Leif Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 (edited) Can i play Halo on my Mac against another person on Halo on a PC? A Lan Game for example. Update: the problem happened to be that my mac version of halo was not the same version as my pc version of halo. i had to update the pc / and or downgrade it to match the mac version which is 02.0581 (pc must be downgraded to same version or upgraded) i verified this and was able to play. this may not be the case if a person is running a dedicated sever. but for lan games this is needed.

Solarix Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 i didnt even know halo was avalible for the mac it prob run smooth on a G5 (drools) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4M3R Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 i didnt even know halo was avalible for the mac it prob run smooth on a G5 (drools) I remember hearing back in the early days before the XBOX stole it that it was coming to both platforms. Has anyone seen it running or got any screen shoots? I've tried UT2003 demo on a G4 Power Mac and was really surprised how good it looked (it only had a standard Mac mouse so no alt-fire :D ).

Tran Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Pretty sure you can play against PC players. In America's Army you can play against PC players so I see why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmpCoder Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I am pretty sure it would, it would probably make the Mac users mad if it didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptiPlex Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 I heard that Mac Halo is like PC Halo - runs a bit crappy on high end systems, but it's tolerable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC players cannot play against Xbox users at all. You really shouldn't be able to play online with Halo, but people have made this possible with Tunneling software. But even if you use that you can only play with other Xbox'ers with Tunneling software on. Halo 2 will support Xbox Live but you still can't play with PC or Mac users with that either. As for the PC and Mac thingo, well it would be very stupid to just make it so that can't play together, because there would be hardly any Mac people playing MP against other Macs.
