Subject: Is H2PC worth it?

My actual GamerTag is CYBORGER1... k?

Since I recently bought a laptop that can actually play Halo 2, unlike my desktop pc which runs on xp. Combined to the fact that my halo 2 disk for the xbox broke and that the live feature got disabled, is it worth the 20 dollars deal I found on Ebay?

Laptop specs:
Model: G62-228CA
CPU: AMD dual core 2.1ghz
OS: Win7 64bitz
GFX: Ati radeon mobility HD4250
Windows performance number: Everything over 5 except 4.1 for desktop graphics.

Will my Laptop run it decently and is the deal worth it?

Halo 2 Vista is a p.o.s game that hasn't been acknowledged for it's existance.

Bungie abandoned it,
you don't hear anything about this game and those who have cd key's for this game will get no reward,
but for Halo 1, yes, even though Gearbox ported it.

Microsoft abandoned it, no updates, no fixes, but they still provide online multiplayer.

Pi Studios ignores the H2EK failure, nothing from them, since the release of this dead game.

After looking around, yeah I won't get it... I do have HCE though, The only thing that bugs me in multiplayer is the hit detection, but the game's still very good.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

If you want to play campagin, get it. MP isn't as good, but at least it doesn't lag with every shot like CE does.
The server list has also been fixed.

This is correct.

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.

IMHO the lag compensation is the only advantage H2V has over Halo PC/CE.
