Subject: So I just bought Halo 2 PC.

It'll be arriving next week.

Now I have Win 7 64-bit, so it's basically a 50/50 chance I'll have trouble installing it.

Anyways, a few questions.

1. If I have Xbox Live, will it work for online for the Halo 2 PC? If yes, do I need to do anything to set it up? If no, how do I play online?

2. Is there a matchmaking system for Halo 2 PC or is everything customs?

3. Who wants to play?

Halo 3

Your xbox live account will be used for your online play in H2V. Just follow the instructions, really. All you have to do is kind of just. . . sign in!...with your windows Live ID. (should be the same userID/email and pass as the one you use to link your gamertag with bungie or w/e)

It's customs. No matchmaking, and no ranks. There are dedicated servers with a game lobby, but you can also create your own game with your own custom options publicly- people can join you no problem. I love creating games :p

i'll probably play, but I just got addicted to another game (Diablo 2) again, so i won't be on too often. my gamertag is drunky1993, in case you wanna add me.


Oh btw, you will receive a lot of hate for H2V in the PC forum. They just plain hate Halo 2, lol.

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

I don't "hate" H2. Most of us don't "hate" H2. H2v is a horrible port though. The majority of people who use a mouse and keyboard have mouse lag. It's crap.

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.

The game is actually inherently pretty fun when you set up a controller

Which is why it's not a PC game, but rather a console game pretending to be a PC game.

  • 04.02.2011 10:34 PM PDT

Yeah; I'll be using a 360 controller.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

Enjoy your built in Aimbot.

"Aimbot" is not a proper noun, it should be "aimbot".
And it should be "built-in" not "built in".

lol. good...job?

Anyways, Halo 2 doesn't have aimbot. It has a small assist. Skill gap is very apparent. That's why I pwnt Jacob in H2V ;)

Probably because it was 10PM, and I was using mouse.

Did you mean to say that you were using 'a' mouse.

Also, use proper English. You can't start a sentence with the word 'probably'.

Freakin' LOOOOOOOL'd hardcore at this. "Small" assist? Skill gap in H2? Dear God, kids these days.

I can't come up with a proper counter-argument, so I'll attack your grammar instead.

It's how I deal with Trolls.

I don't feed them, I just try to frustrate them.
I take the tactical approach.

  • 04.04.2011 4:56 AM PDT

There is dedicated servers and also I am online quite a bit. So go ahead and add me.

Halo 3

Dusk don't say anything. You still refuse to vs me in Halo 2. There's no skill in the game, so you should be able to win 25-0. Come on, no excuses! Don't -blam!- out on me like this. I accepted a small challenge in Halo, now it;s your turn. All talk man, all talk!

And for the love of god, don't respond to this with the bs you LOVE to give me. You can either accept that you don't want to risk losing, or give it a shot.

If he thought H2X was crap, what makes you think he has H2V?

Next we'll play Chutes & Ladders! Then we'll play Mouse Trap. You can't handle my l33t trap-building skillz.

But seriously, H2 takes 0 skill to play, and thus isn't a decent competitive atmosphere, which is why it's borderline retarded for you to challenge someone to a 1v1 in that game.

Besides, it's like Conks said. I played H2X, and it was crap. Why would I waste my money on something that's apparently even worse than that? Would you pay $20 for a piece of human fecal ma- oh wait, you would. Well, us normal people wouldn't.

Yeah, thought so. Well I guess it's ironic that you would tease me for initially "dodging" your challenge to a 1v1 in CE. Then again, you are that generic kind of guy.

Yeah, but notice how I challenged you to a skill-based game instead of the FPS equivalent to Candyland that you keep trying to yank people into.

Halo 3

ok so. . . with that response you're reinforcing the fact that you're a noob at H2V and a p.ussy. Makes sense. But I knew that all a long.

I call H2V a game catering to the unskilled, and instead of providing any example as to how I might be wrong, you resort to childish namecalling. Again.

We could pretend that you took the route that any mature person age 18+ would have taken, and you could provide a legitimate and well-thought explanation to counter my claim, but that didn't happen (never has, actually), so I really see no point.
