-AD-Ewok Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hey, though theres threads asking if anyone still plays, I'm wondering if someone can give me a rough number on how many people are usually playing Halo 2 for PC. I only got Halo CE for PC months before H2 came out on PC so I've never really had an interest in H2PC because they took out race type, required vista, and I was still having fun on CEPC. It looks like it's only 15$ brand new now and I want an active Halo environment without shelling out the $ for a live membership to play Reach multiplayer ( I really can't afford a monthly fee with my tuition). CePC is pretty much dead at 300-600 players online unfortunately. Is there a decent clan scene with Halo 2 PC? I'll be greatful for any status updates with this game.

Snipeside Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 120 - 260 Players IF that. The game is far from vibrant, and people claim it's a terrible port from the Xbox version. If you ask me, leave the game be and just remember how you enjoyed back in the day. The PC version is far from vibrant, and it pretty much just broken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AD-Ewok Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks for the info. I don't think I will bother getting it then. I wouldn't call the PC version broken, dying, yes. Wish I could leave the game be but there is none other FPS I like that have the same vehicle usage. If you have any suggestions for PC FPS like Halo in that way that would be awesome. But either way thanks so much for the rough count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchy Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I didnt know Halo was for the PC, almost makes me want to buy a copy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinreaper Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 First off Snipesnide, the port is exactly how it was on Xbox 1. Vibrant, is a good way to describe it, it has seen some pickup in the last few months. The reason it is not the stellar title it could be, is simply because it requires Vista or 7 to run properly and enjoy multiplayer. Forget what people say about it on Xp, it plays much better on Vista on 7....if you have an up to date machine...but thats another whiney ass tale for another day. The game costs you a measly $10 to $15 bucks....we aint exactly breaking the bank or the allowance funds here. It's agreat port with lots of map making potential. trust me, I'm a co-leader for the H2MT on Monstrmoose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AD-Ewok Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks for the input TwinReaper. Would you agree on his comment on how active it is though? I am on Windows 7 so no issues there. I know it's cheap but I pay for my school out of pocket and have little to spare. Any games I get usually come from selling off rpg's I've beaten @s3c Halo CE and Halo 2 are on PC. I can't speak for Halo 2 (obviously) but Halo CE for PC is great fun and worth a buy though it's far past its prime now. It was 20$ when I got it in 07 so I would expect it to be cheaper than that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anarchy Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Does it work for MaC??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I love how people complain yet they also complain about wanting halo 2 online back, they have a chance of getting halo 2 online, and they don't take it, all they need is Vista / 7 and $15...not too much to ask for.

Twinreaper Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Halo 2 for the pc is far more active them people state. You can always find at least a minimum of 20-30 servers and at most about 5-10 good servers always full at all times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AD-Ewok Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Thank you. That's all I need to know. Looks like I'm getting hitched up with Halo 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Popa Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I still play Halo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I XzCLuSiV3 I Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I was never into PC gaming but I am working on a computer build just for halo 2 PC. If they shut down the servers in June I will be pretty mad, might have to drive to Washington state from PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
