2. Can someone recommend a good controller for it?

thanks in advance.

1. No, its only on the xbox 360 at the moment.

There was a version of Halo 2 that ran on PPC/Intel Macs I believe.

Halo 3 is Xbox 360-only. Halo 2 runs on the Xbox, Xbox 360 and Windows. The original Halo was released on Xbox, Windows and Mac OS X.

Most of the PC gamers I know use a keyboard and mouse.

Not to sure about Halo but my xbox 360 wired controller works, just plug it into a spare usb port. Although not all games work with it such as NFS, I know that Bioshock, COD 4, HellGate, Gears of War, and Crysis work just fine with the controller.

Forgot to mention that the above games are for XP/Vista. If you do go with the 360 controller then you might also want to use USBoverdrive to help set up the controller.
