Halo 2 product key for playing live11/13/2022 The game that sold a few million Xboxes is still the best first-person shooter you can play from the comfort of your La-Z-Boy, and its even better with a few (or a dozen) like-minded wannabe-space-marine friends. Blame Halo for inspiring a new generation of glorified pest exterminators. I've always really liked the character models of the Halo menagerie, but even so, everything seems flat and lifeless compared to the efforts of every other shooter on the market.Īsk any kid what he (or she!) wants to be when he grows up and every last one of the little terrors gives the same answer: cybernetic space marine. Oh, and the menu systems pissed me off too - MS still seem convinced that everyone will be playing with one of their pads, and to get my mouse inverted (yes, I know), I had to traverse seven screens, which may not sound like much, but felt like I was ascending Kilimanjaro.Īs for the graphics, well, I can't deny they're far crisper and cleaner than the Xbox version (you can increase the resolution and everything), but that doesn't stop them looking dated. As for the persistent lack of co-op play on PC, well, that's just as unforgivable as it was last time around. The two new maps on offer (Uplift and District) are pretty intense - but, I'm sorry, if there are redeeming features in that one with the giant turbine that every bugger plays, then I've yet to find them. Multiplayer is what sealed the deal with the living-room format, and all the old arenas and downloadable content resurface here -ready, willing and able for you to strap yourself into MS's bulky LIVE system and an undeniably giggle-packed game, despite a marked variation in quality as you pass between the 23 maps. All getting in the way of action you can't help but feel affection for despite it all. The dull, obtuse and nonsensical storyline (the low point of which is a Flood hive mind ripped straight from Little Shop Of Horrors), the sudden ending, the cop-out that was the Earth invasion, the crap bits where you play as an alien Arbiter, the endless retread of gameplay already done to death in the original. But due to the 'OMG - online multiplayer on Xbox! This is the future!' effect of its original launch, people tend to forget its multitude of sins. The bare bones of Halo 2 are great - its shooty, hidey gameplay, amusing physics and some genuinely excellent set-pieces (notably jumping onboard the giant spider mech in an otherwise barren attack on Earth) still get the adrenalin pumping. That is, at least until the advent of DX10 and the whine of a million gamers opening their wallets and pouring coins into the cavernous maw of Bill Gates.īut whatever you think about Vista, and whether you consider MS a risen messiah or a ruthless hijacker of fun, I think that while we're still holding hands (and we are still holding hands), we can all agree that releasing the ancient Halo 2 as a flagship title for both Vista and Games for Windows LIVE is a f***ing stupid idea. A conversion too that now appears dull and ageing, and what's more can only be run on a Vista platform bereft of anything else worth playing apart from Geometry Wars. I want to play SPV3 now.Something you can say, though, is that there was no need to keep the PC community waiting three long years for a conversion. I don't want to wait for Halo: MCC to come to Steam. This Steam Community Chat does have a section for downloading the game so I may look into that. The problem might be me not downloading something or the fact that you may need to download Halo: Combat Evolved first and not just Halo: Custom Edition. I've been having problems with the program though but it came with a README Document which I haven't read thoroughly yet. It will then download Halo CE (Custom Edition, not Combat Evolved). Just type up the CD Key that "Watchmen" used very slowly so that you don't F it up like I did once. You let this download and then once the little Halo CE tab opens, you hit Install or whatever the top button is and it brings you to the CD Key page.
