Well, TF2 and Halo 2 do have one thing in common.

In some servers, they use a hit detection method that causes the hitboxes to stay behind the target. They're still the same size as the model, generally. It was the same in CS:S.

In Halo 2, the hit detection is set up so that regardless of the network environment, you can miss the shot by a good yard or so and still get a headshot, provided you're moving the reticle.
Although a yard is a rather large exaggeration, you're right.

Halo 3

So like,I re-installed Halo:CE for the PC n' all, played some... and then realized that it wasn't all that superb (for the multiplayer). I didn't get into any of the modding again, which i know would be real fun n' all, but my main goal really is to have some fun BRing some dudes in a classic Halo 2 level, you know (as well as complete the campaign mission with some hacks, perhaps) :)

Yes, but, there is no Co-Op Campaign. Shock tried to make it, but, it wasn't very practical.

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.

I attempted to play multiplayer, but I got torn to shreds, so I'm just going to call the game bad instead of myself.

I've played it on and off for 6 years or so, so i know what's up, k? I just happen to enjoy Halo 2 more, gosh. You're giving me that "CE is the best, no exception" vibe. ._. Just cuz im not good at it doesn't mean I don't have the right to give my opinion. The campaign is AWESOME but the Multiplayer for me is for the occasion.

Contrary to the crowd, i absolutely LOVE dual-wielding those black rapid-fire pistols in Halo 2. Oh and the lock-on rockets are something that i've ALWAYS missed in Halo 3. . . stupid missile pod >.>

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I would, but it's your choice though.

Yeah it plays on Windows 7, since Vista is kinda the same as Windows 7...

If you have any problems with the game on 7, reboot the game with compatibility mode for Vista.

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

That might work if hitting your PC with a hammer fixes it.

H2V has issues with 7. And the gameplay is crap in h2v.

Again with the Halo 2 Noobified. You have that bookmarked, don't you?

Okay, while I'm at it I can tell it to Shock120. It's not like I look at people on forums with bias eyes. Don't worry, I think you're all acting equally childish when doing it.

Disclaimer: Not saying that you're all childish. I'm just saying it looks childish each time you do that specific thing. Other than that I have nothing against you guys
