Halo was orginally created to compete with Tribes, but MS bought it and developed it for the crappy X-Box

Halo is fun though, so is Planet Siege, and Half life, but they are not as good as Tribes.

Tribes seems like a good game, but it seems that I can only do one thing 'Right' in the game,.. DIE.

LoL, but seriously, just about every Online game I joined had people setting off bombs under them and jumping extremely high in the air. And they always managed to snipe me while doing this. Oh the joy of being PK fodder.

i have halo for PC, played through on all difficulties. legendary was unbelievably hard, quite a challenge. took me a month to beat it, playing every second I could (but being an electrical engineer in college, i really dont have much free time). however, it kinda ran crappy on my desktop. I have a 2.4 GHz processor with 512 or 1024 megs of RAM (forget which, and im not at my desktop so i cant check it), and a brand spanking new nVidia 256 meg card. It ran choppy if I raised the resolution to even 800x600. I was very disappointed. 'course, it may just be cuz i'm using nVidia's drivers and not 3rd party by my manufacturers. it may run sweet on yours.

however, if it runs like ****, you will want to look up the -useFF command line option on google, which made things run a LOT smoother at higher resolutions like 1024x768, with the cost being less impressive effects (opaque shields, etc.).

overall, I must say that the game was awesome. I had never played it on console, and got it for PC and instantly fell in love with it. The lack of coop sux. but hey, there's always Halo 2. and the trailer for Halo 2 looks *amazing*
