Subject: About how many players?

Can anyone give me a rough estimate of how many people play Halo 2 PC? I am about to get the game, i just want to make sure I'm not buying a game to play alone.

Video Games = where playing with yourself is NOT fun.

Definately.

There's always a bunch of people playing online at any time of the day, but it doesn't have the population Halo 1 PC does if you've ever played that online. I can't really give you an estimate, but I'm sure you'll still be able to find largely populated matches.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

There are populated games, but only 3-4 fully populated at once, and 50-60 people on at once.

It uses a list though, not Halo 2 xbox slowmaking.

ok thanks.

I just didn't want to get the game if there are tons of more people on XBC for the xbox version.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

NeviK, don't get too excited my brother.

I think I know what gametypes your looking for, prepared to be let down. Most of the Servers are Coagulation CTF Servers. MLG Gametypes are very rare in the world of Halo 2 Vista and are usualy set up through Custom Games only.

With that being said, there ARE some players that are willing to do MLG TS and MLG FFA, just don't expect to see a bunch of servers with those types of variants.

Thank you very much for letting me know this. I was mainly looking for the MLG style gametype but I think I enjoy the game enough to play less competitive ones.

Is there any sort of matchmaking system or is it all server based?

No, it's all server based. You can do Quick Match, where it just sends you into a game as fast as possible, but it's not exactly matchmaking.

The only other thing I can say is this: I recommend Halo 2 Vista only to the hardcore Xbox players that miss the game. I was one of them and it does keep the itch from itching.
