hey mate. havnt played halo 2 myself, bear in mind that without some new hack that has apparently come out, you need Windows Vista to play it. its dx10 only. wont run on Windows XP.

r6:vegas is pretty awesome in terms of teamplay FPS. you got a lot of control over your squad. and you can play the entire story in co-op multiplayer. it is very demanding on hardware tho, plus its a port from the Xbox 360 Version, meaning they just made a conversion and configured it for PC, so i dont rekon it runs as smooth as it should.some areas look amazing and run great, then you'll hit spots that appear less detailed but lag like a **tch. good game tho in my opinion.

multiplayer in halo2 is prolly a lot better, but like i said havnt played it. base ur decision on re-playability and whether its just for Single Player or Multi Player.

I have Halo 2 on PC and without even playing R6 I'm gonna have to say it would be better. Halo 2 can be kind of fun online, but not many people play and I just can't help but feel like I'm playing "old news". Oh and you don't need Vista for R6 like you DO for Halo 2.

i played both games on the xbox, i would say R6 is a much better choice, for halo 2 is out dated now and the story is ok not as good as the halo 1. R6 has great graphics, single player, and a fantastic multiplayer. But i do like halo 2 as well, i was one of the people who stood in line to get it at 12:00at night. never do that again..

Well Halo 2 didn't get that bad of a rating, problem is it's overpriced. Get R6 Vegas then get halo 2 if you can't live without it when it drops in a year or two.

I have played both, and although they are both FPS they are very different.

Halo2 is brilliant, but by todays standards looks pretty dated. Looks aside the game itself is excellant.

R6 is just like the usual SWAT thing, looks better than H2, but nuthin special.

i have to say if you compare the R6 gameplay to SWATs' - R6 is more action-tactical FPS and SWAT is basically tactical only

i would choose between those 2 - R6 of course for it's more fun

Rainbow Six Vegas! Excellent game, and purty :D

Couple of things to keep in mind: I haven't played RB6 online, but even with it's faults, Halo 2 will have a decent online community, if that's important to you.

However, if you are looking for a co-op game. Rainbow Six Vegas has a VERY fun one!!!! Microsoft didn't even bother to keep the co-op mode in the PC version of Halo 2 :evil:

I didn't mean the game SWAT, my bad, I meant it has a 'Swat theme' thing going on, you know, like all the other Rainbows where you are in charge of a team and you have to rescue hostages etc.

never played R6Vegas, looks pretty good. though i got Halo 2.

Halo 2 isn't so bad though, i got vista with a 22" monitor so its probably better for me to play some more slow paced games.

even as a big halo 2 fan, id say get R6 vegas, since halo 2 has been pretty crippled(vista only, high req's, etc etc... almost like ms wants it to fail) so its multiplayer is limited, and R6 is pretty damn sweet on realistic mode. halo 2 will be worth getting in a few months maybe, if it goes down in price a bit (tho its not normal full price anyway), hopefully by then there'll be a few more players.

Halo 2 multi-player is a lot more fun.

Edit. Why would someone resurrect this month old thread? lol

these two games are completly different, so it's hard to compare. rainbow six is tactical, moder day shooter. halo 2 is fast pased futuristic shooter. they are both really good however.

R6 is too much better because halo 2 is boring and bad story
