I haven't played either, and I want to buy at least one of them. They both look like a hell of a lot of fun though, and I don't know which one to get. What are the pros and cons of the two, and which one do you guys like better?

I'd say both are worth it because they're both the same great game, although halo 1 has more popular online. The pro's of each are they are great games, fun to play, and cheap to buy and the con's are with h1 the lag and h2 is vista only and requires you to sign in with a windows live account(not necessarily a con). But if you have vista, then get both of them. If you don't, get halo 1.

H1 and Halo Custom edition name: madkiller92

Get halo PC if you going to download Halo: Custom Edition.

If not, just get H2.

Get halo PC. The only advantage of halo 2 was that you can play it online, but halo PC solves that.

Halo PC, by far. Much more flexibility than Halo 2 in terms of custom maps and mods.

This was explained in another topic as well as many others. But the thing with playing on XP is that there are some gliches at times that would not happen in Vista which is why its a Vista title. Cracks are coming out all the time but don't crack them 100 percent. But yeah check out youtube, tons of tutorials

I know you can play it on XP. I just called it H2Vista because that's what the game is called.

I'll probably go with Halo PC then. My friend has the trial version and he says it's a lot of fun, and the only map available for him is BG. And some of the Halo Custom maps I've seen are amazing.

Alright. Thanks guys.

Just expect to have to host yourself and/or gather friends beforehand if you want to get a good game going on most of the good custom maps out there.

Halo PC easily. Not only is it addicting but I've had a lotta trouble from Halo 2. Not only do you need a good graphics card for good play (doesn't come standard on most PCs) but I tried running a server once and my Product key got jacked. So now I can't install Halo 2 on another PC and I can't run a server after updating windows one day and got a "Too many servers on this product key" error.

Check out my halo custom edition single player level!
Right here: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=23968369

I can't say much about the MP of the games, because I only play SP.
But if you're looking to make your own maps, halo PC has MUCH more options then halo2.

At least at the moment. I think there are some guys working on an improved H2EK though.
