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

Halo 1. Then download custom edition.

I'm a fan of both. Which is why I'm asking which one I should get.

Halo PC runs very good on a range of systems, has more players than H2V, has less compatibility issues. H2V isn't really worth it unless you love Halo 2 to death because the port was pretty crappy. Not to mention the specs listed to run the game only apply to default Halo 2 maps for multiplayer (i.e. District which is a H2V exclusive stutters because the map has too many hi-res textures in a closed space and my specs are at minimum 2x than what the game recommends).

~Some n00b got a Plasma Pistol,Oh my god..~

Something smells fishy...

Get Halo: Combat Evolved PC. Many people still play it unlike Halo 2 PC which is almost deserted.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

Halo 1 would be the best buy by a longshot.

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.

Think about it: Do you want a game that's still going pretty strong after 7 years, or a game that's an utter piece of trash in every way conceivable? Yeah, thought so. Get Halo 1.

definitely get halo 2, the reason is say this is because the amount of lag you get on even the smallest maps in halo 1 ruins everything, halo ce is more customizable but the only area that you are able to enjoy that custom content is single player (the only place with no lag) every single shot you fire in halo ce causes lag (and i do mean that literally) even cell phone games have less lag.

halo 2 isn't an mlg type of game, but it is a very fun one if you are like me (grew up on halo)+(no xbox) then get halo 2, don't get me wrong i enjoyed halo 1, but the part i enjoyed was the story, not the mp.

The lag "ruins everything?" Laughable. Leading your shots is cake. If you can't do it, well, I can see why you'd need to play a game that does all the work for you to make up for that lack of skill.

If you play CE more, you get used to it.

It's better then h2v, where mouse support is broken, so using a mouse = laggy, and using a touchpad = impossible. In h2v, though, you can use a controller. Not only is controller support somehow not broken, but you get a FREE AIMBOT (if you use a controller) too! And if you tape a controller button, you can get a aimbot with the mouse.

so now dealing with lag is a pro thing? wow is this^ what the world is coming to, no reasonable h2v player claims that halo 2 is an mlg game, thats a frame of mind that that halo ce community should have adopted a long time ago.

Oh, but Halo 2 is what MLG started on. And like Halo 2, MLG is a joke.

It took off with Halo 2. Nobody knew what MLG was before then. That's also when the whole overpaid "MLG pros" thing got started too.

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

This. You can do some awesome stuff in Custom Edition.

Sup, I'm Vette. My online name is usually Corvette19, so if you see me at another website, that's my name. I first started playing Halo when I was in the 4th grade, now I've graduated. I believe that was 2002-2003? Anyways, I've been with Halo for a long time. I mod Halo PC/CE so just hit me up if you want to. My Xfire=Corvette19. That's all I can say pretty much..

Halo 1.

  • 10.12.2010 7:32 PM PDT

In halo 1 the pistol is just downright awsome and some of the maps are great classics, yet halo 2 which has a better campaign in my opinion. You just have to compare them yourself and weight the different aspects of the games i guess.

if you want an awesome story then go with halo 1, if you want a combination of a moderately good story, but a thrilling adventuresome campaign+an awesome multiplayer the get halo 2, if you are an mlg type of person go get halo reach.

  • 10.12.2010 7:55 PM PDT

HACK THE PLANET!

If your computer is not that good, don't get H2V. It takes a lot to run smooth.

Scratch what NoobitoryTroy said. If you want dead multiplayer that has maybe 50 people on at one time tops and massive amounts of noobification to the point where the game is 100% luck, go with Halo 2. If you want multiplayer that's actually GOOD, get Halo 1. If you want MLG style gameplay, sell your gaming systems and get a life.

True that. During Halo 1's competitive days there were a bunch of different and equally renowned leagues. MLG wasn't really one of them.

MLG really seemed to kick off the era of 'celebrity' gamers and trash talking 12 year olds trying to act as if being good at a game actually means something.

The Human race is the parasite of the Earth. The galaxy is the host of the Earth. The universe is the parasite of something much grander...

It's not just them, though. You ever hear Walshy talk about upcoming matches? That kid is such a tool. Same thing with FB. MLG breeds idiots of every echelon.
