well just to piss you off, f'k halo PC. Unreal Trounament here thanks.

To me halo is what I play on XBOX. I would say the only main reason halo PC is up there is because the xbox online service will die off (well here it will end soon). So people switched to PC. I myself ain't that crazy about halo that I need to play it everyday, so I will stick to games like Unreal Tournament, Tribes for PC.


But each to their own taste I guess. What I am trying to say is I am sick of all these Halo threads. Yes it is a good game get over it. No need to keep convincing people. THey already mind up their minds years ago if they love it or hate it.

 well ya, XBL will die as more gamers realize how badly they are getting ripped off. Steam = XBL times 1000 and free. There is a reason why Live PC aks Windows Live is a failure.

As has already been pointed out nielson ratings are unscientific at best. Past that, what is the problem you people have with PC gamers not finding Halo to be their favorite FPS series?

As I said, Halo is A VERY GOOD CONSOLE FPS GAME. The problem is that you guys can't seem to understand that comparing FPSes on consoles to PCs is like comparing FPSes on PCs to the PSP or DS. It's a completely different experience, and something that is good on a console can be mediocre on a PC. That's all there is to it.

Halo 3 should absolutely be recognized as one of the best console FPSes on the market, but there is nothing new there for PC gamers who have better gameplay and better online systems for lower prices. End of story.

Also, the PC versions of Halo and Halo 2 weren't developed by Bungie. So, using their low scores as justification to Halo's averageness compared to other PC FPSs is invalid.

They are direct ports with extra content...  Halo PC actually added content that Xbox owners didn't see until Halo 2.  They are the exact same games other than better framerates and more content in the PC versions.  So, your complaint is invalid.  

 not true, they were perfect ports of the games. Little to no differencfe. Actually Halo 2 on a DX10 PC looks 100% better the it does on the Xbox. Problem is, its a ripoff of Half-Life.

However, if the PC versions of Halo and Halo 2 was developed by Bungie, they would've added even more content and whatnot PC gamers would appreciate.

Video comparison of Halo 2 on PC vs Xbox.  The difference is huge:  

It's better in every way.  Again, the PC versions are the best versions of these games, but they simply do not compare favorably to pre-existing PC shooters.  At all. 

My argument isn't on the visuals of the ports, just the overrall addition of content that's regular for PC gamers, such as mods. Halo 2 on the PC is basically the Xbox version with better looking graphics. If the game was developed by Bungie, who's to say they wouldn't have done that and some more?

 Which is why they are average compared to most PC FPS, because they lack that extra content?
