Halo 1&2 PC forum's resident OC ReMixer. Like rockified and metalized video game music? Subscribe to my YouTube channel.

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.

Where is the "Halo 2 is an utter piece of trash that should have never seen the light of day" option?

No. It's not extreme. And I'm not just talking about the PC version. On both platforms, it's a horridly noobified game that narrowed the learning curve much so that the most retarded of gamers could feel like "zomg uber pwners" after a few hours of playing the game, which ended up setting the bar really low in the eyes of other developers which ended up spitting out crap game after crap game with the same built-in aimbots, bullet magnetism, oversized hitboxes. ect.

In short, Halo 2 was a terrible game that not only made the delusion of skill something to brag about, but also marred the FPS genre as a whole.

Now I'm all for casual gamers, but when you have systems in place where those casual gamers that would get slaughtered in any game that takes real skill are talking an insane amount of crap about how "good" they are at Halo 2, it crosses the line into absurdity. I get sick of reminding these idiots that they'd never hold their own without the noobifications that are ever so abundant in games like Halo 2.

In FPS games, skill should be rewarded, and a lack of skill should encourage players to get better. Game devs need to stop putting stuff in that brings about that delusion that they're good, despite blowing harder than a Category 5.

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.

I guess there's no way to get the message across about Halo 2 Vista. I didn't mind the Xbox version, but the Windows version was only barfed out to boost poor Vista sales. It has so many bugs and exploits, not to mention a limit for product activation.

If it weren't for this crap I would have gladly plunked down coin for ODST and Reach. Not anymore.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

It's ok. Not the best game ever like some users make it out to be, but not "worst game evah" like some users make it out to be.

-Graphics: Good, but still could use some more work

Cheeky bastards did f' all to the graphics, all we got is anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering and weapon textures doubled.

-Gameplay: Pretty nice, Not too many complaints.

Yeah, without a rank, I don't feel like I care.

-modding: I don't care much for mods, but if you got this game for the sole purpose of modding it, then you may not like it.

The modding community is full of -blam!-.
I made my share of mods that will never even work as they're supposed to.


-Hacking: Many people claim that a skilled player like me "aimbot" However Theres really not too many avaiable hacks that aren't exclusive for the server, no complaints at all.

I hacked, big deal, but I never cheated.

Let's go to memory lane. gunmonkey80
When he was on the loose, no one did anything.


-Custom map making: As we all know pc games are best known for custom maps, And so far I have not too many complaints about custom mapping what so ever. The map creator could be a little more simple though.

The map maker was stripped of many features.
Halo 2 Vista was designed to block custom maps which had contained custom tags.

Tags that were blocked are Vehicles, Scenery, Weapons, Bipeds, Characters, Style, Animations, AI Resource, Creatures, Machines, Control (switches)...etc.

So I wonder how you never heard of any complaints.
If the H2EK and H2V wasn't built to screw over map makers we would see a lot more maps compared to Halo 1 Custom Edition.

A whole campaign could be made, if you've seen my co-op videos you will see.



-Overall rating: I'd give it about a 6 out of 10 stars.
I give it -10 out of 10.

Thanks for reading, If you want to share your opinion please do so.


Halo 2 Xbox was bearable, but even then the modding community was dead by the time they started work on it.

Halo 2 Vista, the biggest joke of the Halo IP.
Microsoft answered one question the best way they could,
Q. "can Halo 2 be any worse?"
A. Halo 2 Vista.

Well if everyone has the same advantage its even. Whether you have skill or not so long as you get kills it shouldn't matter. After all, I thought the console version had the best online. Halo 2 has always held the best memories. And nothing will EVER change that.Its not really an advantage if everyone has a "Built-in aimbot" Honestly.

Said built in aimbot lowers the learning curve. In short, it rewards you if you suck.

If you shoot someone's head, you should get the headshot. If you miss by 3 feet, you shouldn't get the headshot.

If someone misses my head by 3 feet in another game, they don't get the kill and aren't rewarded for their lack of skill. If they miss the head by 3 feet in Halo 2, they get a headshot they don't really deserve.

This lowers the learning curve and allows players who aren't as good to beat players who would otherwise be significantly better at the game. As a result, these terrible players get the delusion that they're good. Game companies noticed that this tactic sells, so they started dumbing down their games as well.

And then there's MLG, the king of the jokes, which started up with Halo 2. I guarantee you that if they introduced a game that took actual skill into their circuit, their precious overpayed MLG "pros" would get slaughtered by even the most mediocre players, because those "pros" are nothing without their crutches.

If you haven't yet, can you check out this game?

even though it's an indie game, the learning curve is is a giant mountain, and the difference between skilled and casual players are miles long. Also zero-G combat like this is something I've never seen in a game before, it's a nice refresher to get away from mainstream FPSs.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

H2v:

Campaign is fun.

Multiplayer is a complete disaster.

Mouse and keyboard don't work right for either.

In other words, it's a horrible port of an ok game.

If you are one of those kids who uses the Xbox controller for PC gaming, you'll love it because you get a free aimbot.

lol, I had to disable Bungie's puke-ish cinematic control camera which adds some sort of interlacing lines, shorter FOV and FPS limit.

Funny enough, disabling that allows me to pause during the cutscenes. (like Halo 3/ODST/Reach does)

Have you guys ever played a rockets game in Halo PC? It's like that. You see, both players have the same loadout, so they're on a level playing field. But the way a rockets match is set up, it makes it incredibly easy to kill someone with absolutely no skill involved. So there's no real guarantee that the more skilled player will win, and the less skilled player will lose.

That's the way the entirety of Halo 2's multiplayer is set up. It takes absolutely no skill to kill anyone due to the noobified gameplay, so once again, there's no real guarantee that the more skilled player will win, and the less skilled player will lose.

The main problem that sets Halo 2 apart from other purely luck-based games such as CoD4 is that Halo 2 essentially tries to come off as having skill-based gameplay. In short, it's a poser's game designed to allow people that suck at FPS games to believe that they're at least "good" at that one.

Therefore, the ONLY people that could enjoy Halo 2 on any platform are people that suck at FPS in general and would get slaughtered in other games (console kiddies make up a huge portion of that), and better players, well... they just play those better games. :)

:3 I will die. :[

I hate Halo 2 Vista,Everytime I get back to the game I just get f**ked over by shots that don't even register like my BR or sniper,I even lead my shots with the BR.My connection is fine,but this game isn't overall "great".Halo 2 Xbox was pretty good.But I still enjoy,the experience from Valve such as LD1 or Half-life 2.

There are more "normal" servers than there are "hacked" ones.

Don't say mods, no one can mod multiplayer.

If you really think normal and original gameplay is still fun, you obviously never played on this server.

In my opinion, H2 is tied with CE for best Halo game. I havn't played multiplayer for either, but I think I'll get H2 PC to play the campaign again.
