Halo 1 & 2 for PC

Subject: Still worth buying?

I was thinking since my 360 got the friggin rings again awhile ago that i wanted to play some Halo. Instead of dropping money i don't have on a new system i figured going the cheaper route until reach would suffice. Is there still a community or a good amount of people that play Halo: CE or Halo 2 PC online?

Which one should i buy if i were to get one or the other. My personal favorite Halo of all time is CE, but if there is a better chance to get games in H2 i can settle for that.

Let me know, thanks.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Halo PC/Custom Edition is far better in gameplay. Halo 2 is not as good, and only has around 50-60 people on. Both don't use matchmaking, they use a list, so you can jump into a game fast without waiting 15 min.

If you had to buy one or another, get Halo PC.

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

I just checked both and Halo PC has ~800 players vs the ~100 on Halo 2 right now.

Couldn't check CE since I don't have it installed right now.

Sounds good, i think i might go out and get it going then. As long as it has the original multiplayer feel i grew to love on the 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.

HPC still has a decent following. You can still get a fair amount of good times out of that $20.

Halo 2 is never worth buying. Hell, it wasn't even worth buying for the Xbox.

You're lucky.

If you are a fan of Halo just buy both games.

Wow. DusK, I know your a huge Combat Evolved fan, but that statement is a joke. Your telling me you were nowhere to be found on Halo 2 with over 8 million copies sold?

I MAEK MOOSHIK.
LISTEN TO IT.

I've been wondering the same thing. I think I will go and buy Halo: CE for PC.

Practically anyone who is a Halo fan should've bought it for the blind fact they are a Halo fan. xD

Oh I was there for quite a few games. Then I good tired of the cater-to-the-kids gameplay and went back to FPS games that are actually good.

I might have if the gameplay wasn't so bad in general. I could definitely see most of those maps being fun in H1.

DusK, will there at least be a chance you and I can meet up on Reach?

Minimal Casualties, Maximum Effectiveness.

I own Halo PC and CE and never had a need to get Halo 2, CE is all you need, tons of players always on, tons of servers, billions of custom maps, and hours of fun gameplay. Best $20 i ever spent!

Its definitely worth buying for any Halo fan. Plus if you like getting achievements they aren't hard to get like some of them in Halo 3.

Halo 2 Vista is worthless. Don't buy the game.

and so is that game that came before it.

What a waste....

Halo PC is the way to go. My disc was scratched a while ago, but when I used it, it was hella fun.
