Just asking about if this game has many gamers on multiplayer? Cause if there ain't I'm gonna have to go to WoW and I'm dead serious about that.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

If you consider 50-100 players "alive" then enjoy. I assume WoW has many thousands. Even Halo PC has nearly 2 thousand active players.

H2v is such crap, don't bother.

Kindly refrain from Frog-Blasting my Ventcore.

While I haven't gotten around to playing the game yet, from what I've heard, there are still quite a few people on, and I'm sure the numbers will go up over the next year or so as people get better computers.

Whenever I'm on there's always a few crowded games to join....atleast in the more popular game-types.

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.

During non-school times (generally summer and winter break), it's really active, but right now it's not incredibly active. Even during "after school" hours, there's only a moderate amount of players on at one time. And just a few days ago, an update to "Games for Windows - Live" was released, so a lot of dedicated servers that are usually full at peak hours have automatically shut down until the update is applied to the computer that hosts it.

H1 and Halo Custom edition name: madkiller92

It gets 30-70 people, if lucky, 100+. It's decent, DX tweaker with surreal effect makes it look quite nice, too.

And why are there new sub-ranks? I haven't gone on bungie.net for a few weeks.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

The game died when CAL shutdown all halo 2(pc and xbox) tournaments. That was over a year ago.

Giggity Giggity Goo - Quagmire

Yeah, I just got a new vista computer, and I installed it, but my graphics card is a integrated nVidia 6150 Geforce 410 graphics card, so even with graphics all the way on low, its a little jerky.

It will be fun if they don't screw it up yet again.
