Is it worth it to get Halo 2 for PC right now? Compatability/pop#?
Hello there, I have recently been interested in getting Halo 2 for PC, but I wanted to research it first before I make a dumb mistake. I have been playing Halo for most of its 10(almost 11) years now but mainly on the Xbox. I am looking at this version on Amazon::
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000NV8F58?qid=1344778771&sr=8-2&vs=1
But it has some very mixed reviews.. I have a 64 bit Windows7 desktop that I built myself::
i5 2500K
Nvidia EVGA GTX 560(non Ti)
8 GB Crucial RAM at 1600Mhz
(main needed specs)
So my question is mainly, is it still worth it to get Halo2 for PC?
I wouldn't be playing much multiplayer, but I want to link it with my Gamertag(gold mem) and have it play well and stay connected online.. I have seen some people lately saying that because of an update for GFWL, it doesn't easily accept the older games' validation codes anymore. Is this an actual problem and means that I shouldnt get H2 for PC(Im using Win 7) because it's hard to remedy this(or any other hiccups)??
Or do you think I should go ahead and get it? I do wish to play some Halo 2 again, online and campaign..
What do you think?

Hmm, upon deeper inspection, it may be something completely different. This is actually really interesting and I'm trying to figure out how they did this. Whoever made a proxy dll and did this is incredibly ingenious, still not sure how they managed to fake the game type ID. I haven't finished disecting the struct and probably won't seeing as I'm busy and it isn't relevant to much after I know what it is, but there are a few IDs microsoft uses when activating a game, and somehow they found the universal ID, which I'm going to assume was a help/support feature that is activated when you call in for a key and it gives you the code over the phone. Idk really how to describe it without just posting the pdb. Well, I guess I was wrong. This is really advanced -blam!- though, I'm surprised. Must have taken a lot of effort, sadly the game didn't get popularity. It's not a crack in the conventional sense, it's simply a flaw in Microsoft's activation process. They have a... backdoor?... for most likely product support.
