Can I play Halo 2 on my PC?
I started playing Halo 2 at someone else's house a while back, and they recently got Xbox Live so we can play against many other people. He says I should get an Xbox and a copy of Halo 2 and a Live subscription so I don't have to drive to his place all the time.
But being the cheap person that I am, I'm trying to get out the cheap way.
Is there any way I can play Halo 2 from my PC (XP Home, Barton 2500 @ 2.2, 9200 SE 128 MB video card)?
Perhaps this is a dumb question, but I thought I'd ask anyhow. I'm not interested in any other games besides Halo 2.

I should also mention that when Halo 2 for the PC comes out, IF I get it I'd want to play in the live online games with it, not just on my computer with myself. I assume it'll have that capability, but wanted to mention it anyhow.
It will run fine on his curent rig when it comes out as long as he doesnt crank anything.
At this point Halo 2 is an X-box only franchise neither M$ or Bungie have indicated or announced they will make a PC version available.
oh yeah??? that's why the 1st halo for pc played so well on low-end rigs???
it's not the same when it is ported to the pc platform....at least the 1st halo wasn't. you can bet halo 2 for pc will be a resource hog too....
that being said, you might get 640x480 with everything on low, but it won't be much fun.
Your buddy is right. If you want to join him in his X-Box Live! games, then you have to get your own X-Box and Live! subscription. If it were me, I would just keep playing at his place.
It's a 23 mile round trip to his place and back, or about $3.50-$3.75 worth of gasoline at today's prices. At that rate, I can play over there until spring and still save money on the deal.
The last thing I need is an excuse to sit in front of my TV all day long anyhow.
