So I see a server. 15/16 players, Battle Creek. Looks good, so I join. And what do I see when the game loads? People running around with rockets.

Why do people actually find rocket-only games fun? It's the direct opposite.


FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME SENSE!
I'll tell you why most people in Halo PC think that - It's because the Halo PC community have been overrun by little 3 year olds who say "Oh noes! Pistol is too small and boring! Rockets are teh PWNZ0RS!" It's a shame, it's the one thing that's made me not play Halo PC anymore.
Nowadays I play Halo CE, which is MUCH better. Most people are mature and i've never ever seen a rocket-only game in CE.

For all your sakes, I hope Halo 2 Vista doesn't have the same fate. I'm getting a 360 soon, so bye bye PC Halo's! Therefore, I don't really care about whether noobs will infest H2V too.
But for those who are computer gamers, I fear for you...

I'm there but, man this is really starting to sound like communism.
Long live the MAW.

actually, Xbox live does have alot of little kiddies who think over-killing and then corpse-humping you is fun. Halo 2 Vista will require alot more money to buy then your average Halo PC. upgrading to Vista and all, which means that only people with jobs will be able to afford it. this meaning more mature people.

It's simple: esey kills that go BOOM! Some people like to see things explode, or like to have esey kills. Therefore, they like rocket servers. If you don't like them, don't play them. it's prety esey to find a good server, just look at what weapon set it has in the "server rules" line on the server browser.

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

If you forget that those are the same people that mod their Xboxes and pirate games.

Vista and Halo 2 Vista is no different.

I have no idea. This is exactly why I don't play Halo PC anymore. Every server I join, we start with rockets. In fact, it's rare to find a 'normal' server.

Yeah, There's nothing wrong with the occasional rockets game. CTF on Hang Em High with rockets is actually pretty fun. Since you really have to use teamwork to get the flag back to your base. You'll most likely get SPNKR'd before you take two steps and the flag goes flying. Forcing your buddies to chase it down.

My motto is: Don't -blam!- about the game when there's a "Leave Game" button.

I hate playing a game with rockets (Heavy Weapons) only, unless it's BG CTF with all vehicles (for the map BG) enabled.

I haven't played Halo PC in a while, but yeah the all rockets (Heavy Weapons) servers certainly got annoying(see all rocket (Heavy Weapons) servers all the time but none with just rifles *cries*). Well anyways from what I can remember I used to end up joining rocket matches quite often because there were so many of them but then I just start clicking on the server once and letting the little bar with the server info slide across so I could see what the weapon sets were (and this kind of got a little annoying too).

After a while I ended up getting "lucky" and I mostly ended up in servers with the default weapon set. Even though Heavy Weapons servers are among my least favorite I play them once in a while for a change of pace.

in my opinion i think rockets are fun because on small lvls its really chaotic but when there is a big one with sniper its like impossipbe to move.Because once some1 finds a good sniping spot for owning its over. every time u die they are going to be able to snipe you as soon as u appear and it gets so annoying that it makes u leave. all the ather weapon besides those two are booooooooorrrrrrrriiiinng. its not chaotic u know what i mean?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

The default weapons sets lend balance to the game. I prefer to fight for the rocket launcher and score some easy kills ... if everyone has them it's not nearly as fun. You don't find too many rocket games in MAW, HMC or TUI servers.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I like rockets games on Halo 2 because I enjoy blowing things up. :p

I don't really like rockets, but they're part of the game. However I stay away from those servers who only use heavy weapons. I don't find them fun.

I don't mind heavy servers too much, but now when I compare them to a classic weapon set, with pistols, shotties, and sniper rifles, I just can't bear to play them without thinking I'm losing a consirable amount of skill lowering myself to use the rocket launcher in a heavy weapons server.

Why is it the whole world is celebrating the release of Halo3 except Bungie's Halo 3 forums?

Sorry to burst your bubble but the pc communtity is much maturer than the xbl community. Any xbl/pc gamer will know this to be true.

Rockets make for one boring game. Ya know what I like, snipers. I don't like pistols mainly because they were not made to be liked. In fact, look at nearly any first person shooter from the past and today and you'll find that with the exception of 007: The Man With the Golden Gun that pistols were only added as a back-up weapon that you shoot off a couple times before someone takes you out.

I've never used XBox live, but it would make sense for a bunch of little kids to infest it. Little kids most likely have trouble using a mouse/keyboard setup to play (even I did when I started). We have a term for those who need to cheat or use big guns to win, and that would be n00b.

'Nother thing, dedicated servers can have as many lag problems as a computer would have; in fact, I can't see a difference in ping. However, lots of people figure that you can support 16 people on an average DSL connection and end up with super lag. I had a problem like that the other day when I was on someones server. He said he had 1.5mb/s DSL, which is really only good fo 10 people.

PC Halo is falling apart.
