I love the Halo series and have been a big fan since the original came out on Xbox. However, after playing through the campaign I encountered performance issues and it really takes the fun out of the game. Now some people will probably think, "well your computer sucks too much and can't run the game that's why you have performance issues." I assure you my pc doesn't suck and was in fact built for gaming. A computer that can run games like GTA IV and Crysis at very high settings should be able to run this older game with outdated graphics, but as it turns out lots of people are having issues. It seems more powerful computers run this game at high frames and that causes mouse lag/stuttering. As of right now I haven't found a fix for it. Some people claim that enabling vsync in the nvidia or ati control panel will fix it, but I can't confirm. Halo 2 is without a doubt amazing, but definitely meant for consoles.

A great game but the campaign gets a little redundant after awile. Split screen and multi-player are more fun than other games due to weapons and the design of the maps.

It was hard downloading... And once it did, i got some windows live problem. I've looked it up online, and the problem requires me to reinstall the game all over again. I'll do that soon, but I bet this is a good game.
