Well, why not. I'm not an owner, but I do enjoy a game here and there. I have a question. Why did they have to "fix" the warthog jumping glitch? It was effing fun to fly across the map.

The Warthog glitch was just that: a glitch. And glitches were meant to be fixed.

And Walt Disney was meant to eat Cuban children, but that doesn't make it right.

Wait... what?


The Warthog Jump can still be performed in Halo 2, although radically different from its predecessor. I've yet to perfect it, but the basis is still the same - plant a few stickies under the front wheel, get in, and wait to be blown sky-high.


My question: why, why, WHY were the Needlers reduced from a once-great weapon of mass destruction and hilarity, to something of a joke? In Halo, you can quite happily wander around, plug an Elite with a magazine of Needles, and watch it blow up. In Halo 2, even a dual-wield of Needlers will only occasionally give that effect.

You heard me.

Also, the warthog jump I meant was the energy sword uppercut while in a warthog sideseat fly across the map glitch.

I agree with the Needler one, but I'm more dissapointed that the pistol was downgraded.

The pistol was downgraded because, if you really think about it, it's kind of a "n00b-w34p0n" in the sense that even a n00b can kill a seasoned veteran with it. But even so, duel-wielding Magnums is a pretty powerful combo, seeing as it only takes a single clip to drop someone's shields and a few shots to kill.

As for the needler, it's still a Godsend on Legendary. And speaking of the Needler, Bungie is revamping it even more in Halo 3, to the point where (from what I've seen) it doesn't even look like the Needler anymore. In fact, it kinda looks like a Plasma Rifle-Particle Beam hybrid. According to Bungie, "When the needler's on the map, it's the weapon you want to have."

Hey peoples! I just want to know if Halo: Combat Evolved for the PC is good. I have never played a Halo game in my life and would like to. I don't have wither the X-Box or 360 and don't plan on changing that. I would also like to get know because I've seen the super awesome Metroid Prime map for it.

Sorry if this is considered revival. I wouldn't think so due to it being about Halo and I have a Halo question. I didn't see the sense in making a whole other topic.

It's pretty much the same as the Xbox version, but with prettier graphics. Granted, they're not as pretty as Halo 2 or Halo 3, but there is a noticeable improvement over the Xbox, and a slightly higher frame rate. Also, it has online play.

I hear it also had extra weapons, levels and whatnot. True or false?

Also, on the subject, I keep seeing this box of Halo 2 for the PC, but the corner of the box says "Vista Required"...does this mean Halo 2 can't be played on a PC that doesn't have Vista, or is there more than one version?

It has a few new multiplayer levels, such as Timberland. There aren't any new weapons, though some of them have been changed a tad. For example, the Assault Rifle fires faster and the rounds spread more, making it less of an Assault Rifle and more of an SMG.

And in regards to Halo 2 for the PC, it's Vista only as far as I know. You might be able to get it to run on XP if you can find a good Vista emulator, though I'm not 100% sure that a Vista emulator even exists yet.

I heard something about a flamethrower being in the PC version that wasn't in the XBox version.
