Yes! I was just on Halo: PC, there are dozens (if not hundreds) of people still playing it. I think you just need to create username and just hop in to multiplayer matches. To download custom maps/map packs, you need to download Custom Edition. I'm not so sure about Halo 2 (never had 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.

Halo PC 1.09 saw 781 players online at 7:31 PM EST today. Game's still kickin'.

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

And CE 1.00 has 1200 people!
Halo PC is far from dead.

BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

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

A game that is free will never die. :D

Hey I too wonder if Halo2 is online still? is it also still integrated with xbox live and do you have to pay for a subscription?

  • 11.14.2010 2:14 PM PDT

Uhhh......Hi?

Still lovin' Halo 1 PC. It is quite a thriving community with hundreds of players, new maps in Custom Edition, and even a couple of large clans. (of which i am a part of one) Also, Halo CE comes with all the maps, so no need to get any map packs. It's totally woth whatever the price is. I hope to c ya in the community!

I don't have the PC versions yet (getting them very soon) but I'm pretty sure this is correct: Yes, Halo 2 Vista can still be played online, as can Halo PC. However, there is no correlation between Xbox LIVE and playing the computer versions online. Xbox LIVE is discontinued for Halo 2 and never existed for Halo CE. The closest you'll get is playing Halo PC or Halo 2 Vista online and using an Xbox controller. For details on configuring the controller to work with the computer versions of Halo and Halo 2, see here.

Or XBConnect. Or other stuff like that.

Halo2 pc is still online. Not as many people play it as CE but you'll find enough people to play with. Of course, you'll run into some of the same faces but there's nothing wrong with that.

It is still integrated with live, and Halo2 pc has achievements you can earn, and if you already have a xbox live account with a gold subscription, that's all you need.
