Multiplayer:  43%

Total Votes: 37

I'm at a loss over how I should start my Halo 2 Vista experience. I've already beaten the campaign God knows how many times on the Xbox--should I choose to jump right into multiplayer? Or should I just play the missions again to experience it with the mouse and keyboard?

This is, of course, after I've changed all the settings to my desire and whatnot.

Go straight to multiplayer. Make a montage of noobs running around trying to BXR. =D

Another thing--when that day comes, what shall our first game together as the Maw community be? Coagulation, CTF? Lockout, FFA slayer? I want us to choose how we will spend our first memorable moments in H2V.

Haha, Master Kim, you got too much time on your hands to be worrying about these things. I'd say play the Campaign, just to familirize yourself with the controls scheme, and feel of it.
As for first map: Coagulation. Just because it is the closest thing to blood gulch. :D

Personally, I'm starting with campaign, but mostly because I'm a achievement whore. I could always say it's to get used to the controls. First multiplayer map I'll be running is one of the two new ones.

I'll be sure to do that when I start multiplayer. Campaign shouldn't take that long, so I'll probably have some recording posted by the end-a May. How many n00bs do you think we'd find?

aka lino4

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

I'm doing campaign first because there's some story details I need to fill in.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but did you really have to post this?


Question: does it really matter if you choose Campaign or Multiplayer first... I mean really?

Bungie Jumping, we both know your thread and my thread are asking two different questions--you didn't even need the poll to begin with (or at least have all those poll choices).

You should start by making some kind of Godly map based on your mom.

Absolutely true... (although it's a bit obvious they are asking 2 different questions) I try not to think about that whole endevour :-P

But I just think it's ironic that you make a "personal" (in the sense that it relates to you) poll when you usually flame/discourage those who do the same.

Probably a lot older than you, kid.

Anyway, about that map thing, it would tie in with multiplayer, so I may as well vote that.

It's funny you should say that... I remember the good old C&C Generals user created map that featured a beautiful woman with... um... revealing assets (the map too!) =D

Yeah, perhaps I should have rephrased the poll question: "What are you going to do when you first load up Halo 2?"

should have phrased that differently... 'what's your intellectual level? It seems deceptivly low when you start talking about someone else's mother...

Since you've alredy played the campain, you should probably save campain for later and hop right in to multyplayer. I'll do campain first, since i've only played a couple of levels.

Ahhh, if only my comptuer had Vista and if it could run it...

Skip the god-awful campaign, and do what the other guy suggested and make a montage of noobs trying to FRLeft click.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Campaign! I don't know why, but that's what I would do.

I'll probably go into an empty lan server, check out the new maps, graphic features, then go to Campaign, but won't play multiplayer until I'm atleast 1 hour into the game itself.

  • 04.23.2007 9:03 PM PDT

Campaign will be different with mouse and KB. Unless, of course, you have an XBOX 360 Contreoller. Experience and play around.

k, since ive never played H2 campaign and i really want to, i will do what i did in H1. i will play campaign before i play multiplayer. i couldent beat campaign when i first got H1 cause of my intergrated GPU and i might have a GPU problem with H2V. i might need to upgrade to the 7800GS before i beat it :(

  • 04.23.2007 10:52 PM PDT

I'd go with campaign, mainly because you will probably need to familiarize your self with the controls, okay, so you've been playing halo 1 for a long time, but I was amazed at the difference between halo 1 for the xbox and halo 2 for the xbox. at least, that's what I'd do.

Campaign levels Cairo/Outskirts/Metrapolitis, because those levels are early and earthly (well, Cairo is human at least) to get used to the controls. Then play MP.
