So I;m thinking about getting halo 2 for PC because the I heard the xbox servers are going down on april 15. So I was wondering, do many people play this online?

Last time I checked there were a couple full servers at peak hours, it will probably get better when people like you are forced to play on PC...

I actually never played Halo 2 on xbox (Or PC) so that's why I'm wondering how good the online is.

Grab the first Halo, sure it looks worse but you get quality. The sequel is good no doubt but it has a lackluster modding community and not nearly as many people as the first along with a bad weapon balance.

I currently am playing the first halo (and loving it.) But what do you mean by modding? Like user created maps and stuff or...

If you do decide to pick up the PC version, make sure you're using windows vista or higher.

Halo 2 won't run on XP without doing something illegal. It's only programmed to run on Vista (or higher??).

If you have a 360 just get Halo 3 or ODST. I'm not much of a console gamer, but Halo 3/ODST on XBL > Halo 2 on PC. My opinion of course. If you're just looking for Halo 2 on PC don't even bother. Get a better game.

Note: I'm actually not a big fan of Halo or console games at all, but they are much better on 360.

why would it be illegal? If you buy the game you can do what you want with it.

halo ce is still the best in the series, nothing much was added to any new halo game but ce had the best maps and the best single player.

You would think, wouldn't you?
