Halo 2 PC Review

[AEP20rocks]

I have halo combat evolved and I Love it does anyone think I should get halo 2

[Deefboy95]

You know when the reviewer mentioned that the xbox controller may have an advantage over the mouse and keyboard setup, I'm wondering if servers can be set to "controller only" or "mouse only".

Does anybody know?

[ronvnkl232]

doesnt live up to 2007 standarts? lmfao its 2011 and still its one of the best fps you can find today thumbs up if you agree :D

[SuperReady17]

Halo 2 is imbalanced because of the weapons and the gamepad.

[jacketsj]

IT WORKS ON WINDOWS 7

THUMBS UP SO EVERYONE KNOWS

[duderme]

@jacketsj Windows Vista is nearly identical to Windows 7's architecture. People have known that it works since the Windows 7 beta came out.

[jacketsj]

@duderme yes but the UNgeeky people might not know that

that means NOT me

[garrysmodmoviemaker1]

Old game I know, but I just bought this (mostly for the campaign and that it was only 20 $), and I'm wondering, does anyone still play this on multiplayer?

[GameSkiller117]

how do u get halo 2 pc on xbox 360???

[MonkiFuzzProductions]

@GameSkiller117 did you seriously ask how to get a computer game on xbox 360? how retarded are you?

[GameSkiller117]

@MonkiFuzzProductions i meat how can u use ur xbox account on halo 2 pc cause it doesnt work for me

[GameSkiller117]

@MonkiFuzzProductions mean (not meat)

[MonkiFuzzProductions]

@GameSkiller117 what?

[mastardchief]

tell that to the covenant! BOOOMMMMM HALO's DESTRUCTION.

[GAMERSHARK100]

@superstickstuff You must have a kinda fast computer to play this so i recomend you gett a new one.

[Shayanreloaded]

Microsoft wanted to sell XBOX 360 controllers and that's why they added auto-aim

[GamingPrower]

This game won't run on my computer after getting Windows 7. Almost impossible to update live, after doing so, can't log in, asks for updates, I can't get into any options or anything on the game. The game runs horribly on good graphics cards and forces vsync. Absolutely embarrassing port.

[NikolaGB]

This game also works on Windows 7 :)

[waterhawk64]

can you still play the pc version online multplayer? cause i know you cant on xbox anymore.

[bowboy640]

@waterhawk64 yeh u can thats why i play it on the pc aswell as i still play reach ofc and its not rly different to the xbox version at all exept the map editor and server browser

[thebourneman]

[ThePremadeNoodles]

[YoshiFan100]

Fanboyish much?

[larse93]

Hey does halo 2 pc still have its online option? Because I know that the original halo 2 servers were shut down upon the release of halo ODST. Anyone know?

[K0Studios]

@larse93

Yes it is. There are lot of other better servers availeable, and people are not even sure if they were real microsoft servers.

[ass23ful]

the orignal halo 2 servers are still online

[cnDelta04]

@ass23ful

Not anymore.

[marouan97]

i suck playing fps and tps with controllers.

[thebourneman]

i h8 it when peole use a contrller and think they are good...

[lukeeeeee7]

well some times it gets annoying usint the W A S S keys.... im REALLY good at halo3 ive played 10 hours straight b 4 lol

[pokefanandy101]

f**k i have windows xp

[videogamemaster44]

i heard there's a patch you can download to make the game work for XP.

[DCRockerGuy]

i heard the patch is not working anymore

[videogamemaster44]

well i have Vista so i don't keep up with any of that.

[DCRockerGuy]

me too, and is this game any good like with the live feature?

[videogamemaster44]

lol i haven't even opened it yet but when i do i'll let you know

[pokefanandy101]

guys should i get halo ce or halo 2 pc, i want to know witch one is better and i want to play the one with more people xD and can both of them use xbox controllers?

[GenerationNS]

I recommend Halo 2 PC, and yes both are in use with the 360 Controller.

[jkdoorbinnia]

Do people still play the old halo games, and if so which is more popular Halo 1 or Halo 2.

[777677467767469]

will it work on an xp os? i've got quite a powerful computer but the only thing is that i've got xp installed onto it.... :(

[ASnoopcat]

I have a question, are the halo 2 pc servers the same ones as the xbox servers?

Because I was playing halo 2 (on the 360)

And everybody on there said they were on a pc...If this is true, could I play this on my computer and play with a friend thats on an xbox?

[SuperPerson32]

yeah man pc is becoming x-box. This is great because of the achievements and you can actualy have a free LIVE account which you can store friends on and message and a bunch of other things which is also compadible with the xbox 360

[pokemaste5]

the mapmacker on halo 2 pc is like forge 4 halo 3 on the xbox 360

[camoman2047]

that stuff about gamepads is dumb though becos no1has gamepads apart from 10000 year olds

[stiffeg]

the so called game pad is your own ps3 or xbox 360 controller, they both use usb ports, therefore compatbile with pc too

[masterhidsert1043]

lol i unlocked half of the achievements that had to do with multiplayer in the first time i played :P

[MrChickenTeeth]

nice

[brianlita1]

i may git it but do people play it?

[wesclev83]

does it only run on vista?

[MasterCheifFanBoy]

yes

[Silencer84]

dude WTF a PC REVIEW with them showing footage of playing the game with an CONSOLE?

[lukethedukea380]

i have halo 2, dose anyone want to have it im kinda bored of it

[JP27x]

I WANT IT

[kjettpack]

i want it

[crazyjorge2111]

I want it. My adress is 16732 Clearance oak road, Arlington Virginia and my zip code is 20872

[MrChickenTeeth]

do you think someone will give you a free game? ( actually I would because I am buying it today and I can buy 2 but the thing is I am not allowed to so sry)

[crazyjorge2111]

nah, that was a fake adress.

[JourneyMan19]

can it be used on windows xp?

[christi1992]

yes but only with a crack

[Foxtrot323]

No, it's exclusively for windows vista.

[5throth]

I must get his, but no one in 100 miles has it !!!

[masterdude89]

hey, do you have to pay for multiplayer??? comment back please

[4DUMBASSES]

only for ranked matchmaking and making a server, but other than that, no

[masterdude89]

so i can join a game but can't make one unless i pay??

[vukasinthevule]

yep

[4DUMBASSES]

yes you can join a game, i'm not sure about making one, cause i usually join other games

[nfrog]

actually those restrictions have been removed.

[kkdudexcore]

do you have it?if you do then do people play im thinking of buying it

[xxn00berxx]

is this for windose vista?

[4DUMBASSES]

yes

[4DUMBASSES]

can you turn off the auto aim with controller

[elpapifls2]

quee chingada quisiera que me respondieren si con el juego pirata puedo jugar online ???

[rcghalohell]

sob i hate the person sooo much

[rcghalohell]

i don't have xbox but i have pc and i wanted to get halo 2 since i had window xp..but then.....i....found..out...tha­t.....IT WAS FOR VISTA ONLY!!!!!!!!I HATE U WHOEVER THOUGHT OF THAT SHIT!!!!!!DDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[amartinez97]

ifu have a 360 u can get Halo 2 and play it on teh 360

[sccandudz]

its better on pc

i have xbox and pc version

[thebourneman]

pc games are always better because they usually have more content like dedicated server and map editor. and not forgeting 2 new maps and resolution upgraded double on the guns and the overall images. and you can hack and stuff with programs. so over all. pc is ALWAYS better.

[sccandudz]

not really the bourneman

it all depends on what type of gaming your into

i mean i use both pc and xbox and xbox is a lot easyer cause u dont need to keep updating your pc to keep with the latest games

+ lol uhh did u forget xbox has 2 maps that the vista version didnt get?

and i beleave that there better cause there not as nub with vehicles and shit

[crazyjorge2111]

no xbox live on it though

[sccandudz]

lol thats what windows live is

[crazyjorge2111]

No, i was responding to amartinez97. I meant to say that when you play an original xbox game on a 360, you wont get xbox live on it.

[sccandudz]

you can tho

its not th same as like halo 3 where u can be in party chat or achevments

[crazyjorge2111]

No, I mean if you insert the original xbox game on a 360, you wont have xbox live because you cant make an original xbox live account on a 360.

[sccandudz]

an xbox live account is an xbox live account

u make one on the dashbored and use it on and game supported by xbox live

and if u had a original xbox live account u can transfer it to 360

[crazyjorge2111]

nevermind you dont get it

[SWAT518]

if you use controller, your not a true pc player, so you probably suck, so the advantage isnt a big deal

[HHHSSS24]

should i buy this game

[twistedboy67]

no  u shouldnt

[Saintsrow4evr45]

no Halo 2 on xbox and Pc is really sketchy u may think different tho so buy it if u dnt like it lol giv it to gamestop for a couple buck (thats what i did)

[pspmastacheif]

do you have to have xbox live

[Saintsrow4evr45]

no...

[Connor6742]

I don't like how he talks about the auto aiming for the controller was bad, because if they didn't have that, the people with the mouse and keyboard controls would probably dominate the people who are using the controllers.

[solidus121212]

if your playing halo on the pc, it would seem pretty obvious players would use a mouse and keyboard, this isnt an xbox

[carlzz36]

halo 2 is the best halo and this looks like its even better

[Flypigz]

whenever i look back at the halo 2 graphics the biggest thing that bugs me is the framerate during cutscenes. after seeing todays graphics this problem became more prominent in my mind. still a decent game

[FunnyShittyStuff]

Halo: Best feature was the epic campaign.

Halo 2: Multiplayer is great but the campaign ended painfully.

Halo 3: Great story ending, awesome multiplayer. Probably the best of the three.

[PerfectGears1]

you're gay

[igotyou62]

major suckage why did i get this game why it sucks to the max

[carlzz36]

can i hav it ?

[igotyou62]

yes

[Tom5672]

Totally didnt see the fanboy rip's coming. Like, at all.

[young128]

yeah

[MichikoDreams]

Half-Life 2 really is fantastic. You should definitely get that for your PC, mm. Sorry this is so late, ha ha. If you did not get it already, go for "The Orange Box" because, WHAT a great deal! =D

[young128]

Nah man if u have an Xbox or Xbox 360 then get the Xbox version because the PC version kinda sucks
