All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

And yet there's still 1,000 people playing Halo CE right now. Gee, I wonder how that happened. :P

Probably because Halo 2 never got released for anything other than Vista. PC players never felt the need to transition to Halo 2.

Hell, I'd have bought Halo 2 for PC if it hadn't required bloody vista.

Well, to be fair, the only reason why people won't be able to play Halo 2 on the Xbox any more is because of Microsoft, not necessarily because of the community who plays the game.

Too funny. Hell, I recently bought Halo PC again. I like it a lot more than Halo 2. It has lasting appeal.

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.

The best thing about Halo 2 is you get to aim at your target instead of several person-lengths ahead of them. Halo PC is the most balanced of the lot.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

It outlasts it only because they want to make advances in the tech on Xbox 360 Live that they can't due to Xbox 1 Live.

I'm sure they could have found a solution to allow them to make these 'advances' and keep the old games online too.

How about keeping a legacy server or two alive for them? No? Perhaps building in some backwards compatibility?

Another plus to PC gaming I suppose.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

It's why i like decentralized online systems like PC, PS2 and the DreamCast. Quake 3 arena dc outlasted xbox live, as well as many ps2 games, because they don't rely on a centeral server for all games.

Honestly, i still think halo 1 is much better than halo 2. It's very replayable.

Halo 2 Vista sucks, but with the people who like Halo 2,
most likely will buy that game.

will it force Micro$uck to support it?
shutting off xbox1 support should allow them to.

I highly doubt H2V will ever get more players. It's simply just way too locked down. Modders can't do ANYTHING to it. :'(

Grenades are like RAM, you can never have too much

It outlasts it only because they are greedy douches who only care about money and as soon as live1 stoped making profit they stopped supporting paying customers

Fix'd

Oh hush, the game's been out for 5 years already, you've had plenty of time to play it online.

if no one can mod a multiplayer map because H2EK sucks ass,
why are they not making campaign maps and passing them of as mp maps? (this works for H2V)

all tags that they could ever need for h2v, is in single_player_shared.map
if tags are internal there is no need to update shared.map

oh wait, there is no one who can do that lol.
The fact is, Modders don't want anything to do with H2V, not that they can't.

good to see that Halo 2 Xbox is dying.
