With Halo being a big hit on the Xbox and Xbox 360 it was also a big hit for the PC. With the creators of Halo PC they made another version called Halo: CE. This version allowed custom maps to be put onto servers and played.

For years this was one of the best computer games out. When people heard of Halo 2 for PC coming out it was a huge talk among the gamers of Halo 1. They were all looking forward to play with the new maps, new features, and new graphics. However only releasing it to Vista owners this sure gave Halo 2 PC a big hit.

Most gamers do not have Vista because of the problems it has been having. All the gamers that loved Halo PC couldn’t play Halo 2. This made some people buy Vista just for Halo 2 PC but most did not. The gamers of Halo PC switched to other games and got addicted to them. This means you have to either pay 50 dollars for a gold account or get a silver account for free but does not let you access all the cool new features.

Also to play Halo 2 PC they made it so you have to have a Xbox Live or Windows Live account. This means you have to either pay 50 dollars for a gold account or get a silver account for free but does not let you access all the cool new features. They stuck with other games and got addicted to them.

This hurt the Halo PC series lovers. Now online Halo 2 PC has usually around 50-100 gamers online at one time. For a PC game that is a low number of players. For a game that had so much talk about it, it let down many gamers.
