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 1 is more popular online. Halo 2 has few people, and I'm one person who encounters a lot of show-stopping bugs with Halo 2.

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.

All 20 of them?

Go with Halo 1. Both of the games' communities aren't that good, but at least with Halo 1, you won't have to worry about finding a game.

Depends where you live of course.

I've found it difficult to find a game that wasn't unlimited grenades and rockets for quite a long time now.

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.

I dislike modded servers a lot as well.

I don't mind the unlimited grenades/rockets but its just fustrating cos lots of noobs play these games. I'd go with halo1 it is much more enjoyable.

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

I think both games are $19.99 now, and Halo PC is the far better choice. It's a real shame how H2v turned out. We all assumed Bungie would get it better this time around after Halo PC, but it was only worse, much worse. Real shame.

Yeah he is right.Go with halo 1 if you want to have fun online,fun on the campaign and a good community or go with halo 2 if you want to hear winey people wine,not have fun online and no fun on the campaign.

Trust me, i have exp. with both games.

Beazt,I've been in the same pace as you are before.Just don't say H2V is great.The fact is it's just a tired port with no support.

The reasons why he an idiot, as he seriously believes H2V has better communities I can name 3 Old HPC clans that are without a doubt better. MAW~Clan, The Underground Insurgency(TUI) and Halo Mapping Clan 3(HMC) They would blow the -blam!- out of all 3 of those. I would know all the great members of these forums were at one affiliated some how with one if not all 3 Clans

Halo 2 Vista is a complete waste of money, don't even consider it.

I remember back on Windows XP when Halo 1 PC first came out I was playing as smoothly as I do now with the following:

Intel Pentium 4 2.4Ghz CPU
ATI All-In-Wonder X800 GPU
2GB's of RAM

You don't need a beefy computer to run Halo at 30 FPS, which is the maximum the game was designed to display.
