Subject: Thinking of buying Halo 2 PC. Don't care about flair.

Hey thar.

I'm thinking about buying this game, because It's the only Halo game I haven't played. I've played CE, 3, ODST, Wars, and Reach. It's the only one I haven't played. THE ONLY ONE. It's only $20, and I really wanna play the MP. I have a Windown 7 laptop, specs here.
Is it worth it? I wanna play it so bad!

Oh, and I have about three questions.
Does it have achievements?
Does it link to my gamertag?
The multiplayer is still up, right?
I get ALL of the MP maps, right?

Thanks to any responses.

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.

Actually, that's four questions.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, but good luck finding a game. Players peak at around 50 total usually. And they're all playing crap gametypes because, well, it's Halo 2, and those kids wouldn't know what makes a good game anyway.

I get ALL of the MP maps, right?

Yes, but that's useless for the aforementioned reasons.

As for your specs, the game is going to run like crap on that laptop. So if you're gonna get H2V, I hope you like playing a first-person slideshow.

Without a dedicated graphics card, your laptop won't run the game very well.

give a real response and quit telling people that they are stupid you frickin troll.

Yea as they said above your laptop won't be able to run the game well at all. If possible you should upgrade the graphics card in it ^_^

EDIT: looks like you cannot upgrade the video card inside the laptop but Nvidia is pushing for external video cards for laptops here

Halo =)

As other people have already answered your questions, all I can tell you is that it is an excellent game and is definitely worth the $20 =]

It's better than Halo 2 Xbox, not.
