Halo 1 & 2 for PC

Subject: Halo 2 PC Quickly!

Hello forum goers, I have but 1 simple question to ask:


What is the Halo PC population. Now now, I have seen a couple of these threads but none with a straight answer. I know this Ben guy says the population is fine while Dusk treats him like dirt.

So, I have Halo 1 for PC and there are only about 30 people playing and I still have fun. Even though there are only about 4-10 servers. (Some with only 1-4 people playing.)

I was wondering if Halo 2 PC was the same. My computer is Windows 7 and is more than capable than running Halo 2.

I was devastated when they cancelled Halo 2 for Xbox 360 and I wanted to know if the PC version was at least popular enough to have 2 servers with a decent population.


So, would Halo 2 be worth it in terms of population. I don't care about running into the same people and I barely lag EVER.

Halo 2 vista can be bought fairly cheaply, (got mine for 10 euro). Although the server count is diabolical here in Europe, i would imagine it would be better in America,it is still possible to find a fun game.

Also, only 30 people on your halo pc? Where do you live... if you don't mind. I get 100-200 people when I play

P.s. when/if you buy H2V, GET THE LATEST GAMES FOR WINDOWS CLIENT FIRST! This can solve update problems

Halo PC has an average of 500 - 1000 ppl online you can usually find a game. Halo 2 Vista is a waste of money, there are only 50 -100 ppl on at a time.

Halo Pc is only $20 dollars and its the best $20 I ever spent in my life. They have the gall to charge over $30 for Halo2PC.

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.

Those used to be the numbers, back in the day. It peaks at maybe 50 now. Usually less.

You know, you should stop by the Maw and say hi. A lot of people left, but we miss ya.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

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

Here is my take on Halo 2 Vista.

You're a little too late. I truly believe that Halo 2 Vista had two great years. These years were 2007 and 2008. I got it on release and I am telling you that H2V nowadays just doesn't compare.

The community is extremely small, but it is also very drama-based. The hacking era took over and it got out of control very fast. Server crashers used to run Halo 2 Vista for a while. It was very disappointing. Things smoothed out, but then it was hard to tell who was legit and who was not. The communities continued to clash and the entire Halo 2 Vista experience (for me at least) just wasn't there anymore.

I still check in with MonstrMoose every now and will continue to do so. But when it comes to playing it at a nightly basis (like I used to), it seems now that I just rather jump on another game.

Yep, Gunmonkey killed h2v, and then I made one of the biggest and last remaining clans move to CE. And they liked CE better too. I wonder why......
