For Carnage Apply Within - We played Marathon before Marathon was cool!

Keep it authentic...

If I move my Halo 2 folder from my Microsoft Games folder to my desktop and copy it from there to my brother's desktop, when my brother tries to sign in it asks him for his product key. If I type it in for him, will I have to do so for myself next time I play on my computer log in?

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.

No, you won't have to re-input your CD key as far as I know, but installing the game on your brother's computer will count toward the 5 times you can install the game before the key becomes unusable.

Also, it sounds like you might be trying to set it up so you can play online together. You won't be able to if you use the same key.

Actually, that's the funny thing. You can. I've tested it out before. Funny how that works, right?

Wait, so you're telling me that H2V actually does something good that most other PC FPS games don't?

Mind = blown.
