If you are content with a simple cheap port job with some added features for Live Anywhere, then be my guest. M$ is dumbing down PC gaming, and I'm not interested really.
I'm with you there, but I already have an Xbox Live account so it kinda doesn't matter to me. :/


Me too, for my 360, which has been giving me the three red lights of death since Sunday. :( Of course, mine is the free sliver account. Like I would give M$ a monthly fee...ha!

#3 I would like it if I can run a dede server on my computer, go in, and play on that server all on one computer.


Then it wouldnt be a dedicated server. The whole point behind dedicated servers is that it dedicates all your resources to the game to make it a smoother experience for those conencting to it.

I dont know if you know it or not but you can still run a server from your computer and play in it...it just wont be dedicated.

yes it would still be a dede server, that is how the Halo CE dede servers are set up, I can have my dede server running, and for a hour or two, I'd join my own server and play some games, and then go back to CAD drafting, or watching videos, listening to music, doing other things on my computer, the dede server never shuts down, until you tell it to. that is the best kind of dede server, one that you can host, and join all on one computer at once.

You never asked. :)

Moot anyway, as my 360 is a brick. Not to get too off topic here, but it was also my HD DVD player, so it sucks 2x. Luckily I have my trust Toshiba HD-A1 and my Matrix HD DVD box set arrived this afternoon so I am ok.

I think the only reason I even have a silver account is to get updates for the console... :)

Back on topic, and a reminder to please keep the Bungie/Hired Gun/Microsoft bashing out of this thread. This thread is for constructive critism of the product we have or are eventually getting so that improvements can be made. If you feel the need to say something about how you think this game sucks etc. etc. etc, find one of the 50 posts in this forum created by arm-chair quarterbacks who don't have a clue what goes into producing and distributing a game and type away. Once you are satisfied that your voice has been heard and the seeds of revolution have sprung forth a movement that will forever alter the face of computer gaming, feel free to exit the MAW making sure that the door does not hit you in the ass on your way out.

Frank don't feel like that was directed at you. I am just frustrated at the amount of negativity and bellyaching going on lately.

It is a bug that occurs because of how the physics engine interacts with any map, revising the maps in order to address current super-bounces (but create a whole new set of super-bounce locations) would not really be a solution at all.



Uh huh. I'm sure that's what it is, because I find lots of superbounces in Oblivion as well.

Yeah, when we run and crouch, make us actually crouch, instead of having to completely stop, then crouch, to become invisible, it kinda ruins the whole purpose.

Two more bug/glitches

1. ACHIEVEMENTS: Ok two achievements are beat level 2 on normal hard or legendary and beat any level on any difficulty without dien. Well i did Level 1 on normal and died (had to adjust game play for memory lag). I did level 2 flawless. no death so logically i should get achievement for lvl 2 and for not dien. I only got lvl 2 achievement. I had to replay level 1 to get the "Demon" achievement for not dien. (Bug is that only one achievement unlocked at the end of a lvl that should have unlocked 2)

2. GAMERTAG/GAMER SCORE: Ok so after getting my new achievements i log onto my 360. My gamertag displace my old achievement score. I go wtf and click on the gamertag. it then shows the new score, i check veiw games halo2 pc is listed, i back all the way out to the main page and it still displays the old score. I log out and log back in and presto the gamerscore is what it should be. (Bug is that the gamerscore doesnt auto refresh when 360 logs in [not a pc bug but a bug none the less] )

I'd like to get confirmation on these before I list them. I actually would have tested it last night on Metropolis if the @#$$%^$ marines didn't run me over with a hog! If anyone else has had this problem let me know.

Yes I have experienced that. When you are running and crouch it doesn't work. If you stop then crouch it will then let you creep forward.

I can give my own experience with the Achievements issue:
Went through Cairo Station, Outskirts and Metropolis on Normal without dying once - didn't get the Demon Achievement.

All halo 1 pc video and audio options need to be available for h2v.
Actual Matchmaking and Rankings just like on h2x instead of this lame quickmatch option. (but sitll allow for casuals to pub and browse games)
Stat Tracker like h2x
Console command for dedicated servers
Hit Registration like in h1. (i dont hink h1x had the hit registration but they included it in h1pc; correct me if i'm wrong).
Fix voice communication even though i turned mine off i'd like to hear people complain without my ears bleeding from all the static.

Other problems i've personally had (will edit when i find more)

sniping at extremely long ranges forces my mouse to jerk as if it had auto aim enabled and would ironically miss. disable this.

Let there be CHAOS!

-360 mic doesn't work with the game.
-Fix the sniper so that it actually hurts the enemy at long distances. Hitting someone in the head 3 times in a row and watching them escape puts me off a bit.

By Chaosenemy: -Fix the sniper so that it actually hurts the enemy at long distances. Hitting someone in the head 3 times in a row and watching them escape puts me off a bit.

This is simply a problem with shot registration. After playing for 2 1/2 years on XBL, you get used to it. Lead your shots a little bit at long range, and you'll have a better chance of them hitting.

Another issue:

Carbine- The carbine shoots significantly more quickly than it does on the Xbox version. No joke. This makes it a bit more powerful than the Battle Rifle, when the two should be basically an equal match.

Well then, this is a good thing, now it's on par with the battle rifle's ability to easily BXR, double-shot, etc..

Slaying noobs since 2007.

I didn't really notice, it is the same when I shoot it, but I guess because I have a quick trigger finger.

PC gamers tend to be quicker on the mouse, if they've ever played UT, CS, Quake, etc.

Co-Op Campaign!
It's not happening. Deal with it.

Yes, yes, cooperative gameplay is quite fun (anybody remember Doom or Quake?), but it's not like every game has or needs it. There are reasons why they didn't enable it for the PC version, it's not as simple as "Hey, let's have two players play on Outskirts over the Internet on a 56K connection!"
