Subject: Halo 2 for Windows vistas servers gone(halo 2 community dieing?)

Recently before the new year all of halo 2s servers were gone and no one could play online with each other. many of my friends were upset all you could do was campaign. now they seemed to relaunch the servers but allot less people are playing. its been closing and re-opening. any thoughts on this?

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.

Just one: LOL.

  • 01.06.2012 11:26 AM PDT

bungie does not own the official rights to halo anymore its Microsoft and 343. Microsoft bought them out

And maybe the government did 9/11.

Yeah, that's how much sense you're making right now. They want to shut down H2V servers so they can move everyone over to the system that they shut down the H2 servers for months ago?

well if they aren't doing that to make people who want to play halo get an xbox so they can play halo. then you explain how come halo 3 ,odst , halo wars , reach and anniversary aren't on the PC.

Because H2V was a colossal failure and they don't want to repeat that.

Because they don't know how to port games correctly in-house for the PC, which is why HPC was the only successful PC Halo game; it was ported by Gearbox.

Because they know that PC gamers just don't want a game like Halo after releasing the only game in the series palatable to a PC FPS audience (HCE) and they don't want to appease a vocal minority.

Should I keep going?

I'm going to try to enlighten you...Halo 2 Vista is a poor PC game, it's pretty much an Xbox game pretending to be a PC game. It's incredibly poorly ported, with numerous bugs, GFWL errors, missing features and content and one of the few games on PC where using an controller is actually better than the m+k. That, and it's horribly unoptimised, some people with more than capable rigs suffer fps issue's with this game.

It had potential, Halo PC shows that a Halo game could work on PC. But Hired Gun dropped the ball and messed up. As for the whole server incident, it's probably just a routinely server update nor do I care, I only play the game occasionally, today being the first time in a while.

Hopefully you now understand.

EDIT - DusK beat me to it..

They're obligated to keep support until later 2012. As soon as that's over they're most likely going to take it down.

Who is this "Btc22" guy? I bet he's terrible.

LOL
i highly doubt it there is like no one on
also while were throwing random pointless opinions in each others faces. i personally dislike reach. the graphics are good and thats it the multiplayer is awful the powerups and everything messes it up. its complexity isnt fit for the xbox console or any thing. also the xbox is a cheapy piece of junk. you have to pay to go online while EVERY other system its free. red ring of death. happens to much. CHEAP. honestly im glad Bungie is now working with activision and there making a new game. if you hate the halo 2 game so much UNINSTALL IT. dont play it and stop posting comments on here! if microsoft REALLY wanted money they would have expanded halo to other systems not just cheapy fragile xbox. so mor people can play it. and actually listen to customer reviews etc. hmmm why i dont know how about to IMPROVE the cheapy pile of junk wich is called xbox and expand more games. ALL HALO PC HATERS STAY OUT OF THE HALO PC FORUMS. why are you here?

I don't know about this. I've never really viewed Reach as being a complex game.

ok maybe some wont view it as complex but every thing else i still stick by it.

Can you C what I C?

FYI, I'm not a Halo PC hater. I love that game. I hate H2, though.

it's not the game which is a failure but the late date it was released. it could have done so much better if it was released in 2005
