past 6 months tells me that MS wouldn't make it unexclusive for any reason at all. Besides, halo 1 was already years into development for the PC before MS ate Bungie up and made them switch development to xbox. They'd have to start entirely anew with Halo 2.

Yup, is their cash cow and safety net.
I don't think xbox would be having anything remotely close to the sales activity they have, if they released it on pc as well.

I'd degress. You reduce the X-Box to a laughable piece of crap unless it has Halo 2, which is not true.

If you really want to know if Halo 2 will go to PC why don't you go to bungie.net and ask on their forums... A moderator will tell you

Now, I might be wrong here, but wasn't Halo originally going to be only for the Mac?
Yes and no. It was going to be a Mac game, with a PS2 port to be done later on, and a PC port if it did well enough. Yes, that's right, Halo was going to be on PS2, and probably would have run just fine. But basically, yes, it was going to be primarily a mac game.
Microsoft bought bungie for $70 million, and had them switch to Xbox. Bungie, being loyal to their customers, made sure Halo would eventually make it to Mac and PC as originally promised. (This didn't stop many mac fanboys from calling "sellout!")
Halo 2 was designed from the ground up for the Xbox (or prehaps the Xbox 2*), so releasing it to other platforms would be much more difficult. There were no promises to release it, nor much development work going into it. It's not impossible, but don't count on it. Your best bet is to wait seven or eight years till you can download the iso and emulate an Xbox on your XCubeStation.
Word is that Halo 2 was designed for Xbox 2 and toned down for the Xbox, so that the Xbox2 will have a launch title (and an ending to the Halo series.)

I don't know where you got that PS2 bullshit, because Halo was announced at MacWorld as a Mac and PC title. Then Microsoft acquired Bungie for an undisclosed amount of money, and they switched it to XBOX.
They were working on Halo 2, so Gearbox got permission for the Mac/PC port, and it turned out like crap.

For all you people with Rumors... You guys suck! Word of Halo 2 on PC is a negative as of now... Why don't you try the actual Bungie Forums on their official website... The moderators will set you straight...

Lol FPS drama.
Hey. There are about 23841734812734813 gazillion boring Quake clones with gory monsters and dark alleys in a chaotic future released every year for PC. Why bothering about another one?
I agree that Halo one of the best FPSes and one of the few ones worth playing, but man, every time somebody masturbates, some company makes yet another dark Quake clone.
It's actually on the history section of Bungie's website. Yes, it was announced as a mac game, but PC and PS2 ports were viable options. It's funny to hear how Xbox fanboys claim PS2 couldn't ever handle Halo.
And it was $70 million for Bungie.
