You can play for free. But you have limited options. All you can do is play on dedicated servers.

For $50 a year, $15 every 3 months, or $8 a month, you get a gold account, which allows you to use quickmatch, filter game browsing, create your own games, and join other games that players created. I also think you can only use voice chat with a gold account.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

If you allready have an Xbox Live Gold Account on your 360, then use that.

A silver LIVE account is free and will allow you to browse and join dedicated servers.

You can also send and receive text and voice messages to other LIVE friends. Thats where it ends.

The Gold account allows you to join user created servers

--Send and reply to join requests to friends

--Filter the server list (I find it absurd you have to pay to filter the server list.)

--Use Quick Match which is a feature that puts you into a match with more people or your friends. Not sure how it works but needs to be fixed because it sometimes puts you in Empty servers.

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

If you can't afford $50 a year, what are you doing playing video games in the first place?

I'd rather spend $50 for a game, not game filtering and voice chat for 2 games.

Halo PC also averages insane lag for no apparent reason, while Halo 2 Vista is relatively lag-free, or when there is lag, it's tolerable. Don't let me stop you if you like laggy gameplay, though. =D

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Come on! Let's not go too far away with this argument! Why shall we not sit down, grab a sip of coffee, and play some Halo PC?

No...hoes are garden tools used for loosening of soil. Hos, however, are people.

Yea. No matter where I go, I'm always the token smartass. Or the token guy-who-can-speak-English. And btw, if I could play H2V, and I had the money to pay, I probably would do it, just because I'm always so bored that even bugged-out multiplayer games are fun.

It's not wrong. Given that Bungie offers quite a variety of things on their dedicated servers, for the most part you can play what you want, it just may not be on the map you prefer, but if you're patient the server will loop maps until it gets to something you want. You can't get Multiplayer achievements without Gold membership status anyway, so just go ahead and pay the fifty dollars. Economically speaking 50 dollars for a year is not that bad... I mean, compare this to 15 dollars a month for those MMORPG games, and we're getting a bargain.
