I have Halo. My dad doesn't like it much but he told me to never get Halo 2 because so many people think it's too violent. I don't think so. Halo wasn't all that bad. Yet he'll let me have Far Cry. That game is bloody and cool. How many of you have played Halo 2 and think it's violent (i haven't played it)?

I found Far Cry to actually be worse than the Halo series. The reason your father has probably heard more about the violence in Halo 2 is because the game is more popular than Far Cry.

It's not too bad... Even if you kill someone with the sword there's hardly any blood. You are basically a walking tank so there's no guts or limbs flying around.

The whole thing about Halo is that you're a superhuman cyborg fighting machine. You way 500lbs and can still stand on a marine's shoulders. Its almost along the lines of cartoonish in some aspects but with a hell of a lot better graphics. Its not violent but not like splatter blood across your screen violent. I actually see the worst aspect of the game is the mass racism and vulgure included on xbox live because meathead little 12 year old's parents don't moniter their gaming.

Yeah I noticed that the language was about the only thing. Halo is as Bloody as Call of Duty. Thanks for the info. PS> I do like Far Cry more than Halo... better graphics.

well your can turn off what little blood there is in halo for the PC, but there may not be a Halo 2 for PC.

I hope they do decide to port it to PC. It would suck if they didn't.

They arn't going to go PC

Graphics mean dick-all to me in games. My favorite game is probably Chrono Trigger. Compair that to Halo.

They aren't? Where's your source of info for that? I guess the Xbox, being devoted to games has better graphics than a computer might, unless you bought one of those $ 1000 video cards and an hot, fast CPU and Motherboard, Lots of fast biiig ram (around the 400mhz with a total of 2 GB)... I wish I had that money for a computer ot play Far Cry.

My source? Bungie themselves. They've commented numerous times on bungie.net in their weekly updates that they are NOT making h2 for PC. They're working on new projects right now. Hahaha come to think of it if any of you guys wanna play Cheese/me in halo 2 on Xbox live Msg the gamertag CapnStank. We'll play ya.

Any port to the PC would of course be contracted out to another developer and not developed internally by Bungie...just like they did with Halo 1 and Gearbox.

Well first like I said, they've mentioned themselves that they have no plans to convert to a PC version. Now that the new maps are released I'm pretty sure they're going to start a new project... perhaps Halo 3. Perhaps continue an old series. I've heard rumors about a game they're working on, it wasn't halo but it was something entirely different... don't ask me for the name.

Besides for them to convert to a PC version it still would require some work on their programmer's behalf that I don't believe they'd want to invest.

Halo 3 is already in development and is scheduled to release for the XBox 360 on the same day as the launch for the Playstation 3. Most of the key figures in Bungie had already left to form Wideload Games after Halo 2 was completed. As for the port, that is entirely up to the Microsoft management and not Bungie.
