Subject: Does anyone here actually play Halo 2 Vista?

Hello, it's probably been years since I've posted here, but here goes...

I found an old copy of H2Vista laying around in my room here and I was thinking of installing it if the player population is at least somewhat nominal.

Can anyone confirm that there is at least 200 players on H2vista at any given time?

Well then it seems that the population has grown by 20 over the past couple of years since I stopped playing.

LOL.

I would play it more if the game wasn't such a terrible port...

Besides, how often can a guy play ctf on coagulation? If people played more classic stuff like Zombies etc then i might be more interested.

But yeah, as someone stated, population is still under 100...no surprises there.

I keep hearing people say that, but, I never play CTF on Coag while there. My last three games were Team SWAT on Ivory Tower, Team Slayer on District, and a 1v1 on Lockout.

Zombies gametypes never work with online randoms (On Halo 2) None of the Classic Gametypes where you have to trust people to play by the rules do. That's why it's never played in an open server.

I may have exaggerated on the ctf coagulation a bit ;) however, its more or less the same 3 or 4 levels which is a shame, never see a map like headlong pop up anymore

You make a good point about the zombies, however, it could work if the community organised a game on the forums. However, i cant see this happening anytime soon but ah well.

Yeah, the last time I played on Headlong was a few days ago. It always seems to be Snipers on Headlong, too.

It would be next to impossible to do a community organized game, you're right. 90% outright hates the game.

Your right, it would be impossible to a community organized game. I find Halo 2 Vista to be boring when theirs a lack of variety in the games people host, always the same few maps and same gametype over and over again. Its fun for about 1-3 games, then it gets boring real quick and you don't end up playing again for weeks. I would consider myself as part of the 90% that outright hates Halo 2 vista for its online.

A zombie game would be fun on halo 2 vista, I've played zombie loads of times on halo 1 and its a great addition to the game for those seeking something other than the standard deathmatch or CTF

I have played zombies a few times on halo 2, but matches usually descend into chaos as more and more people join and don't follow rules.

Perhaps we could organise something together? I'd love to have some serious competition on halo 2 for a change :L.

Oh, if we are gonna suggest times, can we stick to GMT please? It will be easier if we all stick to a common "currency" so to speak.

Halo Custom Edition is where it's at.

The Human race is the parasite of the Earth. The galaxy is the host of the Earth. The universe is the parasite of something much grander...

I'll play I just picked it up for 10.00 @ Staples. I'll be honest most people say its crap but I have to disagree. It may be a straight port but the Multiplayer is decent and i like the server system plus quick match. I don't like that they didn't update the textures so on High Rez its still looks ugly. All in All its good I still don't know why Microsoft didn't just report it to xbox 360 as an arcade game or xbox original or Halo wars for that matter it would have been a hell of a lot better if they have it on PC as well.

It would be nice if we all could organise something, play some classics that you don't usually see these days, but as everyone has said, the amount of hate for this game could make that a problem...I for one am up for it at some point provided there is a sizeable amount of people willing to join too.

I only occasionally play it, and when I do, I do it for the "lulz", eg. dualing in a snipers match, magnum usage, needler usage, plasma pistols, things like that.
