Subject: Halo 2 not updating

So finally after finishing Halo CE on Legendary (the secret scene was priceless) , I install Halo 2 , as its the only Halo I havent played.
But when its says its updating, after signing in on my Live ID, it stays updating, and updating, and updating when it reaches almost the end of the download bar.
Im I doing something wrong?

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.

Nothing's wrong with it. It's a feature to enhance the game experience.

You are aware that your comment doesnt answer the question of "why is my game not updating?", right?

The game is horrible. The only good thing about it is the campaign, and even then it is still bad.

From graphical issues, to framrate going down for no reason, and the totally noobified gameplay, this game is pathetic.

The multiplayer just sucks. The campaign, although it has 15 levels, is very short and requires that the only weapon you need is the battle rifle.

If you are going to play the game on legendary then you might want to plug in a controller. It gives you free aimbot. LOL

"requires that the only weapon you need"?

There is a huge gap between Halo 1 and 3, and thats the only thing that stops me from understanding everything.
Plus, I choose the PC version because of Achievements...
Seriously, why is my game not updating?

Huh? you don't know?

Like I said, it's a feature to enhance the game experience. It's a good thing. You should be thanking Hired Gun right now.

So let me get this.
You are saying that my game NOT updating is a good thing, and that I should be thankful because my game is not working as it should?
I fail to see your logic, so please, explain.

You see, Hired Gun realized that a game not working is what the PC community wants. We want bad software. We want it to not work. By giving us badly-written software that doesn't work much of the time, Hired Gun enhanced the Halo 2 experience for us.

It really is a good game. When you're looking at that update screen, you're playing Halo 2 as it was meant to be played.

The game is a shoddy port with a huge amount of bugs that just shouldn't be there with very poor PC support. Since no one's likely to give you an answer, try to update the GFWL client separately then try running the game. If that doesn't work then thank Hired gun for ruining what could have been a decent PC game ;)

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

No one knows why. We're all powerless to fix it. Only Microsoft can know, and they ain't talking.

So.....how do you "update the GFWL client separately" as Wilis_kid said?

Here.. http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/LIVE/PC/DownloadClient I doubt it will make much of a difference, but try updating that separately, im pretty sure you have to delete something in H2V as well but i never had the issue and can't help you with that. Maybe someone who has knowledge other than the game being a shoddy port, will be able to help. Best of luck.

Although I do not know the answer to your question, I can explain to you why you've been getting bogus responses. In short: Everyone that has posted here has some sort of deep hatred for Halo 2 and/or Halo2 Vista in general, and don't think anyone should buy the game for various reasons, personal or not.

Your post is just as useless as all of the other ones.

I finally get it working!
I needed to install the GFWL client, and the game updates with it, so it works.
Thanks guys!
Now I have another problem.....
How do I change the language?
Its all in spanish, and although my PC is in spanish, I want to play with the original voices.

Nah.
I'm sure it cleared up the OP's confusion as to why he would get these random comments that actually stirred further confusion rather tham getting at the problem.
