If they are I might buy the game for my Laptop. Have been thinking that for a while but no where sells it anymore.
So, if they are, should I put up an order on Amazon?

Halo 3

Yes. Don't expect Halo 2 Vista to be anything near addictive, though. I play it every now and then....just because it's Halo 2

:D

Yeah the servers are still online but only expect a few games to choose from on it because the community nowadays is very small

That one guy!

The Halo 1 servers are much more prosperous, therefore I advise you to get that. :)

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.

Hmm. Looks like I should bump my H2V FAQ.

First point I should make: If you have a laptop, chances are it's not gonna be able to run the game.

Second point I should make: There are servers, but the game usually only has 50-80 people on at any given time, never exceeding 100.

Far better getting halo 1 pc. Cheaper, better looking, higher pop, no mouse lag, custom edition...

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Shame about the net code in Halo 1 though, having to aim a few centimetres in front of someone to get a hit :S

Halo 1 is the dominate out of the two for PC. I don't see that changing. Mainly because it's easier accessible and probably more valued.

I already have Halo: CE for the PC. I just want Halo 2 Vista for the achievements.

Id suggest you get it, you can always find at least 1 completely full big team game and a few others. its worth getting.

  • 06.13.2011 6:58 PM PDT

Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

Yes, there are online games you can easily get into. However, very few people still play it. I think it's a great (almost HD for my laptop) port from Xbox to PC, and hey, there's still multiplayer.

  • 06.13.2011 7:13 PM PDT

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

It's like one big custom game lobby.

You can't have a decent competitive game where it's 4vs4 on a default map with default weapon with default settings.

Just got the game today in the mail. I wish there wasn't so many custom variant games, I'm a fan of defaults and there doesn't seem to be any servers for them

  • 06.14.2011 7:13 PM PDT

They are still up, and you can still buy a copy from Best Buy. At least all the ones I've been to

Then there is no reason you shouldn't get it. I just started playing it today, and I got 3 easy multiplayer achievments (triple kill, killing spree, and a kiljoy on a guy with 5 sword kills) all worth 20G.

And in all seriousness I find Halo 2 to be way more fun than Halo CE (for multiplayer anyways, despite the community being small).

Looks like someone got tired of respawning.
