There is technically no Halo 2 for PC. Seriously, why are you being so stupid over small things?

its not out yet it says in "message of the day" in the internet lobby of halopc but im guessing it'll show t only if you have an original when it comes out im guessing the game will update itself but if it doesnt i will be posting a link all it says it that there will be a patch coming soon nothing more if one of you guys tells me how to print screen then i'll show you. its not a lie for those that dont believe im not saying that anyone doesnt believe me but before someone says it.

i doubt it an internet connection is an internet connection and will always be the same anyway

Ever heard of the word 'netcode'?

Anyways, it's just a security fix:

Hi everyone,

We are readying the release of a 1.07 patch for Halo PC to address a networking vulnerability which could allow a malicious user to cause the game to hang on the server. There are no reports of this exploit being used "in the wild".

The new game client will be backwards-compatible with the 1.06 server, so you will still have a full list of servers to play on while people update their dedicated servers. The old client, however, will not work with the *new* server.

1.07 will be released as an auto-update. 1.06 will be able to auto-patch, but anyone still on 1.05 will still need to follow the instructions in this thread.

And just a side note, in response to concerns posted here that 1.06 caused new latency or network problems: The recent patch builds have addressed small bugs in the handling of bad (hacked) packets, and make no difference in everyday operation. It is my firm belief that the occasional reports of latency introduced by the patch are just coincidental, due to the fact that a certain percentage of any group of gamers will have a laggy connection at a given time, and for the people whose connections are laggy on or around a patch day, there could seem to be a correlation. I'm confident it's just coincidence, and encourage everyone to keep current with patches.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. This patch does not help or hurt latency, nor have the several previous patches. It's just a security hotfix.

And to answer the other question I've been getting: I have provided Gearbox with source and binary for Halo CE 1.07, for them to review my fix, test as needed, and release. Gearbox is busy at E3 this week, and I expect that they will be looking at the fix early next week. If they let me know that they don't immediately have time to take a look, I will enlist a few volunteers to beta the CE fix. Halo CE *will* receive this patch to get up to date with hotfixes.

if your gonna quote my sentences and try to make me feel wrong of what i said qoute the whole sentence. "i doubt it an internet connection is an internet connection and will always be the same anyway prove me wrong patch." and so it did. and yes i read the whole thing and that patch does not in any way fix lag like some have rumored it as i today still have and even lost a connection for the first time everso i might just reinstall 1.06 if it keeps happening and no im not on a wireless connection so i shouldnt of had lost that connection

I was pointing out that internet connection isn't the only factor in lag, not trying to make you feel bad.

And I have someone I'd like you to meet:

(That wasn't to make you feel bad either, it just takes me forever to understand what you're trying to say.)
