Halo was a poor port that was released years later and it still got good reviews.

next.

83 on metacritic are not good reviews.

 

And it wasn't really a poor port.  The game played perfectly fine, graphics were improved, controls were improved (for PC players), and it had online multiplayer.  In almost every measurable sense, the PC version is superior to the console version. 

So either the game aged horribly over those 2 years, or it wasn't that good to begin with.

 

Anyway, that's Halo for you.  But this thread was more about MW2 and how console development is actually hurting the PC community now.

Nope you're wrong.

83 is good.

A 75 is already good, so the PC version of Halo is actually closer to awesome.

 

The port wasn't as bad as the port from the 2nd game, but far from perfect.

The graphical updates were minor, but the high hardware requirements made it worse.

Nothing regarding the controls were improved.

You can also enjoy 16 player multiplayer on the Xbox, but the 4-player splitscreen and especially the co-op mode (obviously one of the key features) was removed on the PC.
