While still alive thanks to the likes of Project Cartographer. H2V (the PC port of Halo 2 for the Xbox) was plagued with tons of issues. from the forced integration of GFWL (something Cartographer rips out) to gimped map authoring tools. Halo 2 on PC got a bad run compared to the original Xbox version that is still considered a fan favorite.
Since a lot of people can't be arsed to pirate H2V and MCC is practically dead and dysfunctional. If H2 was added to Gog there would be a surge in players to H2V and likewise, Project Cartographer
My first contact with Halo was through Reach, that was amazing and I always wanted to play the main saga. I had Halo CE Anniversary in X360, but I've never had the full experience of continuing that saga. I want to play it for the first time!!!!!!
Halo 2 in my opinion, due to not having easily accessible ways of patching it and getting it to run on modern hardware/operating systems and being chained still to the old windows vista live DRM etc, really needs a respectful touch up to it's functionality and to have it's original designs from both original Xbox and the PC versions in a preserved state.
Like the first Halo, this one has a captivating pull to it once you pick up the controller (Or Keyboard and Mouse) and get past that sombre main menu, watching the reflective story telling of Master Chief and the new character The Arbiter unfold as you have access to duel wielding now and more attention to side characters in the campaign with stand outs like Miranda Keyes, Rtas 'Vadum (Half-jaw), Sergeant Johnson and Guilty Spark.
The game also stands out historically as having one of the hardest difficulty mode challenges with the infamous "Jackel Sniper" Filtering where you have to start memorizing each spawn point of a covenant sniper like it's a game design pattern from old arcades.
The rock music also is a very welcome addition and very ironically mid-early 2000s.
<3 :D
Halo is my childhood, and i hope that it comes back in 2025! its crazy, that so many years went by, and we are all still stuck on HALO! we know, when we bring it back, we will have to get the hype going like its 2005 !
Thank you GOG for this great opportunity to have the games back on a better place!
