Subject: Halo 2 Vista FAQ

Since Halo 2 Vista is getting closer and closer, and certain things have changed since we last updated the Vista FAQ, we thought we'd give PC players some more details on what to expect from the forthcoming Vista conversion. New info inside!

I like to play 1vs1 so if you want to play, send a friend request to Uber Phish, saying something about 1vs1.

isnt there supposed to be humpday today. H2V, sounds good, but I dont know how many people are actually gonna buy Vista for halo 2. I dont think vista is gonna be a big hit right away. Just my opinion.

Sorry, dude, but this topic is way over-done, just like the noobs that I fry with the flamethrower.

I'm sure any real PC player will never buy this game if auto-aim is included. I dn't mind having the controller supported, but the controller shouldn't change this from a PC game to a console game that allows you to use a keyboard.

2008 Tundra 5.7L V8 in Slate on Hand made TRD forged 22" wheels, try not to be crushed.

Can't wait to be able to afford it! Spent to much last year on PC components to get it right away this year.

I have a question.

When using the Xbox 360 controller, will the menu button be functional? Can it be set up to bring up your friends list?

  • 11.09.2006 3:27 PM PST

Im sure it will be a good game for the plaform. Im really looking foward to looking at some halo 3 screen shots though.

You answered most of my questions. What you didn't, you "don't want to discuss." Thank you for taking the time to do that.

EDIT: Eleventh post!

Love the games.

Hate the exclusivity.

Awesome read.

I suppose technically I could've read that myself at any time and not sat around waiting for someone to point me to it. But, regardless, I'm very glad I was pointed. That was really very informative.

  • 11.09.2006 3:34 PM PST

It's not what weapons you use - it's about how you achieve success with them.


b4ykO: Think about it, you're getting owned by maulers and assault rifles. Maybe you should do the same.

No custom SP.

gg, prepare to be hacked, H2EK.

So, when you say that there won't be custom SP maps, do you really meen that? Because HEK for Halo 1 was made JUST FOR MP too, but modders found a way to make MP, SP, and even UI maps! I hope you don't limit our modding skills just to make it more user friendly to 10 year old noobs.... (BTW I have to fricken clue if this is where i'm supposed to post this, I never post in these forums)

sweet looks like fun

  • 11.09.2006 3:45 PM PST

looks cool, unfortunatly i wont be getting a vista anytime soon so i wont be able to play it too bad =(

  • 11.09.2006 3:45 PM PST

I do wonder how this will turn out with Vista being such a new platform and all. I feel it may take a while for sales of the game to kick in until most folks have upgraded to the new OS, which could take some time for the not so affluent. Also, the hype and news about Halo 3 could be a deterrent.

  • 11.09.2006 3:50 PM PST

Let there be CHAOS!

No online co-op. No clan support. No SP mapping (though we will figure it out)? No etc. Why so many no's Bungie?

As long as I can create/mod multiplayer maps, I'm happy, but I'm still very dissappointed about all this "no" nonsense.

Sorry to say this guys, but for once I'm not really impressed. I'm not the only one who's a bit disgruntled at this, quite obviously, so I won't salt the wounds too much. So I'll leave it with this:

I'm kind of disappointed, granted you can't please everyone all the time and Halo 3 is probably the priority at Bungie, to do things not done in Halo 2 and the kind, but I don't think I'm going to be shilling out the money for both Vista or Halo 2 Vista any time soon.

Frankie and I have concluded that the best weapon in the Halo universe is in fact a halo.

Halo 1=Halo 2

At least, on a positive note, the mapping community will have something new to play around with, and I just got GoO in the mail.

Disappointment lamented and forgiven.

Download Halo Custom Edition for user created maps!

The few, the proud, the leet.

Will it be possible for players to create their own campaign or co-op levels for Halo 2?

No, the user-created content tools are exclusively for multiplayer maps and game types.


That's absolute crap! I know of three single player campaigns that are allready in developement for use in H2V. Prometheus is going to allow this, so why not leave the option in?

And what about custom user interfaces?

  • 11.09.2006 4:22 PM PST

Ahh, It's gonna cost a bunch fora new computer and vista.
