Halo 2 and 3 both stink out loud.
In the immortal words of Mr Horse: Halo 2? No sir, didn't like it.

Just logged in, 30 people total, all CTF.

It's so much better than Halo PC as far as lag etc. If only we could convince people to switch.

Unbalanced, freakin' huge ass maps, and some crapass kid's imagination weapons? No, it's not "better".
30 people? As far as I know, that's been the total all these years (besides the occasional high peaks).

Ok, let me rephrase "better". There is less lag. I just want to play the original maps/weapons without the laaaaaaag and warping.
I did say "as far as lag", not "thos Ub00r k00lz wepenz"...

I hear ya though about the other stuff, dang kids. ;)

If the other stuff is keeping people away, then I understand. Maybe I'll start up a dedicated server.

Yeah it was like this last night too. So either I have no life and want to play on Saturday nights and not other people do, or there is no one on Halo Custom Edition. I'll try later today during the times you mentioned.

RE: H2V, if you could make it more like Halo:CE I might entertain getting it, but it's Halo 2 w/ a map editor. If you could tweak weapons etc to get a more Halo 1 feel I might be interested... No doubt the Halo 1 maps will show up if they haven't already.

Does H2V have a lot of custom options??

I'm sorry if we both misunderstood, eh, but I never said YOU thought that way...I merely said WHY most of the community thinks CE is what it turned out to be. =/ But yeah, partly my fault for accidently making you a "target" of my verbal flames.
But yeah, less lag, but what most people play these days are the infamous Coldsnap and Hugeass...oh man...

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.

Hey, we run maps like No Remorse and Tensity, darnit!

I just registered here. I made a couple maps for CE back in the day. Was thinking of making some for H2V but not real happy with the online play right now. Been playing for the last couple days and lots of kills not given and some people seem to be able to take more damage? full clip and hit with weapon and they don't die? NOT saying cheat but something is going on. the online play seems alot less accurate then single player?

To be honest I liked HALO 1 pc better for online play. Seemed smoother and more skill oriented. H2V seems to be an all out run and gun till death which is why I don't play UT. Halo 1 vehicles made a diff. H2 they blow up almost as soon as you jump in them? Maybe I am just not used to it yet but so far I am not impressed! I did like H2 on my xbox when I had LIVE. but the mic and headset made the diff. H2V no one uses mic and teamwork is just never there. Hopefully as more people get vista and more people get H2V we will get some good team play going on more servers.

Have you played the map extinction? With pelicans, jets, and a scarab it is so much better

This is what Kevin is talking about. Those maps are way too big for a balance of vehicluar and on-foot combat.

Don't forget the giant mechs and warthogs without mounted weapons.

Seriously, those maps fail.

Glad to hear they did a faithful translation to the PC. You just described H2 on the xbox. Nothing was more frustrating than playing Halo 2.

heh, it's cool. I can see why'd you might want to vent.

I gotta admit, I almost lost my lunch when I read Hugeass. Is that *really* a map name? hahaha, that probably sums up the CE experience I bet.
