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.

If you're used to Halo 3, you'd probably find the gameplay in Halo 2 more familiar, particularly if you plugged in a 360 controller. I can't recommend it though, because I ran into various show-stopping problems with Halo 2.

Halo 1 is my preference and recommendation otherwise.

Something smells fishy...

Go with Halo 1 PC. Halo 2 Vista has this bug or something that prevents multiplayer games from showing up in the games browser. But for some reason if you play the campaigne for a while then the multiplayer servers reappear.

Halo 3! is very good.
but for PC games, I'll have to go with Halo 1.

Halo 2 "Vista" is nowhere near as good as Halo 1 PC.
I could say Big Rigs is better than Halo 2 Vista, to offend those who made it, and it would be true.

Halo 1 PC best Halo on PC game ever made, thanks mainly to modding support.

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

Halo 1 PC.
Halo 2 is ok as it has good single player and also has more features then on Xbox, but Halo 1 PC has custom edition and the pistol, and a better SP. Which is why halo 1 pc is automatically better.

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.

Why is Vista bad? Elaborate.

I really don't think you can, but it'll be funny to read.

Looks at how my vista desktop runs- Because the vista program itself uses so much of your computers run memory that anything you do on the computer lags.

Upgrade your RAM. I myself have 3GB and it runs everything I throw at it nice and smooth.

Good choice.you will not be disappointed. Halo2 has so many bugs that is un-playable.

Haha, I was going to vote Halo 2, but then decided on Halo CE.

Turns out I would have been the first to vote Halo 2 if I had done so... :P

They're both great, but I think the community prefers Halo CE, so you'll get the most support and people in CE.

Well, it's unplayable if you have high standards brought about by playing PC games that are actually good.

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

Haha I'm one of 2 people who voted H2V.

Halo CE Pros: Self Explanatory

Halo 2 Pro: Better support for 360 controller. Games for Windows LIVE. Lets not forget ACHIEVEMENTS!

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

Some bugs with GFWL interface, absolutely. It's been well documented in fact.

The bugs are minor compared to the other bigger problems this game has.

Either way it is unplayable if you use a mouse and keyboard.

Skibur I assume that you play with a controller?
