Halo 2 PC. Just saying it gets me excited to play this brillaint FPS. Its not that I haven't played it, I finished the whole game in co-op with a mate before the game had even been out a week. We beat the whole thing in about 8 hours, on normal.

Now I know that putting it on Legendary (ok Elite as its now know) will change things a bit, but the size of the game could be a bit better. I think it might be a case of Bungie concentrating too much on the super shiny graphics, and way too much on the online aspects of the game. I say online because really thats where the multiplayer is aimed at, (well there, and large lan parties that take ages to organize and everything) if you aint got broadband the multiplayer is good but it feels empty. I can't help but wonder why Bungie don't include bots for practising against, with Halo's killer AI it would be great. And playing with another person in co-op, taking on army of medium to weak players is a heap of fun.

Another thing I find wierd with Halo 2 is the health and shield system. The Master Chief still has his trade mark recharging energy shields, but that's it. There's no health bar for no real reaon. If you're shields drop you can take a couple of hits before dying. Now lets take a minute or two to think about this. The MC is a super strong cyborg soldier who can only take a few hits from the enemy before he drops dead, while his merely human marine allies can take far more, huh? Oh and the MC where's half a tonne of heavy combat armour, (the marines have armour but its no where near as special) which doesn't seem to be able to stop anything. How the hell does all that work??? C'mon Bungie if your gonna have all that armour there then put it good use.

Despite all this I'm still going to get Halo 2 PC the day it lands in Australian retailers, why? Because I know  damn well how much fun it'll be, its the best console FPS of all time, but how will it stack up next to the PC heavuy wieghts. Well we all know damn well that it'll beat Doom 3 no question asked, FarCry, I don't know thats a damn good game. Same goes for FEAR. I believe Quake 4 should be quaking in fear and Half Life 2 can just glare down its nose for the time being, I doubt the Master Chief a super strong cyborg who's faced down and beaten armies of aliens and mutants is going to be able to beat down Gorden Freeman, an MIT grad, turned dimension hopping commando, but since Bungie waited all this time, and Halo was originally a PC game, well you never know what they might add (after all PC hardware means new grpahics, why not new "cough" gravity gun./features/bots/generally gameplay "cough" cough cough cough")
