Hi guys,

So, what's the trick to finding games these days in Halo 2 for Windows? You used to be able to go to the game browser and select from a huge list. Or just do a quick match.

Neither work anymore. When you go to the game browser it just searches forever and ever and ever and ever. And quicmatch always times out.

Am I doing something wrong? How can I find a game? There can't possibly be NO games... or did they shut down multiplayer on this as well?

Argh. Thanks for any tips.

I can't help you, but I ensure you that they haven't shut down the multiplayer and that the server browser works for the majority of people (me included).

Try here.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

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

The game browser takes a while to connect to.
Quickmatch doesn't mean anything.

Until you see the game stats change from "Not Available" to any number then you'll know when you have successfully connected to the browser.

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

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

i had the impression the majority of people who picked this up could not get online. Seriously, does anyone think only a few hundred people bought Halo 2 Vista?

What should happen is someone at MS paying some programmer to do a few hours work and patch this stupid game-breaking bug.

This massive slap in the face to PC faring Halo fans doesn't seem to bother anyone here, not enough to make anything happen. I entertained the notion of organizing a class-action lawsuit but I don't think I could see it through.
