Why don't we have a flair for Halo 2 Vista? What happened?

Final Fantasy XIII

Wasn't made by Bungie.

But, Bungie had a part in it. It's the same deal with Halo PC.

It wouldn't be that hard to just have a second way to get the Halo 2 flair by putting in a key code.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Bungie had nothing to do with that port.

That's what everyone loves saying as though they forgot the Halo 2 Vista FAQ that Bungie posted over 3 years ago.
Bungie mentions how they had a hand in quality assurance and some other crap.


Also I was the 1st to use "Bungie" flair and impersonate Bungie on Halo 2 Vista for lulz, and spreading rumors of Halo 3 PC. xD

I hope they do something for Halo 2 Vista at some point.

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

They also had nothing to do with the Marathon 2 Xbox port, and yet those people get a flair.

I'm wondering if there is a way to get a flair set up for Halo Wars, but I don't know how they'd keep it to the people who actually have the game.

They would do it in the same way they do to people who own Marathon 2.

I dont really know why they would allow the port of marathon but not halo 2 PC. I got all the achievements for halo 2, and I still have my CD key, come on bungie.

They hate Halo 2 Vista, what better way to snub a game and their owners.

  • 09.18.2010 3:21 AM PDT

I agree wit the OP. I doesn't make sense. Why alienate those gamers. I have played both on the PC and think it is just wrong to accept Halo CE and not Halo 2.

heres the thing though. halo 1 did well on PC. lots still play today.
h2v on the other hand failed hard.
btw there is a h2 flair already, its for the xbox version. wouldnt make sense to have 2 h2 flairs

  • 09.19.2010 9:18 AM PDT

No, but it would be "fair" if the H2V players were able to get that same "flair" as well.

Both were PC games and how is it fair to let dedicated Xbox players of CE buy a PC copy to get their flair and not have H2V get theirs when they did play that game and have the timestamped achievements to back it up?

Heck, 343 Indusries should add the achievements of Halo 2 (PC) to the Halo Waypoint, because they did include Halo Wars and that wasn't made by Bungie and there is no Reach nameplate for that either, but there is one for Marathon:Durandal?

I even played Halo 2 on the Xbox 360 before the cut-off date and got no nameplate for it. My Bungie.net account got wiped somehow, because I know I sure as hell made one to get the septagon and stats in Halo 3 when that was released. Why don't Bungie add stats for H2V to Bungie.net?

It's a mess so please fix this Bungie.

Whose fault was it, that H2V was a stinkin' pile of -blam!- ?

Problem is, there's not enough demand for it. The H2V community is quite small, and people would probably get pissed if the achievements made it into Waypoint, because there would be no way for them to get any outside of the Xbox 360.

I do agree with you about the flair, seeing as you can still buy a PC copy of Halo: CE to get a nameplate, but the one for Halo 2 is gone for good. And since some folks like me only got to play Halo 2 on Vista (or any lack of H2X, period), not only is the Halo 2 nameplate gone, but so is the Halo nameplate, and (at least for me) the Spartan Helmet nameplate. Ones such as the Reach Beta, I can understand. But since there's other options for playing Halo 2 on XBL, there should be an opportunity to get the nameplate for it. Same way the Marathon: Durandal nameplate was unlocked would be the easiest way.

I know I probably shouldn't be ranting about it, since it's just visual flair, and I'm pretty content with my Halo: CE nameplate, but I couldn't help it...

Thats exactly it, if a lot more people demanded the halo 2 pc flair, then we would get it. But Bungie never supported this port like they should have. Just like they changed the scorpion in Hemorrhage map because people complained about it.

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.

You know, I'm all for this if H2V players get a unique flair. It'll let me predict the outcome of matches a little better. See, whenever I see someone wearing the H2 flair in Reach, I know they're gonna be easy. Let's extend that a bit by allowing even more players to show that they suck at FPS games.

I have (unexplainable) proof that Bungie hates H2V xD

My argument why they should include H2V

Geeze, Bungie. You completely shafted the Halo 2 Vista people (and your name is on the cover of the game). I am disappointed.

I used to keep linking that to any idiot who said Bungie had nothing to do with stink' pile of -blam!- called H2V, and then there's no reply to it.
