Likewise. Halo 2 looks very promising (despite the fact there are one or two games i'd like more, and despite the fact that I prefer to take it as a totally different game rather than a sequel to a good but overrated one). Since i'm not likely to buy an X-Box just to play this one game, I guess I'll be hoping that X-Box emulation moves very quickly in the next 6 months ^_^

Running on a 56k, I can't check these out, but I dug out last years running demo the other day and I still can't believe how good the game looks. I really am looking forward to this, moreso than any other XBox game anyway. No doubt there'll be a PC version released at some point during 2005, but it's more of a console FPS to me, so I'm buying it for XBox. What's the special edition anyway?

that is so true! I played the PC version and it just seemed so unsuited to the PC. I think its down to the control method, because the PC version feels like you move far too slow, and the level design has to take into account that its slower to move your view vertically than a mouse, which meant less vertical axis fighting and flatter levels. The result for me, was that after playing what was a pretty mediocre PC game in terms of gameplay (talking about multiplayer here), the XBox version seemed many times more fun when I got to play that. Though it did have the unfair advantage of being played on a day by school friends who don't usually hang out and on a snow day as well ^_^.

As for a PC version of Halo 2... I'm not going to hold my breath. The PC version will net them enough money, and go beyond breaking even (just like Halo 1 PC did), but the PC version of Halo 1 seemed more like a grudging favour to PC gamers who got excited about the game at E3s of 3 or so years ago only to be told that it was XBox exclusive. Besides, Bungie were and always will be Mac fanatics

With my tight budget in mind, I think I can wait a little bit longer for another XBox price break to buy Halo 2 and other xb games.
