With Halo 3 out soon for the consoles, this is way too little to late from Microsoft. The graphics and gameplay are average at best : for console owners it might be good, but PC owners can do so much better. Play UT and Battlefield for online, and the likes of Far Cry / Half Life 2 etc for solo play.
And making it Vista only is a complete insult; it doesn't use DX10 or anything else Vista specific.
Finally the price is about twice what they should be trying to get away with.
Avoid...
If you know how to use Google you will find there is a patch which allows you to play this on XP.
Happy fragging!
More polished than the original story, the plotline makes sense - unlike a lot of games. The graphics have been slightly improved, and if you only have a PC, it's certainly cheaper to get this and a Windows controller than fork out for an Xbox. Changes include the ability to wield two weapons simultaneously, new enemies, vehicles and weapons. If you've ever enjoyed Halo on the Xbox, you won't be disappointed by this conversion.
has Microsoft give up this game is like a Ps1 Game, didn't see S.T.A.L.K.E.R coming, Obviously Didn't Graphics only slightly better than Halo 1 could play on win 98, Xp would be great but only on Vista, This is a joke to the Adult PC gamer. if you like Mickey mouse or xbox 360 Buy, But as for PC AVOID wait for crysis or stick with battlefied 2 or 2142 this games only 2 year behind. by the time Halo 3 comes to pc start playing Pac-man now.
I'm sick of all the people giving this game a bad review just becuase their PCs are too bad to run it. Check the specs and compare it with your computer before you buy it, I can run it on max graphics at about 60fps constant.
Onto the actual game, it's pretty much exactly the same as the Xbox version except with better graphics. Good for the online Deathmatch fan but I wouldn't reccomend it for the story or anything like that.
