All throughout this forum, the cry rings: "H2V sucks", "its a horrible game", "why would anyone want to buy such crap". I bought vista for H2V, and even though my graphics are on the lowest settings, they dont look much worse than the xbox. That is the only problem i have with it. I am hugely satisfied with the gameplay experience. It is awesome to get a miracle stick, assasinate the sword, beat down the shotgun-wielding overshield, noscope someone in the face, etc. I think it is an excellent game, I am just curious about why so many have such problems with it.

Because people didn't like the Xbox version because it was a crapified Halo? I dunno.

The majority of people here are just the winers of the community. People that don't have any problems and love the game don't complain here about it.

On the flipside however, it is a port of a 3 year old Xbox game considered to be a letdown back then. It has piss-poor optimization, and forces you to buy Vista/Live with the game and all 3 are buggy as hell.

As for me, I loved the Xbox version and enjoy the Vista port. I liked the gameplay and it's still there in Vista, so that's all I care about.

The Xbox version wasn't that bad.

I can include myself in the crowd who loves both the xbox and PC version. In truth I think the PC version is better. It runs at a higher frame rate and seems more responsive.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Just remember, the majority of the people claiming it is a bad game don't actually own it.

I expected Kim to respond by now, must be to busy playing Gears. hehe.
And, yeah, I agree with you Static, I myself don't own it, but find it to be a fairly entertaining game, in some aspects better than the Xbox version, but in some aspects, not so much, but it is what it is.

I simply hated it because it was impossible for me to get into a server. The downtime didnt help but I'm satisified because it actually works now. Think I could convince them to give me my free month back because it would take 20 mins to finally get into a server that would kick me off 5 mins later with a random disconnect of LIVE for the full month minus a day?

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.

My system meets the requirements and I have 2 problems. The game runs choppy in single player and on some multiplayer maps, and the mouse sensitivity randomly changes during play. I'm guessing it's the auto-aim kicking in because I have a controller plugged in.

The only problem I have with it are the vehicles. Other than that I think the game play both single player and multiplayer are great. I think the Legendary mode on the PC version is MUCH harder than on the Xbox version which made it even more fun to play.

As far as the vehicles go, they are all slow and cumbersom as compared to vehicles in the original Halo. I'm a tank whore in Halo and even though they added the ability to strafe in the tank for H2, it is so slow and hard to turn it's not even worth using. Not to mention the homing rockets.

Only because it's relatively new and there aren't many people playing it. Wait until after the first of the year when more people have Vista and then you'll see a lot more people playing.

Oh wait I wasn't talking about the vista H2 community, there great (for the most part) I was talking about the xbox H2 community.

Haha, that couldn't be farther from the truth, although I did play some Gears yesterday. I just didn't bother replying to this thread before.

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

Does your mouse have a control panel? Logitech mice come with control panels, which carry their own sensitivity.
