I wasn't a fan of Halo ... until it came to the PC.

First, let me start out by saying that Halo is getting pretty old by now (early 2005), so even though I say this game has good graphics, this game is starting to show its age compared to the latest games on the market.

When I first played this game on Xbox I wasn't very impressed. It was okay, but nothing special compared to newer PC combat games. The thing that annoyed me the most was the basic level design (which hasn't really improved on the PC) and the console controls. Well, Halo plays quite well on the PC and I personally think the graphics are "somewhat" improved.

I've read a lot of reviews on Amazon talking about people having trouble playing Halo at anything other that the lowest quality settings, but I haven't had ANY of those problems. I'm on a P4 2.8GHz machine with 1Gig of RAM and a 128MB ATI graphics card. Maybe some of the people having problems either don't have enough RAM or have buggy machines or cheap PCs they bought from Dell, but I have NO PROBLEM running this game at 1024x768 at AT LEAST 30fps and all the detail settings to high. (I bought my gaming PC from Falcon Northwest back in late 2003 in case you're wondering.)

Anyway, if you've got a good PC and are trying to decide whether or not to buy Halo, all I can say is buy this game and have some fun.
