PC gamers like my self think halo 2 is going to be the ugliest game out on the pc? Also will halo 2 flop for the pc version? i really think MS should not even bother porting this game over to the PC, but that is just my opinion.

I don't have vista but even if I didn't I wouldn't get halo 2. BF2, BF2142, CS: S...they all have better multiplayer. I dunno if console standards are really low or something but I found halo 2's online to be really nothing great at all. It was more of a "oh yeah thats cool, halo online yeah this is fun" then I got bored after like a week.

I agree, even though I love Halo I gotta admit the action and feel is abit too slow paced for PC, but fits perfectly with a controller/console even though you gain some aiming with the mouse it still doesn't feel right plus the visual will probably feel a bit outdated. I'm possetive it will still be a great game though that many will enjoy...or hate :P

why are they even porting this game, if you havent played Halo 2 by now its because you have no interest for the game. and by the way i think Halo 3 is going to flop, just my opinion.

i think its because MS thinks pc gamers are easy to milk off of. but yah i just do not see this game selling at all. they should just not even try to port it over. Pc gamers are going to have a field day dogging the crap out of this game when it comes out.

They should know by now that PC gamers are the hardest to milk. No ones going to use their crap live anywhere service unless we ALREADY have a live account, I doubt many people will bother with Halo 2 on the PC (I mean Halo 2 console is already a ghost town), and we expect quality new games.

Halo 2 console is a ghost town? It's still the 2nd most played game on Xbox Live after Gears of War.

1. No(at least thats what I've heard) 2. Probably but silver still lets you play online, only PC vs PC.

for the first question you can use the same account for both, as for the second you can use Live Silver just to play standard PC Mulitplayer, for cross-platform and other features Gold is required

Doesn't matter the game is 3 years old. They probably figure any more porfits we could pull out of this game is a good thing.

That's probably because no one was in matchmaking. A lot of people set up games over live with their friends in lieu of using matchmaking.

PC gamers are the hardest to milk lol- a brand new game gets released for £30.... then u find out to get decent graphics at a decent framerate u need to spend £300 on a graphics card- u can just hear the tills jingle in the background.

Hence it felt like a ghost town.
