Awesome game!

I have owned this game for about a month now and I have beat the story mode in easy once. It may sound as if I must really suck at it but to tell you the truth, I beat the actual story mode (campaign) in about one week (in easy.) My first thought was to beat it again in normal, heroic, and finally legendary. After beating the first few levels of normal, I decided that I was sick of fighting the same stupid aliens over and over again, so I selected multiplayer. After playing multiplayer, I finally realized what all the hype about halo on the PC was about. Playing multiplayer is a totally different experience. I have DSL so I have only gone up to ten players in one game. There are many new things for the PC version of halo compared to the xbox version of halo, however, these new features are only available during multiplayer games NOT during the campaign. New things for PC version of halo online: Fuel rod gun, flame thrower, rocket wart hog, banshees (in halo banshees were available only during the campaign.) turrets (I believe they are called shades but I'm not sure) and 6 completely new levels.

CONS: I have a 3 Ghz, P4 with HT, 128 MB graphics accelerator, 512 MB RAM, and a 200 GB hard drive and I still have to run it at 640x480! I was able to turn on the particles and all of the other video settings but I am forced to run it at 640x480 or I usually have to experience lag. Also, I haven't been able to install it on anyone else's computer. I downloaded all the patches for it but then when it comes time to run it, it says, "Your hardware accelerator may be disabled, please enable it." So I run dialdx.exe (Or something close to that, I don't remember) and make sure everything is enabled, run all the tests and still, I get the same message every time. It's not that the computers are don't meet the requirements, the last one I tried had 3 GHz, P4, and a DirectX 64 MB video card. For some strange reason, it still works on my computer though, it has only not worked on other people's computers.

Over all, the pros DEFINITATELY out number the cons and I highly recommend this game to anyone who has a computer capable of playing this game.
