Which version of Halo do you like better? I have both versions, and i think that i would have to go with Halo PC because it has more maps, weapons, and the fact that it actually comees with Multiplayer.

What do you think?

I choose Halo Xbox- It just feels better. Xbox Halo does come with multiplayer if you use something such as XBC.

I like halo for xbox just because I get much better graphics on it. And I like playing on xbc, much less n00bs that I can find.

I choose HaloPC.

No Noobs Screaming.
No Registering problems for overpriced registrations.
No controller confusion.
No butt cramps.

Most importantly, no channel changing for better video and reception and then clicking a button to edit the volume when you can just move and turn a knob when the area is clear.

Xbox Advantages:

GFX Card is Good Quality.
Not much lagg.
No sweaty computer seats.
No mouse to worry about coming off table.
No windows key to worry about when crouching. Solution: Take It Off Keyboard.

I prefer PC. Easier to mod and with my card the graphics are as good as they can possibly ever get.

But, most importantly, I can't get the hang of dual joy sticks for FPS's. Something slow like Morrowind is easy enough, but fast paced like Halo and I just suck super monkey balls. Mouse and keyboard for me.

As for the windows key, I set my crouch to shift instead of control. Easier to reach.

As for the graphics- The xbox ones are more polished. Running Halo PC in 1600x1200 still didn't look as crisp :(

Okay to solve this graphics argument...

Some PC's will have better graphics than others. This is because some people have better pc's than others. Now a good demonstration of the graphics being better aka "crisper" start a multiplayer game on sidewinder on the xbox and on the pc. Get in the tank and have some one try to snipe you on both.

You can actually see snipers while in the tank from long distances (across the map) on the pc.

If you get in the tank on this map playing on xbox, you are almost certanialy dead :( because you can not see the sniper or see them well enough to shoot them with the tank.

Xbox halo is fun to play, but I prefer the pc version... Now another arguement Halo 1 vs 2.. Halo 1 is much better IMO..
:D

Halo for Xbox is better in a lot of ways but Halo PC is better in Online play.
