What are your thoughts for the PC port? Well worth the hype and wait?

I read reviews that the game suffers framerate drops in high resolutions, including high end graphics cards. I think I'll stay away from this POS until it drops in price.

who the hell autographed it? Why would you want a game designer/producer/whatever to autograph a copy of your game for you... If you paid extra for that I'm going to laugh at you

i was going to say "i would imagine any animal would have trouble running a considerable distance while on top of your computer." but you didnt actually write "like a three-legged dog on my computer"

I am not going to get it for PC, XBConnect is spectacular. I almost went in for the fuel rod gun, rocket warthog, and new mp levels, but then I fragged some fools online over XBC and the crazy urge to splurge left me. I need to be able to afford Halo 2 eventually, you know!

For some reason xbconnect doesn't work for me. I hook up my Xbox to my router and I can connect to the system link screen in Halo and the Xbox is identified by xbc. But when I try to join a game it doesn't work. My xbox never recieves any data or anything :(

The fact that a new game will not run well on my high-end system is one reason why I stay away from new games such as this. I don't care how great the gameplay is -- if I can't enjoy because my framerates are dropping into the 20's with 1024x768 resolution, then I don't bother.

But then again, what do you expect --- it's a console port :(

Funny how that "console" sports a 733 Celeron, Geforce graphics, and a Windows 2000 kernel ;)

If you have a router, you have to open up your ports.
