Subject: Is Halo 1 & 2 Multiplayer Alive? PC

I really want to purchase again Halo 1 and Halo 2 for my PC, after looking at the exclusive maps such as Death island on Halo CE and Uplift or district for Halo 2 they look amazing! Also mods for Halo CE. But my question is multiplayer still alive for both games? so i can play like BTB on say uplift or on death island easily?

Cess pool.

Stick to console MM games. The pc version has many playing but you won't enjoy it. Way more lag than I have ever witnessed before in my life and general shenanigans.

Firstly wrong forum.... but meh :p

I have Halo 1 for pc, there is tons of lag, and a few cheaters using aimbots and junk. Also alot of people don't take the matches seriously, and it sucks when you join a game with 3+ afk people.
Its not all bad though, theres plenty of fun to be had and there's a 24/7 bumper cars server thats fun to pop into every so often XD
Your experience will vary from server to server but overall it can be fun. If you want to play a CTF game where people actually care about winning stick to halo 2 and 3 on xbox and 360.

I'm getting Halo 2 pc soon but until then I can't comment on what its like to play on pc = )

Halo 2 Vista is alive but it doesnt have level based matchmaking, it has a custom games search instead. The custom games search allows you to easily find games but there arent that many people online anymore so the options can be somewhat limited. The main reason to why I got Halo 2 Vista was achievements and those are split up between single player and mulitplayer. The multiplayer achievements are for the most part pretty easy to get (assuming that you're not boosting them in which case they're not a challenge at all) but are adding an extra level to MP.
