its actually legal to get halo 2 PC for free.

Legal =/= Free

So, why I should pay for it in GameStop?

Legal glitch is legal, you still need a key.

Plus there is a community that bought 500 codes for Halo 2 vista so you can always get one of their codes b/c they aim to repopulate Halo 2 Vista.

IDK if you guys know but any GFWL key works with any game...

So its illegal to use a GTA IV key for Halo 2???

Answer: NOPE

Whaat?
???

But this Halo 2 Vista thing wasn't what i was referring to really.
...
And now that i'm re-reading the post, nevermind. Misread. Nothing wrong was done.
Sorry. Apologies.
EDIT no wait, is it possible to legally get Halo 2 map anymore, not counting obtaining the Map Pack disc? Because downloading those from internet sure as hell can't be legal, is it?

 

[Xx Overkill VR]

You could also use a Westwood key from Tiberian Sun on Nox or Red Alert 2. Still meant you were pirating the game if you didn't pay for it.

The key is what you pay for.......

Hence DRM...

I can let you install the game with my disk but you can't play unless you buy a key.

>_>

Last time I checked they cost a total of FREE... you know after they were out for 2 months... then MS realized, "Hey we can charge them for DLC that is 5 years old and still make money instead of making it free and sustaining the online population of the game!"

Why? Because I buy stuff with the money I earn from working my ass off? Ok. You win bro.

At Christmas I'm going to yell at people about working hard and earning shit.

Regardless, neoGAF: 80,000 trendy video game hipsters and they all hate apple.

Oh sweet irony.

Also getting 'top of the line' Macs. Does that even exist? For free definitely doesn't sound legit.

Buyers remorse so bad you have to make excuses that you got it for free in your head. Worst feel ever I bet.

None of you people can read sarcasm

Someone who thinks you can read sarcasm in text? How long have you been using the internet?

Some people actually can. I don't know how they do it... must be magic. Me, my sarcasmdar is broken. EDIT no sarcasm here, seriously.

That "seriously" is a mistake, isn't it?

Nope. Can't install at all without a key. Feel free to put it in the drive though.
And yes, that bothered me the most of your statements.

I honestly want to. Not a fan of it.

Will make a gif when/if I do. Have a feeling I'll be Craigslisting this bitch soon.

Third wheel.

Wait, so Windows and Mac are dating? Time to turn this bitch into a polyamory. Linux can even join, I don't judge.

Fuck me. I forgot that Halo 2 map packs were made free. I knew that yet i forgot.
Of course it is legal to download them then...
Gah!
Now i feel bad at being suspicious.

*sigh*

All of my intent wasn't toward H2Vista, but the broadness of your analogy. Nice to know Halo 2 Vista works like that.

If we can get that HaloGaf logo on shirts in the store I would buy one ASAP for PAX. Be awesome.

And wow I still don't like the BR sound, but it is better than the sound of Halo 3

 

[Woorloog]

Those were some good days.

Wouldn't know. I didn't have Live back then.
Well, actually, i kinda do.
Played Halo 2 with my brother and a friend. 3 player FFA. Bough the map pack disc because i loved playing it, even with just 3 players.
Invented all sorts of odd gametypes because Slayer started getting old. Racing. Hide'n'seek.
I hate how Live has destroyed my ability to enjoy something as simple as local 3 player splitscreen Slayer. Well, i guess that i'm so much better at Halo now than my brother or friend affect this (they don't stand a chance against me). But Live also destroyed any desire to play Halo like that.
*Sigh*
Gotta say i preferred playing Halo 2 like that to playing it in Live. Once i got 360, i accidentally activated Live Gold and thus played Halo 2 in Live. It wasn't the same really. And once Halo 3 came, i didn't bother with Halo 2 at all anymore.

The best sound by far is the fuel rod canon. OMG!


Imagine a giant bug zapper continuously zapping hundreds of goliath beetles flying past your head and then a very low end explosion that sounds like a meteor crashed into the geometry. That is what it like when an Elite shoots one at you.

You literally brought up the debate. Literally.

Depends on your understanding of DRM.

Seems to me like NeoGAF isn't as tech savvy as I would have expected.

It would be so overpowered b/c then you wouldn't hear the insanely loud "game is ending music" and you would have a massive advantage as well as a sad face for the ,music guys b/c you would no longer be forced to hear their work.
