Which game is better? Simply put, this is an opinion poll. It goes back to the age-old feud between consoles and computers. Is the more modern H2 Vista better that its Xbox counterpart, or is the origional masterpiece better than the newer copy? Is H2V just leeching off of the popularity of Vista, or is it an improvement over the older console? Please leave your opinion below; just remember to be considerate - this is Bungie's site we're using!

Long live the MAW.

Halo 2 Vista, because to me FPS is better played on a computer with a Keyboard and Mouse. Same goes to RTSes.
besides that, alot of potential for custom content.

H2V for the win, I agree with Rinkes on this, Computers are better then consoles.

Actually, IMHO, both will suck. You know why? It has a worthless popcorn shooter, and even when dual wielded, hitting MC with a pillow will do more damage. H2V will most likely have on lag as well. Good news? If you think newbies headshotting you 400 times a minute is fun, fine go consider it good news. Not to mention most of the maps are mere copycats of the classic maps of Halo1. I really think lag (lag, as in having to compensate for it, by firing ahead according to ping), and learning how to shoot while dealing with lag, takes skill.

Just a quick FYI...this is the Halo PC forum, meaning that almost all your results will be biased greatly towards Vista.

That, and trying to spark a Console vs. PC discussion is never a good idea given the general maturity of people from both sides of the modem.

Because head shotting in any game with a decent netcode is SO easy * rolls eyes*. Seriously don't give me that elitist bull-blam!-, just because it will have a good netcode doesn't mean it will take any less skill to get head shots. Besides the only reason that happens in the current Halo 2 is because of the MASSIVE AUTO-AIM AND HIT BOXES. Which has been confirmed won't be in Halo 2 Vista, well at least the major hit boxes won't be. Yes Halo 2 Vista may take slightly less skill but that doesn't mean that the game will be any less fun, or take no skill at all to play. Play the game before you pass judgment on it, and form the videos I've seen I have no reason to agree with you.

I wouldn't buy Halo 2 Vista if it didn't have that map editor, it's everything to me. Even if the game had NO upgrades, as in no graphical stuff, no live, no new weapons (it won't anyway) and it still had the map editor, then the game would win. Look at what gearbox did, they did a half ass to mediocre job on the PC but they gave us CE, and because of that all of us would take PC over Xbox any day.

It's the same damn game idjit. Same campaign, same multiplayer maps, same weapons, same vehicles, SAME EVERYTHING. Neither game is more deserving than the other of the name Halo. How does a video game "deserve" it's name anyways? I wouldn't call Halo 2 a masterpiece. Neither would I call the original Halo a masterpiece by any stretch of the word. I'm sorry, but as far as FPS games go, Halo is run of the mill.

And we really don't need another moronic Console vs. PC thread here either.

As someone said before, read before you post. I wouldn't expect something like this out of you as well. You know well enough the differences in the game and how everything is NOT the same. Bye bye auto aim; bye bye melee lunge; hello some damn skill; hello the ability to mod every weapon/vehicle/map to the way you see fit; hello the ability to make your own maps. If you still find that both games are the same afterwards, then you need help.

Those are small changes. Not really anything to get excited about. It's still the same game. How can you say Halo 2 Vista is better when it hasn't even been released yet?

And if you'll notice that I quoted him, that kind of implies that I read the post.

Plus the fact that he posted this in a PC forum. That also implies that he's not going to get unbiased answers. This is just a cleverly disguised console vs. PC thread.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

The differences:

No console auto-aim.
Better graphics.
Free multiplayer.
H2EK
Fewer 13 year olds with 8 year old brains.
Fewer 17 year olds with 13 year old brains.

I rest my case.

Because I played Halo 2 Xbox extensively. Hell, Pitfall Harry is better than that travesty, mainly because of the problems that made it a travesty. Though I don't truely know that Halo 2 Vista will be great, I do know that it is an improvement from its Xbox counterpart and the removal of the things that made it such a bad sequel are obviously good points.

And if you'll notice that I quoted him, that kind of implies that I read the post.
It also implies that you weren't thinking about what the differences really were.

Is it? I haven't seen any extensive debate about consoles vs. PCs. My answer wasn't based on that either. If anything, playing it on the PC will actually make the game see a lot slower, considering that the mouse offers fluid movements and complete control.

According to other people's signatures, 98% of America has tried or is addicted to marijuana. If you are part of the 95% of the people who don't live in America, then add this to your signature.

Oh dear, oh dear.

Firstly, they are both the same.
Secondly, Obi_wan, Run of the mill? Run of the mill???? What respect I had for you has now flown out of the window. Into a passing garbage truck. Which promptly crushed it. Upon arriving at the landfill, it was shat on by some seagulls, eaten by a rat, and crapped out into the Atlantic.
Thirdly, Does it matter, at the end of the day?

OK, it may not be as good as, say, Gears of War, but it's better than a lot of shooters that are out there, though.
