Hired Gun ported the game horribly. Literally, it's so poorly coded that in some cases there isn't even an explanation for why the game doesn't work...it just won't.
It's had various issues such as the one you're describing, pointless crashes, GFWL errors (usually fixed by updating the client first before the game), poor optimisation with some users struggling to maintain 60fps on PC's more powerful than mine whereas i have no trouble (inconsistent optimisation), poor net code, graphics settings aren't that improved over Xbox (i believe someone said it just upscales rather than true resolutions but unsure of that), Aim assist for 360 controller is superior to M+K due to the way the M+K is implemented etc.
The list could go on. And lets not forget, to add to all these bugs which may warrant a new install (or attempted install ^.^) it uses up the one of 5 CD key installs after which, the game will become useless, requiring a new copy.
Cool game huh? I wish Gearbox or someone else had ported the game, Halo 2 possibly could have been a good game for PC. Not outstanding, but still a good/decent game like the original Halo was.
