According to IGN its easier to play Halo with a keyboard and mouse so the normal mode might feel easier on the PC.They prefered playing it hard mode for that reason

Mouse + keyboard is the only way to play FPS games. I\'m shocked you haven\'t tried it that control method before. I started using mouse and keyboard when Quake came out, took some time to get used to but after that you\'ll never want to play with a controller ever again.  

Don\'t think there\'s a subscription needed for Halo in MP but you need a really good PC to run it properly.

Both.  Halo benefits from a fast computer in terms of its videcard, ram, and processor as well as a broadband connection.

Your computer is fine, but you\'ll have to tone some details down as it is a fairly crappy port, but the 56k connection is the real problem.  The game functions, but its net code is far from optimized.

Just played this game yesterday....can\'t agreed more...whatta sloppy port. The graphics aren\'t that much better from the XBOX version except for smoother frame rates and higher res.

heck, I think Serious Sam 2nd encounter looks better than this.

ive only played half life on pc, as not a huge pc gamer ( chap is the only other game ive played on pc a lol) at first mouse keybord combo is weird, but you can tell straight away aiming is a lot easier. onceyou get used to it, its very cool, only prob i found is with games where thereare to many moves, and where ive not had enough practice, i dont know the best layouts for the buttons, you shoudnt get this prob with halo though, not many buttons

The game is not satisfying unless you\'re playing legendary.  And Co-op, another feature left out of the pos port.
