as much as cross and I have never seen eye to eye, I think anyone that understands the competitive aspects of gaming can appreciate why halo pc is the most skillful of the halo series.

The only reason that halo pc was not such a respected e-sport is because:

a) It was a port
b) It had bad netcode (thankfully, otherwise the game would not be fast enough to have people ever miss).

Sure, halo xbox was a pretty good competitive console fps, but unfortunately console is the key word there. Fatal1ty said it best when he said all the really good gamers play PC. Halo was skillful for a console FPS, but when you try to compare the skill of that to the skill of someone using a mouse in a game like ut2k4 or q4 then it only takes about 10 seconds to see that there are obvious imbalances that would make halo xbox a game less suited for competitive play.

You say that everyone knows that halo was meant to be played on the xbox? Maybe if you talk to a random guy he would say that, but then again you were talking about competitive play, and maybe 0.1% of gamers are competitive, and in the end there are definitely more hpc players that are competitive than halo 1 xbox players.


PS. Muffin, coming 15th in a game that is competitively dead is no achievement.
