Dumbass

Just kidding. No, you don't need to pay for a Gold membership for any Windows Live game unless you want to play again XBox 360 users and since Halo 2 isn't an XBox 360 title, there is no point.

Playing against other PC players is free for all Windows Live games

If you want to host a server, or join a peer-hosted game, then yes, you do have to pay. Without paying, you can only play on the dedicated servers.

Wow. Please. Have you even played the game yet..? Have you even looked at other peoples feedback on the subject (people who actually have the game)? I've already played the game over at a friends house, from what I have learned and seen, I will be sticking to Halo 1. If you actually PLAYED the game, you would already know this. Stop relying on a site that's JOB is to make everything about it look good. It says voice chat is free, but everyone already knows only Gold people can do that. Don't spread your idiocy into making people buy something that they end not getting, ignorant fool.

Also Nitrous, a person at Hired Gun, has already CONFIRMED this at h2vista.net. If your worried about legitimacy, then pick the game up yourself.

Of course I've played the game though I did misunderstand what he said (I thought he said you couldn't join any dedicated server games)

No idea. Joining a peer game is something no one does even with Counter-Strike.

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.

I join peer games all the time.
