Yeah i have no idea what is taking them so long to implement it on PC.

[MCC] Halo 2 Anniversary out now on PC
- Thread starter disgraciau
- Start date
You would probably betray your team mate on the other side of the map the moment you were airborne.
Update the Lighting Service and done... That was my problem some months ago because the EAC cross the process as harmful. I encounter with the same problem on the Asus forums and their solution was update Aura to the lastest version. Updated and since then MCC works like a charm with Lightingservice.exe running along...
Seems like super bouncing is way more difficult to execute on MCC/Vista... Tried yesterday to superbounce on Ascension in the old Xbox spots and it was in vain... :(...
I've already lost interest with H2A MP. I can't find any matches if it's not default 4v4 slayer.
I tried to find FFA match for 30 mins without any luck, soon as I switch back to 4v4, it finds match almost instantly. Playerbase is fucking dead or the matchmaking is broken.

IIRC superbouncing is one of the bugs specifically tied to resolution and a couple other factors, so while it wasn't fixed, the very nature of conditions not being identical to OG Xbox means it doesn't work the same.
Hitches on loading into a new area, hitches when switching between new and old graphics, spotty performance in places, borked audio levels on H2 Classic... not impressed.
Having H2A installed, having that reflected on the in-game install menu, and the Win10 installation menu, and also letting it choose that campaign, only to be told "it's not installed" is annoying. Is that a known issue, or just a result of their goofy placeholder "pre-load" telling all those interfaces that the actual game is installed?
I had that on first launch after the update finsihed. Simply restarted the game and it cleared up though.
It's been hovering around 30k players for the last couple of days apparently, so something's definitely up with the matchmaking. My current "playlist" setting is 4v4, H2A, objective and action sack modes only (so no Slayer, Swat or Snipers) and most of the time I find a game within a minute.
Still wish we'd just gotten regular playlists, though. I hate this system.
144fps doesn't feel that great somehow in this game. Is it my imagination or does someone else feel the same? Feels like 60.
The rocket launcher flood always get you, you see them, you see the rocket coming.....nooooo.
Welcome to windows store. It'll just work out the blue eventually
An update was installed for the gaming services and afterwards boom, nothing works anymore. Yesterday I was so happy that Halo 2 finally worked and now this -_- fml
That's because the animations are capped at 60fps. The whole uncapped framerate just doesn't work like it's supposed to. This vid shows it pretty well.
Only way to consistently play it on a 144hz is to cap it at 60fps which for me is also not smooth at all.
EDIT: This digital foundry vid also explains it really well. It's Reach but the same applies for the H2:A since it's the same engine: https://youtu.be/c5kCLcu8hdk?t=1258
It's really dumb and a spoiler like all the pre-level loading splash screens.
Ye, the MP is borked.
343 are giving daily updates on what they're doing to resolve it:

Being a big Halo fan i purchased the entire collection December 3rd, should have waited..too many bugs..
The bugs are the only reason I haven't bought it yet. I really want to revisit these games but not subpar version of them.
Given how 343 just dropped the Xbox One version and left it broken for years, I'm not risking buying the PC version until they've sorted out the problems.
I've got a problem I hope someone can help with. After installing Halo 2 PC I was unable to start the game. I would select Play and nothing would happen. I ended up uninstalling Halo so I could reinstall it, hoping that would fix the problem. When I uninstalled it the icon didn't disappear from the gamepass game menu, but it gives me an option to install, so I figured its probably uninstalled. Now when I click install it asks me to verify the install location, and I click Install and then nothing. It continues to show the Install button, but clicking it only takes me through the same thing with the install location and then nothing.
Any ideas? I can't play any Halo games right now.
edit: ok, I finally figured it out. I had to reset the windows store cache so I could completely uninstall Halo. It now lets me download the game

I thought the new opening and outro actually made H2 feel more like a full narrative, as opposed to a lead-in to H3. The intro definitely sets the tone well for the parallel events between Chief and Arbiter.
"343 only had to paste bungie's code"
yup, that is how it works.

Man Halo 2 Classic feels just as good as I remember. Played a couple matches of H2C Team Hardcore. Dropped a few 40 bombs. Felt absolutely amazing to play again especially on PC. Refuse to play H2A. Plays nothing like H2 Classic. In fact, it plays more like Reach which I hated in regards to its MP.
They should fix the bug and turn it into a Grab bag game mode.
Lol. No armor abilities, no load outs, movement feels different (forward/lateral/jump), and no bloom.
I just don't see similarities to Halo Reach :/.
It's a bit of a shame it took them so long to get H2A out on PC (and the whole MCC as a whole). I feel by the time the whole thing is out, multiplayer interest is going to be next to non-existent, especially with infinite around the corner.
Just the general gun feel. It feels completely off compared to classic H2 and feels more like Reach, particularly sniping. That's just my opinion though and now I'll leave because I feel like I'm about to get a bunch of passive aggressive replies because I said that.
I hope so.
People were hyping Halo 2 and H2A as some "resurgence" for MCC on PC, and that hasn't happened yet. Hopefully H3 sees some players coming back.
I'll go to bat for you a little bit. My first impression of H2 Anniversary was that it feels much closer to 3 and subsequent Bungie Halos than it does Halo 1. I'm not THAT intimately familiar with the series to say what it is, exactly, but the gameplay feels very modern in comparison to what playing Halo 1 felt like just a month ago.
