This, however, IS worth getting an X-box for.

What little I played of it at my friends house, I didn't think it was TOO bad... but it's dumb how it's only two players when it could so easily be a 4 player game and it's annoying trying to bribe women into being on your team... it's repitive too. But I like the girls so... meh...

You get new levels and new weapons that you don't have in X-Box. You can use that plasma cannon the Hunters use. It's easier to network play since you don't need to pay for the X-Box live service. It's more fun too since you don't share a screen with the other player. The computer version is preffered by my friends.

first off, u cant use xbox live with halo, u have to use gamespy tunnel, which is tricking your xbox into thinking its on a lan and playing it over the internet.

also, the computer version requires a choice piece of hardware, which many people do not have, the xbox comes fully equipped to run it perfectly. plus i prefer the xbox controller for halo, although most fps games i prefer the mouse and keyboard.

Lets put it this way, to get the equivilant graphical quality from the PC version that you get from the XBox, you'll need a direct x 9 video card like the 9600 pro or the 5600 ultra. 8 times the memory, and 3 times the CPU power.

And no, I am not pulling random numbers out of a hat. I happen to have played both. and am basing this opinion on how the PC version played on my computer. (And I know the hardware of my PC inside and out.)
