Get Halo 2 for Your PC

Everyone loves Defeat a Halo 2 Jackal Sniper on Legendary, but how about getting it for the PC? You can get a close mod for multiplayer. It's legal, as long as you have Halo PC. Update: HALO 2 IS NOW ON pc! It's vista only, but still, it is awesome, and provided you have a good computer, it runs perfectly, and it has free online play!

Steps

Vista

  1. Buy the new Halo 2 where computer games are sold.

Alternative

  1. Download utorrent.
  2. Download winzip or winrar (both have free trials).
  3. Download Peer Guardian 2 (to not get arrested).
  4. Go to[1] and find the Halo 2 torrent.
  5. Once you saved the file, download it on utorrent.
  6. After the download is done (which should take about 2 or more hours to complete) open the file in winzip or winrar (might say rar or zip file) and extract the file.
  7. Save it and do whatever else you have to do with it.
  8. Start it up and have fun!

Windows XP and earlier

  1. Recognize that the "real" Halo 2 is only available on Windows Vista. It is possible to obtain a modified version that does sort of work on Windows XP. Here is how you can do it.
  2. Get a custom Halo Custom Edition. Halo Custom Edition, or Halo CE, is a multiplayer-only version of Halo PC, with improved multiplayer and the ability to load custom-made maps. See the External Links for sites.
  3. Open the installer, and install it. You need a valid Halo PC CD key. Now you can play Halo Custom Edition online, but there are no Halo 2 maps.
  4. Download Halo 2 maps (see External Links) and put the .MAP in your Halo CE maps directory. The default is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\maps, so look there first.
  5. Boot up Halo Custom Edition, and play on a Halo 2 map.

Tips

  • Halo 2 Vista can be played on Windows XP, but requires a patch and Single-Player is the only feature that works, for now.
  • The Windows Vista version is far superior to the modified version.

Things You'll Need

  • An adult accompanied with you if you are under 17 and your buying it at a store. Halo 2 is rated M which is not the video game rating equivalent to R.
  • Some form of ID if you are 17 and older if you're buying it at a store. You do not have to have a learner's permit or a driver's license to have an ID. The DMV can issue non-driver cards. A passport can also work.
  • Money to buy it.

Warnings

  • It's easy to be disappointed by the Windows XP version; it's rather glitchy, and there's often lag.
  • Halo 2 is rated M. If your parents do not let you play it, do not push their limits.
