I just bought this at Best Buy, and nobody is online. I wait and wait at the server browser. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Halo PC still has a bunch of people on it. Surely at least a few people out there are playing on H2v? Especially since the Xbox version went down... Am I doing something wrong?

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

The browser is really messed up. If you go to "Browse games" no games will come up a lot. Usually if you just play campaign for a bit, the browser fixes itself.

However, there still aren't many people on. And they only play the same 2 or 3 maps over, and over, and over. It doesn't compare what Halo 2 was on Xbox LIVE.

I just bought the game too and try to load all servers and it just says no servers are available at this time wtf....

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.

Get a refund and save yourself the heartache. Half a dozen MS support reps have told me there's never going to be a patch. H2V will never work for you.

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

What i do is usually go into campagin and then go back into game and check. A bunch of people also alt tab out, do something else (like listen to music or browse the web), and then alt tab back in.

I'm having this same problem, but the only difference is I've been online before, and more than 10 times at least. I've already tried the missions, and I dodn't change any internet or network settings whatsoever.

..... someone please help me cause this is pissing me off they don't let you get a refund.

haha warned by a -blam!-ot mod for making a thread that singles out an individual. I'm a GANGSTA now!

yea, somethings wrong. I would always have this problem before. When I did, I'd just load up some campaign, get a few checkpoints, back out, and BAM live would be there and I was on my way. But for the past 2 days this trick hasn't worked. I'm left live-less. Did they yank the servers due to low population of players???

no the servers are dedicated (owned by the players, not live)

try doing a few things in the live menu before you click anything on halo 2 (send someone a message and a private chat invite) then go to the halo 2 menu. it still works for me

tried all of it. I'm chating with my friend as I type. And still no live... Plus everyone on my recent players menu is having the same problem. I've had my halo 2 running for about an hour now.

Halo 2V is an awesome game. One thing that stinks though is all the hackers. Why cant GFWL just MAKE A PATCH to kill all the bogus apps that allow people to cheat!!??! Its sad the MS doesnt realize how many people play H2V, and Still want to. Ya, thats nice they made H3, and now Reach, but theres many, MANY people who own H2V and are happy with it, and play it daily. MS should stand by their products. Dishonesty and "excuses" will not fix the problems or make others any happier. Cant MS see that the way thier conducting business is just ....morally wrong? .... Its all about the money.

All send a email to bnetbugs@bungie.com and tell them the problem , they cannot ignore all of us right?!

All bungie is going to tell you is that MS Supports the game.
And all MS will give you is non-support.
The closest thing to support you can get is http://forums.gamesforwindows.com, as unlike the support lines, acutial MS staff visit it.

Well I don't play halo 2 PC a lot to be honest but every time i go on there I have the same problem with trying to find a match. Halo 2 PC is fun when you do find a match.
