HALO 2 coming to PC ?

Bungie has updated the jobs section on its website revealing that it is currently looking for several people to fill jobs geared towards PC applications. Bungie is currently looking for Graphics, Audio, Network and Game Programmers, all PC related. Knowledge of DirectX9, Xbox SDK, and compatibility issues are required, and it further states "Want to work on the biggest franchises for Microsoft Game Studios?" Ok, it's a little bit far fetched, but who knows.

If they do it, I hope for their sake it's better than the Halo 1 port. The Halo 1 port was probably the biggest piece of FPS trash that has ever graced the PC. Well, okay, maybe not quite that bad. Having never played Halo on the Xbox, only a trashy PC port, I never understood the attraction to the game. Hope they do a better job this time around.
 
Change your title to "HALO 2 coming to PC?"

That question mark is quite important.
 
Who really gives a crap?
Why would we want to play some crappy port of an already crappy game?

But I'll play along.
*jumps on HALO ROX!!1 bandwagon*
HALO HALO WE ALL LOVE THE HALO!!!
*worships bungie*
 
First of all, how can anyone be excited about a crummy xbox port of a title that is over a year old already and will be SO dated by the time it releases? PC titles have been much better than this even before it hit shelves originally. Oh well.

Second, who knows what it is really....it does say 'franchises' so its most likely general porting and not just a one game project.

Maybe its a Jade Empire port--now that would be exciting (especially if they fix the few flaws :)).

Because we can download it illegally and make the message clear that it indeed does suck. \0/
 
Poo to you guys :p

Halo 2 is more fun in co-op than any pc fps i've played in years.

Will the pc version be getting co-op? It was a shame the first didn't.

:O Co-op?
Well, blasting dumb A.I. is always more fun with friends :P
 
Halo 2 is not that bad from what I've played, but then I've only played the first couple of levels and the brilliant multiplayer.

Ftw.

Didn't get the chance to play the entire game, just a few sp levels and the 'brilliant' multiplayer (yey, map clip abusers ftw :|). Oh, and you can't ignore the fact the when you kill a person, they often go "WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" over the mic.
 
I played Halo 2 over a friend's house not too long ago for the first time. We played Deathmatch on some beach map with a big ferris wheel-like thing. It was very fun to be quite honest. The vehicles were cool and dual wielding was a blast. The only thing I couldn't get used to was the controls since I'm so used to mouse and keyboard. So this port should be worthy of my time and money. Really cannot wait.

oh btw i owned him first round on my first run
 
the only reason to play Halo2 is co-op (mp if you have xbox live) ..to be honest the sp story was rather boring and tedious to play through
 
Meh, another average bungie game. The plots pretty good, or at least I enjoyed it. Still, they kept the dull level design and boring level objectives which tend to bog the game down.

Some fun levels mind.
 
I hate Halo 2 because of the balancing is done so 90% of what matters is what gun you have or where you happened to spawn. I miss Halo 1 where it was based on skill and not completely noobified for mainstream gaming.
 
The Halo series was originaly supposed to be for PC... still MS got their hands on Bungie...

Anyway, I knew this would eventually make it's way to PC... but only after so long that no one really cares.

Oh, and I bet anyone that if the Halo series had stuck to being on PC originally, not nearly as many PC gamers would be hating on it.
;)
 
The first one was much better, and the pc version was horrible. Horrible quality and mouse control made it way to easy. I don't get why you guys hate it so much though. I think your right white zero, if it had came out on pc it probably have been considered great by more pc gamers.


Also, I heard a rumor earlier today halo 3 is done. Maybe they are going to skip 2 and port 3.
 
heh it was supposed to be a mac exclusive till microsoft got their grimey little hands on it

Ahhh! Right, right. But it would have made it's way to PC much faster had it been on Mac first, IMO.

But the game wasn't shit. It was pretty good - just not the game it was hyped to be. By no measure of the human imagination was Halo 2 'shit'. Big Rigs is shit. Halo 2 isn't. If you think it's average, fine. But it doesn't fail as an FPS.

There is no 'bandwagon'; as a HL2 website the bandwagon was running the other way mate

ya, but the final product and what they wee making when it was on macs was completely different game ...look up Marathon, it'll give you an indication what it was meant to be like ..Halo and Halo 2 even borrowed some of it's ideas from their masterpiece

there's even a video somewhere when it was first annouced on the mac years ago ..havent seen it in years
 
I liked the first Halo. I bought Halo 2 for a friend (console) to see what it was like. I'm looking forward to a PC port, and then I'll decide if I like it or not.

Oh yea, I remember watching that video tons of times.
 
the mac version? it was pretty much just a warthog on an open field
 
Personally I thought Halo 1 SP sucked, I mean playing the exact same rooms / tiles over and over again just pissed me off. I don't care if it's co-op or not, that was utterly horrible. There wasn't anything original about the game either, it was just a generic FPS that was actually halfway decent for a console (I'd say poor on PC) and people loved it.

I mean just compare Halo 1 / 2 to HL2, NOLF 1/2, RTCW:ET, BF2 etc and you'd see just how overhyped that game is.

Somehow I'd figure MS would probably cut out co-op or some other feature to promote people to buy the Xbox version, regardless it's not a game I'm looking forward to...
 
Well at least they're actually hiring people who know how to develope for the PC this time, unlike the first Halo port... :x

Anyway if Halo 2 really does come to the PC, I'll probably be getting it for the multiplayer (which is pretty fun). The singleplayer makes me feel nausiated. D :
 
Never played Halo 2 sp, but I play mp online with my hallmates all the damn time. It is a really quite fun game.

I heard that the Halo 1 port to computer was shitty...

They once copied the EXACT SAME ROOM THREE TIMES. That's ****ing shitty.
 
I doubt many people would be interested in this. Unless THIS is supposed to be the replacement "run smack into Halo 3" plan MS has for the PS3. In which case wouldn't be beans.

same happened to me

in the first levels especially in the city I was like "wow looks like this game deserve the hype after all"
but when I reach the rest of the game it was meh and boring
bungie should hav been focused on the earth,it was more cool that the "coincidentially finded other halo planet"
 
I'll wait til Halo 3, when the fighting is actually supposed to be on Earth, like what was promised for Halo 2 but not delivered.

Honestly the whole "finding another Halo" thing was a load of bullshit and merely proved to me that they didn't really know what to do with a kickass idea.
 
Marathon is a hundred thousand million hundred times better and complex than Halo, and its over a decade old. Tru Fax.

I got HALO PC around the time Red vs Blue was just starting to suck, which was near the beginning of the second season. I used to think the game was pretty good, but when I bought Half Life Platinum that summer, I realized how bad the game really was.

No shit. Could they have copped out any more on the plot? Hmm...what to do on Earth besides have the best level of the game? Well we could chase some ship to another Halo! GREAT IDEA. Halo 3 had better be on Earth and they had better bring the skill back into the game.
 
Great, can't wait for another shitty port. I own Halo 1 for pc and it just blows, if they do the same thing I will piss myself. Halo 1 port to pc was horrible.
 
hehee, i remember playing the buggy Halo 1 PC beta.
Alot of walls were invisible.
:D
