I have Halo for Xbox, Halo 2 for Xbox, Halo for PC and the Custom Edition for PC. I downloaded those new Halo 2 mods for the PC custum edition, and it was a great effort, but they are still uncomparable to the actualy Halo 2 game itself.

They aren't bad, I'll give it that, but not even close to the actual game. If you are thinking about getting them - I would wait until it comes out for PC, because it is a totally different game, and will throw you off come time you are playing the actual Halo 2 game.

well they are trying to make halo2 on the halo1 game engine
if gearbox/bungie/microsoft released the source for halo1pc they could have easily made halo2 for the PC
basically all they are doing is tricking the game engine into things so it appears to do things like in halo2
the real reason for haloCE is to create and play user made content and maps

And what so sad is it isn't going to get better. Until Bungie and Microsoft learns the concept of mods and of supporting their PC gaming community, this is probably the best you'll ever see.

Heyyo,

It's pretty good yes, a great mod effort. It ain't exactly halo2, but it ain't crap either. I say gj on the mod, it's fun, but there are changes still to be made. Stuff like: the ghost is now pretty useless, you can run over guy's, but it takes multiple attempts to kill them.

I noticed a bit of clipping problems with the shotgun reloading too.

Gauss cannon hog is really powerfull, I'd say just a bit too much.

They fixed the battle rifle probs and the smg probs, so gj on that.

Ya know? after playing Halo1, and Halo2CE, and Halo2 for $box? I like the Halo1 hud the most. I like seeing my health bar up there in the top right, and it's bigger so it's more noticeable. Yeah, for Halo2 they made it less obtrusive, but that's also a prob cause now I keep forgetting where my health is, and run into combat not knowing my sheilds aren't fully up.. I don't rely on just sounds, sounds don't say how charged my sheilds are, they only give approximates (by beeping..).

The pistol's useless just like Halo2.. *sighs* I guess the battle rifle will be my new fav weapon... but it's pretty weak too, much weaker than the Halo1 pistol for sure. Interesting how mc would downgrade from a great pistol, to a mediocre battle rifle. ^_^

I say, this mod's like, Halo 1.5... complete with the unoptimized and bad netcode that plagues HaloPC and CE... hopefully Project Torlan hits stronger than this one..
