when i load up halo 1 pc to play some multiplayer when i cant play my 360, usualy 70-90 servers come up. but when i put in halo 2 vista there is less than half of it, halo 2 runs smoother than halo 1 for pc so why does halo 1 still have a bigger player base. and halo 1 has been out since 03 for pc. and halo 2 came out in 07.

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.

I can only guess based on my own experiences, but I would think the majority of people who bought Halo 2 for Vista found the controls to be crap, and performance to be mediocre even on powerful machines. Plus, malicious players are using a hack to crash the game. If you find Halo 2 Vista works great for you, you are a lucky minority.

the controls dont bother me. i use a 360 controller(played halo 2 xbox for 4 years so im used to it). i hate using a mouse and keyboard. i have to use a mouse and keyboard for halo 1 though. using a controller for 1 doesnt work as well as 2.
i have yet to experience h2v crash for me, except out of rare occasions when it bugs.

Hello! I'm a male!

halo:CE (pc) doesn't require vista
Halo 2 (PC) is having issues
halo 2 (PC) is lagyer
Halo: CE (pc) has support still
Halo 2 (PC) crashes constantly (for me anyways)

Reasons why Halo 2 for Windows Vista sucked and will forever suck?

[] No Split-screen gaming.

[] No Online Co-op :'(

[] No Support, very much a (100%) dead game.

[] Too many hackers, and 0 modders, nice going idiots.

[] Map toolkit, which = ubersux restricted to Multiplayer content

[] Not optimized for the PC platform, 10x better graphics my ass.

[] Restricted to Windows Vista or newer OS.

[] GWFL's Guide always breaks the networking component
browsing servers take long to show up, when a player joins the whole game freezes for a second or longer, and can cause game lag, and game crashes

Buyer's Remorse - An open letter to the devs of H2V

they should release the SDK for this sucky game, modders and programmers would do better.

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

Halo CE is the best.Multiplayer and campaign is normal like Halo 1 Xbox.And the ability to create custom kick ass maps.
