So, I got Halo 2 not so long ago. But I have noticed that there are not that many people online. I would like to get people together to Play some FFA or something. I really miss the good old Halo 2 days where FFA's were everywhere...

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.

Nobody plays it because PC players don't play bad games.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

H2v is the best game ever, which is why only 20 people play it.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

i bought it and ran it on a 7600gt just fine.
then i built a new pc with 4 times the specs and i cant get more than 15fps on low in halo2vista which im running on windows 7.

When i can play far more modern games just fine it proves that it was horribly ported

Play one of the hundreds of better PC games and you'll know why nobody bothers with H2V.

Remember Reach

I would play but I can't sign into Windows LIVE on Halo 2 PC. I can sign on website and on Xbox 360, but not on PC :(

  • 03.21.2011 9:19 AM PDT

I play it.
But theres a few issues
With my brand new 900 dollar PC it lags.
Why is my 3ghz quadcore processor and 4gbs of ram lagging this? i have only a gig of dedicated video memory but still.

So you can see me on from time to time.

also the Controller to Pc thing sucks, all 3 controllers ive tried lagged like all hell

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

Blame fired gun. They tested it on only 2 or 3 PCs, so it's broken on most PCs.

I have it, but I only play through the campaign for the achievements. Even then, with a GeForce 9200M GS video card (HP laptop) that runs Halo 1 like a champ at 100+ FPS, I can barely squeeze in 30 with Halo 2 Vista.

Just as a comparison, I can run Modern Warfare 2 with decent graphics and maintain over 40 FPS, but H2V... not a chance.

It works flawlessly on my PC for me.

If anyone still plays, add me for customs. Gamertag: GodsAncients

What kind of PC do you have? Or are you just not noticing the issues?

Oh, and H2V stutters on both a Nvidia GTX 260 and an ATI 5650 for me.

Pentium Dual Core @ 3ghz
4gb DDR2 RAM
Radeon 4670 overclocked

running @ 1920x1080 with 4x anti-aliasing

It runs perfect. It used to have an nvidia 9800GT, it had issues with the mouse when I was running the 9800GT.

My old laptop
3gb ram
Ati radeon (older model)
and 1.6 ghz processor ran this game much nicer than my new comp >.<

The game is very inactive, but with contacts to some guys you'd have no problem getting into games prefered by good players. (FFA's and 4's.)

There are two kind of communities that play these gametypes; it is the clans and the Halo3Forum.com communities.
The clans tend to have a lot, and I mean alot of drama between members and other clans. If you wear a clan tag, you have a much higher chance of getting banned from some servers, simply because one member in the clan you would be in, has hacked, that often leads to a ban of the entire clan. I know it's very stupid, but that's how the politics work.

Then there's the Halo3Forum.com mostly called H3F, this is where the the best players, montage makers and veterans usually hang out, we are very chill, and mainly outsiders of the clan communities, since we don't bother about it.
If you join H3F and say I (Brooney) suggested you to go there, you would have no problem getting accepted quickly, since I am one of the more respected guys there =)

That is wrong, there was a rather big amount of testers, I know this because TheHaloGod (That montage guy) used to update us on his web forums back in 2006/2007, about Halo 2 PC (HaloBoards and GamingVidz.)

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.

Huh. Maybe all my H2V gripes are due to my running the exact same GPU. The same one that has issues with Halo PC on Vista when decals are enabled. Wait, no... I doubt the empty H2V server browser can be blamed on my GPU.. thanks for this info though, Ancients.

Yeah no problem. I've been playing a lot more lately.
