Subject: Halo 2 vista online multiplayer is officially death :(

Yes, the halo 2 pc online game experience was great wile it lasted.
We had a small active community like gow pc.

But i must admit that halo 2 vista will be totally death in a few weeks if Microsoft doesn't do anything to help us resolve the issues many have experiences with the players lobby crashing the the game caused by a single person or maybe the live team themselves because of their current updated .

I know you might say that a way around this issues is to go to custom game and set it to show servers only, but there is just not enough servers to hold a lot of people, so everyone online just kind off gave up on the game.

I must say that i am really depress that such a great title will go down the drain just because Micro$soft and Bungie decided not to support us on this one to save the halo 2 vista community.

All we can do right now go back to halo 1 pc/ce, or wait for halo 3 pc to come out if it does :(

R.I.P Halo 2 Vista, 2007 ~ 2009 ;(

Wish Halo 3 PC would come out sooner... :(

I believe Halo 3 PC will be better.
It's Game Engine is great to make custom content on.
I hope they'll give a SDK for the game...no restrictions, all tags ever used in Halo 3 for us all!
they'd better allow this

But I'll say this Halo 2 Vista was already dead even before it got to retail.
no co-op, no ai in multiplayer, no mods and a super restricted map kit.
RIP (crap) Halo 2 Vista. :'(

just look how halo 2 xbox was a good game to play on,
it seems to me the developers are more crappier & stubborn than modders and hackers.

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

H2v multiplayer was dead on arrival in my opinion, but Microsoft has made it worse by ignoring the game over the past year. I just hope people remember this before they are so quick to buy another M$ developed game just because it has the word Halo in it.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

I've seen other "dead" games on live. It isnt dead unless online is dropped, sure it could have only have 1 or 2 players on but ive played games like Burnout 3 like that ("dead" but it has people join it) but it isnt like EA Sports titles (year 2: NO MORE ONLINE PLAY! BUY MADDEN WHATEVER NOW TO GET BACK ONLINE!). Also, he will get bored or will get banned and he will give up. And also, i dont like Halo/CE as it isnt in smooth sync like h2v (only when it is NOT at 30fps.) And i also dont want to play like TF2 as it has mostly achivement n00bs.

In other words, it isnt dead until they shut the live matchmaking servers as there are "dead" games with people on once in a while (burnout 3, battlefront one, etc.)

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.

What servers are you joining? The TF2 community in general is awesome, especially compared to the communities the Halo series brings to the table. =DiG= and [OCR] servers in particular are my favorites; Always awesome people on there.

It's cakewalk to find a fun game in TF2. It's a shining star compared to the atrocity you people called Halo 2 Vista.

I also don't know what you're talking about with the Halo 1 sync. I haven't noticed it. My copy is always locked in at a nice smooth 75 FPS.

Mine started crashing today even when filtering for dedicated servers.

Hit quick match. That or gunmonkey is using the exploit kiwidoggie posted on his website.

Also, they DO have enough servers to put enough people on, as most of them are just empty.

I was in the game when it died. I'm really starting to get pissed off at this bullcrap in multiplayer.

A) I rarely get servers, I usually have to reboot H2V in order to get some servers.

B) It's been crashing all the time in multiplayer, probably thanks to Gunmonkey80.

To Microsoft for ignoring the game: Screw you all.

I hope that hacker gets banned, but he probably wont knowing ms only cares about the top live games: http://majornelson.com/archive/2009/07/28/live-activity-for-w eek-of-july-20th.aspx. Which means they just care about Halo 3 and CoD and gears. Not h2v. ive even seen hacks for Halo 2 xbox but no crashing.

Also, if you still want a match, get friends and do peer hosted games and do invite only. I have done that for other dead games.

EDIT: added more info on my video about this:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Thanks Bungie!
-For Hiring monkeys to port Halo 2 for you and for being apart of the biggest bungie-realated failure ever.

Thanks HiredGun!
-For porting Halo 2 Vista so terribly.

Thanks Micro$oft!
-For leaving the H2V Community to die while providing us no updates or patches. Oh and thanks for giving the entire game to Hackers! But I can just report them, right? THANKS.

If you are gonna thank those than also thank codehpro, gunmonkey80 and gamecheat for killing a online game commuity and being n00bs as well.

And they take complaints seriously unlike rep. And the people who ported it wasnt bungie, it was MS Game Studios and "Hired Gun", the team at msgs.

oh and don't forget thankyou (the ones who made the map maker) for limiting everyones creativity.

Limiting -blam!- -blam!- bland multiplayer. that is soo boring, cause it has no AI, campaign content, and the pelican that I wanted. :'(

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.

Halo 3 for Windows will be handled by Microsoft. There is no way that can end well.

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

Well I have given up on it....If you close the server they just hack in.
If you report them they crash you etc. All we can do is get hacks and beat them untill they crash.

Dont tell them if you report them as that is "feeding the trolls" which causes huge flamewars.

And that is only dedicated servers not peer hosted games (i heard of people hacking into MonstrMoose6) as those can be set to invite only or even better closed so No one can join.

Also, MS Supported windows me (worst windows ever) for 6 years and just supported H2V for 1, which is odd as ms usually has a "product lifecycle" which is support for the first so many years and then "extended phase" which is just security fixes (which is what we need to stop that hacker) and then just unsupported phase with self help web support (like windows 9x, the original Xbox, etc)

Proves bungie doesnt care about halo 2, xbox or pc.

And also, some more info about these hackers that should be spread through the h2v communtiy:

Kiwidoggie = codehpro = impactpro

admitting it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51A3OaTQwZQ
look in comments and the website link posted, he blew his cover.
and kiwidoggie is assoicated with gunmonkey80/Wazilla

And codehpro uses the same hacks as gunmonkey:

Why can't you all just contact microsoft?

Microsoft can't help if they don't know about this?

Every time I have contacted Microsoft for help with Halo 2 Vista, they have given me the runaround, which usually ends with an offer to refund my money. I don't miss the money, I miss being able to play Halo 2! I uninstalled Vista, so for now I don't have any way to work with an MS tech if they ask me to do stuff with the game.
