Subject: So why does H2V suck?

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

I know the multiplayer sucks, but whats wrong with the game overall?

"A life lived for others is the only life worth living" - Albert Einstein

"I have your RCON right here." - Iggwilv

"Always my pleasure to be lazy." - InvasionImminent

Many many reasons. Too many for me to get into right now. Compatibility errors, low population, GFWL errors, GFWL its self, a map editor that is a downgrade from the previously made HEK, extreme constrictions, bad optimization, little settings customization, no field of view options (To be fair this effects many other PC games as well), etc.

You can download a fov editor for H2V, just not sure where, the problem is that because of Bungie screwing around with overlay animations for looking up and down and the fact that the reticle is not centered, high fov settings look horrible and the weapons generally start pointing away from the reticle...

I agree with you on everything else

Mice lag, ridiculous performance, bad custom maps maker, networking doesn't work well, little customization options. If you don't have a controller, it's unplayable.

Meh, like the rest of the games without it, it's common to have FoV programs that the community makes. I'd rather the developer put it into the game its self. It's still a negative to me. The same with HPC (To a greater extent.)

I highly disagree with this. I have a Xbox 360 wired controller that I've used while playing Halo 2 Vista. I'm much better with the keyboard/mouse on it. It's definitely not "unplayable". I won't deny that it isn't of the quality it should be by any means, though.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Free aimbot with controller and mouse lag without controller.

It is a horrible horrible throw away port job done by amateurs.

Nobody plays it for good reason, it sucks bad.

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.

Yeah, if you like next to no population and gameplay that only pretends to take skill.

Why do you all complain about mouse lag?

If you're half the pc gamers you pretend to be then you'll have already upped the mouse polling rate.

And if you were a PC gamer, you'd know that the highest polling rate available won't fix crappy mouse programming in a game.

I can vouch for the GFWL errors, apparently LIVE isn't available in my region if I have an Ethernet cable plugged into my PC. Can only play with Wireless..

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

If it sucks, why're you getting it? Most of us have had the game thinking it would be a good PC port similar to Halo PC/CE but that went out the window thanks to the poor job Hired Gun did.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

A few more:

Voice chat broken, CD key limit, dedi server is utter 5h17 and requires GFWL and limited key, broken mouse support, requires an ultra fast PC, has issues on 7 and fails on 8, poor community, etc.

oh really, you tested it on windows 8? Because my dev preview won't even let me install any game. Special version or something?

This is what he is referring to.

By the way, I think it will work in the full release of Windows 8. They just didn't have it working in the preview.

It's interesting that Microsoft would slip up on something such as this. If i understood correctly, none of their GFWL games are working? And yet, one of the key aspects of Windows 8 is how it's supposed to unify LIVE across all platforms? Odd, but it's to be expected.

Hey Tetris, can I laugh in your face when H2V doesn't work with Win8 retail?

Yes, but I will return the favor when it does.

@JacobG: and derp, my laptop can run h2v at max settings, it's a fairly cheap ultralight I bought used for less than $400.
