Halo PC/CE/Trial is also free to play online.

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.

Yep. It wouldn't be a true PC FPS if it was any other way.

You can use a gamepad, however if you're just getting into PC gaming, i'd say use M+K as it is the only way you will ever learn how to compete. It's far superior to gamepad's anyway. However, i will recommend using a 360 controller for H2V since it's the only PC game where it actually is better to use...

As for Halo PC, you need to set up the buttons but there will be no aim assist and it doesn't always work correctly. Stick with the M+K.

It's free from what I know.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Both games are free to play and you can use both a gamepad and a keyboard/mouse to play. Personally I like using a 360 controller when playing Halo 2 vista and Halo PC.
