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

Seriously, I'm tired of all the threads complaining about how H2V won't work on your system or how much you hate it. No one cares! If you can't handle a computer, go do something else, read, go to parties, just stop complaining.

Especially if you know you computer is below minimum specs and you ask anyway if you can run the game, that stupid. Same goes for those kids with C2D's and 8800's asking if they can get a framerate estimation.

Stop crying about the game being Vista exclusive! You don't have to buy it and in complaining you make yourself look like a total loser with too much time on his hands and nothing else to do except moan about the latest Microsoft product? Don't like Vista? Go use Mac OS, or some distribution of Linux. You're not hurting Microsoft's sales by pirating either.

When you come here and lament about this and that, you sound like overgrown kids who need to be silenced. Please, for the sake of the community, suck it up and be a man because The Maw is not your personal blog.

they could make a sticky for all H2V problems. To quote Nigel from "Devil Wears Prada" -

"You are not trying, you are whining."

I dont mean to make asking for help sound like whining but is there a fix not being able to connect to any server even when LIVE is up?
Firewall is ok, it connects to a game sometimes.
My specs are well above the min. requirements.
Internet is stable and I play other games on it without a problem.

Well, Vincent5, there are plenty people out there who have decent computers and know how to use them, but still can't get H2V to work on their systems. H2V is just too buggy. Some people actually have legitimate problems.

I'm going to have to agree with the OP here. Customers complaining about how they got the shaft on a product they bought and expected to find more then just two new maps should silence themselves. There's nothing worse then showing a powerhouse company like Bungie that they just can't s*** out PC ports and expect for us to eat them up like candy. So kids, if you know what's good for you, hold your tongue and continue to buy Bungie products without a word of protest; you're their real fans! And Bungie loves their fans, especially the PC ones, which is why we got so much loving from H2V.

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.

Excuse me, but this forum is for discussing Halo 1 and 2 for PC, including help getting it running. You're way out of line with that comment.

What exactly is Anti Aliasing? I know it seems to effect performance most on many games.

You can find just about anything on Wikipedia dude. You should use it for more than just researching your favorite pr0nstars.

And what I like about this community is the help it receives from other members too

that's what this is for, discussing halo/halo 2 pc, as well as a mini-tech-support.

Yeah, I like that too, I just don't like when someone comes in here asks for help and then arrogantly puts down those that try to help them. That makes me the most angered.

So, how does whining and complaining about the whining and complaining solve the problem of the whining and complaining? Whining and complaining about the whining and complaining is still just whining and complaining.

An observation is not a complaint. Learn the difference.

Ah the irony, whinging about whinging.....

I'm sorry, but your original post was not an observation. It was a complaint. Your thread title was not an observation, it was a complaint.

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.
