I downloaded Halo 2 off Pirate Bay to see if it was as bad as everyone say and see if it worth buying and from what I played it was incredible. I was impressed as I was expecting the game to be bad and its the same as the xbox version with better graphics and better controls using keyboard and mouse. I planing on buying but one more question do people still play online I expect their be like 200-500 people playing but is it easy to find a game with a few people playing?

Here is a list of the reasons why...

1. Lack of mod tools and tag editors, they're worse than their console equivalents
2. Ridiculous system req. for a console game and pointless requirements like Vista
3. Unexplained issue's with Windows 7, works with some and not with others
4. Mouse lag with anything higher than 60fps, one of the few games on PC where using a controller is actually better thanks to the ridiculous auto-aim
5. Missing basic features, no online co op, no ranks and leaderboards for the competitive players
6. Lack of support, MS completly abandoned Halo 2 and refuse to acknowledge it.

Im sure there are plenty more reasons people could add to that list, to answer your question, there is only 50-60 players online at any given time, there's no MM so expect to play alot of Coagulation and Lockout. Halo 2 had so much potential but the fact is, it's really only fun for the hardcore Halo 2 fans who just want to play Halo 2.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

A few of the problems (mouse lag, auto-aim) could have been fixed with post-release product support, except that never happened.

But aside from that, listen to Wilis.
