What if I'm using "Linear - Newest First" display mode! Then what!

Anyhow, Hopefully the first GAME update will address a lot of the issues that we've been having. Hopefully HG can actually do something. And HOPEFULLY H2V doesn't go the way of HCE and get a lousy one entire update after launch.

Haven't you heard? They've stopped supporting Halo 2 Vista allready.

At least CE was based off of Halo 1.04 which was already patched several times, then we got one last patch to bring it up to 1.07. With H2V, we'll be lucky if we even get one real patch.

if it wasn't for halo 3 I would care more about developing for Halo 2 (Vista) :v

please, everyone here should have just written that $50 off in june like i did.... a hugely lacking game not worth being a coaster.

heres what you do... when microsoft gets around to porting Halo 3 in like 4 years, DON'T BUY IT! and for that matter any game that has "windows live" written at the top, don't buy it either.

sooner than later they will figure out that online multiplayer for PC games is and will always be free!

There wont be a Halo 3 ported over. H2V was only ported because Halo 1 did so well. Halo 2's port utterly failed, so there's pretty much no reason for them to want to port it.

[Flyboy]

It wasn't successful on microsofts behalf because of a bad business move on vista. Both Halo PC and H2v were half assed in their own ways, however people actually baught Halo PC for one simple reason.

They could play it without having to upgrade.

well i actually think h1pc was a great game, and i still play it from time to time. peak times (8-2 est) there are usually around 1,000-1,500 players online, lots of regulars... ive yet to see a multiplayer game match halo1 for control and fun... and with the new sightjacker for h1pc (imega.therevisited.com) its much much better cuz bots are easily spotted.

as opposed to h2v with at most 50 players. but, if everyone that actually bought h2v actually played it somewhat regularly thered be thousands. i'm guessing most ppl had a similar 2 day experience with h2v like i did.

I played the multi on it for maybe 2 days... my tolerance for the 'press x to delay' was short lived. thats all it took for me.

DO NOT BUY ANY WINDOWS LIVE GAME!!!

Guess you were on the wrong server(s)... or before 'some servertool' existed...

[Syuusuke]

Not all severs have that app though =/

And there are about 100+ (I was only able to count non-full servers) players...
