BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Halo 2 Vista is the closest to an online Halo 2 experience that you will find.

I know about the free solutions, Xbox Connect and Xlink Kai.

But not many people know about Halo 2 Vista, why is this?

Halo 2 Vista

Built on Live2, aka Xbox 360 Live.

Supports 360 Controller.

Supports Higher and widescreen resolutions, no cheap 360 upscaling.

Live achievements.

Games for Windows Live is free to use for both silver and gold accounts.

A game browser for dedicated servers and peer-hosted games.

Custom maps, and a map maker.

There is no matchmaking.

You can only install this game if your operating system is Windows Vista or Windows 7, Windows 7 users can come across fixable problems.

The compulsory cost is of you buying the game.
Optional would be to buy a whole new PC, or single components like graphics cards, cpu, ram, HDD etc.

I do believe if you people who miss Halo 2, truly support this game, I suggest buying this, as for those who do not meet hardware/software requirements, I would say stick with Xbox Connect and Xlink Kai.

Microsoft and Bungie may not have advertised this game as much as Halo 2, but I am here to let you know, Halo 2 Vista is still online.

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.

Says the guy who hates Halo 2 Vista.....

"Halo 2 Vista shouldn't be sold period. It's garbageware"

Halo 2 Vista is the closest you'll ever come to the old great Halo 2 XBL experience. I do support XBC/Xlink Kai, too, but I like Vista better, though.

It would be fine if all it required was someone to host a match. Too bad :/

the only real advantage is the resolution boost to the pc version and the two maps that where added along with the fact if your already an xbox live memeber you have your friends list o and if you fancy your self some of the easyest way to boost your gamer score by 900 g. the game though no longer has supper bounces but any glitch other than that still works. you can use a xbox 360 controler but every body that plays on the pc will call you a noob and every one will basicly hate you for it. the custom maps are fun to play on in most cases and you dont need to go searching for them on google which is nice. the lagest draw back is if you own a 360 you cant party chat but you can private chat and on a wireless connection the sever browser is glitchy and server might not show up for up to a half hour while in the game. not much fun at all to wait that long and the other problem is the curbine has no fire rate limiter so turbo button = full auto.

This should be posted in the game's official description.

You can get nearly all campaign achievements just by backing up, and then replace all other campaign maps with 00a_introduction.map

So easy, I find it funny how they never added in campaign map checks, just a simple rename gets you running the map.

Start legendary, and keep skipping the introduction level, and win. :D
