“With the PC version of Halo, Gearbox Software is once again doing what they do best - taking a really cool game and making it even cooler. Taking full advantage of all the benefits offered by the PC platform, Gearbox is creating a game that will be a must-have for both existing Halo fans and PC action-game fans alike.” Well, where to start. I know many people who own this game on the x-box and they all believe it is a truly amazing game! But now, after a very, very long wait, I will soon be able to own this game. The game will ship with full multiplayer supported over the Internet, with all the modes that were included with Halo on the Xbox, as well as a few new options (and 2 new weapons, the fuel rod gun a Covenant weapon from the single-player campaign, and the brand-new flamethrower :P). Gearbox has also created six new multiplayer maps, including a few that take advantage of another new feature: the Banshee fighter can now be used in multiplayer, as can a new plasma weapon and a modified Warthog with a missile launcher on the rear. Halo PC will ship with all 26 multiplayer modes from the original Xbox version, dubbed "Classic," which are exact recreations of its Xbox counterparts, all the way down to vehicle placement. In addition, there should be 12 or 13 "Standard" modes, which have been added for the PC, as well as the ability to mix and match your own "Custom" modes, where you can get as detailed as giving different teams completely different sets of vehicles. The only thing that would make this game complete would be a co-op mode, like on the Xbox, but there has been no sign of it yet, but Gearbox says it’s top of their list. Well all I can say is that thank God there’s not long left to wait!
