Lol, I just bought mine today-- brand new [factory]-- for $25.95 (shipping included) on ebay... =P

Is it really that bad? The only reason I'm buying it is for its multiplayer. I have it for Xbox, but have neither an Xbox nor a 360 console in my current situation.

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.

I sure think it's that bad.

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

You need 2GB of RAM to make it work. Don't know what Node's problem is.

I also, "sure think it is that bad".

I think i've played it two or three times since the big "ohhh look what's out" feeling and gone back to playing Halo1 online.

Shame really :(

Hello! Star Wars FTW. Also, join the MAW group. Please?

I thought it was fine.

And node, do you hate it becuase you could never get to run, or do you actually hate the game itself?

I think it's a good game when it runs properly.

Its a good game. It just becomes beyond annoying when you get a pop up screen telling you to upgrade to gold live (which i will never do), mouse rates are messy, fov is bad, x to delay server games, and the server browser stinks.

Fix those issues, it could become pc history great with some mods thrown in.

As it stands, its worth about $25 for the single player and shoddy multi.
Very dissapointed that so little support for this game exists and no patch still in sight.

After being an avid PC gamer since the first days of wizardry on my apple II, and doom etc on PC, I am seriously thinking on buyin an xbox 360 and giving in to the dark side. PC gaming has just become such a dissapointment for the most part.

It was enjoyable for me...but ive been playing it now for like 4 months and everyones leaving. there's not even anymore competition anymore. I wish it just had more support from bungie or whoever and that more people would play it. ( by the way i just got un-blacklisted )

fov is bad,


I hadn't really acknowledged that until now, but you are totally right, the fov seems strangely small. It screws me up so bad sometimes and i'm just constantly spinning around trying to find where in hell my enemy is.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

All in all H2 was a total failure on the PC and will be easily forgotten.

A complete failure? That's a little extreme. The only problems with it I can think of is that it's Vista(therefore a small player base) exclusive and is a little buggy, but as more people upgrade to vista there will be more players, and the bugs will be either solved by individuals or patches.

Look at sales, the game is a total failure. Players are not becoming attached to the game, and very few people will go back and buy it just b/c they got Vista. There is very little interest in the game period. Bungie let cheating run rampant on Halo PC, so why would anyone trust that they will maintain the game and keep it cheat free? They won't because Bungie has spread itself way too thin and their talent is grossly overestimated.

I have also gave up. I went back to Halo 1. Halo 2 sucks. Why? because "LIVE" is a rip off. hehehe I will never pay to play a game online thats for sure. Sure u get silver account free ..... big deal! the most I have seen playin Halo 2 on a weekend is 75 players!!! WOW! that alot of people hahahahaha cha right. Hell even Halo 1 have 4-5 times more players than Halo 2. I had Halo 2 for 2 mos. Its just not worth $50 bux. Should have waited when Halo 2 was in the Bargin bin for $10. My loss Microsofts gain!

Enjoy!
