Awesome rip. Hail dopeman.

battle_station (2007-07-01)

ty dopeman =)

PerfectSin (2007-07-01)

Hey guys, I forged a guide for installing Halo 2 on XP and used various comments on the web to try and create a troubleshooting section.
Visit the guide:
And tell me what you all think.

techmannie (2007-07-01)

^^Thankx again dopeman.^^

halo37253 (2007-07-01)

this works great, make sure your pc can run it first. Im using a Geforce fx5800 works fine, recomend to have a 6 series, from what i see a 6200 can run this game fine. Looks just like the xbox version, really nice when you have a 360 and can use your controller or just use the good old mouse.

zomgkittylazerz (2007-07-01)

Am I turning crazy? I could have swore I downloaded this yesterday, but it says it was submitted today?

Dupont60 (2007-07-01)

Thanks again Dopeman.
You're the best. Keep up the good work!
BTW; do you have any games with a more "adult" touch to it?
Would be awsome if you could find a nice version of Artificial Girl or something like that...
Take care and best regards!

halo37253 (2007-07-01)

what is the point to reinstall directX 9 if you already have it?

theRequester (2007-07-01)

hey dopeman, can i make a request? or is there a site or email i go to to request? since you crack everything :D

Dupont60 (2007-07-01)

Maybe a nice RIP of Lula 3D or Artificial girl or some other adult game?
You are the best!

beniz (2007-07-01)

Hey. I have Vista and how should I activate the game?

TeRmS (2007-07-01)

Can'r get it too work on vista, done what it says in the .nfo file, even tried the xp fix, but that totaly fucked it up, crashes when the halo 2 loading screen opens.

TeRmS (2007-07-01)

Everything is up to date when it comes to drivers.
But, when i started halo 2 i created a new online account, thats what we are suppose to do right?=)

TeRmS (2007-07-01)

I'll see what i can find

cc//Spike (2007-07-02)

i get an error saying tht the current steam server isnt running? Xp user

cc//Spike (2007-07-02)

oops it should be "the local steam server is not running"

cc//Spike (2007-07-02)

cc//Spike (2007-07-02)

Stainless_b2 (2007-07-02)

Oy!
Dopy... i don't know if it is just me but i have installed the "xp fix"/ "patch" and it works fine. but now i am working my way to the end of the game and it says i should insert my halo 2 cd.
?=! was the "patch" only for the first part of the game ?

Stainless_b2 (2007-07-02)

by the way you are the best : )

Swedensimon (2007-07-02)

dopeman plz can you do a rip version of just cause, its a very great game ! :)

WasteMyTime (2007-07-02)

Hey Dopy
The game works, but there is one problem.
In the middel of the game, it says "inset halo 2 cd". If you know what is wrong, tell me.
(PS. You're the best)

FlorreSnorre (2007-07-02)

Omg i was done with the first level and then i come to outrkist but it said: u need to activate the product key or somthing like that plz help

theRequester (2007-07-02)

hey, asked 1 time, might not have seen it tho, im tryin to get a game for friend so we can play online, but still have yet to find a multiplayer torrent for it, was wondering if you could crack titan quest to play online? would be greatly appreciated, besides, might be your great challenge :D (jk)

arxidia (2007-07-02)

Can anyone tell me what are the requirements to play this game?(processor etc.)

cc//Spike (2007-07-02)

WTF!? when i got steam running and when i click "XP PLAY HALO 2" half-life 2 starts? and when i dont got it running it says tht the local steamservice isnt running?!?!?!?!?!!?

Irishman909121 (2007-07-03)

At the top it says there are 129 seeders but uTorrent says there only 7. PLEASE SEED

Riggan (2007-07-03)

Holy crap this cant be halo 2 the graphics are crappy, like half-life 1! omg this game should be baned!!

gordonfreeman797 (2007-07-04)

dopeman great job on this for XP, thnx. However, (not ur fault) the game is a complete crock. Just my opinion - others - suck it & see. Thnx again to dopeman.

jollan71 (2007-07-04)

All that comes up for me when i click on play halo on xp is " initialization faild. either insufflicent system resources were found to run the game, or game data is missing or damaged. "
sry for my spelling :p

dafin0 (2007-07-05)

159 seeders right now but because there are 1027 leechers thats why we are getting such a slow speed, i would help by uploading more then 1kb/s but it would use up my 12gb limit to quick so sorry about that.

Xar0n (2007-07-05)

Cant sombody make a crack or something so we can play LAN on Halo 2, i remember how fun it was when we played LAN on Halo 1. PLZ come with an crack soon:)

kennethkkkk (2007-07-05)

Um.. why cant i get singleplayer to work? only online seems to work but i dont have a cdkey so.. help.. how do i play singleplayer?!

imandrewhoran (2007-07-05)

when i double click the "XP PLAY HALO 2" i get the black command prompt thing, then it dissapears, and nothing happens. what's wrong!? :/

benati (2007-07-05)

thx for the up, everything works fine.
I have a question in the menu what is the different between Live and Network because Live doesn-t work for me but the Network form me so waht is the different between them??

benati (2007-07-05)

Network works for me

nahoj5 (2007-07-06)

is this really halo 2!?
Really bad graphics

kingsofa (2007-07-06)

nahoj, remember its not like halo 2 is next gen or anything that is halo 3 =)
benati, I an very curious how you got network to work, can you create a game? and diff between network and live is that network is obviously not online.

warwinter (2007-07-06)

big ups to dopeman on this release, we all appreciate his efforts and his contributions, but this game friggin sucks, the mouse feels very buggy and non responsive even when you max the sensitivity out, and the graphics are horrible on pc, even with every option maxed it looks more like perfect dark for 64 than halo 2 for xbox ::slight exaggeration:: while playable, in comparison to the release for consoles tis pathetic. though it's nice to see ppl making workarounds for microsoft's stupid "vista only" crap. to hell with microsoft's marketing scheme.

jordanfitz9 (2007-07-06)

xxmattxx27 (2007-07-06)

In order to play online i think you would need ether a client to connect to xbox live for the pc(if possible) or your own server where you could host games.

blake2 (2007-07-06)

GAME WORKS GREAT U CAN CONTACT ME FOR HELP WITH THIS GAME OR ANY OTHER U DOWNLOAD AT THIS EMAIL: [email protected]

rowborough (2007-07-06)

this has to have the worst graphics of any game released in the last 3 years what a piece of shit !!!

Dont waste your harddrive youl only end up deleating...........

Some people, the games shit anywat so why inflict it on others....

kingsofa (2007-07-07)

jordanfitz9, download the latest directx duh.....

cliffne (2007-07-07)

Dopeman - any chance you could rip World Racing 2 for the PC please? I'm having probs with the protection on it.

dafin0 (2007-07-07)

"this has to have the worst graphics of any game released in the last 3 years what a piece of shit "
that because it was made 3 years ago and for a very on powerd system :P

BenMorte (2007-07-07)

This i a good rip but i've got a problem, after "return to sender" the game stops and a signs says: You need to activate this product to continue playing the game. Whats the problem...did i miss a crack?

Xar0n (2007-07-08)

when i try to play lvl 15 it says "insert your original halo 2 cd", i use the batch files i got and ive triyed all the other lvls and batch files. Why do i need the cd if your batch files should fix it? plz help med! anyone!:=)

dafin0 (2007-07-08)

ok i did somthing really dumb, i put the grafics to high but that ended up frezing my computer now everytime i try and get into the game it frezes. i just want to know how i can edit the settings with out being in the game it seam
by the way im on windows xp if that help u out

jebachjebacha (2007-07-08)

When im trying to start the game as desribed i get a warnin´from kaspersky that the apliccation is a riskware an invader.

barabusignasius (2007-07-09)

Im always amazed that these idiots are able to figure out to post comments...yet they dont read them. In terms of graphics all that really sucks is the facial animations. When you turn up the graphic options the graphics are quite beautiful. However you need a fast rig to play that way. And If you read a little...not too much or your heads might explode...youll find that you need to download the activation fix for this game. If you cannot figure out how to get it than you shouldnt be installing ripped games such as these to your machine. I gave you a hint on how to find it earlier in the post.....oh I forgot....you cant read.

novadragon17 (2007-07-09)

Do achievements work on XP? i havent seen this mentioned anywhere

markoramius (2007-07-10)

This is crap! The game works, but there's no sound whatsoever! Download another one!

hablestop (2007-07-10)

Some people are so ungrateful! Thank you dope-ster

Gwaaarrrrrrrggghhhh (2007-07-11)

i cant get it to stop asking for the original disk when i get to gravemind and ive tryed all the "fixes" i can find...anybody??

patrickt (2007-07-12)

THIS GAME WORKS!
NO VIRUS!
The only thing is that you can't get past level 3 without LIVE ENABLED Account.
So bad rip, give better desc.

SinBin_Squeakz (2007-07-12)

How bad are the graphs? On Xbox they were great, cant see why the are so bad on PC. Is it worth downloading?

Hannio (2007-07-12)

Why is the game asking for the CD when I get to the 12th map? Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone else finish the game?

goderian (2007-07-13)

well,, i did everything that said in the info.. but i didn't work.. i'm not surprised.

deoxx (2007-07-14)

omg! it's to XP! i love the halo games, and now i don't need to install vista to play it! thanks!!!!!

toco123 (2007-07-14)

hw do you patch the actual game to play on XP?

dunclap (2007-07-14)

Check out this site. Its for network Gaming,supports Halo 2

The Dark Slay3r (2007-07-15)

Does this work with my Gamertag? so can I get achievements?

blake2 (2007-07-15)

to continue playing past level 3 on halo 2 you must download the halo 2 dopeman workaround to play without activation

Levangos (2007-07-15)

How are you unraring this game?
Witch program are you using?

beedatopytia (2007-07-16)

I couldn't get past the first part where the guy tells me how to look and stuff - my computer keeps freezing up.
I'm running a legit Windows XP Pro SP 2. I have AM2 5600+, 2 GB Gskill Ram, Radeon 1950x Pro with 512 MB... I don't need an upgrade.
I downloaded Shadowrunner, and it runs fine, except for when it starts up, which is really slow. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm running Vista games in XP. I'll try it on Vista soon.

prince_lukus (2007-07-19)

when i try and open 'XLiveRedist1.0.6027' i get "this installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installation package"
Please help!

Blue_3 (2007-07-19)

Wow I'm Getting Like Bad Speed, But No Complain, When I Finally Get It, This Game Will Become Easy To Get ; ).

halo37253 (2007-07-20)

TyFuZ (2007-07-20)

Well I got the Game working but now when i try creating a game over Network nothing happens just a click sound. Anyone knows what the problem is?

noobsofwar (2007-07-21)

Lolnooblet (2007-07-21)

It didnt work with Directx 9.0 (June 2007) nor (April 2007), I open the XP PLAY HALO file and it opens and says 'Echo is off' and closes.
Would appreciate any help.

Lolnooblet (2007-07-21)

DOESNT WORK
DONT DOWNLOAD

Blue_3 (2007-07-21)

This Should Help To Pass Out The Game.
http://thepiratebay.se/tor/3748439

lalala1 (2007-07-22)

This does work, if you have the correct directx per instructions. In addition, if you are having problems with level 12 asking for the DVD, download and run microsofts Process Monitor while the level is loading. Somehow this causes the level to load correctly on most machines--perhaps due to the overhead lagging the DVD check until it times out.

And don't forget to download dopeman's other fix for the activation.

kevson36 (2007-07-23)

Works Great for me! good game.. have it to xbox and pc now rofl. thanks again Dope! =D

gtr2 (2007-07-23)

BitGod (2007-07-24)

This is a great up by dopeman!
Download this AND the activation fix and when you eventually get to level 12 Gravemind use the workaround as suggested by lalala1.
If your grafix are shit get a better card because mine are fine and you're the one with the problem.

aslanov (2007-07-25)

Great torrent dopeman, but i ran into a snag that im surprised no1 else has, or i havent found someone that has.

Shotgu_Ninja (2007-07-25)

Also if I start the file again it says that Halo 2 is already running on the computer. Yet nothing else is showing up about it.

sgt_solo (2007-07-25)

Shotgu_Ninja (2007-07-25)

the godfaza (2007-08-11)

This game runs on vista. The only problem is that I don't have the activation code to play the game. So I get to sign into Xbox Live over and over and it tells me the code is not valid.

the godfaza (2007-08-11)

Also I tried the activation fix and it just gives me "The procedure entry point MFGetAdaptersAddresses could not be located in the dynamic link library MFPlat.dll".

elementality (2007-08-11)

Someone help me fix my problem, on Vista the game closes whenever I try to install the update.

Slaxer (2007-08-11)

You guys keep asking the exact same questions all the time.
Instead of asking all the time, you can try to solve the problem yourself by looking if someone has already answered your question before.
I'm positive the most questions you people have asked, have already been answered.

SeEd please, only 20 kb/s

Antipodean (2007-08-12)

UNLESS U ARE OK WITH SPEEDS OF 10-25 kb/s, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT... (believe me, at those speeds a 2 & a half gig file takes a while).
leeching PRICKS are bloody KILLING torrents.
I'm uploading TWICE as fast as I'm downloading at the moment on this torrent and keeping a VERY good ratio. BUT AT THESE STUPID ARSE DOWNLOAD SPEEDS... its clear as crystal that you bastards are NOT doing the same in return, u selfish greedy fucks.
This is the last time I use a public tracker.

MGBx88 (2007-08-17)

I looked at all 8 pages, and see no error like mine, maybe someone can help me though.
I can start up the game, and go to campaign, after selecting the 1st level and any difficulty, the HALO 2 loading screen starts up..... and goes.... and goes.... and goes... it never loads.. what could be the problem?
when i bring up the task panel, it says it isnt responding :[
vista, 4.7 rating.

Seed?

cpktnwt (2007-08-18)

Can u plz seed!

stevenkain (2007-08-19)

ACHTUNG! This game works on VISTA, if you INSTALL DirectX 9 instead of the bundled, already installed DirectX 10. That's a HUGE step back and I don't recomend it. If you have XP it's a good download, otherwise.... try other HALO2 torrents.

mexenox (2007-08-19)

hello guys i cannot play halo because i've got the same problem as dogge92. What can i do to get d3dx9_31??
plz help!

jumio (2007-08-20)

The problem with this torrent is that even if you get a product key, you cant play online still. Since this rip took out the parts that allow you to play online you'll be stuck to playing campaign. I got a product key and i couldn't play live.

pygmyshrew (2007-08-21)

i cant get past a certain level, its level 12, called gravemind, i played to that level and when that level starts to load it says "Sorry" "Please insert original Halo 2 Disc", help any1?

2799 (2007-08-21)

Well, this game would work a bit better if the freakin' DX9 file would exist.
Now it doesnt, so fuck this.

dysphunktion (2007-08-21)

2799, would help if you opened up the folder named "INSTALL THESE FIRST". Learn to read instructions.

pygmyshrew (2007-08-21)

so no1 else has this problem that i have? getting to lvl 12, gravemind, and not being able to continue because it says i have to insert the original halo 2 disc? i mean comeon?

Good luck.

when i double click the "XP PLAY HALO 2" i get the black command prompt thing, then it dissapears, and nothing happens. what's wrong!? :/

Arrowstream (2007-09-03)

A huge load of thanks dopeman.

Arrowstream (2007-09-05)

Here is one for all of those who seem to know half of nothing.
If you are missing the d3dx9_31. something file, reinstall DX9 until you get it.
After playing the first level(you can do it before as well) download dopeman's PERMANENT ACTIVATION FIX and follow the EASY instructions. You're good to go. Once you reach lvl 12 (Gravemind) do as lalala1 suggests and get Process Monitor from the link provided by lalala1 on the fifth page of comments.
Install ProcessMon and run it. Then enter Halo 2, go Campaing, select level and select Gravemind.
If you have process monitor running now it WILL WORK. Just did ot myself. However, expect a VERY long loading time. And by VERY LONG I mean like ten minutes(that what it was for me. Centrion Duo 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM, 256 MB graphics)
After the level has loaded, if you want to see the intro before it, just enter the menu by pressing 'Esc' and click 'restart level'. Don't worry, you will start at the beginning of the movie at will not have to reload the whole thing.
Enjoy Gravemind, IMO the best level on the whole game.
After completeing it, re-enter Windows and shut down ProcessMon, since it takes un necessary space. Once you have, the thirteenth level should load like usual. After that you're good to go.

light_yagami (2007-09-06)

ABOUT the d3dx9_31.dll and the other dll problem.
Ok guys look when you are installing Dirext x sometimes it doesnt update the file d3dx9_31.dll. Now in order to solve this either reinstall till u get it or google the file name go to a link where u can download the dll and after u do extcract it at the following location. C:\windows\system 32 after u do so u should be able by going to this file to find the file allong with the d3dx9_29.dll and d3dx9_32.dll 9 ( they arent placed in a folder ). After this u might have problem with the Winxput1_dll or something like that file do the same actions that u did for d3dx9_31.dll.
Those actions worked fine for me but now after loading the HALO 2 icon the game stops and nothing happens. At task manager it says that it doesnt responding, can someone help me? i didnt find an answer for this problem :(

Odace (2007-09-18)

Alrighty, i know others have had the same problem as me and so far i have no solution.
1) i needed d3dx9_25.dll so i got that
2) then i needed XINPUT1_3 so i got that
3) and finially i needed d3dx9_31.dll so i got that
and after all this... it doesnt work. command prompt pops up for about a second and then nothing, zip, nada. Any help?!?!

kajlin (2007-09-19)

Odace
All those files you mentioned are part of ditectX
Make sure u have the latest directX
To check
XP: go to run type dxdiag it will tell you
Vista: just use search dxdiag
u need 9.0c for this to work, maybe 9.0 im not sure

kajlin (2007-09-19)

Ohh yes and a pixel shader compiant video card
if u dont have this..... then your poor and should go get a job

Oh my god!!!! You are the man! Just restored my faith in the p2p, fileshareing,and all things nice. Excellent rip, bloody brilliant. Thanks again.

freakshow17 (2007-09-21)

Hey, dopeman, thanks for all the great progs. I have a quick question. I had a great time playing Halo Combat Evolved on my HP DV6000. Can you tell me, by checking my laptop, if Halo 2 is compatible with my laptop? BTW It's running Vista. Prelaoded. HATE'n it!

reemster (2007-09-21)

DOPEMAN, Got a question.. I've played Halo 2 now for a few days and it works great! One problem: in the level called "that old familiair feeling after the moviescene that the arbiter is pushed with the hammer of tantarus and HALO 2 comes in the screen to load to the next level it pops back to the menu and says: "SORRY, INSERT YOUR ORIGINAL HALO 2 DISC" What now? Please some help anyone! ;)

Wild_Thing (2007-09-22)

Dunno if its a bug, bad console-PC conversion or just bad hardware on my part but i just couldn't get enough sensitivity on my mouse. I set it to ten (ingame) and still i had problems with targeting :/

stanleyman (2007-09-22)

ya hey im having a problem with playing ok i install all that in the first file then i go to halo 2 and click on the xp play then its comes up hit any key then sign in for windows live i made a file but i need a cd key any way to help plz?

stanleyman (2007-09-22)

saladxead (2007-09-22)

So is this just the first level or is their a way to register im missing?

kryckan13 (2007-09-22)

To "reemster":
Get this file: You can find it here on The Pirate Bay. It worked for me, though making it work was a bit tricky. Read the instructions to make sure you do it right.
Good luck!

About my last comment:
It seems my torrent program takes forever (maybe its my connection) to locate seeds

ameritus (2007-09-24)

First off, hats off to Dopeman for the games! Second, I am having an unusual issue not posted yet. After following the installation instructions I can launch the game, create a player, go through the heretic cut scene, and then the initial scene of the armory stage when the guy complains about you beating up the armor.
When it fades to white where the actual game is supposed to start (and you adjust targeting) my screen just stays white, never moves on. I have reinstalled many times, tried the directX from april and from June 07 and even the automated installer someone else posted, always the same. I have a decent computer, AMD 64 3200, 1 gig ram, 6800GT Ultra which was playable with Oblivion.
Any ideas what it might be?

deezeejoey (2007-09-24)

it asks me to register as soon as i start the game :/

adrian81gr (2007-09-25)

IF YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH YOUR MOUSE:
1.FORCE V-SYNC in your graphics card controll panel
or
2.Play in WINDOWED mode.
Strange lag/lack of sensitivity occurs if the game renders more frames per second than your monitor's refresh rate, usually 85hz.
Forcing VSYNC caps your fps at yor refresh rate level. Windowed mode is displayed in sync with the refresh rate by default.

tankfreak3 (2007-09-25)

guys if u wane fix the activation just copy the MF.ddl to your installation folder then u can play all the lvls and maybe online u need hamachi!
well hope it work it works for me :)

seed please :)

Sturticles1 (2007-09-28)

Hey guys, i know most of you are really annoyed at all the guys complaining because they can't get it to work.
My halo 2 works, but very badly. I've seen this in a few comments but it has not been fully answered.
I am running it on XP with a ATI Radeon x1950 PRO 3.2 GHZ 2 Gig ram and i feel like the frame rate is like 5-10 at the best of times.
It is SO Choppy. . I've changed the mouse sensitivity to 10 (INSANE) just to be able to move a bit to shoot someone. I have halo 1 downloaded on my computer, and even that looks atleast 100 times better.
I'm not sure if it's an obvious reason for the lack of windows vista.
But if i can get it to run well on xp, can someone please tell me?
Or maybe a good Vista torrent?
Thanks.

Chaos_Seer (2007-09-29)

Hey guys,
I've installed the XP fix that's advertised here (and correctly).
Here's the thing:
I've got the option to connect to Live
I've got the option to play on the Network.
The problem is when I get to The Gravemind level, I'm told to put in the Halo 2 CD (which I obviously don't have :P)
If I have the correct file in the System32 folder, but not in the Halo 2 folder, I can't play at all because it asks for the CD and doesn't allow Live/Network options. If I do it vice-verca, I get an illegal error. This basically means that the fix isn't working right.
Anyone have this problem?

hate_crazy_frog (2007-09-29)

about halfway in the game its asks me to insert my Halo 2 disk.
i have the fix and it still doesnt work.

thatguy009 (2007-09-29)

here's the deal with gravemind.
1. download process monitor
2. unzip it
3. run halo 2
4. press windows key and run process monitor
5. campaign>select level> gravemind
6. once the intro finishes, pause
7. hit windows key, close process monitor
8. get back to playing

Chaos_Seer (2007-09-30)

That totally worked... But how?

Geruthon (2007-10-01)

Does playing through lan work in this version?

thatguy009 (2007-10-01)

don't know how it works. i found it on another site when i was looking for a fix for gravemind.

Pierotech (2007-10-02)

Dopeman you are the legend of ripping, thank you!
So what, the graphics aint that good, but ull get over it.
Also for those people that had the black dos window pop up for a split second then try extracting the files again and if that doesnt work then sadly you may have to download the game again (sorry).
For those that keep complaining about the cd key message or activation READ THE PREVIOUS POSTS! get the activation files.
For people who are complaing about the mouse not being sensitive enough, mines works fine.
And if your wondering my computer has an 8800gts 640mb with 2gigs of ram and a dual 2.4 gig cpu.
Thanks again dopeman

DamienHell (2007-10-02)

I have a vista. I tried to open halo.exe and it says "The ordinal 100 could not be located in the dynamic link library dwmapi.dll" How do I remove a file? All I can do is drag it out and it just makes a copy.

Pierotech (2007-10-02)

@ zzcool
heres an activation file so you can play all the levels. just download it and follow the simple instructions.
PERMANENT XP ACTIVATION FIX HERE:
http://thepiratebay.se/tor/3728782/
the resons for your freezes could be your graphics card but could also the game itself due to the cracked nature.
@ Damienhell
Have you tryed cuting. right click on the file and cut then right click where u want the file to go then click paste.

DamienHell (2007-10-03)

How do you cut in winRAR? Theres no Cut or copy option and if I've selected it and hit CTRL + X nothing happens

spiffern (2007-10-03)

hi! THX for this fantastic upload. but the speed so low. If you would upload it at a site named www.nordicbits.com the speed would be much higher. Becuse everybody seed there and they seed good! if 2 people seed, the speed would be at 150-200kbps. So please upload there;)

19imperial88 (2007-10-03)

u guys think halo 3 also will be made for XP by hackerz??
i hope so :D

kiptanoi (2007-10-05)

Jag har windows XP
Efter att ha gjort det som står i .nfo filen, och klickat på "XP PLAY HALO 2.bat" så kommer en svart ruta upp och försvinner, sen ändras upplösningen till 800*600, sen kommer denna ruta upp....

LIVE Gaming on windows failed to initialize. This may be because another LIVE Gaming on Windows application (sush as the Halo 2 dedicated server) is running on the same machine. Otherwise, reinstalling the game may fix the problem

Så, hur löser man detta?
Någon glad själ som har en ide?

hrnk (2007-10-05)

I read through the comments, and it doesn't look like anyone else has the same problem I do.
The game downloads, installs, and boots up just fine. But after that, it's almost as if there's a memory leak. It maxes out my processor resources and has horrible frame rate, even when there's no action on screen. Even during the opening scenes it was jerky, as was the dialogue, making it nearly impossible to understand what was going on. It's weird, because it was alright for the first minute or two before that started.
Anyone have any advice?

Christianboy (2007-10-05)

Thx Dopeman!Great Rip And Working!!! ;)

wil32 (2007-10-05)

I have done everything but when i launch it for XP, it brings me to the LIVE network automaticly. what can I do.

Diozakrod (2007-10-07)

Hmm, trying to get this to run on my brothers computer. I try to launch using the MS-DOS Batch file, but when I click it, the cmd prompt appears for 3 seconds, flashes "ECHO IS OFF" or something along those lines, then closes.
Could it be because his system is subpar? And it's refusing to run because it knows it won't be able to play? So weird, ran fine, first try on my system.
Any help appreciated.

xeroy (2007-10-10)

SBones its not always bout ur graphics card to make games run faster.. its also about the processor speed and how much RAM u got.

overtiger (2007-10-10)

i have one error. when I run the .bat file for XP, it changes resolution like its going to load the game, but then crashes and says "LIVE Gaming on Windows failed to Initialize. This may be because another LIVE Gaming on Windows Application (such as Halo 2 dedicated server) is running on the same machine. Otherwise, reinstalling the game may fix this problem".
Anybody can help me to fix this????!!!

Ragewarp (2007-10-11)

Eh, ive got everything downloaded and running but i think i might have messed something up when applying the mf.dll crack. I am still prompted to enter a product key, help would be much appreciated

Kyfus (2007-10-11)

I downloaded and everything, all works good. I even played the game and finished like .. first tests or something-
then i as like done and it came "You need another CD to activate this part of game .. bla bla activiation.."
Whats that? Is is online? I dont get it? Is it possible to activate? Or is cracked Halo only limited to soo little?o .O

RePlay_5 (2007-10-11)

Works great on XP with Gravemind fix + Activation by crejbi. But how can I activate it on Vista? (I want to localize the release, and test it, so don't say: "then play it on xp". This isn't my problem, because I can play this, but I want to know how can I activate this release under Vista.

RePlay_5 (2007-10-11)

I don't have Vista, so I can't test it, but pls tell me, that if I had Vista, I only have to remove dwmapi.dll and I can play all the levels?

RePlay_5 (2007-10-11)

@Kyfus
If you playing on XP:
You have to download this:

Read NFO carefully!

Kiweed (2007-10-12)

Can anyone help me with this problem, when i try to run the game a message pops up saying it cant start because the d3dx9_31.dll is missing, any help would be awsome. Cheers

Viianixis (2007-10-12)

Everyone gives credit to this activation fix...
I have tried it - following the directions exactly - and it does not work at all...
Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Anyone else have this problem?
I also read somewhere that the activation fix works but you have to play the first level over and over as you progress each new level - but that sounds retarded to me...
Okay - anyone have better instructions on how to beat the activation for me?
Thanks.

^^Kasipallo^^ (2007-10-12)

i know how it work's : stick your middle finger in your ass and put it in your mouth and try a gen ;D

420dopeman help me out. I never had a prob with dx9 before.
I downloaded the directx arp07 file from one of the mirrors you provided. The file asked me to browse where to extract the files. I chose a folder and it unpacked around 20-30 RAR/ZIP files from all different dates. What exactly is all of this and what do I do to install the april 2007 version of directx. There is a DXSETUP but it doesn't do anything to let me run an april 2007 version.

kebabman211 (2007-10-17)

hey dopeman thx for the game. but i just dont understand why u dont have all the fixes in the rar folder allready?
and also some animations are missing like the MAC gun shots at cairo and most of the water and in some cutscenes some objects and characters are just grey silhuetes why is that and can i fix it?

halo37253 (2007-10-22)

you use the cd key crack so you can play the whole game. its not that hard. just search for halo 2 key or something and get the cracked key for xp. vary simple process for playing the whole game.
BTW. Plays great at full detail with 1680x1050

krankyz (2007-10-22)

5. campaign>select level> gravemind
6. once the intro finishes, pause
7. hit windows key, close process monitor

XenoPenguin (2007-10-27)

I get the black box thing and nobody has a way to solve it, so I was wondering what I should do... I was downloading this for about 1 week or so and now it doesn't work!!!!
I use the regular "Home" (I think) XP and a command prompt just opens, then closes immediately, then I try it about 50 times, and it doesn't open!!!! Could you help me?

XenoPenguin (2007-10-27)

Oh yeah, it says "ECHO is off". I saw this somewhere...

wiggerr (2007-10-27)

___HELP!____
I can't figure out how you guys are able to play the game. I got it to get past the Halo 2 loading screen for starters, then is the start screen, but when I press any button it opens up a LIVE thinger which makes you creat a new account or log in with your old one, and then it requires you to enter a SERIAL.
This is where I'm stuck, I haven't seen anything about any serials anywhere.... I'm really tired, I probably missed something obvious, but does anybody mind filling me in?
I'd appreciate it

paul_1980 (2007-10-27)

I click on the "XP Play halo 2.bat" and it brings up the cmd prompt and closed after 5 seconds.
Others have had this problem but no answers yet. I am familiar with DOS, so I ran it in cmd prompt and yes my echo is on. When I run the .bat file it says echo is off.

HEY FELLAS!
THOSE OF YOU WITH VISTA--
if you run halo 2 and it says you're missing something, welli had the same problem
all ya gotta do is TYPE THAT MISSING FILE UP on google
google will then direct you to a downloading site. dowload, extract, and put the file in the halo 2 folder and you're all set =]
this is all i pretty much know, i'm a HUGE noob at this...

dukekid5647 (2007-11-20)

i still need to no an activation code for vista plz help

meganoggin (2007-11-21)

ok, i have had the same problem with the .bat file not working
I found the XP activation fix (the one designed for people who bought the game and have XP) and compared that to what the .bat file said.
Seeing that they were exactly the same (but with different directions of course), i did the following:
Using 'cmd.exe' (the command window) i navigated to the directory where "loader.exe" was.
Then i typed in "loader.exe halo2.exe", which is what the .bat does anyway
but.......it ran for like 1 millionth of a second and then said "access denied"
WTF!!!!! what the hell does that mean and how does that make sense at all?!?!?!
..any help would be appreciated

meganoggin (2007-11-21)

and why can i not delete, edit, or move the launch.exe file? thats a little suspicious

chimpakawanzelu (2007-11-24)

hotfart69-
I'm a Vista 32 bit guy as well. Vista 32 recommends that you run the op. sys. with at least 2gb of ram. My computer came with 2gb and I went and bought and installed another 2gb of ram ($84 on sale), which the op. sys. can utilize 3.5gb total - you can never have too much ram. Think about buying and installing more; it's easy. However, 1gb is sufficient for this game (check out http://www.systemrequirementslab.com). It could be your graphics card or something else - that website will find what you need. Whenever I have problems I read the prior comments (all of them) for insight - they usually heip. Reextracting and reinstalling often works too. I'm only 2 weeks old to the torrent, Azureus, etc. world and equally as new to gaming, but I hope this helps.
Nice name by the way.
I'll be of greater help once I get it download.
Speaking of that - - - there's 250 possible seeds and none, zero, zip are connected!! C'mon guys pay it forward - help out the bro's. SEED!!!!

Fucko-
I mean Stevo. I'm seeding 9 different games at the moment - just 3 at a time due to my slow upload speed. I choose those 3 based on the Seed2Peer Ratio. Currently Halo2 has a higher ratio than some of the other games that I have, but to stop your crying I've started seeding it again. Here's a phrase you should learn: Please seed. Did you know that you can block and ban specific IP addresses??? Think about it.

Vista users: this works great on Vista 32bit. Be sure to download the HALO 2 ACTIVATION WORKAROUND. Don't mess with the ACTIVATION FIX - didn't work for me. Also be sure to disable your firewall and user account control before unraring the ACT WORKAROUND. Those two things are usually the problem in Vista op.systems. Cheers!!

I've (re)installed DirectX 9, and I tried to install the Visual C++ Library. I'm not sure if it installed it, because every time I run the corresponding .msi file, it just loads something, and then shuts down. I don't know if it does anything.
If I try to play the game, the loading screen (with the Halo 2 text) comes up, then the screen goes black, and the game crashes? Anyone know how to deal with that?

I don't want to spend hours downloading this for it not to work. I have an XP 2004 and I meet all the game's requirements.

You know - this doesn't actually work... I have tried to use the crack by Dopeman and bypass the activation and it doesn't work... You ALWAYS start on the first level to replay over and over and over... I have followed all the instructions exactly - and nothing.
It doesn't work so don't waste your time downloading it UNLESS you can find another activation fix that actually works or just go out and buy the game...

Potatodude (2008-01-24)

plz help me is coming only with 2 kb/sec at some time:(

Potatodude (2008-01-24)

oh is that not work?? FUCK!

boksholm (2008-01-25)

When I finnished Level 1 it says that I have to activate the game. .how do I do that?

DeBeuker (2008-01-26)

Can i play this online?

Kazuhiro9000 (2008-01-30)

Well together with the permanent xp activation fix the game "almost" worked perfectly. However the permanent fix obviously wasn't completed before its release. With it you can play 2/3 of the game. However after that it will request the original disk to continue. Sad. Hopefully they will finish the fix.

snipe_dis (2008-01-30)

after first level it ask you to insert the dvd, this one sucks

muriator (2008-02-01)

stanleyman (2008-02-02)

Source2007 (2008-02-02)

initialization failed. either insufflicent system resources were found to run the game, or game data is missing or damaged.
That is what it said when I press the XP PLAY HALO 2 but all my system requirements are high enough for halo 2.
I know I said this before but I still can't get it to work. Help please?

loki_doki (2008-02-02)

==PROBLEM SOLVED==
People having that Insert Disc 2 crap when you reach level 12, gravemind here is the fix follow the instructions it will unlock the whole game, no renaming of files just READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!

This has been done on Win XP, havent tried on Vista btw...

Ridwan52 (2008-02-05)

NO you cant play this online. And YES indeed it is a stupid question. Specally since if you read the info it say "-No, you aint be playing this online. Dont ask-" But hey, we all got to learn somewhere. =)

joshduarte6 (2008-02-13)

how do i activate on vista?

kanonkas (2008-02-16)

joshduarte6, you smartass, read the info of this torrent and you'll see whats the darn problem, it's you not taking the time to read before asking, the problem is, u haven't removed 'dwmapi.dll' from the game folder, when u done that u can start the game, click on halo2.exe happy gaming but next time keep in mind READING the nfo.

joshduarte6 (2008-02-17)

hey dick fuck:) i fixed the dll shit problem thats why i asked how to activate you know? i beat the first level and so now i want to play the second so i have have to activate it and i click the cute activate icon and it gives me the little approve or deny thing and i approve it then after that nothing happens

Anyone got a few pointers for me? :?

mxkey (2008-02-27)

Didnt work for me, judging from the comments I dont think it has worked for anybody

Suicider1981 (2008-02-28)

Worked great! Thanx! Just found the patch also...not that far in the game yet, but downloaded that too.

buffboi (2008-03-04)

people you dont install the game you just play it with the icon that he gives you read the details it does say no install /unrar & play every one le3arn to read for god sake you are so sad you would not have to get the arse on if you read most of the details to the games.

ben_high (2008-03-05)

Before I download this can someone tell me how this game gets past the Gravemind cutscene. The last version I DL'd always crashed at that scene and i heard that was a problem for all XP users.

dan1the2man (2008-03-05)

how do i make it download?..when i try to download i have to open file but it only starts over again

Validuz (2008-03-06)

Is the game supposed to look really, REALLY crappy on Windows XP? It feels NONE of the shaders are working.
I can't remap the movement keys to ESDF.
I can't create a LAN Co-Op game, I can get to Multiplayer screen via the MF.dlls but I can't actually create a game.
Any help is appreciated.

maverin2 (2008-03-07)

i guess Microsoft pc games will always be crap on XP no matter what you do, it shoudl be able to work fine but they will do whatever they can to get your money, other wise it should run fine for me cuz i have a great computer and teh game still runs choppy on low detail...or am i missing something???

Adde_2 (2008-03-09)

EVERYBODY READ THIS: SEVERAL OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DOWLOADED THIS SHIT HAVE FOUND TROJANS IN THERE COMPUTERS RIGHT AFTER THEY COMPLETED THE DOWNLOAD. INCLUDING ME.
IF YOU WANT A TROJAN IN YOUR COMPUTER, GO AHEAD AND DOWNLOAD THIS. IT TOOK ME WEEKS TO DOWNLOAD THIS. DON'T DO THE SAME MISTAKE I DID.

Adde_2 (2008-03-09)

IT TOOK ME WEEKS TO DOWNLOAD THIS. AND WHAT DID I GET, HU? A TROJAN. DON'T DO THE SAME MISTAKE I DID.
Im not saying it's your fault DOPEMAN, but there's a pretty damn big chance it is.

Luciferijaner (2008-03-09)

adde, you noob, it isnt a trojan, its your antivirus panicking.
One more thing, writing in caps doesnt make you smarter....

BloodRain212 (2008-03-09)

hey, would u like to help me with this? it keep saing that i dont have d3dx9_31.dll

ben_high (2008-03-11)

I also have the problem where it asks you to insert the disc and validate the game after the first level. Has anyone found a way around that problem yet?

ben_high (2008-03-11)

Here is the fix for the activation request after level 1. Someone be kind enough to copy and paste this info to the next page of comments when it rolls around.

Very easy to fix the activation problem but I don't know if Gravemind level is going to work as the 2 have nothing to do with each other. Will report back after I get to gravemind.

magicseeder (2008-03-11)

FOR EVERYBODY HAVING ANY KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THAT:
1st: It definitely does not contain Trojan, Virus of anything different (even if, thats what anti virus progs are for)
2nd: If it doesn't work with you, read the .nfo if you have problems opening it, right click it, open with, editor or note pad
If you have got any other problems, I don't know them!

kudosa (2008-03-12)

For those who dont know: Dopeman torrents >
You dont need to "install" just run from the game folder.
You cant patch unless there is a specific dopeman patch.
You cant play online unless you use a private server.
You will need to install directx and /or ageis phsyx which will be included.
Files sizes are smaller because the game has been specially hacked to reduce size. (movies etc re-encoded)
Doctors dont use leeches anymore, Seed your torrents.
Respect to Dopeman/Fairlight/Crystal

ben_high (2008-03-12)

I had to download another fix to get gravemind to load. But this version works perfectly after you install both fixes.
I'm really busy right now but later I will post a links to both fixes and a thorough step-by-step walkthrough for how to install this game, install both fixes, and configure this game to work almost perfectly on xp.
Fair warning to anyone who has played either the xbox or Vista version of H2, the XP version has no bloom lighting for some reason.

xirod (2008-03-13)

Seed ffs!

duncanbmcg (2008-03-13)

I've gone through all the comments.. I have XP. I load the XP PLAY HALO 2.bat file and the cmd comes up for a split second and then closes. I have the latest DirectX.. Someone please answer this question.. hundreds of people are asking it. What's the problem.

ben_high (2008-03-14)

Alright, here's how to get this version working 100% on windowsXP without activation problems or problems with the gravemind level loading. Any DirectX problems you have are between you and your DirectX, you'll have to fix that yourself.

DOWNLOAD #1
Download this copy of Halo2 of course.
Step 1.) No need to install dopemans games. Just Create a folder named Halo 2 anywhere you want the game then use winrar to unrar the Halo 2 file to that folder.
Step 2.) Go to the folder that you unrared the Halo 2 file to and find the folder that says "INSTALL THESE FIRST". Install XLiveRedist1.0.6027.msi, then vcredist.msi.
Step 3.) Dopemans readme says to use "XP PLAY HALO.bat to start Halo 2. Don't use it. If you use his you wont be able to get past gravemind. We will make a replacement with download #3
DOWNLOAD #2

Step 1.) Inside of this download are 2 folders, Halo 2 and System 32, open System 32 first and minimize the folder.
Step 2.) Navigate to and open your sytem 32 folder in your windows directory. Drag and drop the file from activation fix system 32 folder into your windows system 32 folder.
Step 3.) Do the same with the file in the activation fix Halo 2 folder. Drag and drop the file into your Halo 2 folder.

DOWNLOAD #3

Step 1.) Unrar the downloaded file and move both the loaderplus.exe and WowMon.Dll files to your Halo 2 folder.
Step 2.) Open a new text file in Notepad. Copy this into it.
@echo off
cls
title HALO 2
cls
Loaderplus.exe halo2.exe
cls
echo
Step 3.) Close and save the text file. Now rename it Halo 2.bat This is the file you double-click to start Halo 2 now, so go ahead and "send to desktop" (create a desktop shortcut) if you want.
Game should now work perfectly when launched from Halo 2.bat
Step 4 is skippable. just a heads up for those that don't know.
Step 4.) If you dont like that ugly batch file icon on your desktop then you can replace it. Right-click on your desktop icon then click on properties. Click on "choose icon". It will give you some message about not having an icon but just click ok. Click on browse and navigate to your Halo 2 folder and use either the startup.exe or the halo2.exe icons. Doesnt matter which as they are both identical.
I re-read this post 3 times and I don't see where I missed any steps so outside of DirectX problems this game should work perfectly for all Windows XP users.

Nord92 (2008-03-14)

Working fine and i have vista and

Diffitz (2008-03-16)

search for your missing dll file on google and download it

ben_high (2008-03-18)

Did you read dopemans read-me that came with this download Neoncillo? The readme says Vista users only need to remove 1 file from the Halo 2 folder then start with halo2.exe instead of a .bat file. I don't have the readme on hand but i think that's what it says.

Also if anyone has followed my instructions for installing on XP and it worked for you please speak up. Also let me know if any steps were difficult to follow so I know what to fix so I can repost it on the next page.

patarstar (2008-03-19)

Very easy to fix the activation problem but I don't know if Gravemind level is going to work as the 2 have nothing to do with each other. Will report back after I get to gravemind.

Aaditotjo (2008-05-06)

WHAT???? IVE SPENT WEEKS DOWNLOADING THIS< AND IT SAYS: "the ordinal 100 could not be located in the dynamic link library dwmapi.dll."
Can someone PLEASE help?!

matthewp240 (2008-05-07)

I can't install vcredist.msi. It says that it's gathering required information and then it stops once the loading bar is complete. I've allowed permission to install the program too. If that is the whole installation process than I have another problem and that is that when I click on the Halo2.exe it says that "The ordinal 100 could not be located in the dynamic link library dwmapi.dll." I'm pretty new to this and could use any help available

Ojohnsew (2008-05-09)

I don't the DX is the 07 version... Here is the 07 version:

god_nikko (2008-05-10)

Hostel-1 (2008-05-11)

Jesus Christ... Ok you fucking n00bs. First install the files that read install first. I ignored thr zip its not needed then regishter it. Then open up the file that reads "XP PLAY HALO 2" and presto!

KillerCB (2008-05-11)

Fucking sucks....doesn't work. I had to download 2 other dll files and when i click to run the batch to play, it takes forever to bring up the halo 2 logo with the light scrolling across it. then closes itself out. Best bet people. BUY THE FUCKING THING!!!!!

Cybergangsta (2008-05-12)

It works.
Your the best dopeman!

nebsterboy (2008-05-14)

M3phisto666 (2008-05-28)

Hey Dopeman, what's up with this shittie graphics quality? Even if I turn everything to high it looks worse than HALO Combat Evolved... So how do I get better graphics?

Skullman555626 (2008-05-29)

*sigh* Where's the product key? Its probably somewhere and I'm just not seeing it but....yeah some help would be nice.

Beatrice5 (2008-05-29)

If you are a Vista user DO NOT DOWNLOAD. It does NOT work. It is CRAP!

Beatrice5 (2008-05-30)

I'm sorry Dopeman this does work in Vista if you remove the file dwapi.dll and run halo2.exe
Thank you.
The graphics look very dated and blocky but I like the humor.

r_dreamwalker (2008-05-31)

When i run the xp.bat file i get the dos screen flash up and disappear and you can see it says 'echo is off'.
How do you resolve this??
Thanks in advance

Halogamer (2008-06-02)

After you extract then install the other stuff after that wat do you do?

Halogamer (2008-06-02)

I have Xp and on the label its say capable with vista programs. NICE!!!!!!!!

Fubar22 (2008-06-02)

For all of those who get the install screen or the load screen and then it suddenly exits, this is the reason why it does this. Open up the DirectX winrar and extract it to wherever you extract. It should ask you for a location in which I usually use my desktop. The locate the dxsetup and install this. then run the game again and boom!...you're game! This is assuming you have already understood how the XP patch works.

Full guide for installation people. I found my resolution here

tavener (2008-06-02)

yeah it does not work for vista =(

Tiger_Zip (2008-06-03)

lol. dont download it!!! look at all commentary, now its like 707 how cant get this to work, dont waste your time download it, and dont ever use vista it suxx so hard.!

tapja62 (2008-06-03)

tuanduong (2008-06-04)

For dumb vista users who says it doesn't work.
Just delete the f**king dwmapi.dll file from the game folder and start it. Its easy.

HorrorFuckShitass (2008-06-04)

What the fuck. Does anything you put up work? Appearently not.

bm5k (2008-06-05)

i have vista and there are 2 halo.exe files.
neither of them run.
one is a list of certificates and the other ask me to find a program to open it.
so help me out here.

Diffitz (2008-06-06)

It works on VISTA but i only get one level and then the game finishes...
kan some one help me?

montypi (2008-06-06)

Ok now that's retarded... My torrent program is saying there's 435 leechers (and I'm getting speeds to match) but here it says there's only 5. Any ideas? Also, we're with Telstra (trying to switch ASAP) and uploads are counted. Will my download speeds go down if I don't seed enough? I've currently got it set to stop seeding at 0.1, and I feel guilty for not helping out the community more. :-(

ecalfudge (2008-06-07)

how do i find out what the validation code for online play is
+ everything else is excellent I've just completed its a gr8 game tyvm ;)

ToreThePirate (2008-06-07)

Woot .. Cant wait to begin playing this !

montypi (2008-06-07)

@00-WOLF-00 and ecalfudge
He says in the readme, YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PLAY ONLINE. READ THE F***ING README.
Works fine BTW, I had to use the activation fix and the Gravemind fix (loaderplus.exe) but apart from that, it is AWESOME. They're not big at all, I recommend you get them anyway just in case.
QUESTION: Can two of these Halo 2's play multiplayer over a LAN/network?

halofreak666 (2008-06-08)

nicely done, but, its not working
i have xp and DX9 i reinstalled it, from one of your mirrors, i installed the "install these first" and i go to the XP PLAY HALO 2.bat, the screen turns black like its about to come up, but then it comes up with a "thing" saying "Initialization failed. Either insufficient system resources were found to run the game, or game data is missing or damaged. Reinstalling the game may fix this problem." well, idk wat to do
SOME ONE PLEASE HELP
thanks in advanced

halofreak666 (2008-06-08)

**Update**
i tried CJF-117's method, but still it dosent work... it says the same thing

montypi (2008-06-09)

@ halofreak666
What's your computer like? There's a chance that you have a PC that's not good enough to run Halo 2.

Liger314194 (2008-06-10)

does anyone noe if this works well?

k5josh (2008-06-18)

To all who have problems (copied from ben_high's post):
Alright, here's how to get this version working 100% on windowsXP without activation problems or problems with the gravemind level loading. Any DirectX problems you have are between you and your DirectX, you'll have to fix that yourself.
DOWNLOAD #1
Download this copy of Halo2 of course.
Step 1.) No need to install dopemans games. Just Create a folder named Halo 2 anywhere you want the game then use winrar to unrar the Halo 2 file to that folder.
Step 2.) Go to the folder that you unrared the Halo 2 file to and find the folder that says "INSTALL THESE FIRST". Install XLiveRedist1.0.6027.msi, then vcredist.msi.
Step 3.) Dopemans readme says to use "XP PLAY HALO.bat to start Halo 2. Don't use it. If you use his you wont be able to get past gravemind. We will make a replacement with download #3
DOWNLOAD #2

Step 1.) Inside of this download are 2 folders, Halo 2 and System 32, open System 32 first and minimize the folder.
Step 2.) Navigate to and open your sytem 32 folder in your windows directory. Drag and drop the file from activation fix system 32 folder into your windows system 32 folder.
Step 3.) Do the same with the file in the activation fix Halo 2 folder. Drag and drop the file into your Halo 2 folder.
DOWNLOAD #3

Step 1.) Unrar the downloaded file and move both the loaderplus.exe and WowMon.Dll files to your Halo 2 folder.
Step 2.) Open a new text file in Notepad. Copy this into it.
@echo off
cls
title HALO 2
cls
Loaderplus.exe halo2.exe
cls
echo
Step 3.) Close and save the text file. Now rename it Halo 2.bat This is the file you double-click to start Halo 2 now, so go ahead and "send to desktop" (create a desktop shortcut) if you want.
Game should now work perfectly when launched from Halo 2.bat
Step 4 is skippable. just a heads up for those that don't know.
Step 4.) If you dont like that ugly batch file icon on your desktop then you can replace it. Right-click on your desktop icon then click on properties. Click on "choose icon". It will give you some message about not having an icon but just click ok. Click on browse and navigate to your Halo 2 folder and use either the startup.exe or the halo2.exe icons. Doesnt matter which as they are both identical.

mhc7791 (2008-07-05)

Of course you can play this online. All you need to do is call Microsoft up and tell them you want to play online. Easy as that.

cjohns299 (2008-07-07)

Fyler (2008-07-07)

If someone can find the directory to the update when you try to sign on XBL then I could get everyone online, someone needs to just post the most recent updated needed to play.
Before I get on it says I need to update. So hurry and upload it and post a link... I got this!

windowsman.01 (2008-07-12)

if you want halo 2 then just buy it at pretty much any store and play on vista sure it would cost about 300 bucks

jkshoem (2008-07-13)

I downloaded and followed directions and it works great thankx Dopeman.... got any kush?

Kick-On-Foo (2008-07-14)

is it possible to play on lan?

zenitram80 (2008-07-16)

Or you can download Vista at no cost cause nobody should pay for a product that sucks

bennybennyenny (2008-07-16)

Did you crack the actual map files? If so that kinda sucks because that then disables modding abilities I believe.

js1438 (2008-07-17)

Somebody please seed some more. My download is staying at %3 and isn't kicking off! I promise to seed back if some just seeds for me

jennysalala (2008-07-17)

I got somewhat of exciting news. I just bought the game, and installed it on XP using the loader_plus (to get past gravemind level). As many other, I wanted to get it to work with online on XP, so I tried a few things.
After a while of minimal tampering, I was able to boot into LIVE and see my acc preferences and other stuff. In other words, I logged online in Halo 2 on XP!
There is major issue though. You can't play online! When I entered the server browser, the servers came up but I was unable to join. The error message "You are unable to join. Please try again in a few moments". Though you still can't join after a "few moments". I'm pretty sure that single player achievements work though.
Oh and by the way, you need to buy the game to get online at all! You'll get no where without a valid cd-key.

KiLLer_ (2008-07-18)

i'm running windows vista ultimate x64 bit,
my computer is FINE with double recomended settings. I installed the DirectX apr. 07 version, ran the XLiveRedist, but when i ran vcredist, it said it was gathering required information, then died out. I have given it full premissions, but it won't run for me. now when i start the game it asks me for a cd key as soon as i (press any key to start). Help- anybody?

xXCoNrAd117Xx (2008-08-06)

nevermind, i'm sorry dopeman.
all i needed to do was create a new profile, not sign in with my windows live ID.
game works great
Thanks!

Jesse_Kessu (2008-08-07)

xIxAMxKING (2008-08-18)

oklast time i tried to download the other halo 2 torrent that said u created, the vcredis said it was broken

Anbumedic (2008-08-19)

If you're stuck with level 3 cause of the activation problem, go here:
it has the small file needed to get past the activation annoyance, it'll pop up a little error but it'll work fine after that, and there is another file in the comments of that one, with another file that may or may not have to be replaced.
hope this helps...

nobks (2008-08-20)

i'm having a problem nobody seems to have posted yet...
The game runs and everything, but the menu is invisible. AHHH

nobks (2008-08-21)

okay so there seems to be a lot of people with this problem. There are NO WORDS in the game. Main menu is invisible, grenade # and ammo doesnt show.

OkkiNoNo (2008-08-21)

kimmiboy92 (2008-08-25)

thank you for the game! and well done on the user manual on how to play the game! this is how you should make a user manual!!

11fingers (2008-08-26)

Can you play online in Vista using Dopeman's version?

kimmiboy92 (2008-08-26)

no you cant... if you have read dopemans text you should knowe it.. but one question dope.. How can i activate the game.. because i could only play the first mission?

koentjuh (2008-08-28)

ok I got this problem Dopeman, that all the maps are damaged...
I just unrar it with Winrar but when it gets to the maps it totally fails and says the files are damaged or invalid..
what to do :/

lordspanky (2008-08-29)

get news winzip.. u got old winzip thats the problem

onthespot64 (2008-08-29)

I have a problem and I cant find a way to fix it. It happens at THE ARBITER level.
When that level is loading, the screen changes to all-black and the hard disk heads park. No further activity occurs. The system (Windows Vista Home Premium) then freezes and must be manually powered off.
Once, and only once, was I able to get the level intro video to play (where the Arbiter gets his armor). After the video finishes, the same black screen and freezing described above occurs.
Further attempts to load the level have resulted in only the black screen -- the video has not played since it showed that one time.

DkIn112 (2008-09-22)

Can anyone help me with this?
Everything SEEMS to work fine, and my machine has XP, but when I run Halo 2 for it using the .bat, it STARTS the game, and I see the initial load screen and Gregorian chanting, but then it flashes, turns black, music stops, and the game quits (While making my resolution the SMALLEST it will go.)
I also put in the Permanent Activation Fix, but that did nothing (not that I expected it to.)
Possible problems?
-My machine fits all the requirements EXCEPT that it requires 1gb RAM and I have 960gb RAM- But I figured since the "Minimum Requirements" are also the "Recommended Requirements" according to windows, the accepted range kind of fits into my range. Would the game really end itself if I'm short just a few MB?

DkIn112 (2008-09-28)

No takers?

Wiiaddict (2008-09-29)

witten19 (2008-09-29)

Hi, I have the same problem as 'onthespot64' and 'heypete' (on another page). I can play the game up to the point were the Arbiter level is loading and then my screen turns black and I need to close the pc off manually. Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Or can someone load that level up so I can merge it in the game dir? I don't even know if this will cure the problem, but any kind of help will be much appriciated. I've googled it but didn't find a way to resolve this, maybe the two guys I mentioned above can provide me some clues. I have a xp pro sp3 machine and I want to finish this magnificent game to the end... PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN !!! Thanks in advance...

Whats the solution to this?- many people have been getting this error.

satpirate (2008-12-14)

The same problem... "Live gaming on Windows failed to initialize" when i doubleclicked 'XP PLAY HALO 2.bat'
Pls help dopeman or someone who got this solved... many thanks...

satpirate (2008-12-14)

Dopeman, pls help to troubleshoot the problem i am facing.... "Live gaming on Windows failed to initialize" I am having XP, 512MB RAM, Intel GMA ... pls throw some light whether is it a problem with system minimum requirement or what???

swgeek10056 (2008-12-20)

FOR ANYONE WHO HAS PROBLEMS LIKE THE PEOPLE BEFORE ME WITH "Live gaming on Windows failed to initialize" ITS BECAUSE YOU NEED TO PATCH ONLINE GAME PLAY. its not because of your system or anything, its because it was not included in the files given. i read about this from another person, i forgot his name, but he was on tpb. anyway go to this site and upload the patch and it SHOULD help.

if it doesnt then i will have no clue as to how to help you further, nor will i because i seldom visit the same torrent download url twice. if it doesnt work, then as far as i know, you're screwed.

Excuse me, I seem to be having a bit of an unknown problem here. I've installed XLiveRedsit1.0.6027, but when I tried to install vcredit, it got about half way through the installation it came up with an error message saying "Error 1311. Source file not found: Verify that the file exists and that you can access it." It happens every time I attempt to install it, but I can't find the file, let alone the folder it's supposed to be in. Could you advise me as to what I'm doing wrong?

Probelm solved for me! vdrug, download the .dll file form this site and save it to C:/Windows/System 32/

erasared, use WinRar to extract everthing into a folder.

I don't have winrar yet right now but i have daemon tool i wish to mount the H2,7z

Shungbat69 (2009-01-15)

Where Do I extract these files? This is so fucked up, that vcredist.msi doesn't even do anything, it says sum stupid shit when it opens but doesn't install anything. And what do I do with the Rar file called vcredis1?

Shungbat69 (2009-01-15)

Wtf, I started playing the campaign and it says I need to activate the product somehow, wtf do I do? This torrent is gay.

HHHSSS24 (2009-01-18)

how do you install

zimsmoke (2009-01-20)

There is no install.
Extract. Play.
for the activation crap...
move the mf.dll in this to windows\system
and get the razor cracked mf.dll and put that into the game folder.
all works good.
Kind of lame game tho. if you dual wield a weapon you can no longer swap weapons.
the control setup is real sad.
and the storyline is kind of empty this time around.

EaglesGod5 (2009-01-23)

Pfffft, can't even play this online. What's the point of downloading this shit then when I have Halo 2 for Xbox?

darkmarksman (2009-01-26)

vdrug your problem is probably a directx problem. Try to reinstall directx

Shungbat69 (2009-01-27)

umm, what razor cracked mf.dll file? Where the fuck do u get that from?

whitey898 (2009-02-06)

3.once u reach level 12 gravemind download proces monitor just google it and voila ure set to play Halo 2.... note u dont need to do anything with proces monitor just have it runing before u load gravemind level

supernovahh (2009-02-24)

if you have a message says, " Live Gaming on Windows failed to initialize. This may be because another
LIVE Gaming on Windows application (such as the Halo 2 dedicated server) is
running on the same machine. Otherwise, reinstalling the game may fix this
problem."
i have 3 solutions on that first go to control panel
uninstall livegaming and go to this link and download it
place it to halo2 folder...and ur done

Hi Dopeman, got your H2 and the relevant patches..has been playing fine for many levels, but I've completed a level with the Arbiter, it plays an FMV with the Index being taken from him by the Brutes, and the "Sorry - Insert original Disc" message comes up, preventing me from continuing...any ideas on getting past this error? Cheers

Shadowsken (2009-03-22)

Could somebody somehow get that .dll file to me?

Shadowsken (2009-03-22)

I seem to be the only person with this problem too ... :S

Shadowsken (2009-03-22)

Sorry for the tonne of comments but every time i try to f***ing start the game it tells me i have some kind of .dll file missing.
Why does god hate me

pn00s (2009-03-24)

Looks like I'm in need of the Gravemind fix. Only one I could download was TheBabeLover's one, which doesn't unRAR properly (has an error) and then refuses to start when put inthe right place. Is there a Dopeman version of the Gravemind Fix?

Hey for those of you guys with .DLL extension problems. (eg) blah blach culdnt find blah.dll. When this happens, just copy down what .dll extension is missing in that eroor message, go to google.com, and type in the missing .DLL. then DOWNLOAD once you find it(save to desktop so its easy to find later on), THEN COPY THE FILE INTO YOUR SYSTEM32 FOLDER!!!!!
*system32 folder can be found with this file path:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
after you find it, COPY THE NEWLY DOWNLOADED .DLL INTO THAT FOLDER!! DO NOT PUT IT IN ANY OTHER FOLDER OR SUB-FOLDERS!
if this helped, plz rep me up plz. :D and srry for the caps.

Barbarus1 (2009-04-19)

I got the .dll fix from crejbi and the game worked fine untill the end of an arbiter level (the one were he gets the T-shaped key thing and is betrayed by his own).
right then i get the message again for inserting the halo cd. I saw some comments with the same problem but no solution yet. Havent read all 36 pages with comments though.
anyone know how to fix this? thx

Alright, I applied the xp patch(the 1st comment), installed the stuff in the [obvious] folder, downloaded DX9, filled in the missing dll files, but when I launched it(it got no errors) nothing happened. halo2.exe has an error, along with startup.exe. I ran XP ON HALO 2, nothing works.
I waited 3 days for this torrent, so please help. As of now I'm typing at 2:18 AM in my timezone.

PX173 (2009-05-16)

When I finally got startup.exe to launch, it says "Files either damaged or missing."
Very stupid.

teamsamson888 (2009-05-24)

doesnt work ask for cd key pretty weak.

ZackyBear (2009-05-27)

Hmm that's weird... It worked before the crejbi activation fix. But after doing what he said in the read me, it started getting errors.

Andrewb94 (2009-05-31)

Dopeman, I love you for uploading this, but there's a problem. whenever I start the halo 2.exe file it says "this application has failed to start because d3dx9_31.dll was not found. Re installing the application may fix this problem."
Halp

timranger (2009-06-07)

I am having trouble, how can i play online?? i know, it is a noob question, deal with it

S53 (2009-06-13)

Reinstall DX9 for any "d3dx9_....." problems.

megas_xlm (2009-06-20)

Thanks, dopeman. Excellent torrent. The only problem I have is none of the text is showing up. I can play the game until the first level on Earth, but after that an error message shows up and I don't know WTF it says.
Anyone know a solution?

John79416 (2009-06-22)

If I get a legit CD key will this work online?

andicro (2009-06-22)

I'm very disapointed with this game becouse it JERK!!!
I try to play on low and default,try to lover resolution but nothing helps!
I have:
---Xp Professional
Service Pack 3 RTM Build 5512
Directx 10
Gamer Edition
---AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 5400+,3.01GHz
2.00GB of RAM
---ATI Radeon HD 3870,512MB-GDDR3
My PC easy plays all newest game with no problem but this HALO 2 for XP and Vista JERK!!!
IS THERE ANY PATCH TO SOLVE THIS JERK PROBLEM and how to applied it?

Pro_Downloader (2009-06-23)

sorry dopeman but doesnt work on vista, well not on mine, i can play the first 3 level (which r the training levels but after tht it says i need a activation code thing or something like tht =(

John79416 (2009-06-25)

Funny thing is I have the same JERK problem. But another question If I get a legit CD key will this work online?

John79416 (2009-06-25)

Everytime I try to change the resolution my pc crashes

dewil619 (2009-06-25)

hey dopeman halo 2 worked perfectly in the beginning but when I got to the Gravemind level it asked me to insert original halo 2 game disc.what should I do?

John79416 (2009-06-28)

This is pretty much useless. Even if you own a legit cd key you can't update the game and play online. Also has a jerk problem and screen resolution. You also can't play it on lan over hamachi due to the fact that you cant update it for some dumb reason.

ruukasa (2009-06-29)

after the first couple levels when master chief heads to earth a thing pops up and says something like "activate to continue playing" or something and exits to main screen, anyone have any idea what to do?
also sorry to everyone out there asking for help (seems like majority of ppl posting) but i dont think dopeman looks at this torrent anymore so hopefully there are other ppl out there with technical knowledge and time to help.

p0tat0eboy (2009-07-03)

Hi, I was just wondering if I should sign in with my actual LIVE Gamertag?
Thanks

John79416 (2009-07-06)

No you shouldn't after you do that it will ask you for a valid cd key meaning legit purchased one.

John79416 (2009-07-06)

I went ahead and bought the game instead for online play.

Shadow2D (2009-07-08)

When loading the fourth level ("Outskirts") the game asks for the original CD and to activate the game. I realize that this has probably been answered somewhere within 900+ comments, but I REALLY dont want to read through that.
So what do I do? Is there a patch or crack or something?

Shadow2D (2009-07-09)

Nevermind that last comment.
When loading gravemind, it asks for the original disk. I'll look around for what I should do, but if I cant find it, someone kindly help me.

ruukasa (2009-07-10)

the thing on the first page that says it fixes xp also fixes vista problems, although i did have to fight my computer for control of system 32 folder.

Avendesora (2009-07-11)

#2 To declare myself being very much finished with all work concerning this game. An outrageous number of hours went in to this game, and to be honest, I dont play it, nor ever will. All my playing hours were only to test. Its not my preferred genre of games and was simply a conquest of sorts for all of you. Hence, I will not be replying to any comments or answering any more questions. So please try to help each other out.
I want to thank crejbi again for discovering an activation fix that works with my rip. Thank you.
420Dopeman wrote this in 2007. has nobody noticed he isnt answering questions anymore?

penguin23 (2009-07-17)

I put in the files from the xp activation fix into the correct places and it would let me play further levels but it would ask for the halo 2 game disk once i reached to the level called Gravemind. Can someone help me fix this?

godware (2009-07-17)

works great but it has a slight jerking problem for me. not my computer as I can see that other people have the same problem.
and people should stop asking about online stuff. It even says so in the instructions. "No, you aint be playing this online. Dont ask"
so there. otherwise, the torrent actually works anyway.

moneymadman398 (2009-07-17)

oh nevermind. it doesn't jerk for me now and it seems to work perfectly but my menu still jerks a little
the game itself working fine.
cheers to tha dope

scoper156 (2009-08-24)

hey dopeman i followed EVERY instruction u said for vista and the xlive thing when i start game it doesnt let me pass to 2nd mission... it askes for product key

Pro_Downloader (2009-08-28)

ive tried everything to get tht activation thing to work, but nothing for vista has worked for me!!! the first 3 training lvls or first 3 thingys u do works, but right after tht u need a bloody activation code or something??? its either the crack wont read or work for vista or this perfectly good torrent from "dopeman" isnt complatible for vista or something like tht!!!!!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!? well thts wat i think!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

joshfb (2009-08-30)

Gravemind fix

Laendir (2009-09-16)

I've done what Dopeman said, but it won't get past the intro. The "light" touches the "A" in "HALO", then shuts down. I've downloaded the correct DirectX and installed the "install these first"-files. I didn't find any answers in the comments - please answer.

tyross (2009-09-21)

icmruggs (2009-10-23)

Thanks! I had to use your XP Activation workaround @
in order to get past the 3rd level (Level 1: The Hertic, Level 2: The Armory, Level 3: Ciaro Station played flawlessly with this torrent.) Both torrents had clear and easy to understand instructions.
You delivered the goods.

Ron-007 (2009-11-06)

need seeders pplz, plz would be muchly appreciated

bird4mspace (2009-11-17)

Game works perfectly on Vista! For those getting dx errors, update your dx files from M$ webshit.

avi_benny (2009-11-17)

This file is corrupt, after loading the image it just kept saying that it was corrupt.

dagen0 (2009-11-22)

I got no clue at first when i opened the XP PLAY HALO 2 file it said missing dxdx9 or wutever then i downloaded the april 07 version and everything then it opened but like 2 seconds after it closes

dagen0 (2009-11-22)

and im not sure why but for some reason i cant read any of the comments ill change pages and its just blank

saare (2009-11-29)

i have a question if i going toclick on the startup then it says createprocesswithtokenW COULD NOT BE LOCATED IN THE DYNAMIC LINK LIBARY ADVAPI32.DLL BUT I HAVE ADVAPI32.DLL

.BlackIce (2009-12-05)

Fucking Dopeman has the worst torrents ever. All of his uploads are stupid as fuck, most of them where he removes multiplayer. Halo 2 is boring as fuck in single player, so unless your playing online or with a friend in coop then what's the fucking point in even downloading this?

RaLe626 (2009-12-11)

Works on both Win XP SP2 and Win7 64 bit.
Thanks a lot :)

PatrickManning (2009-12-11)

How do I "activate" so that I can play past The Armory. This upload is SHIT. I lost all my save data when it stopped me from progressing the first time.

Hakazuki (2009-12-19)

need it a windows xp sp?

PatrickManning (2009-12-21)

keeps crashing in the part where im supposed to take the scarab or something. this sucks

battle21 (2009-12-21)

if you need to activate it, find the crack in gamecopyworld and replace the .exe file with the crack and play!

barker279 (2009-12-23)

Is this version ripped or is it the full version?

snakku (2009-12-23)

i managed to get halo to run only to run into the windows live activation prob ... as soon as halo loads , a windows live message pops up and i have to input my email , password and then the cd key .. i tried using the activation workaround cause i dont have a product key .. but i couldnt get it to work ..anyone knows how to help? lol

battle21 (2009-12-24)

dopeman help i registered at windows live and i have windwos live but when i click run on xp halo 2 because im using xp the game freezes at the halo 2 loading screen. Help!!!when i first ran it an xbox live screen appears and it says it needs an xbox controller.

battle21 (2009-12-24)

dopeman next time please upload the full version not the rip!!!!upload the full version as an iso file because i hate rips!!!!

Taught (2009-12-30)

Is this the full rip/complete version of the game?

RAND0L (2010-01-13)

Damn! people who keep asking if its a rip or full! ITS A FUCKN RIP IT SAYS IN THE TITLE

Metaldevil666 (2010-01-20)

I did what the discription sayd... couldnt find some files but they didnt seem to matter.
point is, I can play.. but only for 3 lvls before I have to enter a product key.. wtf???
where can I get a friggn product key???

EagleDig (2010-01-25)

When I run Halo2, he start in 640x480px and after 10 sec, He crash !!

jake12061 (2010-01-28)

Wait... why do windoes live pop up when starting the game asking for a key?

drivven51 (2010-02-02)

ok this torrent seems to be the most dificult torrent ive ever come across to..anyone agree?
well id much appreciate it if someone would email me at [email protected],
so i can get the detailed imfo on how to get this to work!
ive read through all of the comments, but they dont enough time to make them easier..

abdulwadoodfaiz (2010-02-06)

Help needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guys, the create-online-ID screen is the only thing promoted after I started the game. I followed all the steps. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

Robot23456 (2010-02-06)

How do you get this to work under Windows 7 64-bit? It demands activation.

superman101 (2010-02-19)

Installation went fine but just like others I've reached the point where it asks me to activate my game... interestingly enough it was after the first mission, not the Gravemind one. I haven't tried the various fixes yet but I'll report back after I do. Thanks 420dopeman for the upload.

Brian1454 (2010-02-19)

TO ALL THE PEOPLE WITH WINDOWS 7:
Most versions of windows 7 have a 'compatibility mode'.
using this mode makes you run the game in windows vista,xp or even windows 95 mode!
so most old games just work on windows 7!
downloading now

GodIsTheWay2012 (2010-02-19)

Look download the activation fix and do what it say but for win 7 and vista u have to have the permission to delet tha mf.dll file so this site will help u

then u Copy mf.dll file from SYSMTE32 folder and paste in ur windows system32 folder.
Again copy mf.dll from FOR HALO 2 FOLDER and paste that in your halo 2 installation folder.
and then u remove the MFPlat.dll file from the main directory called Halo 2 but this is for win 7 and vista only
have fun win 7 and vista users
If it worked PLz thank me. ;)

superman101 (2010-02-20)

UPDATE FROM PREVIOUS POST

The very first comment for this torrent links you to a permanent fix for the activation error. I downloaded it and that solved my problem...XP users should do the same. It might not work for Vista and Win 7 users but it's still worth a shot.
@GodIsTheWay2012
You're right, and although I knew that before your statement I'll thank you anyway. Thanks.

superman101 (2010-02-20)

READ THIS IS YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE!!!!
Along with my first two comments, I found a solution for all XP users. If you're having the activation error, get the permanent fix via the first comment for this torrent. If you're having issues with the game asking you for the disk, check this out:

This will fix that problem but you'll need to make a batch file for it to work. Follow markxing and his instructions in the comment section after following the instructions in the torrent. That will solve the 'insert disk' problem.
I can't thank dopeman and everyone else enough for making this game possible on XP. It's a headache every now n then but in my opinion it's worth it. THANKS!!!

GodIsTheWay2012 (2010-02-22)

HELP!!!!! When the big alien plane finished teleporting ,in the beginning, my computer FREEZES.

I'd guess it's your hardware. Are you sure you meet the requirements and if so, is everything updated (drivers etc)??

dopeless (2010-02-22)

Im getting this error "This application has failed to start becasue d3dx9_31.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."
when i try to run the halo2 application in the halo 2 file. Can some one help me resolve this?

Hyfax001 (2010-02-23)

Thank you, Dopeman. Ive been waiting for a good version of Halo 2 SP, and i definately found it. btw people i am running Vista and was not able to activate. The way i fixed it was using the batch files that let you play the maps. Look for the alternate way to play the maps in the comment from 420dopeman on the second page of comments. Use that if you have been having troubles with activation on Vista ^^ enjoy

markveekie (2010-02-25)

fjk2s (2010-03-02)

ya, quick download...but how do I use it for XP, I already have the xlive (better version) and when i click on the vcredit.msi file, it just gathers information then quits. Am I suppose to do something with the zip file? Because when I click on the haloxp.bat, a cmd window pops up then goes away

GodIsTheWay2012 (2010-03-04)

But i even played Call Of Duty 4 on it and it worked great.
So I don't think it's my hardware

nobody960814 (2010-03-05)

After the cutscene when I drop the bomb into a ship, the game quits to the main menu and says that I can only play that far. Does anyone know what's wrong?

totlmstr (2010-03-07)

Is it just me, or is this the worst waste of time I had on downloading a torrent? There are too many problems, and the files need to be updated badly.
Besides, I can't get mine to work on Vista, even though pages 37-39 are very helpful.

To Make this Work for Vista read Below:
1. Download Dopemans Halo 2 activation fix.
2. Follow the instructions on it and it WILL work for vista
3. Most of the time, you will recieve the message "You need permission to perform this action" when you try to put the mf.dll into the System 32 folder, to bypass this just follow instructions on
Worked for me when I did both of them, just to be safe.
Didnt work on my Vista 64 bit version, but succesfully runs on my Vista 32 bit.
Try it out and reply, Good Luck

IceHunter (2010-03-17)

Hi Dopeman! I downloaded the game and i did everythig like you wrote in the notes. But when i start with halo2.exe it says that the file d3dx9_31.dll is missing..... PLs help me :)

IceHunter (2010-03-17)

hey! it's me again. I fixed that problem. and when it's starting a screen says:
" Initialization failed. Either insufficient system resources were found to run the game, or game data is missing or damaged. Reinstalling the game may fix this problem."
I'm realy confused. Can someone help me? My email ( also msn) is [email protected]
I'm italian so i'm sorry if my english is bad. hope answers, please.

paver (2010-04-06)

Thanks man! didnt think i would get a reply

CopyGamer (2010-04-07)

I don't know whats wrong with those guys that are saying that Dompeman is a faggot or whatever. BE happy that he put this game on TPB and have a little respect then, if you would be a pro in Halo you would have the original game and not a ripped one so calm down.

mrvain32 (2010-04-25)

Initially had doubts but it works beautifully without a glitch. I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
For those who have problem. Just follow what dopeman has instructed.
1) Unrar Halo2
2) Install "XLive redist.." & "vcredist.."
3) Delete "dwmapi.dll" & run "halo2.exe"
For dumb ones who couldn't see halo2.exe : pls go into folder options & uncheck hide extensions for known file type !
Thanks a lot dopeman.

Well it really depends on what graphics card your talking about, but considering it's only a 96mb card, my answer is no, probably not. And if it does, not very well.

dude its asking for a product key what the hell am i suppose to do if anyone can tell me what to do it would be very helpfull and dont tell me to just type 11111111111111111111111111 in the box it doesnt work

vrockx25 (2010-05-06)

when u create an online account with "games for windows live" it asks for a key (first it tells that it will minimize game, then asks key ,etc.).
but when u create an offline or local account in games for windows live, it doesn't ask for anything except what name you want for urself
I suggest u don't use the provided xliveredist
and download latest "games for windows live"
from microsoft. install it after installing halo
Then run halo, sign out if u have an existing account(profile). then create a new profile
but this time just scroll below of the documentation it shows u and there should be a "Create local profile"(written in BLUE). just click on that, enter your name ,click ok
ur offline account shud be done . you can now save games, it wont ask for key.
But after 3rd level it will ask for activation
.then u shud use the crack this torrent provides
and then u can play all the levels.

sentientphil (2010-05-08)

vrockx025's guide doesn't make any sense.

Shippou120 (2010-06-20)

Does anyone at all have a fix for the Vista activation error after the first mission? I'd like to be able to play the entire game.

ckrules23 (2010-06-24)

does it run on windows 7 64bit

fynriz (2010-07-01)

hey guess what...works fine just fine on windows 7. you might have to tinker a bit, but if you can't do that you're in the wrong place.

piratedamian (2010-07-02)

If it works on Vista, it will work on 7 people.

ruben7076 (2010-07-04)

This works with windows 7 64bit, you only have to remove dwmapi.dll and install the files in the 'INSTALL THESE FIRST' folder. THIS DO WORK WITH WINDOWS 7 64BIT.

louisye (2010-07-04)

i followed the instruction and it still doesn't work. it says i need to activate something... help! xp!

OwNeR_oF_ShiT (2010-07-05)

To all the dumpshits that dont know a thing this works for Windows 7 100%. Just run the game as Windows Vista on Properties and it will start installing with no problem. Thank you.

OwNeR_oF_ShiT (2010-07-05)

Or you can use which helps also... and people must chill a bit...

bibo116 (2010-07-30)

Toumbid (2010-08-05)

There's is a problem thought with mine. I installed the game properly and etc but after in the 7th stage where you're betrayed by Tartarus, at the next level when it loads it says that it needs a #1 or #2 disk. What's wrong? I had Halo 2 on my Xbox and I know that it isn't the last level and it seems that some files are missing. Please help!!

yuvanz (2010-08-07)

dude what contry are you form?(no offence)
Because when i stared downloading it was 300kb/s after 50% it was 30kb/s what the hell is wrong

Toumbid (2010-08-10)

well, it actually says "please insert original Halo CD" so if anyone can help me or at least knows a thing about it, be my guest.

abdulwadoodfaiz (2010-08-10)

Works perfect on both Vista and XP. All hail. Thanks a bunch.

celtic66 (2010-08-15)

MaxMouseG (2010-08-21)

Oh lord another retarded torrent from dopeman.
God dude you suck. Stop uploading torrents. Doesn't work worth of shit.
" tirthraaj at 2010-07-13 00:47 CET:
buy the game you poor noobs"
Why are you on pirate bay?

songking (2010-08-27)

i got halo 2 for pc. I have xp so it didnt work. When i tried to install this it told me that i have a newer version of the install on my system and to remove it before i can continue.
I have no idea where that install is. I have deleted everything that looks like halo 2. What do i do?

Halorocker92 (2010-09-06)

I don't know why people are saying it won't work with Windows 7, works fine with my version. If it's compatible with Vista, it's most likely compatible with Windows 7.

ravinaust (2010-09-06)

this is ravin i am new to downloading games in pirate.
I have win 7 64 bit. i have downloaded d3dx9_31.dll and extracted in system 32 folder as said but still it says ' d3dx9_31.dll is missing reinstalling may fix this problem'

EmilWick (2010-09-12)

I got this game workin charms! BUT.. after reachin like the third level of gamin it suddenly wanted a cdkey from me if I wanted to continue playing the rest of the game. Any1 got any good answers how to solve that?

B0rNP1rAt3 (2010-09-13)

WTF??
I followed all instructions, and I start the game up, play the first level and I'm all hyped up to finally play the story of Halo 2 and it says "Please register your game to continue" and brings me back to the main menu. Can someone tell me how to get past this??

h0wen (2010-09-13)

para todos los usuarios de windows 7: yo lo baje, y despues de batallar todo el dia, encontre la solucion. sigan las instrucciones que vienen en el torrent (instalen primero las 2 actualizaciones)
luego quiten el archivo MFPlatt.dll que viene dentro de la carpeta "Halo 2" y luego ejecuten el archivo "halo 2.exe" como administrador. eso me funciono a mi. suerte!

AznAssassin (2010-09-15)

thnx for this torrent. more seeds would be nice tho.

oGGu (2010-09-15)

Does NOT work on 32 bit vista home prerium (Aspire7720ZG).... It stop working at first mission's cutscene. What i need to do?

AznAssassin (2010-09-16)

ok Ive just wasted 3 Gb of my dl quota on this. The activation cracks dont work at all (because Ive tried everything in teh book to put the dll file into system32 and NO it does let me at all). Ive tried 2 cracks made by 2 different ppl. All dont work unless u have xp. VERY DISAPPOINTED. GREAT TORRENT...if u still have XP. (I finished the starting mission before the game cut me out due to no product key. And now I cant even activate an authentic product key because this is a directplay version with no registry!!!! GRRRRRRR)
IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 7 DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS!!!!!

AznAssassin (2010-09-16)

btw thnx dopeman! Great torrent but sadly its for xp users only :(

h0wen (2010-09-19)

like I said, this game DOES WORK WITH WINDOWS 7, you just need to calm down and try this first:
1) uninstall all LIVE applications (msn messenger, etc)
2) install both vcredist.msi and xliveredist.msi
3) remove MFPlat.dll from halo2 folder
4) double click on halo2.exe (NOT xp play halo.bat)
that's how I did make it work. I also tried 2 different cracks and didnt work. It didnt ask for any key or anything else. believe me, it worked.

west1n (2010-09-19)

19 hours! SEED POEPLE PLEASE!

west1n (2010-09-19)

since I have all of the halo games(halo 2 xbox disc broke) I am going to play them all in order for old times sake. That is if it ever finishes downloading!
SEEEEEEEEEDDDDD

bobkillingtim (2010-09-20)

READ THIS IS YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE!!!!
Along with my first two comments, I found a solution for all XP users. If you're having the activation error, get the permanent fix via the first comment for this torrent. If you're having issues with the game asking you for the disk, check this out:

This will fix that problem but you'll need to make a batch file for it to work. Follow markxing and his instructions in the comment section after following the instructions in the torrent. That will solve the 'insert disk' problem.
I can't thank dopeman and everyone else enough for making this game possible on XP. It's a headache every now n then but in my opinion it's worth it. THANKS!!!

magneonx (2010-09-21)

Excuse me I can admit this is a great download, it finished within a minutes.
This game doesnt work for me...
Alright this what happens,
The BAT file exe tells me that a specific DirectX9 program shit is missing, I've scanned on of the comments and find the cure. It works, not it finds for this BULLSHIT CRAP XINPUT1_3.dll I need it to run this game, what should I need tot do?
Need help... Pls thanks alot.
And next time anyways, I always have been not impressed with RIPS, really I am not a fanatic of that. Next time don't rip games. Just a suggestion peace. Great upload anyway, the only Halo 2 torrent I found so far that downloads fast, Thanks for the upload Dope!!! one thumbs up though...

tinygiant (2010-09-21)

Running Win 7 - followed all the directions, uninstalled all my LIVE stuff, got the installers from the torrent to run.
But when I run the game the Live Login screen (old version) comes up and asks for a serial key. Won't let me get past the live screen to actually play the game without a valid serial.
Suggestions?

sudhiraju (2010-09-23)

hey ..after i finisht the lvl in the library... and the brute pushes me in the hole ... i start loading for the next level.. and then it stops and sayes " please insert halo2 in you'r cdrom" or something like that.... can anyone help pls ?? pleez reply

spartan22 (2010-09-25)

works on windows 7 64 bit!!!
1) remove MFPlat.dll and dwmapi.dll from halo2 folder
2) uninstall all LIVE applications (msn messenger, etc)
3) install both vcredist.msi and xliveredist.msi
4) click on halo2.exe (run as admin) (NOT xp play halo.bat)
5) create a new live profile, then go back and click on campaign

SITttt (2010-10-09)

Hey, GREAT TORRENT! worked for me perfectly. if you can't get it to work here a quick intruction guide
1. download it
2.extract the files to your desktop
3.download the crack that is in the first comment of this torrent.
4. do what intsructions of the crack say but past the Halo 2 crack in the Halo 2 folder that you extracted.
5. scroll tot he bottom of the Halo 2 folder and click on the "XP PLAY HALO 2.bat" icon
6. play Halo 2!
ps. online is not supported as there is no cd key in this torrent. if you find a good working key, then comment with a link :D
Thank you,
SITttt

failxpos (2010-10-30)

For all those who apply dopeman / crebji fix and they still get an activation key request, you need to update Gaming Live. Just download the gaming live app from microshit (the messenger looking one)

Wackycrashbandicoot922 (2010-11-22)

I'd love to search through 44 pages of Comments, but my problem is when I try to start it, after I execute XP PLAY HALO 2.bat, I get this error message: "Initialization failed. Either incufficient system resources were found to run the game, or game data is missing or damaged. Reinstalling the game mat fix this problem." My DX is up to date, I have used both the MF.dll's, xlive redist is installed. any suggestions will help big time, thanks guys.

Wackycrashbandicoot922 (2010-11-22)

I'd love to go through 44 pages of comments, but it's tiring. My game has an error after excecuting XP PLAY HALO 2.bat. "Initialization failed. you might have insufficiant system resources to run the game" or something close to that, all the required programs are up to date.

Wackycrashbandicoot922 (2010-11-22)

Oops, sorry. Disregard that last comment, it is the same, but I couldn't be bothered to retype the whole thing when I thought it didn't submit. Sorry.

CardingtonLZF (2010-11-27)

Gotzz (2011-01-09)

For assistance with 'crashes' or error messages/screen u can send to [email protected] - please attach the following. 1: a screen shot/print screen of the folder the game is located in (and all contents) 2: screen shot/print screen of the error message. 3: your OS (xp, xp64, vista, vista 64, 7, or 7 64) 4: What services pack you have.

bobby667788 (2011-01-09)

Gotzz (2011-01-10)

ok first off with the error message u are getting ive come across it befor - tho i am a windows 7 user. a question that i get every time i read what you say - xp with sp2? are you useing xp x64bit? if you are that may be the issue and needs to be run in compatability mode.

bobby667788 (2011-01-10)

Gotzz i have pentium 4 xp sp2 128mb intel graphics
1gb of ram dx9.0c please tell me the steps of
compatability mode i will understand better that way thank you

Gotzz (2011-01-10)

did a bit of reasearch with other people having the same problem - most of the people who they cant run have a 128mb or less intergated card (witch u have). I think this more your computer cant run it. try this will tell your if you can play or not. If you DO NOT have the shader 2.0 try this Fare warning on this I HAVE NOT USED/TRYED this software use at your own risk.

bobby667788 (2011-01-10)

gaiaman554 (2011-01-17)

Nicksta94 (2011-01-25)

First off, thanks for the download. The first two levels ran flawlessly but I have stumbled into a problem. When I try and load the next level "Outskirts" It comes up with the error message "Sorry, You have to activate this product before continuing the game. Please close the game and re-insert the disc to reach the activation menu." Help please? I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Sw33tVengeanz (2011-01-28)

"Here is the fix for the activation request after level 1. Someone be kind enough to copy and paste this info to the next page of comments when it rolls around.

Thanks to ben_high for finding this, and to dopeman for uploading. Yes, i know this is fix for xp but i'm running windows 7 and it fixed the request for activation after the 3rd level and probably the rest of the game.
To fix, it says you have to copy two .dll files to Halo 2 install directory and to System 32. However, Windows 7 did not let me replace the .dll in system 32, only keep both files and have one with (2) in front. I ran Halo2.exe as administrator. for the first time it did the Bungie intro animation and let me advance past the 3rd level perfectly.
Great torrent!

swim21 (2011-02-25)

uhhh yea how do u remove that dwmap.dll file from the game file??

CrazyAaron84 (2011-02-25)

@swim21 um... did you right click? lmao
anyways lol
that work around worked good, i noticed it actually ran smoother too

works for xp and vista also
just make sure you take ownershop of the mf.dll file in system32 and remember to set it so you have full control over the file :)
also want to mention that the file is needed for windows media player, so if you use that program or use the firefox plugin for it, you might want to make sure you back up that file beforehand :)

yoshey (2011-03-02)

yesss

css2010a (2011-04-17)

Delete MFPlat.dll
For Vista and 7 users.
Worked for me.

FuRrY321 (2011-04-19)

@Gnollface
Should be able to just delete the unRAR'd folder. Judging by the instructions, and Dopeman's motto, "Install Nothing, Play Everything", it shouldn't be in Add or Remove Programs anyway.

trentBurton (2011-04-19)

this sucks!!!! There are a lot of who wrote delete this, delete that, but still want product key!!!
I don´t have any!! So stop fucking me about that product key!!
I´ll try another torrent

cookiefapper1337 (2011-04-19)

Okay...so i don't know what i'm doing wrong but, when i play the game (on the map outskirts Or something) it says you have to register you're product enter CD-Key or something....Help
Windows 7 home premium 64-bit

FuRrY321 (2011-04-20)

So far so good, downloaded and seeding. Haven't actually gotten past the first map yet, so nothing about a product key. Want to finish Halo: CE again first before playing this, though, so I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Pls help...!!!! dying to play this!!!!!

FuRrY321 (2011-04-24)

Nope, no dice. Damn. After the first mission, right after the cutscene of them going down to Earth, boom, message saying I need to activate it.
You know, I may just end up buying it for the multiplayer and lack of frustration getting cracks 'n' such to work.

derkevevin (2011-05-14)

Doesnt work 4 me
im on win7 64bit
this is the error i get:
The ordinal 126 could not be located in the dynamic link library dwmapi.dll.
sounds like bullshit 4 me but anyways, i dont think its dopemans fault, maybe it is, but i have no idea whats wrong, ima just try another one for now.

f4ll3n4ng3l (2011-05-17)

first of all tyvm to dopeman and tyvm to seeders :)
a lot of people seem to be runnin into problems, i just wanna know pre-emptively is there an activation problem for windows vista/7? if so how can it be fixed?

anaximandro (2011-05-19)

Does anybody knows if that is the full version or if it request the 2nd CD???
Answer please!!

f4ll3n4ng3l (2011-05-25)

for vista/windows 7

spartin5 (2011-06-04)

For those who are using vista and problem with registration follow these steps and you will get it work :
--->download the activation crack provided by dopeman.
---->copy the MF.dll file from crack folder to halo 2 installation folder and replace it.
----->Remove "dwmapi.dll" and "MFPlat.dll" from
installation folder.
This will work 100% .

Kurogane35 (2011-07-02)

How do i reach the activation page?

thetenfold (2011-07-09)

Not working for me on xp... I tried the crack and all but I get this screen every time.
"Can't sign in because your product key is not valid. Please enter a valid product key."
I tried a few different keys listed in the comments but I still get this. How can I play??

thetenfold (2011-07-09)

Ok I figured it out.
HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED A LIVE PRODUCT KEY:
1) Create a new live profile
2) A window will pop up. Scroll to the bottom, and click a blue link called Create an offline profile (can't remember exact text).
3) Follow instructions. No product key needed.

zimsmoke (2011-07-14)

Does not work. Asks for activation after the first chapter of the game.
Which you might be able to fix somehow. But honestly at this point. I tasted the game. it's a crap dumbed down slower feeling sluggish fps than the last halo. And my desire to see the halo story movie isn't enough to continue trying to make this PIECE OF SHIT work.
I could just buy it. But really. fuck halo 2. fuck microsoft as well.

GigaOrion (2011-07-20)

Fuck you for uploading shit you can't even play. all you can do is play the first chapter, nothing else and there is no way to do so. Don't waste your time downloading this.

SpoOkkkkk (2011-07-26)

torrentreview (2011-09-05)

I'm here to try out torrents and feedback on them.
For me & from some that commented, the first stage could only be completed & the activation nag would come in.
You can try it would be more direct, but won't work for some, as Vista & 7 would not allow the file to be overwritten.
You can then try it would be more complicated, but should be able to work.
This is a good torrent, thanks dopeman for making the effort.

TyMod (2011-09-10)

Download my version. No it will not work on XP. Why? Because this one will. But it works great on Windows 7. Please read the comments though if you have a 32 bit computer. It will save you and me ALOT of time.

TyMod (2011-10-17)

just get my torrent. The reason his doesnt work it a crack needed to play the game is missing... thats why it only works on XP.

Tecness2 (2011-10-28)

For all of you who complain about it not working on windows 7. IT SAYS IT WORKS ON WINDOWS XP AND WINDOWS VISTA. In that list, I do NOT see windows 7. So I doubt it will work on windows 7, unless you aren't a total noob (which most of you are) and can actually modify a few things to get it to work on windows 7. Thank you and have a nice day.

gznster (2011-10-29)

Tecness2 you douche, window 7 wasn't even out yet when this game was released. Of course he didn't place window 7 there of coz. =_=

yonigga123 (2011-11-05)

PLS SEE THIS halo 2 should work on xp FULLY
1)Download this torrent.If Halo 2 works till the level "Quarantine Zone",skip step 2.
2)Go to the following site and follow instructions.Halo 2 SHOULD work till the level "Quarantine Zone".
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/3728782/
3)1st and foremost, I want to say that follow MY instructions in this step.DO NOT FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN ON THE SITE AS DOPEMAN'S TORRENT IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. :
1)Go to the following site and download torrent.

2)copy WowMon.dll and Loaderplus.exe into your Halo 2 directory (same place
as wow.dll and loader.exe)
3)Right click "XP PLAY HALO 2" and click "Edit".You should see notepad in which things like "echo off" are written.
4)In the notepad,replace the words "Loader.exe" with the words "loaderplus.exe".
AFTER THIS ENTIRE HALO 2 SHOULD WORK. IF IT DOESNT UR PC IS HOPELESS.

yonigga123 (2011-11-05)

also, PLEASE SAY IF MY TRICK WORKED. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
