BTW, for you halo fans, there is nothing more hilarious than red vs. blue. If you haven't seen it, go to the link below and download them IN ORDER.

It's actually not that great. Unreal Tournament and some of the newer FPS just have superior gameplay/graphics due to enhanced graphics engines.

This game was originally supposed to come out for PC, until Microsoft bought out Bungee and made it X-Box only. This would have been a great online game like Tribes with 64 player battles. Pity.

correction:

It was originally supposed to come out for the Mac, then PC, then consoles also. M$ wasn't dumb for doing this, they asked straight up, who has the next best game hands down coming out. When they got there answer, Bungie was approached immediately.

I suppose, but us PC gamers got screwed in the process. I've always enjoyed FPS games on the PC more than consoles due to better graphics and better aiming control with a mouse. Aiming with an X-box controller is somewhat annoying. The best part about PC games is internet gaming, which would have been great for Halo. Tribes 2 players know what I'm talking about - a 32-64 player team game is great, as the side that uses teamwork will always win.

although available on games like RtCW on Xbox life, i will agree with you that MP implementation is better on the PC. Mouse/Keyboard vs. console, yeah there are some arguments to me made and i agreed with all of them until i played thru Halo w/the xbox controller.

One of the big reasons i prefer my xbox of my pc's or mac's is because i sit at my desk all day long. Its a relaxing getaway to sit on the couch and play.
