Halo PC was a godawful port. I doubt Halo 2 will go over for a long time, if at all (seeing as how it was bred for consolehood from the beginning. and as we learned from Halo PC, consolehood doesn't translate well onto the PC).

Gah...stupid pirates *looks around* always ruining everything. I personally don't think that Microsoft is going to do anything at this point, only because it is so close to release time anyhow.

*large intestines explode*
If it sells poorly, they'll be wanting to get as many sales as possible, so they'll rush it to PC and the people who didn't get it for X-Box (and many people who did) will buy it.

Master Chief is green! And aliens are the bad guys! And oddly enough the guns shot people and are used to kill!
