I just downloaded the demo for pc. Pretty cool I like driving stuff again.

Does anyone else have the full version? are the maps more detailed than the demo one?

I have both versions, x box and pc. PC version lot nicer to look at and if you have a good sound card/ speakers, the effects will blow you away.

We can hire Valve to handle the updates.

Well, in my post I said was it was prettier to look at. What I didn't say was that I had performance issues with it right out of the box. I built a high-end gaming system for the likes of Halflife 2 and Halo.
Fast MOBO, cpu, video card, raid, based it from an Alienware system I was drooling over, but too tight to buy.
Framerates for Halo were terrrible. I cranked resolution down to minimal settings, didn't help. Searched forums, cussed my machine (must be my fault) only to find that Gearbox teaked the sound in converting to pc version. Reduced sound settings to almost minimal and framerates greatly improved.
Would I highly recommend it? Only if you don't have the X Box version, you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, and if you're dyin' to try the improved controls of keyboard versus gamdpad. In short, buyer beware

I just got the full version of HALO after playing that and it's pretty fun. I like driving-or flying-around the maps and killing people.
