#Halo 2 pc mods series
Recently I was reading some gufff about the next Halo installment in passing & one of the user comments was that Halo 2 is hard to surpass as the best of the series which I found surprising, more surprising were other comments by quite a few people who agreed that Halo 2 was the best of the series thus far. I stopped playing the game but didnt uninstall it. OMFG the mouse even at speed 10 (Max) felt like I was trying to turn in a tub of concrete, keyboard was permenantly mapped and you couldnt edit it (not a big deal I guess if you like WASD standard settings) and general game performance was pretty lousy.
I installed it and sat down to play a little single player to tweak my settings and get a feel for the weapons.

I bought it a year or two back for about $10 in the clearance bin at JB Hifi alongside copies of Shadowrun (that other Vista only games for windows launch title) with the intent of seeing if the online community was any good for it. Eventually Halo2 also appeared on PC but only for Vista users.

Since then Halo 1 came to PC and was since upgraded to Halo CE or the Halo Custom Edition which is a lot of fun, the fact that the CE allows custom maps and mods (theres even a halo 2 weapon mod and the community is still active with new maps) has kept it alive far past where I though it would exist and the Vs gameplay with vehicles is actually a lot of fun. Being that I do not like the concept of paying my ISP and then paying for Xboxlive service I never took either game online. It was at this point in H2 on xbox that I stopped playing, recalling how horribly repetitive the areas in the later halo game had been.
**SPOILER AHEAD** Here the game took a turn for the worse, back in the master chiefs shoes you are transported to another halo like the first one. Then you got to play as the fallen Arbiter on the Covenant side which was also cool. Then halo 2 arrived and it started off very cool, it let you play as the MasterChief to begin with fighting the covenant on earth in some very memorable battles. Co-op was great fun 2 plyayer on xbox and if not for that I probably never would have completed the game on the console. Sure it had all the beauty we knew to expect from the early videos but the single player was just. What we got was fairly much that story but on rails and towards the third quarter of the game it was quite repetitive. It was an xbox exclusive, a game that had originally been planned for PC release and was going to be a large open world game where as the masterchief you roamed the Halo hooking up with ragtag bands of marines and took the fight to covenant while trying to uncover the secrets of the halo, no 2 playthroughs would play the same if you made different decisions and they even hinted at allowing "drop in" co-op in the early interviews. I must confess to being very dissapointed with Halo when I finally got it on Xbox all those years ago. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
