Ok well i've always been competitive since H1 release on the Xbox then H2 came out I loved it so much. Then yet again H3 came out WTF!? dear god this game is "Hyper Balanced." The game is poor for competitive gaming and the ranking system is random, but anyways i have been kindof beat down from going back on the xbox version of H2 because there only like 2,000 players and i was wondering if the vista community is any bigger and is there a matchmaking system?

One last question i heard the map maker isn't the greatest but is it descent?

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

If you want to play it for SP then yea, but the community is really small.

You are like the 4th person to ask specifically "is it worth it?" about halo 2 vista. What's with the huge influx in the past 2 weeks?

Jesus loves you, but everyone else thinks you're a twat.

iv picked up halo 2 vista not to long ago. graphical are for sure sharper then the xbox version and it also runs much smoother (if your computer has the hardware to do so).

there is always people playing online but the match making system isnt at the same level as the xbox version, it will only find people to play with but not people your skill level.

the map maker is the same as the one with halo ce.
i case you dont know what its like there are a few things u need to know.
you will need a 3rd party modeling program to make your levels. so knowledge of modeling is needed, also basic knowledge of how games are made, texture terms like bump maps, norm mapping and so on.

also halo 2 vista doesnt seam to have the cheating program like the xbox.


p.s
hock up your xbox 360 consoler to your computer, u will find that you can play much better with it then the mouse. first game i played i manage to get 15kills with out dieing

As a person that has owned H2V, I can not whole-heatedly recommend it. At all.

But I'll say this: If you do get the game, and if you look past some of its [sometimes major] flaws, you'll still find yourself in a fun game of Halo 2 [most notably 8 vs. 8 CTF on Coag'... just like the old days of Custom Games] =]

If money is no issue for you, and you love Halo 2, I'd see no reason why not to get it. Otherwise, no.
