Subject: Should I still but the PC versions of Halo 1 & 2?

LOLOLOLOL IMA BUNGEE BETA TESTOR LOLOLOLOL.

I don't remember where the article was, but in an interview with a 343 employee (Frank, I think) said that they would consider a H2A if CEA was successful.

If it's a choice between the two, Halo combat evolved is what you want, hands down.

If your thinking about halo 2, I honestly enjoyed its singleplayer, if your in it for the "HD" campaign rather than "hoping to relive the Xbox online" then you should buy it. As others have said the online is pretty dead, and the players are mostly children, not to mention the fact that MP is buggy almost beyond playing.

You're almost implying that CE has a better multiplayer experience... grow up. Actual multiplayer beats -blam!- netcode all the time.

Also, found some h2v keys, so I'll post a screenshot of the weekends this weekend or next weekend DusK. Suck my dick.

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.

Halo 2 players don't have those. Nice try.

CE does have a better multiplayer experience provided you can lead your shots. It's also more popular and at least supports PC properly. I enjoyed Halo 2 Xbox back in the day but H2V is not great at all. The population does not increase at all so stop kidding yourself, the only way that'll happen is if M$ decide to support the game and release one massive patch to try and set things straight which is highly unlikely.

And please, don't be immature about things...

You're asking way too much from a guy who can't shoot anything unless the game aims for him.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Awww yeah, -blam!- just got real.

There is a average of 200-400 servers still running for Halo Custom Edition. (its just and add on for the orignal Halo PC).

Also you can download custom user made maps.

There's also around 1,500 players on the 1.00 version of Custom Edition at any given time.

Implying there aren't any for halo 2.

H2v's HEK just plain sucked, but there are still some good maps out there.

Lots of people playing them too, right?

Only about 50 people average on at any given time, maybe two full 16-player games running, but if they are, they're only running Coag.
That's not true. I can go online at about 3am USA time and there will be at least 4 servers over half full and more with a few players in them.

Dusk, you are the most stuck up, arrogant person I've seen on these forums and that is only judging you by this thread.

So...less than 50 players?

You kids keep posting about how "wrong" I am, yet refuse to post screencaps. You are the ones that own that crappy game. Not me. PROVE me wrong.

Or learn to count. Either way, a point gets made.

4 servers at half full = 8 x 4 = 32 players. A few players in other servers is around 2-4 so it'd still be below 50, as it was the last time i checked the game.

Mathematical!

I would have gone that route, but instead I played the Atheist and put the burden of proof on him.

A whole 67 people! I'm impressed. Looks like I was wrong about the population being lower than many games of BF3; You guys managed to beat it by a whole 3 people. And the top servers are running such skill-based gametypes, like "Hog Wars" and "24x7CTF Tanks". H2V players are just too pro.

I'll come back after Christmas to check out that 200+ player screenshot from Tetris (lol), but until then, some statistics: BF3 PC had 66,118 players at 2:54 PM EST, not long after Syx took his H2V screenshot. Halo PC 1.09 had 472 around that same time. Also pay attention to the number of servers; I had the filter set to not display empty servers, so that's the number of HPC 1.09 servers with people in them.

All my opinion.

Only get it if you're willing to learn to mod for CE. By itself Halo PC isn't worth buying. The game's crap hit detection renders it more of a frustration than anything. Go google Gmax tutorials and stuff to get a glimpse of CE.

Hit detection isn't crap. It's the netcode that is. If you know how to lead you do in fact hit people. It adds to the skill gap tremendously. Of course, it is too much for most Halo players that are not only not used to leading, but are also used to games that hold their hand helping them hit people.

Someone didn't know how to lead their shots.

I blame CE's success on the fact that it is crazy easy to pirate. There are significantly less people on 1.09ce.

also, -blam!- it you win.
