i'd like to say for all the trollers who think that halo 2 is trash, THINK AGAIN. there are many facts why halo 2 isnt trash.

plz read the text i found on wikipedia.

Curtsy of Wikipedia.org

The first official release of Halo 2 was in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States on November 9, 2004. Anticipation for the game was high; three weeks before this release, a record 1.5 million copies had already been pre-ordered. Massive lines formed at midnight releases of the game; the event garnered significant media attention. This was followed by releases on November 10, 2004 in France and other European countries, and November 11 in the UK. The game sold 2.4 million copies and earned up to US$125 million in its first 24 hours on store shelves, thus out-grossing the film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest as the highest grossing release in entertainment history. The game sold 260,000 units in the United Kingdom in its first week, making it the third fastest-selling title of all time in the UK. On June 20, 2006, Xbox.com reported that more than a half-billion games of Halo 2 have been played on Xbox Live since its debut. Halo 2 is the best-selling first-generation Xbox game[9] with 8.46 million copies sold by November 2008. As of September 25, 2007, Halo 2 was the fifth best-selling video game in the United States with 6.3 million copies sold, according to the NPD Group.[11] From the day of its initial release and up until mid-November 2006, Halo 2 was the most popular video game on Xbox Live, even after the release of the Xbox 360; its position was eventually surpassed in 2006 by the 360-exclusive Gears of War. Halo and Halo 2 are still some of the most played games for the Xbox console.

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.

It was the most played game on Xbox LIVE. That doesn't surprise me, cause console kids are terrible at FPS. Of course they'd eat up a game that rewards them for their lack of skill.

OK i know why ur saying console noobs/kids is it because Halo 3 was taken over by nine year olds? OXBL was not full of kids. another thing video games take very little skill to be good at.

You've clearly never played UT's multiplayer if you think it takes less skill than any RPG, RTS, or fighter on the market. Come back when you know what you're talking about.

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

Download this and try it. It's harder, but more fun then h2v.

Excuse me, but how does Quake take more skill to play than Halo? People think Halo takes little skill cause all you do is run around and shoot at people. As a Quake player (Been playing Quake longer than Halo, btw) I know that is MUCH worse on Quake. Head shots don't even exist on that game.

Unreal Tournament does take a good bit of skill to play as well. Its like Halo, but faster. Also, with no melee.

What really took skill was Starsiege Tribes. Sadly enough, just recently its been going down in players :/

I love Quake. I'm just saying that if Halo 2 sucks for giant hit boxes and easy head shots then why does Quake take more skill with no headshots and big hit boxes? I remember playing Quake and the only guns you actually aimed with was the Rail Gun and the Rocket Launcher (Talking from experience with Quake III)

Er, this topic fails.
What happened with Halo 2, didn't happen with Halo 2 Vista.

That's also why there isn't a Wikipedia page dedicated to Failo 2 Vista.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Trollers welcome? It's pretty clear you deliberately mimicked the other pro-h2v topic because you knew it would tick people off.

Halo 2 Vista was shipped broken, and if your standards are low enough, you won't have problems. I personally like to be able to aim precisely in shooter games. This is also not a problem if you can live with having the game aim for you.

If H2V is so great, why did Bungie do an about-face and start denying they had anything to do with the port? Answer: IT'S BAD.

I tried to troubleshoot the game, but after enough re-installations my product key stopped working and so did my replacement. It's not in the license that it can only be activated a limited number of times before it SHUTS DOWN, and only one replacement key will be given. After that, H2V becomes a beer coaster and more money is required to keep playing. Back in the old days, we used to call this thing Microsoft just did "stealing".

I start physically trembling now when I see these threads destroying any chance there might be of having complaints heard and bugs fixed. And even if they do get fixed (not likely) we're still left with a mostly mediocre game.

Only dumb-blams!- don't ever want any fix, they happily accept abandonment. -__-
That is what I call true fanboyism.

Idiot OP is saying something about Halo 2 for Xbox, and then posting it as saying Halo 2 Vista is that.

You don't see a page dedicated to Halo 2 Vista, nor do you see the sales figures, because the game was absolute garbage.

At first I thought it was you saying it was a good game (I only looked at the forum avatar). After reading the first sentence I was like wait this isn't Shock haha.
