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.

If I buy a boxed version will I be able to play online?

A boxed version is the only way to purchase the game. No digital distribution service offers these games. It goes without saying that if you get a physical copy, you can play online.

A Halo 2 Vista box version said it contained 24 (I think 24) extra maps, are those the Map Pack maps?

Yep.

I heard some Xbox maps were not on the Halo 2 Vista version, is there a way of modding them in (if that is acceptible) or getting them?

Two maps didn't make it in, but they were remade by the community. Nobody plays them, though. Actually, only 3 maps ever see any action online.

Does Halo PC work for Vista?

Yes.

How do you recommend I buy it? Boxed or download? I prefer boxed versions but Im not sure if its best in this situation.
If you feel a download version is better please give me a link to a legitimate download place.

See above.

You should also know that almost nobody plays H2V (averages 50 players), and all in all, it's an extremely bad port.

To add to this, you should buy a brand new copy of both where possible. Halo 2 Vista has a very nice feature where you can only install it 5 times before the CD key becomes useless ;)

I love that feature!
