to answer your question i have to say maybe no one plays halo 2 vista anymore!

This is an old account iDarkWint3r is my new Bungie.net user.

Actually there are alot out there play Halo 2 Vista.However,The population is lack,Due to a specific reason such as a Freebie - Those who want exclusive games and content free.It's just a $33.00 purchased game.Of course,Everyone like Ark angel 14 reluctantly thinks that his hypothesis generally speaking is that "Halo 2 Vista is not worth buying if your planning to".That is Strictly wrong.It's just due to lack of population and fun.Since,there aren't much pros in the game itself.But the Campaign is playable which also contains more featured content than the Xbox game itself.And the capability to download exclusive maps from other users.And the creativity structures the maps.Which you can find hidden easter eggs and many new glitches and hidden spots.Halo 2 Vista is a well polished game,Except for the Sufficient lag in the game.
However,At Monstrmoose.com their forums has a downloadable free content able to contain the lag a stable amount.I know this is a really descriptive response of your post.But,Just don't rant on me for being TOO specific about the game itself.I just don't like people ranting on me.

THERE IS NO MLG IN HALO 2 VISTA, NO GAMEBATTLES NO "PROS" Halo 2 vista is a giant, -blam!- pile. I'd rather play Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 2, 2142 and Bad Company. F.E.A.R Multiplayer is Free and is better than Halo 2 Vista

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

Halo 2 Vista is the best game ever with lots of pros. But you have to use the controller and the built in auto aim or your computer self destructs.

  • 06.22.2009 1:27 PM PDT

Jesus this turned into a blam pile.

as a proud owner of Halo 2 PC i will also say:

-who the hell cares that MLG doesnt play this?
-You do NOT NEED A CONTROLLER, its optional.

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.

Try using the mouse when you have a fast video card. Slowwwwwww as rat -blam!-.

I'm guessing it's a problem with the input code. The higher your framerate goes, the less responsive the mouse gets. You can turn on VSync, but that makes the input lag (slght delay between moving mouse or analog stick and seeing subsequent movement in game).

Another thing that happens at high framerates is you move slower. If Hired Gun had capped the framerate at 30 FPS like the Xbox version, none of these problems would be present.

Another case of trying to get the most money for the least effort.

Long live the MAW.

This thread gave me a good laugh.
As LoneStaruner has said, Halo 2 Vista doesn't have many people because:

-There are ALOT of better games to play (Check Lonestaruner's list)
-Complete lack of support
-Hacks/Glitches are in, fair play is out
-Port is one of the worst in history ('press a button to continue' in a god dammed PC game?)
-Vista only

Due to the reasons listed, I wouldn't be surprised if there are no servers at all.

Seems to me that ItsNOTJohnson is trying to convince himself he didn't waste his money on Halo 2 Vista. Hell, most of what he spews is downright lies.
there are alot out there play Halo 2 Vista
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the thousands of TF2 servers still going. Hell, Mods to Battlefield 2 have more servers then Halo 2 does. Halo 2 vista's 100 people (max) is NOTHING.

It's just due to lack of population and fun.Since,there aren't much pros in the game itself.But the Campaign is playable which also contains more featured content than the Xbox game itself.

Lack of population I've already explained.
Not much pros....OH LAWDS.
If I wanted a game for the campaign, I'd play Half Life 2 for a real campaign experience

And the capability to download exclusive maps from other users.And the creativity structures the maps.Which you can find hidden easter eggs and many new glitches and hidden spots.Halo 2 Vista is a well polished game,Except for the Sufficient lag in the game.

Most games made in the last 5 years are quite capable of downloading 'exclusive' maps from users. Now here is what really gets to me; he's calling Halo 2 Vista a well polished game....Please, remove head from ass and try that again, ItsNOTJohnson. Please, for the sake of my brain not melting...

If you don't like people 'ranting on you', then you have two options:
1- Never come here again (EVER)
2- Learn how to utilize good grammar structure, learn how to not spread self-righteous propaganda, stop lying to yourself (and us), and reintroduce yourself to the community.

With all regards,

I definitely wasted my money on H2v, I can admit that just fine. Might just be the worst game purchase decision I have made in many years. That's why I won't buy Microsoft games anymore. They can suck it. Controller auto-aim, terrible mouse lag problems, unpolished menus that were copy paste from Xbox. The entire job was half ass and for the console kiddies. Instead of making a PC port, they made a console clone that runs on a PC. And then to seal the deal, they ran away from the mess they created and never fixed it. Boo.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Hey guys, lay off Johnston. Being "pro" at Halo 2 Vista is great if you could never hope to be good at a REAL FPS.

This is an old account iDarkWint3r is my new Bungie.net user.

Why are you quarreling against my opinion of the game itself.Do I have to say "In my opinion" in the reply.And do not lecture me about what should I do and cannot do.And talking about "Grammar".Yes,I do believe grammar is important in life.I respect all your opinions and all that crap.But why the hell not?I have been debating on my behalf in this forum like 7 months.And your the one screaming at me saying that:"I should never post on this forum."When a guy in bungie.net was literally stalking me reluctantly in my own forums.My Tendency on this forum was to help others if they have any problems or give my hypothesis,facts and opinions.All I continue to deal with is Negativity,Debating and Stalkers.So can you just leave me alone,I had enough of this bickering of yours.If it continues,Then I shall not reply.

Well Johnston, this forum is extremely critical of opinions and grammar. Take a look at the thousands of flamewars in Optimatch and then tell me that you are being singled out for abuse.

Every post I've seen by you is completely nonsensical, either posting your own biased opinion of H2V, or flat-out lying about something you know very little about. Also, your grammar and sentence structure are very poor in all your posts.

We're not doing it on purpose, its just that no one can understand, or agree with, what you post. I don't encourage this type of 'calling out people' since I've just completely derailed this thread by replying to you. But, it's to be expected when you come to an anonymous, public forum sporting a very narrow opinion (that few agree with) and you can't type in grammatically correct paragraphs.

You have the right to post what you want, but don't expect to be universally praised for what you type here.

Yes,I respectfully agree that my poor grammar structures are poor.

Simple as this; What you posted was leaning towards fact more than opinion. When you start posting facts that just aren't true, the sharks come out to feed. Welcome to the internet.

As for asking you to leave (Wait, you think I was 'screaming'?), you forgot to look at option 2. Unless you quit lying and posting completely bias material, your posts are junk and you'll ALWAYS get flamed, no matter what you post. That was my point, that all this 'negativity' is because most of what you say is bull-blam!-! You act as if you're a victim, while really you've been bringing this upon yourself.

Desert Fox's quarrel was much like my own, at least I think so, and you can call me whatever the hell you want. I remember you constantly calling him a stalker, probably because you had nothing to say in your defense.

Please, this time read my post before replying. If you don't reply, see to it I care, I've made my point.
