Halo 2 for Vista = 7.0

 Halo 2 for Vista is a solid game that probably won't appeal to anyone who's played any recent high-profile PC shooters.

Not exactly surprising.

"Thats pretty good for a 3 year old port. "

Mega damage control :lol:

But seriously....7.0 Holy mother of god lol!

Not exactly surprising.

"The multiplayer side is fun, too, but all of it feels overshadowed. The PC has more than its fair share of amazing shooters that blow Halo 2 away in every possible way, making this one best suited for Halo fans that want an easy way to play custom maps. However, even those fans are just as likely to be put off by the imbalance between the game's two controller options, making it a bit of a no-win situation, despite its high production quality."

You act like Hermits care about this game. 

I'm not suprised either, besides it is a three year old game. zerooslo7990

Where as games like Starcraft are still going strong after 10 years, and others have endured such as UT2k4, WoW, Half-Life 2, etc.

I don't know who's owned here though, Hermits or Lemmings. I'd say Lemmings.

We don't and in the review it stated Halo 2 was nothing compared to a PC FPS...lol  In every possible way.:lol:

The Bad: Gamepad users get potentially unfair advantage in multiplayer with auto-aim; graphics are unimpressive by today's standards; poor single-player storyline with unsatisfying cliff-hanger ending; arbitrary differences between silver and gold users.

Gamespot

That's very true.

Thus strengthening the reasoning behind Halo should stay on consoles. PC has a much, much higher standards for FPS'. That is the reason why F.E.A.R. was such an inferior port, because it was designed on PC, and it dealt with the KB/M combo, making the devs able to utilize multiple buttons for the round-house kick, the slide tackle and etcetera. The regular gamepad combo works better for a more simplified games such as Halo. You only really need to shoot, jump and throw gernades. Thus the port to PC would be deemed inferior as opposed to other FPS'. It goes both ways though, a console to PC port of FPS'/a PC to console port of FPS' will most likely fail.Bluestorm-Kalas

Enough for Gamespot themselves to say that PC FPS are better in every single way.

I play BF games, and i really dont see it as being miles ahead of Halo, the only difference is Keyboard and mouse.

And it's true...

I wasn't exactly surprised by this.  But heck, I'm gonna buy it anyway, if I ever get Vista.  I've never played Halo 2, and I suck at using gamepads in FPSs.  I wanna check out the multiplayer to see if it's all it's cracked up to be.

Halo 3 is just more or less Halo 2 with minor improvements. I wonder what it'll score? :cry: :?BioShockOwnz

No, the gameplay was intact, it's just that the optimization was AWFUL.

We still have the atvantage of higher rez, aa,af and FPS.

Also, we can tweak the controls out for the mouse and keyboard, in ways which are not possible on consoles (polling rate...etc).

Not better in every way.  The PC port was so badly optimized that it couldn't run particularly well on the (at the time) latest hardware.  Nowadays, however, it runs well, leaving PC gamers with the best version of Halo.

Bungie Studios did not make this game plus it's a three year old port - so, this score isn't exacting surprising.
