Went to try Halo 2 on PC yesterday and The game itself it borked somehow..
The game is installed, but clicking play does nothing. Then if I go on the gamepass store page, the option to install is there. (Clicking it does nothing). So I thought I'd try uninstalling as I know its installed. Clicking uninstall from my library does nothing :/
So I'm stuck with how to get rid of it to reinstall properly, it thinks it's both installed and not installed somehow

It's now working for me after a full re-install, the windows store is literally the most temperamental thing I've used in recent years, nothing but issues with the Forza & Gears games and now this.
I'm excited to play through Halo 2 again as I enjoyed a run through the original (full of tweaks & fixes) a year or two ago. I couldn't stomach Halo 1 again though, I got to the third mission and really wasn't enjoying how it felt, the sequels were a big improvement when going back. Then the thought of doing the Library mission again hit me and I just did an Alt+F4 never to return
Have you tried removing it through control panel? I've had many issues whereby this was the only solution.

Is you have it on Steam, right click and select what you want to install under the 'DLC' tab. For example i've installed halo 1 & 2 but didn't install the optional language packs.
Hope that helps.

Trying to play Halo 2, but the game isn't letting me change my keyboard settings. I make the changes and it keep telling me there is a unassigned key or something. There isnt. Cant play it.
Try switching to the Halo Reach controls and see if there is a keybind missing there. https://www.reddit.com/r/halo/comme..._be_a_bug_i_cant_change_controls_for/fjp8zoa/

Good call mate, i didn't check the other games. Even if i click reset to default it still says the same so must be a bug.
Got a surprise email inviting me to test Halo 3 on Steam today. May as well give it a go and see what that one's like.

Any impressions? I've read the EU side is lacking in players a bit. But i'm looking forward to its release, so i know many others will be too, and then player count shouldn't be much of issue then.
I've only just started playing Halo again, after having it on console for years. Anyone interested in playing? I've so far just been messing about with heavies, fiesta and action sack. I wish the competitive playlists had more players, but still, purposely flying pelicans into opposing bases on suicide missions is mega fun. k/d ratio be dammed. I think mine must be broken, says 15000 to 2000. Seems a little unrealistic to me, even when i could aim xD
Sorry, I haven't even touched the multiplayer. I've been doing the campaign and it looks and plays just fine.

That's a good sign it works well at least 
Sometimes i forget how much i enjoy/ed merely just being engrossed with the world/ campaign.

Halo 3 is coming on 14th July (but could be early morning 15th with the time differences)

Nice, the mp had been on flight testing for a while.

It dropped sometime around 6 this morning I believe. Having missed the boat on most of the MP on Halo's glory days (parents didn't understand / couldn't afford XBL). I'm pretty much enjoying having my ass handed to me

39000 ingame right now massive success on PC this guarantees all the new Halos will come as well once MCC is done
Doesn't every new release go like this though? Big spike to then drop again.

Yeah sadly true. Mostly because 343 mess something up, or release something unfinished.
H3 is playing alright. Some sound clipping though. And theatre is unfinished

I wanted to re-play the campaigns as they released, but have got a bit behind schedule. I completed Halo Reach a while back, and Halo CE yesterday. They are still as fun as I remember, and the originals still hold up well.
The remastered versions seem to mess with some things, for example, in Truth and Reconciliation in Halo CE, Cortana calls it a 'desert plateau'. It is a desert in the original, but in the remastered there is greenery everywhere. The dark and dingy feel due to the lighting of the original also gets changed.
