Hi I just got halo 2 for vista. Good game However I have a few questions about online play:

1, Somtimmes when im fighting someone I freeze and cant move and get killed. The other person does somthing to me so they can kill me easy. What is it and how do I stop it.

2, Some players I can put 2 whole clips into them and they don't die and yet I can take 3 shots and die. Why is this?

Thanks

It's your internet connection. Either your lagging or the server is. What ISP do you have?

Your forgetting that halo 2 is VISTA ONLY. Vista is such a resource hog that it decreases the games performance. I'm above all the requirements for the game and halo 2 still runs like crap, even on low detail.

And yet, I'm below the recommended requirements, and it runs fine on highest settings (around 30 fps)

Second that.

And Greenfuzz how exactly do you set the low detail? My version of H2V only allows for Anti aliasing, and Resolution changes, which don't change the details at all...

I'm not flaming, so don't take it like so :)

Ok. One, were discussing H2V, not HCE. Two, HCE's requirements aren't that high at all, so of course your going to get good performance on Vista. Three, your computer freezes every 2 weeks, maybe Vistas fault :p.

My specs aren't anywhere close to run Halo 2 lag free, if it wasn't for Vista, I'd be getting a better framerate.

Specs

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium

Processer: AMD Anthon x64 dual core 2.8 Ghz

GPU: Nvidia Geforce 6150 SE nforce 430 256 mb

RAM:1.75-2 gigs
