Subject: So after playing H2V, then H3...

I think that the pc game is far better. Mainly due to the frame rates I guess. It's a shame nobody really plays H2V anymore. The reason I got this is because of the lack of live for H2.

It also helps that I've got a beast of a machine!

I don't agree with you about it being better than the Xbox version mainly because of the fact that it's a server system not matchmaking like the Xbox version IMO. However I do agree with you that it's a shame about the lack of H2V players. I have been having a good time on it.

Servers > matchmaking.

That's all I have to say on this matter. Unless challenged. ;)

Although now everything seems to be down, can't find a game, stuck on the game browser menu. Anyone know why this happens?

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.

Console kiddies will always prefer laziness in all things. They're not PC gamers, so there's no way they'd know the benefits of server browsers and server communities first-hand.

Meh, it't just my opinion. While severs have the up-sides I find that they split gaming populations and I like how you get matched up with people at your level. It feels like a real challenge sometimes. I do concide however that server communites are a deffinate plus as they can add alot to your gaming experence.

ugh, I hate h2v, it's been ever so boring, because of no mods, or maps that are inferior to Halo CE.

I'd have to agree with you on this.
Halo 2 Vista is purely amazing. I will not forget all the memories that have been stored and piled on in for the Original Xbox game online. It was just the best. Halo 3 is a fail bomb. The Matchmaking/Multiplayer does not settle with me. Campaign is off and feels like it's missing a lot. Halo 2 for Xbox and Vista is just thirlling! I play it everyday on my xbox. Very amazing.

how sad. so I edited it.

I seriously don't get what is "purely amazing" about Halo 2 Vista, when it's crappier than Halo 2 Xbox.

Both systems are only good when there are people around to use them. As it stands, there is nobody using Matchmaking on Halo 2 because service access has been denied, whilst there are very few people actually playing Halo 2 Vista.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

I know i'm going to get flamed for this by a certian hacker, but Halo 2 pc > Halo 3. Mainly due to framerate, resolution, and halo 3 matchmaking gets old fast. I'm tired of playing Team BRs on Pit Stop. The server list also means you can select a game you want, instead of playing the same thing over and over again.

And the map editor > forge. Even though the h2ek was botched, at least it is better then some crappy forge map with terrible spawn points.

Of coruse, Halo custom edition is better then h2v.

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

yep, they were the ones who were in charge of "quality assurance".

The only people who like H2V, are the ones who like H2X, and don't expect any better.
They never want anything "new" (like Halo 3), their standards are stuck on low.
H2V provided nothing new or better than Halo 1 PC/CE and Halo 2 Xbox.

I know that if one day, Halo 3/Reach is released for PC, the modders/map makers of
Halo 1 will not linger any longer, they will move onto the better and newer engine.

There are limitations present in Halo 1 and Halo 2, these limitations were never even fixed, it never even crossed their minds that they could fix H2V.
These limitations were only fixed for the Halo Xbox 360 games.

The game that caters to your freedom of custom content will win (Halo 1 CE), but as people realize the limitations, they want something newer and better.

So after playing H2V, then H3, I realized that H2V is one piece of boring -blam!-,
but then again, it was -blam!- compared to H2X.
