Every respect other than the 'currently available for PC' one, you mean.

I don't understand why you'd want to play Halo on the PC. It's boring enough on the X-Box. It's only revolutionary because it's the first console FPS that doesn't completely suck. Doesn't really hold a candle to PC FPS games, imo.* refering to Halo 1, never played #2.

Suddar painfully thought these words up:

Halo 2 : Halo :: Super Smash Bros. Melee : Super Smash Bros.
Basically, there's not much of a reason to play Halo, because Halo 2 is basically an updated version.

Primarily because when I see everyone ranting and raving about how great a game it is, I get curious and play it. Then I have lots of fun when fighting the Covenant, and nearly fall asleep in the flood levels. Especially that one with the librarian or whatever it was. The floaty dude. The one that led you through FIFTY FUCKING PASSAGES THAT ARE ALL IDENTICAL.

Maybe you'd have more fun if you weren't binding jump to enter and using ], z, 5, and F3 as your movement keys.
And I still have no fucking clue what you're talking about when you say the flood levels were boring. It leads me to wonder what game you were playing and why it wasn't even remotely like the Halo everybody else played. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 03-02-2005 at 02:37 AM.

It is. For him. 
It wasn't Half-Life 2 great, but it wasn't a waste of time by any stretch of the imagination. The Library stretched a bit, but wasting tons of flood at once made me happy.

Oh, did I mention there's no Library-stule level?
Seriously. Get HALO 2 ASAP.
It's not something people hear about.

ACES! Another post by Blindy.:
Halo was revolutionary because it introduced dumb frat guys to the concept of a Lan Party, and they were hooked.
And thus, Spike TV and MTV became even larger beasts.
Maybe geeks and nerds should find some way to dominate sports, thereby completely turning the tables. Sean fucked around with this message on 03-02-2005 at 10:49 AM.

But on topic: Halo 2 single player is much bettter than Halo single player except the ending. Levels were far more varried, you get enemies smashing through walls and throwing boxes around and stuff. Most of the new weapons are spiffy.

I suppose it could be due to the fact that dpads/analog sticks are really subpar for control compared to a mouse, maybe if I tried the PC version I'd like it more.

Naj had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
I never saw the appeal to Halo myself, I tried to get into it so many times as my brother is a big Halo fan but I just found it really "meh" compared to other FPS games like Quake 3 Arena/Planetside/Enemy Territory/Counterstrike etc.I suppose it could be due to the fact that dpads/analog sticks are really subpar for control compared to a mouse, maybe if I tried the PC version I'd like it more.
I played the PC version, FPS's seem a lot better with a mouse. While I like online games like Planetside/ET/CS/etcm they tend to get boring after a while. Halo's single player campaign had an engrossing story that kept it interesting, Unreal 2004 didn't have much of a plot, just a series of matches to play through.
Halo 2 improves on Halo in multiplayer with Live support, in graphics (if you ignore the somewhat cheesy detail levels and gloss maps), and in extra content. However, I think from an artistic standpoint, the first Halo was probably better. The music was far more original and had a distinct theme, 2D art was well done, and the plot was fairly concentrated. The music in Halo 2 is just dumb teenage rock bands, with grievous gloss maps, and a terrible ending. Of course, Halo 3 will probably pick up on Xbox 2 to compete with Playstation 3.
Proper nouns!

The Library level fucking sucked. Shooting Flood for hours and hours in the same goddamn room repainted 50 times worked in Serious Sam, it did not work in Halo.
Then came the Flood.
