"So, your Halo opinions?"

I finally got this working on Snuggly's PC, and it rocks. there was something slightly odd about the graphics though. Not sure if they were better or worse - just...different? The gameplay itself is absolutely fantastic. Watching someone climb into one of those Banshees, fly around whilst shooting and then get blown out of the sky by a tank is stunningly beautiful to watch. Can't wait to play it again.

It's fun in parts, crap in others. Some nice outdoor environments hampered by some bloody awful interior levels but I did love those vehicles. All in all though, not the best game I've ever played, certainly fun and with a nice multiplayer, but after finishing it once, I doubt I'll go back anytime in the near future to takle it on a harder difficulty setting.

Is it littered, as many websites, including the BBC, have claimed?

littered with bugs that is.

I wrote those words... I know I did... so where did they go?

The only bugs I encountered, apart from the occasional slow down when too much was happening on screen was an odd sound bug where voices in cut-scenes ocassionally cut out for no reason. Small bugs though, I never found they impeded on my enjoyment of the game.

So for those who've played both the Xbox and PC versions (which would be a bit silly come to think of it) - is the multiplayer worth it over the Xbox version? Would you say the Xbox version was less glitchier? Comments dudes.

Seeing as the XBox version ran fine (except for some slowdown in co-op) then I guess the PC version is more bugged.

About two, that hardly impair the game.

I can't wait to see the mods that come out for this game, hopefully someone will be kind enough to provide the co-op mode shunted out by Gearbox (Why?) though some new levels, weapons and enemies wouldn't go amiss either.

Just like to take this opportunity to say I've just finished the game. :)

**MINOR SPOILER ALERT**

Quite like the last scene, going flat out in the Warthog, with explosions all around etc. Not sure why there's so many ramps, tunnels etc, but it's all good fun! :)

Just a shame there isn't an end-game boss, plus the end sequence is pretty run-of-the-mill (although I like it where the Chief takes off his helmet, but his face is conceiled - sneaky).

Overall - an OK game I 'spose. But seeing as it's meant to be X-Box's killer game, a let-down all in all. Shame really.

Bear in mind that it was Xbox's killer LAUNCH app. you guys are playing a game that's two years old. Part of it's appeal was that it brought a game type (FPS) to a console in a near perfect way. On the PC it's another in a long line of FPS games, but it's real appeal was that on a machine costing a fraction of a PC's price people could play a near perfect FPS.

Now Halo 2.... any of you non-Xbox owners seen the E3 trailer ? :D
