1 is for the PC, the other is for xbox.

1 sucks and one sucks more.

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.

Carbine has faster rate of fire.

From what I know:

* Some sounds are totally redone. Like, the Ghost's boosts sounds totally orgasmic
* Changed the Plasma Rifle/Ghost/Banshee bolts to look really awesome
* Carbine fires much faster. I know most people will say "it's because you can click a mouse faster than pressing a trigger on the controller". That's not the case, and it really does fire faster - I've tested.
* All glitches are still intact (except for Super Bouncing, I believe), like having a turret blow up, but still be able to shoot it, or flying out of the level with the Banshee in Headlong
* Much, nicer, scrisper textures. If you have a good GFX card, you're in for a treat.
* Two new levels: Uplift and District.

Basically, everything plays exactly the same as Halo 2 on the Xbox. Bottom line: Carbine fires faster, higher texture resolutions, and improved sound effects. Campaign, and Multiplayer are exactly the same.

That's about it.

I paid $20 for my H2 Vista which was a better investment than the $130 for the stupid helmet I have sitting next to my HDTV. I made no mistake buying H2 for Vista. I dont feel bad about it. And H2 Vista is still better than Halo 3. Game play is what matters. And H2 still plays better than H3. Hands down. No Contest.

I have both of them and i liked the pc one better. But it won't run that great because my computer sucks, but I did manage to get some achievements though. And the great thing about halo 2 vista is that you can choose what server to join and join games that are already in progress rather than waiting in matchmaking. And even when you use the halo 2 vista matchmaking it'll throw you in a game already in progress aswell. The only downside to it is that there is no ranking system and no stats on bungie.com like the xbox halo's.

The PC versions graphics are improved slightly, and the Magnum and Carbine can shoot extremely fast. There aren't too many people on multiplayer though.

You guys forgot to mention that X-box has about 50,000 people playing at one time and H2V has 50.

No, darthbob, that would make too much sense.
