Yeah. Halo XBox > Halo PC.
Why?
I for one am so used to playing it on XBox, that when I play it on PC, it always seems to be missing something. I think that something is mainly the force feedback from the controller. Seriously, that added so much to my game when I played. The rest is harder to describe. Halo PC SP is fine really, but MP? Halo PC MP is AWFUL. At least from my expirence.
For starters, Gearbox totally screwed MP over. They added things that shouldn't have been added. Banshees is at the top of that list. I cannot stress how annoying people who fly those things are. The Rocket Hog is downright useless for anything other than getting three people from point A to point B. The Rockets move too slow, it takes far too long to reload, and they don't even fly STRAIGHT. The Fuel Rod Cannon is nice, but I don't think it causes nearly enough damage to the user at close range. I've had people hit me with it when I was no more than 3 feet away. It kills me, but they still walk. I think I've seen maybe 5 people use the flame thrower in all the games I've played. That might be because it's in an out of the way place and doesn't have a long enough range. Lastly, I think Gearbox did a direct port of everything from Halo XBox to PC. Fine by me. But the weapons are now far to powerful. Lets talk about the pistol for a minute. On XBox, you aim with thumbsticks. For me, that ain't easy to do. Making it harder to aim, decreases your accuracy and the range you use it at (It's ALOT easier to hit someone from 5 feet away than it is from several hundred feet away). This in turn makes the weapon a bit weaker. On PC, however, your aiming with the good ole keyboard and mouse. Precise movements are VERY easy. Thus, your aim and accuracy are improved, and you can hit someone from much farther back. This makes the weapon more deadly. What does that mean? The weapons on Halo PC, even though they are probably exactly the same as on XBox, cause more damage. I believe that could have been fixed by decreasing the amount of damage you recieve when hit by them. Oh well.
All in all, Halo PC is fine. But if given the choice of Halo PC or Halo XBox, I'd go for the XBox every time.

You told them all I was crazy,
