As we all know Xbox Live Services for the Original Xbox is getting the kill switch on 4/15/10; But will the Death of Halo 2's Multiplayer bring more players to the table for Halo 2 Vista?

Something smells fishy...

I hope not because Halo 2 Vista is a crappy game. The sooner people stop playing the sooner Microsoft will also terminate multiplayer for H2V.

Check me out at YouTube.com for halo 3, and soon to be Reach forge maps, all created by me. http://www.youtube.com/user/fredrick300

How is it crappy? Its better than the Xbox halo 2!

Avatar was awesome! If there is to be a Halo movie, make sure James Cameron gets the job!

What's wrong with H2 V? It's the same game, just with higher rez graphics, 16:9 aspect ratio, granted a little more buggy but hell, it shattered the Xbox version.

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

Either they will get h2v or xlink kai.

i think halo 2 vista was epic it was my fave game! but thats just me

  • 02.05.2010 4:13 PM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

All those Hacks.

It will bring me to H2V, as soon as I get a college laptop I'm buying H2V.

Meh, I don't use Windows.

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.

Me either... most of the time. Current Wine will run Halo PC, but I can't get H2V running right, on Windows or "other". If the Xbox players can get H2V working, they're able to use a controller just like on Xbox.

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.

Halo 2 xbox had them too.
halo 2 xbox, had what we call mods.

Fixes needed for h2v suck.
[]Online Co-op
[]Infection mode
[]32 Players max in all game modes
[]more server commands, support for campaign co-op.
[]Aimbot dependant on (host) gametype settings
[]banshee bombs enabled for MP
[]Fuel Rod Cannon on all maps
[]Direct IP connect (because M$ fails at hosting a browser)
[]Server browser filtering modes
[]add information board for Gametype settings
[]Ping to show values, not bars

[]Fix H2EK
[]tag resource site (all tags for everything Halo 2)
[]auto fill certain values, like pathfinding preferences, ai zones etc..
[]add scripts
[]allow building of all custom tags
[]CUSTOM CAMPAIGN!

[]Fix crappy netcode
[]better map downloading system

[]optimize graphics, give more not take more.
[]more graphical options
[]more audio options
[]Game should support all resolutions
[]no custom map limit
[]fix mouse lag
[]fix DX renderer, too much unicode can crash or slow down.
[]fix transparency of objects from a distance.

[]Memory, the game takes alot of unnessesary amount of memory, while Halo 2 Xbox survived on 64MB.
Defining memory limit for h2v would be good.

[]...

It's only 20 Euros in Europe and you get easy 700 GS.
And of course MM is fun as hell.
I hope that the death of XB Halo2 MP will bring more players to H2V.

I Really dont understand all the Halo 2 Vista hate, Nowadays Most people have Windows Vista or Windows Seven on a computer and it doesnt take much to run
I Run it on full settings on a laptop and it looks amazing
I only ran into One hacker and not many bugs

Only complaint is that i get one second lag is when someone joins the game.

I personally have lots of problems with H2V.. buggy mouse controls, server browser not working, the freeze when someone joins.. really ruined the whole Halo world for me.

  • 02.06.2010 5:36 AM PDT

I have had the server browser not working seems fine now though and i also get the freeze when someone joins, apart from that perfect though

if i had vista i would get it, just for the achievements and campaign though, since i already have halo PC, and halo 3 for all my halo needs

  • 02.06.2010 6:56 AM PDT

This will depend entirely on how many of the current Halo 2 xbox players are Windows Vista users...if allot of them are, you might see a surprising spike in Halo 2 players for vista.

If not...well nobody is going to buy a new operating system just for a 3 year old port of a 6 year old game.

Yes it does. But Microsoft still need to make a patch for those that continue having problems installing it on their specific desktops/laptops.

Well,there will be more EXPERIENCED Auto-aim users now.And I won't be there to enjoy the common cause of noobs in a game.
