Is it worth it? Are there many online matches that go on? Will I find a match easily?

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.

No, no, and no.

To elaborate on each question:

I've lost count of the problems with H2V that make it not worth the price tag. Honestly, it really wouldn't merit its installation size as a free game. You can see my list in another thread.

There are not many matches. They fit on maybe half to a third page in the game browser, with a small handful of those games bearing a decent population. You'll find 2, maybe 3 (if you're lucky) games with over 10 players in them, usually running cookie-cutter Coag gametypes.

Finding a match easily depends. Setting up GfWL if you don't already know how to do it is a hassle, and the browser doesn't even like to show games half the time. It's the single-worse game browser in PC FPS history.

After all these years, I'd say yes. Not much controller support, though; It doesn't feel the same as the Xbox version. But if you can rock the kb/m FPS style, as all real men do, the game's a blast.
