I know some of you think that H2V was a complete waste of your money some think its just lacking and others are happy/fine with it. i think it was a good first try but after a few updates it will be great and since bungie cant play H2v all day to test it them selves we will have to let them know what we as the public think of it.

Complaints I have with the game.
Dedicated server. i can understand putting the Actual game on vista but vista is a terrible server os and the fact that it HAS to be on vista is terrible.
Quickmatch. i really expected to have it JUST like the xbox quickmatch. not where it just joins you into a game that was already started.
Rankings?. where are they? this is something i liked about halo 2 it should really be in H2V

all in all i just expected it to be more like Halo 2 for xbox.

compliments I have for the game.
Compared to halo for xbox it is more responsive cleaner. im sure this will change depending on people(s) hardware and components.

Ideas for this game.
fix all my complaints. =p

however i may only have 1 compliment compared to 3 complaints i do think that this game is an excellent add on to bungie's line of games.

FEEL free to post your compliments, complaints & ideas.

Let there be CHAOS!

Things that should have been in the game or are just missing:
-Matchmaking
-Ranks
-Clan support
-Stat tracking

Bugs/glitches/general problems:
-The text chat is just FUBAR.
-Crouch doesn't work unless you release the forward key.
-Sometimes the server browser doesn't list any servers.
-Achievements are messed up... sometimes they don't register apparently.
-Many are having a hard time running this game when they shouldn't.
-All glitches from H2X remain.
-Dedicated server won't connect for some people.
-Some people are unable to sign into Live altogether (many, it seems).
-Some weapons have a higher firing rate than they did in the xbox version.
-Sometimes peices of the level geometry on the side of your screen will disappear allowing you to see through them.
-Sometimes lighting effects can be seen through walls (like the plasma pistol charging up).
-There's not very good support for widescreen resolutions.
-Very weak graphics tweaking options
-There's no option to change the volume of the sound/music individually.
-Having no text chat in the postgame carnage report is a little annoying.

Ideas:
-Create an amazing patch to fix everything listed here.

Compliments:
-If you can run on high, there are some higher res textures here and there.
-If your machine can handle it, you can run at a much higher resolution than the Xbox.
-Woot, mouse/Keyboard support.
-Achievements are cool I guess.

There's more, but I'm too lazy to type up any more, lolz.

definatly a great start.
keep em coming how is bungie going to fix a problem if they dont know about.

Bungie treats PC gamers like dirt, so they couldn't care less about this game. There is also no way of contacting Hired Gun about these problems, so we will just have to hope that a miracle happens, and they fix this game somehow.

ok my complaint is that halo2 vista sucks and is so flawed that their is a bar through its chest. modern fps's on the pc are just plain better and halo2 vista is. well NUBBY. Cs pwnes it on the pc. Dod pwnes it. Hl2 pwnes it. "WoW" pwnes the living crap out of it. and when your paying for "WoW" at least your paying for something that is worth wasting your time unlike H2 V. Yes it is a faliure compared to the sucessfull console version. Halo Ce kicks its ass and that one was done by Gear box. WTF?

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
(Led Zeppelin were the original Halo fans)

Great list, even though I don't personally feel we need H2X style matchmaking and ranks.
The rest hits it perfectly.

A couple other bugs I'd like to add:
- Sometimes the servers don't display a score/timer indicator for the entire match.
- Quick match loves to drop people into empty servers.

Complaints:
- Almost every default server is 16 player. 16 player matches on small maps are painful.
- Default server playlists and variants are crapola.
- No ability to see full servers, the browser only displays servers with open slots.

Ideas:
- For the love of god, add clan support (yeah I know listed in the original list but I'm adding it again for emphasis.) Forcing people to get a different live account with a different gamertag for clans is a poor 'workaround'.
- Diversify the servers. For example, make some servers only slayer/team slayer, pick maps accordingly, and limit the total number of players so it's not a complete flustercuck.
- Add the ability to show or hide full servers.

Ah, I forgot about some of those. There's just too many problems to keep track of...
