You people say you're never going to get an unbiased answer, get ready to forget ever believing that.

First of all both games have or will have(in H2V's case) their downfalls and victory moments over the other.

Halo 2 vista will have no auto aim feature which will have you worring less about the less skilled snipers that use it out there in Xbox live.

Halo 2 has a larger community of online players therefor having easier chances of finding a game over what might take vista a couple days or a week or 2 at most to get the same ease.

Halo 2 Vista you can use a 360 controller(from what i heared) or use the traditional mouse or keyboard which i kinda preferre, it gives me more accuracy when sniping and whatnot.

Halo 2 has easy memorable controlls which you can learn in a day over what vista has with remapping the controls on keyboard which then i still get some what confused.

So, I won't be able to say what version i like better untill H2V comes out then I compare. Untill then i consider them equals, even then i may still consider them equals. The only thing which i may like H2V more when it comes out is for the feel of it finally being on pc.

So as of now, they're the same to me.

Lol, unbiased doesn't mean it doesn't lean to one side, it means there is no bias.
I was about to say that...

It's sad you don't know any better. I'm sorry that the keyboard has too many "buttons" for you to press, so you think that a controller which offers less flexibility and precision is superior, but the vast majority of us who play PC games don't "look down" at the keyboard when we play. The default controls on most computer games, and probably Halo 2, are fine, but if they're not, then we can remap them. That's the beauty of it. I don't think you could do the exact same thing with a controller.

Not only that, a mouse and keyboard is superior to the controller in almost everyway when it comes to first-person shooters.

If its based on opinion, it will be biased unless you ask every single person that is affected. One answer will be biased period.


You clearly talk without thinking....

Unbiased does mean it doesn't take sides.

You mean like us?

I'm joking. I couldn't care less about Gamerscore. I do like getting these nifty Achievements, though.

Lol yeah the only achievement points ive gotten so far are about 4 from that crappy arcade game that came with the 360 XD. Yes, I got one Kim, go ahead and harass me about how you have live and i dont, you have a great gamerscore and about 3000 achievement, whatever.
Anyway, I think that seeing as how I have finally gotten Halo 2, I'm really not sure which to vote for. I mean, yeah, the map editor will be great, and im sure there will be a few updates we're not expecting right now, but we problably will get some spillover from what I like to call the "Kim community", and all that. But I dont think the spillover will be too bad, because Bungie has done such an exellent job at not putting too much publicity into Halo 2 Vista (I think they do it on purpose so the noobs will leave us alone) that most of the community will be us and the people too cheap to buy an Xbox.

Honestly I could not give a $hit about my Gamerscore. If you don't want to pay fifty dollars a year for something you can already do with a computer, I respect your decision. I wouldn't harass you at all about that.

I really don't care about my 360 as much as I do my power-tower.

No. You clearly do not understand bias. If I had an experiment about the way bread moved when I let go of it, I would get results on the side of moving down, yet they would not be biased. If you asked every person whether h2xbox or h2v was better, you would get an answer. If it leaned towards h2v, h2xbox or they were the same it would still be unbiased because everyone was asked their opinion. However, if you only ask 1 person which is better, you only get 1 out of 6 billion people's opinion and therefore a biased answer.

I'd say Halo 2 Vista because you will be able to mod it to make it more like the first game.

You can do that with the one on Xbox, but its frowned upon. ;(

Not necessarily. It's just that the vast majority of Xbox gamers tend to group the terms modding and cheating together.

2. This is a Halo PC forum. Do you honestly think someone will say that Halo 2 Xbox is better?


I will :D

  • 02.28.2007 12:45 PM PDT

Hello! Star Wars FTW. Also, join the MAW group. Please?

HOW THE HELL WOULD WE KNOW you guys have been hanging H2Vista over our heads for forever! It was supposed to come out in november with vista but they pushed vista back so now you won't even tell us the release date! Bungie has plenty of loyal PC fans, but they still seem to hate us. Looking forward to the 2015 release of halo 3 for the PC, becuase that is probably what is going to happen. And if XBox gamers get halo 3 before PC gamers get halo 2, i will be pissed. At this point im probably not even going to get H2vista. Oh, and on another note, microsoft makes more money for each copy of vista they sell than each XBox 360, as it cost them about a thousand dollars to make each 360, and at tops ten for vista, so why won't they release halo 3 on the PC?

You say bias like it's a bad thing on it's own. I myself am very biased against being shot in the head.

You're forgetting the people who don't own Vista, or simply won't care for Halo 2. Like Nessy.

Theres no point to a clearly biased poll. People are biased, surveys don't and shouldn't be.

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 agree with you

I think that vista will turn out better. I agree with the majority of the positive comments about H2V, but i think that, from the pics, it doesnt look like it has the same 'atmosphere' as Halo 2 on Xbox.

P.S If you want to get the most out of the game, get it as soon as possible, because about a year after the game is out and prices have dropped, the 13 year olds with 8 year old brains will slowly appear (just hope they haven't got headsets...)

I think Halo 2 on vista owns the Halo Series so far at least until Halo Wars and Halo 3 comes out
