I know the answer is probably no, but I wanted to confirm. Will the shutting down of Xbox LIVE for all original Xbox titles effect those of us who still play Halo 1 and 2 for PC??

Most likely not I cant speak for H2V but H1 is supported by gamespy arcade for online play.

Halo 3 is better than Reach

Xbox Live: iSupremacyX
Xbox Connect: Cold_Achilles
XFire: redmeany
Steam: coldachilles

tell me OP...

is halo 2 VISTA played on the xbox?

there's your answer.

  • 02.06.2010 1:45 PM PDT

No because we use the internet for halo 1 and 2 and for the xbox you use xbox live

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

Halo 1: GameSpy
Halo 2: GFWL, which is based on 360 live.
SO there, its not gettin shutdown.

Only way I can think of that it would affect you would be that you will be dealing with more console gamers. And from what I've seen on H2V thus far, you might be getting killed a few more times than normal.

No, because Halo 2 Vista was built utilizing the LIVE structure, IE: NXE and GFWL. Therefore if Microsoft wanted to add more functionality to the existing LIVE infrastructure, Halo 2 Vista would be compatible with it. Unlike Halo 2 on the Xbox which was made utilizing the old LIVE structure and a cap of 100 friends.

Noobs? Really? I played H2V yesterday and found that the XBL community has more developed skills and tactics than the H2V community.

Bad? Hardly, it's the same as the console version, aside from prettier graphics of course. As for no Matchmaking, it's a PC title, PC games don't need Matchmaking. Server browsing is much better. I enjoy actually being able to choose what I want to play.

LOL!
The only n00bs are people who are aimbotting and hacking/modding/whatever. The h2xbox people have more skills then h2v n00bs, as they have played longer.

Check out my Gaming Rig on EVGA Mod Rigs.

I like how you posted this -

its sad to see Halo 2 die.
but what if I want to play online again?
Do I buy Halo 2 Vista? which is a even more crappier game?

This to me would imply you are considering buying Halo 2 Vista. lawlz.

To the OP -

It will definitely not affect Halo PC. H2V uses the newer GFWL service and may have a better chance of long term survival if people buy it now that the Xbox version will be closed down.

For those of us who still want to play there are other solutions to play over the web.

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.

Therefore, it's bad.

I think H2V is actually better than the xbox version. They updated the servers and stuff and made it look better...

Besides, H2V is still gonna have multiplayer.

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.

Microsoft needs to support their PAYING customers, not just do what suits Microsoft. I have several Live-enabled Xbox games that I like to play online, and Microsoft has received money so that I can do just that.

2 weeks after the infection:box226/his other 9001 accounts hack/distribute hacks, game gets ruined 10 times more

3 weeks after the infection: live gets thousands of complaints about the service / hacking -blam!-s

4 weeks after the infection: moose bans everyone again

5 weeks after the infection: micro$oft lies about fixing it

6 weeks after the infection: all the non hackers quit

7 weeks after the infection: news of a sauce halo2 comes out on the gravemind forums fixing the crap and adding coop

8 weeks after the infection: someone creates a WORKING SDK

9 weeks after the infection: the game is consumed by -blam!-s and leaves four heroes to kick the living -blam!- out of them

Noobs? Really? I played H2V yesterday and found that the XBL community has more developed skills and tactics than the H2V community.

Yes, I grabbed a controller, hooked it up to my PC, started playing H2V, and got a kill streak of 25. They are not nearly as good as the console gamers.

Try that in a HPC server hosted by a good clan. KNFr's a good choice. Good luck.

Of course there are good clans, XBL had them too. I didn't suggest that weren't good people on H2V.

I'm talking about Halo PC, mang. It's a whole different ballgame when you don't have the general nubbery to deal with that's slathered all over H2's gameplay. Even the best Halo 2 player couldn't hold a candle to even mediocre Halo PC players.
