Subject: Does anybody play Halo 2 Vista?

Just curious because I'm sure about getting it if there aren't many players. Does it take time to get a matchmade game going?

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

There are enough people playing. There is no matchmaking though, just a good old fashioned server browser.

  • 11.19.2007 4:53 PM PDT

Me!

20 players at peak times is not "enough." Do not lie to him for him to buy a horrible port.

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

Halo PC still averages between 1500-2000 players everyday. What is H2V like?

50-80. Pathetic I know, but not as bad as Agamemnon made it out to be and enoug so that there are usually a few 10+ player games worth joining.

And how many don't have cheaters in them; how many aren't heavies only; how many have decent players; how many have full games.

Stop eating the bs Microsoft is feeding you. The game is horrible and stop trying to convince others to make a stupid consumer decision.

Halo 2 only has 50-80 people daily?! Halo1 and even halo custom edition have more.

Comeon Agy, you have to respect his wanting for it to become a bigger community, besides all he wants is to have fun, which I'm sure we all want.

So basically nobody plays this game really...

Try Team Fortress 2. That is the most fun MP game I have played in ages and like 30 bucks off Steam.

NO

Halo2vista, Half-life 2 dm, Gears of war for windows, and Shadowrun(which you can play against 360 owners too) are much better choices.

... yes. I want Gears of Windows, too =[

I swear, you know everyone in H2V. The online population is so small, you almost know everyone personally... even from a few months ago. Me and my friend whom I play it with have a bunch of the same people on our friends lists >_>

  • 11.23.2007 6:54 PM PDT

thanks for the answers. Wakeboy do they really have gears for windows?

I'd be playing if they'd fix the custom keyboard mapping problem. Without it working correctly, it's just unplayable for me. I shouldn't have to re-learn how to play games just because one specific game developer dropped the ball in a massive way. :(

I'd return the game if it hadn't been so long. I guess I just keep hoping for a patch...

  • 11.23.2007 11:25 PM PDT

I'm gonna buy Halo 2 vista somewhere next month or early January so add 1 more for me! LOL!

The game was destined to fail. You can't have fun with restricted content and an incentive to utilize full features with paying a monthly fee. Sorry, I'm not buying into that garbage, and apparently so didn't thousands of others.

Ugh, hell no. Those are actually much worse choices. GoW Vista is full of craptastic bugs and Shadowrun is a joke. HL2DM is CS with some make up. TF2, on the other hand, is at least balanced, albeit nothing has changed from Classic except better graphics. At least TF2 has a community that exists.

Stick to logistics, not zealousness. If you want to be disappointed, buy H2V, GoW Vista, or Shadowrun. If you'd like to enjoy yourself, buy TF2.

I can;t give you a number, all I can say is that if you go online there will be enough servers for you to find one or two decently populated ones that fit your playing style. Now thats a pretty sad number, but if you stick with those one or two servers and stay on them for an hour or two then the lack of people shouldn't bother you.

Aggy, you treat this thing like the devil himself just came down and invaded the planet. It's a game, not a great game sure, but still just a game. Either play it, or don't play it. Recommend it or don't recommend it, but lets not debate on our OPINIONS on something thats completely irrelevant to anything signifigant in the world.

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

Then what PC games are actually good? I only hear which ones are crap, and it's long list.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I think Agy has a thing against all G4WL games. That's why he hates on H2V, Shadowrun, and GoW. All of those are great game IMO, owning them all myself.

H2V always has at least 10-15 games with people in them. I never have a problem finding a fun game to play in.

Shadowrun also always has people on to play with in a full game. IMO, Shadowrun is a brilliant game.

Campaign is good except for the end of the game bungie blew that bigtime!
i don't know about online as WIndows Live is very buggy right now. I have had an ongoing problem trying to play H2 online So far the only answer Microsoft has been able to give is a complete removel of /H2 and reinstalling it. Sigh not going to do it until I finish on hard level 3/4 way throuh right now alredy finished on normal.
They never should have gone to Windows Live it keeps cross connecting me to Live for Xbox! Like I'm going to wastye my time on an Xbox when my PC blows it out of the water in capability.
Hey Bungie release H3 for Vista NOW!

How exactly does expressing the truth equate my hate for a game? GoW Vista and H2V are pitiful ports with minimal effort put into them with countless bugs. They are unfinished, recycled products. If you want to buy a half-grown melon that fell off the back of the truck for the full price of a full-grown market melon, then be my guest. You're the one making the bad decision here, not me.
