Halo 2 demo

I'm sure Bungie is getting flogged by emails requesting this, but wouldn't it be cool if they could release a playable Halo 2 demo? Upon reading the February 2004 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, I learned that one of their employees, Frank O'Connor, now works at Bungie Studios. (lucky bastard!) So I was thinking that maybe they could put a playable Halo 2 demo (perhaps of the E3 demo video?) on one of the upcoming disks. I'm sure the people at Bungie read this, so perhaps if there is a huge demand for a playable demo, they might release one. Please share your thoughts on this, and let your voice be heard!

Halo 2 Demo

I think it would be nice for Bungie to make a H2 demo disc as long as it doesn't take away from time that could be spent to get the game finished. It would be nice though seeing as how we've been waiting a long time. Although if I could just see some new footage of Halo 2 I'd be happy enough.

Xbox, PC Halo demos

Well, the original Halo disk for the Xbox was used as a vehicle for OTHER games' demos. I think MS is probably going to be fairly confident in a good audience for Halo 2; they may not be worried about trying to hook people with demos.

The demo for PC Halo was done after the game; I suspect if there would be a Halo 2 demo, it'll be after the game's release.

I don't even think the novels are exact about the latter. As for the former, the Halo Story Page might help:

Halo 2 Demo Already Out

I can't believe everyone's missed the Halo 2 demo. So many others (by the millions) are playing it everyday, on the XBOX or the PC. I already have enough info about how Halo 2 will feel, only better, cause I've played the "DEMO" called Halo or Halo PC....

Halo 2 demo

I am not a Bungie employee and I don't know "Rampant AI". I can say thought that I agree with him. I think that Bungie is doing a great job and all, thought they should keep in mind that while they have been making the game perfect for us we have been waiting like crazy to see what it might be like to play the game I am going to agree with Rampant AI on this one. This is "Geo_Sync" signing out. See yah!

THEY SHOULD!!!!!

That would be AWSOME and atleast people could play the demo to hold them of for the real game! I have been waiting sence they first made the anouncementat I think it was 2002. And man I can't stand it! but... hey I know that it will be... 3 words... BEST-GAME-EVER!!!!!!!!!

So If they did... (AND THEY SHOULD!!!!) it would be the smartest move they could make to hold people of till it releases in the fall...

No Delay

Halo 2 has not been delayed. They never announced a release date. First they said "2004" and then they said "Fall 2004". That is not a delay. Please check the FAQ before posting about release dates and delays.

People who said Halo was going to come out in January 2003 were on crack and making it up.

Doubtful

Bungie's never really done demo or tech demo release stuff of games way before release, the way, say, Id software has historically done with the Quake games. I wouldn't expect to see a Halo 2 demo (if there ever is one) until after the game is finished... so you'll probably be waiting just as long...

halo 2 should spartans other than mc himself

well i was watchin the e3 demo and everything and i think bungie might have slipped. when the player walks up to the guy who is on the radio he says something like "i knew we called for back up i didnt know they would send a spartan". If you notice he refered to mc as a spartan, and in normal speech if there is one of something you would refer to it as its proper name which in his case is mc. but instead he calls mc a spartan like he knows of others. im just saying also, they really shouldnt know that mc is still alive since he kinda just arrives back at earth.... so to the radioman hes just another spartan.. its super late so if this doesnt make much sense ill make it clearer later it later..

Anonymous's picture

Other Spartans

YA, I think there sould be other spartans like MC. One reason is
when you get to the end of a level almost all of your backup is
fried. I think that if other dudes have armor like you, you'll
still have dudes at the end of a level.

Halo 2 Demo

To be perfectly honest, I would just wait. I would rather see footage or pictures of the actual game, but if they actually do make a demo, it takes time away from the release date. Right now, from what I've read from weekly updates, this is the "Ballistic" period and they be working long hours. So I'd rather have Halo 2 show itself as a whole, than to show itself as a peice of what it can really do.

Well said

I totally agree. I would rather see the all powerful Halo 2 as a whole then in fragment form. Some new screen shots and weapon/ vehicle updates wouldn't hurt though.

i personally dont think that there should be a H2 demo.I would rather have all the excitement and anticipation build up in me so that the day H2 actually hits stores i will be more excited then ever.and i do agree with the others, taking time away from the game will delay the release date and most likely make the game a poorer quality.Now if they make a poor quality demo then i know most people will be disappointed and pass judgement that H2 will suck.Now thats just me

Wanted9867's picture

A demo would be a crappy idea..

EVERY highly anticipated game (( or at least in my eyes )) that has had a demo... has been partially ruined in my eyes. I've been waiting since November of 2001 for Halo 2 to come out, if they spoil it with a demo than I'm going to be highly disappointed. When you get a demo you usually find out every little goodie that they have on there within the first week of you having it, I'd rather wait for the freakin' real game to come out before I spoil the whole thing with a demo. And I'm positive they won't release a demo, because if they were planning on it than they would've a long time ago the first time they delayed it to hold us back, they will not release one because of popular demand.

NO DEMO

Reality Check

1. Bungie never announced a release date prior to this one, so Halo 2 hasn't been delayed. Last spring they said "not til 2004" and now they've made it more specific, "Fall 2004". That is not a delay unless you've been listening to unfounded rumors, or worse, retail outlets.

2. Bungie has never announced or even mentioned a Halo 2 playable demo, so there's no reason to believe that the delay (which does not exist) is caused by a playable demo (that does not exist).

Yeah, Frankie does the Halo 2 Weekly Updates for them, like Matt Soell did the ones for the first game.

I have a feeling that any time spend preparing a playable Halo 2 demo for another Xbox disc would just detract from getting Halo 2 done. And it's not as if they need a demo like that to sell the game-- it's going to fly off the shelves all by itself.

why they havn't released Halo 2 or a demo yet!

To sorta cool all of us Halo fans out there i will inform, no tell u why they have not released the Halo 2 game or dmo out yet. It is simple. As is every other big buisness or any buisness they r trying to make as much money as they possibly can. Right now they r trying to make money on Halo for PC and Mac. They know they will make a fortune on Halo 2 and they know everyone will buy it so they r trying to sell as many Halo for PCand Mac as they can. And once sales start to fall in the PC and Mac versions of Halo they will release Halo 2 or the demo for Halo 2 then the game. They r done with Halo 2 and if anything they r making the demo as u read this. And alos as u read this they r mass producing Halo 2 games and storing them that way they will be ready to be shipped in the billions or trillions or whatever the amount is becasue already their are millions of reservations for Halo 2 (so if i was u go to a place that is reserving Halo 2 before they stop. i know ill be one of the 1st million people to get Halo 2. places that would be reserving Halo 2 would be places like GameStop, FuncoLand, or any small (size meaning) video game store to reserve yours now).

Conspiracy Theorists

For those who just have to see conspiracy in everything, sure, look at it that way if you like. Myself, I find nothing unbelievable about the game taking this long to make.

Worst case scenario, if this was true, it still makes no sense, as a Halo 2 demo would most likely NOT impact PC Halo sales. Secondly, as PC and Mac Halo involve parties other than Bungie/Microsoft, I'll wager their cut of each sale on that is less than on Xbox Halo or Xbox Halo 2, so there'd be little incentive.

If anything, I'm sure MS wanted it out earlier to help sell more Xboxes and so that Bungie will be ready to do an Xbox 2 launch title.

Well, there was no playable Halo demo for a very simple reason-- as Halo was a launch title, there were no Xboxes to play a demo version on prior to the full game's release. And after the full game was released, it was clearly the #1 seller on the Xbox, so there was no need to release a demo to improve sales.

Theoretically Halo 2 could have a playable demo, as there are Xboxes out there and other games being released that could have a Halo 2 demo on its disc. However, I suspect MS feels the game will sell well enough without a demo, and therefore there's no reason to burden Bungie with preparing one.

ilovebees theory

I think that the Ilovebees mystery works on 2 levels. The first and most obvious to me is the marketing angle. Right now the internet is on fire with speculation about what it could be. Here's mine.
Marketing:

What do bees do? They generate buzz. Buzz being slang for interest in the marketing world. The Ilovebees site has generated HUGE buzz in only a few days.

What else do bees do? They make honey. Or in this case MONEY. We all know M$ is all about that.

Microsoft knows that Halo contributed more to the success of the xbox than any other game. They know that Halo was the reason why people went out and bought an xbox. Halo 2 is set to become THE killer app not only for the xbox but for XBOX LIVE. People that don't already have an xbox live account or an xbox will get one just to experience Halo 2. $$$$

The buzz is already at a fever pitch for the game. How do you make it bigger? I don't know about you but I'm all movied and screenshotted out. I'm ready to play just like those lucky bastards at E3. IF, a really big if, they realeased a demo. A single player one with no access to live play. Do think BUZZ for the game would go up or down. Most certainly up in my opinion. The first hit is always free right. After that you'll have to pay to play so to speak. People would see first hand how great the game is and specualte even more about how awesome multiplayer is.

A few of the gaming mags are in on it too. They all point to something huge coming up soon in the industry.

This brings me to the next important part of the marketing angle. The clock on the website is counting down to Aug 24, 2004. Bungie wouldn't go thru all this just to release another movie or screen shot. Not the Halo bible either, that would give to much of the story away. No they want to give people a small taste not the whole thing.

Countdown timer text:
HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE(nothing)

Control has been yielded to the
SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX.(first letter of each word SPDR)

This medium is classified, and has a
STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION. (If this is a demo it will spread like a virus)

In 3 days, network throttling will erode.(speed will increase, not slow down)

In 17 days this medium will metastasize.( there will be another site like this in 17days)

COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:(playable version of game)
30:12:32:23:040

Make your decisions accordingly.(go to work/school or play Halo2)

Someone pointed out that someone from a game mag said to focus on SPDR. SPDR does figure prominetly in the blog by Dana(bungie princess?). SPDR=Single Player Demo Release.

ilovebeestheory pt 2

Ok heres the second part. Specifically the part that deals with the AI.

Source: Captured human AI. Human interface is female, it refers to itself in the feminine.

The AI makes refrence to here ship and crew: Length: 120m
Crew: 40
Cover: Pleasure Craft
In the novel Fall of Reach the MC and 2 other Spartan's had to board the Circumfrence to destroy a navigational database. The Circumfrence, Lark, and Applebee were all ONI ships outfitted for a covert operation that we never hear anything else about.

We also know that Col Ackerson (head of ONI) has his own agenda. What we don't know but it's important enough to get coverage in First Strike.

The AI knows it's behind the lines and captured. She still has a mission to perform. Survive Evade Reveal Escape.

She is always trying to establish here position with a solar compass or star alignment. She says she was a good celestial navigator.

She makes refrence to being operated on, taken apart and put back together. A Covenant engineer/AI would disassemble and reassemble her to better understand what it's dealing with. A single entity making multiple simultaneous probing attempts would seem like a spider to a delusional AI.

Our human AI knows she needs to hide she refrences Phasmida Elegans. But she also wants to be found. In the movie Master and Commander Phasmids are said to be insects that desguise themselves as sticks in order to hide from predators. Elegans appears to refrence a sort of worm.

The Spartans initial mission was to discover the covenant homeworld before the slipspace jump to halo.

My hypothesis: This AI is a trojan. Meant to be captured. Taken back to the Covenant homeworld in order to reveal it's posistion. Driving motivation:
Survive:Fighting to stay concious/coherent
Evade: Hiding; Phasmida Elegans
Reveal: Location of Covenant Homeworld
Escape: She's had it drilled into her that her "crew" will come get her. Extraction.

Seek the truth
Behold the truth
Reveal the truth

SPDR

I have noticed that the story about the little girl lost in enemy territory or whatever...mentions a "Spider". It says something about the spider's warning being put out. Well SPDR looks like SPIDER. That black countdown box could be the warning.

I dunno if that is anything but there's something to chew on.

Nobody knows precisely if or when because Bungie hasn't said anything about it. In fact, the only thing they have said about a demo, is that they won't even think about a demo until after the full game is finished.

As for the email-- if you sign up for an account you can enable notifications, and then when we post on our front page that the demo is out, you'll get an email!

oook im a huge halo fan . . . but i am a little both sided on this 1 . here let me explain myself a playable demo would KICK ASS ! ! ! buttttt . . i dont kno if it would be good only because everyones expectations are so high that if they did release a playable demo that it would absolutely ruin everyones expectations for it . . . people would be more patient and bungie doesnt want that . they want everyone on their freakin heads waiting for this game . . on the other hand id love to get a closer look at halo2 . . . maybe make a longer multiplayer watchable demo . . but as for a playable 2 level demo id have to say me personaly . . I CAN WAIt . . hell ive waited 2 years already whats another 3 months right . . well thanx for youR time now id like to get back to playing crimson skies online . . another kick ass game hahaha . . wait a miniute no were as near as kick ass as halo2 will be but for now it is my past time till the memorable day of november 9th ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

It is not unusual for a shop or newsstand that gets a magazine to cheat a little on the embargo date, especially with material that's got a lot of demand. I think scans have even gone around already, so I think there's little reason to doubt that some people probably do have this issue in their hands already.

halo 2 demo

from kinni\\hey man ive been hoping for a playable halo 2 demo for so long and i was predicting that oxm would release one in the upcoming october issue! i mean just think of the sales they could rack up from just one issue!!................i asked my friend who works at a video game store about this and he thought it might not be the best idea for bungie to release a playable demo. his point was interesting though. he stated that bungie probaly has over a million pre-orders for halo 2 right now if not thousands more and of those people, theres so many opinions, expectations, high confidence levels, doubts and worries that if a playable demo were to come out, its possible that some people could actually be dissapointed or just simply expect more or be upset that they didnt see any of thier own ideas in the demo or whatever. and others would think it ruled without a doubt. but with those who could possibly be let down in some crazy way, thier pre-orders could actually get refunded. you never really know. so why would bungie risk it. so as a business decision, maybe they shouldnt gamble on thier 100% guranteed 1 million plus preorders currently on hand.

Halo 2 playable demo

Bungie will most probably make a demo of Halo 2 for computer after Halo 2 is released on Xbox.
They will spend all their time before so enhancing Halo 2. As said above, demos are made for games that may not be popular. Bungie already know so many people await November 9th and will not make a demo until after then. Plus people will know what to expect from Halo 2 if there was a demo, so it may ruin sales for Bungie. And narcogen said that Bungie have never really made demos for any of their games.
Please do not ask again for a Halo 2 demo. Any enquiries please email Bungie. Thank you.

No, there wasn't supposed to be a demo. Bungie said more than once there would not be. Why you'd believe anyone but them on this subject, I can't imagine.

Secondly, Halo 2 is an Xbox game. It has not (yet, anyway) been announced for any other platform. So even if there was a downloadable demo-- which I doubt there will ever be-- it'd be in Xbox Live, and not on any website, since there's no way to get a demo out of your computer and into your Xbox anyway.

he prob thought that u could play it on the computer(dumbass)......by the way is that multiplayer demo(on bittournament)worth subscribing 2, to watch it???

narcogen's picture

new video

It depends on what you're looking for. It's a fairly long vid, so you'll get to see most of the weapons and vehicles in action, and most of the Zanzibar map.

Frankly, with the slimmer MC model in Halo 2, it's reminding me very much of Marathon multiplayer matches.

You don't need to subscribe to anything-- BitTorrent is free. Just google the word and you'll find lots of clients to download.

Using BitTorrent

Once you have the BitTorrent application, you need to use a web browser to open the BitTorrent file for the thing you want to download, then use the BitTorrent application to open that Torrent file.

Links to the torrent file are on this page:

http://halo.bungie.org/misc/mlg4v4footagemirrors.html

Download a torrent file from there, then open it in the BitTorrent program.

Or, you could google the phrase "bit torrent", find the site for the application, and RTFM.

yes. You have to find a Bit Torrent file to open in the Bit Torrent client. The client then prompts you for a filename to save, and the Bit Torrent client starts downloading the real file (in this case, the movie).

BT is a peer to peer program that uses distributed nodes to speed up downloads without straining individual networks. The link I posted in the other reply shows the link to the Bit Torrent for the Zanzibar video. Also on that site, halo.bungie.org, is a movies section where there are lots of links to cool movies.

you can also try this page http://rampancy.net/halo2movies

It could be a number of things. First, nearly all of the movies hosted here are in QuickTime format, so you'll need QuickTime installed to watch them.

http://www.apple.com/quicktime

Second, is that there simply may be too many people downloading movies at that moment for there to be an available connection. If you get a timeout error, wait a while and try reloading.

The number of times its been delayed is exactly zero. The release date was announced only once. That date is November 9 for North America. It has not changed. The widely-reported rumor that Halo 2 would be released in August were incorrect, based on wild speculation from the I Love Bees puzzle. Halo 2 has never been delayed.

They wont make one...

They wont make a Halo 2 playable demo. As said above:
Demos are for games to see if they are popular enough to make the full version (and we already know Halo 2 is gonna be a blast!)
Bungie has never made demos in the past (except after the game's release) so why would they make one now?
It would TOTALLY wreck the game. We all want Halo 2 up and running as the full, or some elements that are suppose to make the game brilliant wont be as great as they are, as on the demo you would play it over and over and over again and you would be too used to it.
And technically there is already demos. The trailers (E3 2003/04) are both showing Halo 2, but I do not, neither I'm sure do Bungie, believe that they would be useful for release to the public.
We've already waited over what...3 years? I only got a Xbox last Chirstmas and the one and only game I have bought with my brother is Halo. I've waited all year for it to come out, and a month wont kill anyone. Besides, theres other games such as Fable that are huge games that we can all play as we wait for the release of Halo 2

Anonymous's picture

i agree

i agree that there shouldnt be a demo anymore......maybe a few months ago but not now...its only 28 days away.....and ur right there are other games to be playing....you could even be playing computer games like rome total war.....however i dont think that a demo of part of the first level will ruin the game......it would make people want it even more......because they started the game and now they want tro finish it it is like watching 10 min of a movie, seeing that it is very good and wanting to watch the rest......by the way we have been waiting for halo2 for more then 3 years....i remember wanting it in 7th grade and now im a sophmore and the game is coming out in a month......thats 4 years and they have been working on it a couple of weeks after halo came out so they have been working on it for a really long time

MarineSniper's picture

I have to disagree

I have to disagree. I want NO spoilers. Halo 2 to me is this absolutely huge game that must be savoured until the actual game. Demos would totally ruin the experience. I want to be continually surprised, though I have seen some things eg. dual weilding, damage to vehicles etc. and thats about it. Everything else waits until the full version

halo 2 reveiwed

well oxm finally got there clammy hands on halo 2 and spent four days in a bungie office playin halo 2. they finally got a reveiw for it (drum roll) a 9.7 yep highest score ever. so no there will be no halo 2 demo especially when the game is less than a week away. lets see not counting today then there would be 5 more days left so everyone enjoy it it should be the best game ever.

9.7 really isn't all THAT!!!

If you think about, it's supposed to be the greatest, biggest game on X-box right? Then what's the big difference between that and a game like Prince of Persia that scored 9.6. What is the big difference in 1 point. Now I could see if they scored it a 9.8 or above, that's almost perfect but 9.7. It doesn't convince me that much.

In Australia here, we have our own Xbox mag. I got the latest one from headless and Halo 2 was 10/10. Highest score.
9.7 for Halo 2 in that mag was the highest score right? So that makes Halo 2 better Smiling

if you think about it anymore and ever even read oxm you would know that they dont go over more than one point on great games. you know why o because prince of persia 2 got a 9.6 and halo 2 got a 9.7. you may not think thats a great score but its unbeleivable for oxm. they would of given it a higher score but they want to make sure that when more games come out that halo 2 wont just blow them out of the water and make them look like bad games. its just a kinda code that use down there sometimes. they dont do it all the time but they wanted to do it for halo 2. so trust me for halo 2 to be amazing it doesnt need to get a 9.8 or higher. if you dont think it will be a good game then dont play it but i'll just be on xbox live having the time of my life while your sitten in a corner worrying about what a bunch of dorks think about a game. your choice

choose wisely.

Rent it

I'm sure places that rent Xbox games will have Halo 2, as well. So far no demo has been announced. And given the success of the original game and now the sequel, neither of which have had a demo, I'd bet they probably think it doesn't need one.

Halo 2 demo thingy too

Look!!! if bungie is thinking about the game and making it the best selling game of the year then listen up. Bungie want to sell, why not put5 a demo out to people who think bad of halo 2and when they play the demo thell be provin wrong. Its promoting it and i garrentee it will bring in costemers

narcogen's picture

Maybe because

it isn't necessary?

Promising Bungie more customers for putting out a demo is like asking Bill Gates if he'd like to sell Girl Scout cookies door to door for some extra cash. Sure, he COULD get more money that way, but his current strategy seems to be working OK.

I'm sure Bungie is getting flogged by emails requesting this, but wouldn't it be cool if they could release a playable Halo 2 demo? Upon reading the February 2004 issue of the Official Xbox Magazine, I learned that one of their employees, Frank O'Connor, now works at Bungie Studios. (lucky bastard!) So I was thinking that maybe they could put a playable Halo 2 demo (perhaps of the E3 demo video?) on one of the upcoming disks. I'm sure the people at Bungie read this, so perhaps if there is a huge demand for a playable demo, they might release one. Please share your thoughts on this, and let your voice be heard!

Halo 2 PC release

I think that Halo 2 WILL come out for the PC after a time for microsoft to make all the $ they can get. Then (like Halo 1) the cool game Halo 2 will evetualy come to the PC. I have Halo for the PC and I think it's the best MUlTIPLAYER game I have ever played. Although Counter Strike would win if there were Ghosts, hogs, scorpions, and Banshees.

Don't hold your breath

Halo 2 hasn't even been announced for PC. And given the experience of PC Halo users and the tension between Gearbox and Bungie, I think there's reasonable doubt that it will ever happen.

I'm not saying it won't-- because I don't know for sure either way. But if I had to guess, I'd say it's not.

First of all I'm surprised this thread is still in use.
Narc, as before he probably meant the E3 2003/04 demos.
What tension is there Narc? I haven't heard of anything..
Really, I wouldn't use Halo 2 as a PC game. On my laptop that I got around last year sometime like around August or something, the graphics were crap. I had to put it on the lowest setting of detail and I didn't like that to take out the lag. On the internet there was always a lag. Halo 2 is so much faster that people wouldn't have a clue.

Well, those were really only playable by Bungie. They've mentioned in a few places that, while strictly speaking, it was all in-engine and real-time, there were many ways they could have broken the scripting; Earth City was never really completed as a playable level.

MarineSniper wrote:

There's a lot. Gearbox has been consistently and repeatedly pointing fingers at Bungie as a response to fan complaints about PC Halo's lack of editing and Custom Edition's netcode problems.

I'm in the same boat. I use a powerbook for my computing and for older games; I wouldn't call myself an Xbox fanboi, but it's got more than enough good games (Halo 1 and Halo 2 included) to use up all the free time I could possibly have that I want to give to computer gaming, and then some.

Exactly. People should enjoy the Xbox because of Halo, not go "Oh yeah I've played it on Xbox we can also play on the computer". Halo is an Xbox game, not a PC game.

Anonymous's picture

I agree

the games are made on a PC therefore they should make a full game or atleast a demo

narcogen's picture

Unlikely

Said it before... I'll say it again. Probably not going to happen.

All console games are developed on PCs of some kind. That doesn't mean all console games get ported. Because they don't.

Even if it was done, it'd most likely be done by a porting house, like last time-- which means Bungie wouldn't be doing the game port or the demo themselves anyway.

There isn't one

There is no Halo 2 for PC. Although it's possible such a port might be done in the future, nothing has been announced yet, so it is far too premature to be asking when there's going to be a demo for a game that hasn't even been announced yet.

As I've posted elsewhere in the thread, I think it unlikely Halo 2 will be ported to PC.

Halo 2 for PCs-- let alone a free demo of it-- doesn't exist because Bungie hasn't announced it. Nor is there any indication that any such announcement is forthcoming.

If you want Halo 2, at the moment you've got to buy an Xbox to get it. They aren't expensive these days.

For whom?

Who would the demo be for? The three guys who have Xboxes but don't own Halo 2 already?

Given how many more PlayStation 2s there are in the world, the fact that Halo 2 was even CLOSE to GTA:SA's numbers in sales is astounding. I doubt the number of potential customers they have left would be worth making an Xbox demo for.

As for a PC version-- even if it were to exist (which I doubt) the demo would come (as usual) after the game's release, and my guess is that would be a minimum of 1 year away... if it happens at all, which I doubt.

halo 2 pc release

you would think that when a game sells 5 mill copys in the first few months they would get thier act together and tap the even bigger response they would get from a pc conversion, i have halo on pc and xbox i have to say the pc conversion was far superior, i dunno perhaps bungie are frightend that they will not be able to match the current online pc games but after playing the xbox version of halo 2 and taking in to account the response they would get with mods and maps the net comunity would make sure that it was the best game so far and microsoft and bungie could still make thier money. so why is thier no release date or even a hint of one to be found come on bungie give microsoft a kick up the ass.

narcogen's picture

PC version

The PC version was largely a disaster. There are three separate versions (Mac, PC, Custom Edition). Custom Edition supports mods. The other two don't. Custom Edition is not network-compatible with the other two, and depending on when fixes are made, sometimes the Mac and PC versions aren't compatible with each other.

The only player base for all flavors of PC Halo is much lower than on Xbox Live for Halo 2. Custom Edition is unable to get even 1,000 simultaneous players worldwide at any one time, and the modding community, compared to earlier Bungie games like Marathon and Myth, is merely a shadow of itself.

There's little incentive to port Halo 2 to PC, I think, and given the schedule the last time, I'd not expect to see an announcement for six months and then another year to complete the port itself.

halo 1 came out for pc

i know that if they made halo 1 for pc halo 2 will be on also made by microsoft.

narcogen's picture

Except it wasn't

Microsoft published Halo 1 on the PC. It was ported from the Xbox to the PC by Gearbox, and ported from the PC to the Mac OS by Westlake.

So if Halo 2 were to come out for PCs, most likely it would take the same route: a third party would be contracted to do PC and (possibly) Mac ports, and Microsoft would publish them. (Although MacSoft I believe published the Mac version.)

However, I've said it before and I'll say it again: don't hold your breath for PC or Mac ports of Halo 2.
