FirstSlacker Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 <rant> to hell with microsoft and their pos X-box. What good is a FPS without a keyboard and mouse?!?!? And the Framerape!!</rant> Halo was good though.......on PC. It would be even better if they'd realease it for PC and X-box at the same time, getting buyers from both areas. But no....can't do that.....Windows costs more than an X-box but they want all your money so they'll make you get both. :angry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/121066-halo-2-release-date/page/2/#findComment-1443972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
