Edable - Not to be mistaken with Edible, you cannot eat me unless i am in pie form, which only happens once every 371 years

i've just bought a good gaming PC and was thinking about buying H2 for PC, do you have to pay to play online or is it free?

It's free, but you miss out on multiple features without a Gold subscription.

I think most people here will advise you to save your money and buy another game. They'd be right to do so.

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

You can't have matchmaking in H2V like there is in H2X.

Also, everything is customs.

I'd just go for Halo (CE) PC, yes. It's far from perfect, but much closer than H2PC will ever get.

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.

At least in Halo 2 you tend you hit what you shoot at. -_-

No, but there's no reason to play it on PC if you have it on xbox...

now if it wasn't for the pay-to-play features and terrible optimization we'd have an actual game on our hands!

To the OP: Pros and cons. H2V has virtually no player base and will probably look worse on your computer, depending on what type of hardware you had.

Too bad Halo CE has a terribad netcode and a ton of hackers.

i loved H2 on xbox, but obviously no-one plays it anymore, i thought people on vista still did. i might just buy crysis or something then?

any suggestions?

From what I hear (note i don't have H2V) it's impossible to get a good game going unless you specifically set one up with others.

Crysis is on sale next week at Circuit City for $20, so I'd wait til then to get it if you are going to.
