Subject: Just played through Halo 2 PC

So I decided, why not have it on PC. I have it on Xbox but PC has better graphics and who knows; with the next console, whenever that may come out, original xbox games may no be compatible. Anyways, I beat it several years back but didn't really understand the story as much. Now it all makes sense. Having more background knowledge on the Halo universe and knowing what comes after Halo 2. Everything kind of fell into place and all the dots connected.
Was anybody a little lost by the story when they first played it?

I am from Mars, that is why I wear red and was issued the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant helmet, was also issued the experimental version of the Camo unit, that is why i have the Recon shoulder. I excel at CQB, hence the CQC shoulder. I have trained extensively with operation of vehicles therefore the armor on my left side is more substantial and the GPS navigator. the ODST chest is because I was embedded with a unit from the 105TH for 7 SpecOP missions, I have a great respect for them

i play the crap out of Halo 2 back in the day. i remember think, damn we have to play as an elite, no way. made me think about how the covenant were not just mindless aliens.


i have another question for you. can you play online VS other people? i get this picture when i try to go online.

This happens apparantly if you try to go online straight away, try playing campaign first, before switching to LIVE. It's a bug with the game, but it should sort itself out if you play Campaign first (used to have to do that on my laptop, never had the problem on my pc)

To the original topic, i skipped all the cutscenes right up until the first Arbiter level, i was so confused at that point that i stuck the elites at the beginning and assumed the MC had been transformed into an Elite...boy was i stupid, watched every cutscene from then on :P

thanks for pointing that out.

i played Halo 2 for the first time on a 19 inch tv, i still have it in fact. i remember think it was the greatest looking game i had ever seen.
