Subject: I finally got Halo 2 running!

I just bought and installed a nVidia 8600GT (due to constant errors with my lousy integrated graphics card mostly). Then I noticed Halo 2 in my desk drawer, and remebered I couldn't run it before and decided to see if it ran now.

It ran! And I can even play on full maximum settings :)

I'm going to try online now.

Just checked out the multiplayer... it's kinda small but theres people online, so that's all I care about :)

Just a question, is there any way I can customize my controller's controls? I'm using a PlayStation 3 controller, but since Halo 2 treats it as an Xbox controller, it screws up the controls. Is there any way around that, like some program that can change the controller's key setup or something?

I don't have Live Gold, do a lot of other people have it?

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.

Glad to hear it runs well for you. Have you tried the mouse? How does it work for you?

Halo 2 you should use the controller for unless you have a good mouse. Now for me I have a good mouse but i still use the 360 controller, becuase it works very well.

I have a mental block when it comes to playing FPS games with a controller. I've been practicing for years and I'm still terrible. I can only hold my own with a mouse.

I was rased around the controller, i finally got a computer not even a year ago. I'm extremely good with a controller. I'm pretty good with a mouse and keyboard in fact i like to use it alot, but my controller skills is how i get known.

Same. I've spent loads of hours with the controller, but no matter how much time I spend with the thing I can still never use it.

I'm not alone! Do you have trouble with the mouse in Halo 2, though?

I have trouble with halo 2's controlls so i just use the controller.

I don't have issues with the mouse. But I would like to use a controller :(

And what do you mean that some servers are not listed when browsing for a server?

i mean h2v dosen't sho full severs on browser, and if it goes to 15 or less, to see it you have to use refresh. if it ful then it says, please wait before joining this sever or somthing like that.
and n357, i do have this thing where i can't stop spining, and i have to restart halo 2 5-7 times before it stops.
