I don't get a whole lot of low-ping Halo servers around here, and what is available is mostly silly rocket-mods. I really really missed classic Blood Gulch games, so I got the demo version, and there's a whole lot more going on there. You can only play Blood Gulch in the demo, but most of the other maps aren't that good anyway. So, if any of you have the same problem as I did, I suggest you download the trial in addition to what you bought.
Just thought I'd share a little tip.

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.

There are a ton of games to join running the trial, but I couldn't find a single one under 300 ping. Free stuff is nice, and I don't mind an occasional no-brainer match with Halo trial, but I prefer more than one map, with a wider selection of vehicles and weapons. Trial can be fun though.

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.

The trial doesn't have DC or Ice Fields. No reason to bother.

Demo has always been a high ping mess full of tank and shee noobs. Why play that?

Sounds like the full version. ;)

At least you can crash the server on the demo version if you get rolled. I kid, I kid.

Yeah, 'cept for the fact that there aren't any tanks in the demo.



We are talking about the CE demo right?


Just shees then? Are you sure? It's been awhile since I've played it, but I remembered shees and tanks...oh well.
