You may need to skip the infamous level 12, but with these files you can easily do so. #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 ansewring 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. NOW THE WORKAROUND DESCRIPTION: I'm not the original author of these workaround files. credits go to 'someone' They work fine, follow the intsructions carefully, you will play all the maps. Except of course level 12. You may need to just skip it. Basically, the files will rename your maps. You then just select your capmaign as the first 'heretic' each time you choose campaign in the in game menu. That campaign 'heretic' will actaully load as the first map of the 3 you're wishing to play. Read the enclosed intsructions carefully. greetz. dopeman Ascii by: GMSi 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 # "Install Nothing, Play Everything." # 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

ive heard some rumors that the PC version of Halo 2 is pretty bad? is it true`? or will it be worth the while to download it.... of course to save time.. download Dopeman release;) but... is the game any good?

techmannie (2007-07-02)

THESE ARE GREAT!!! It s like cheating. I love to cheat. You can play any map ANTIME. NiCe maTe.

blaffe (2007-07-02)

ive never really played a sci-fi game.. guess this one is not a good start... who knows what will happen.. i maybe love the genre o probaly not ...

blaffe (2007-07-02)

gosh.. need to check my spelling :(

MrStabby (2007-07-03)

I found out a better solution,
1. Place the 32kb XP patch/Wow loader MF.dll in C:\Windows\System32
2. Replace the MF.dll in your Halo2 folder with the 4kb Razor1911 crack.
3. Win.
The combo works wonders for me :)

sadrax (2007-07-03)

Hey guys i dont get it! if i want to play lvl 13 then i must start lvl 10?
but before i must start the batch file and when im in the select for level menu i must push "ENTER" on the batch file or what`???
or i just have to start batch file then select lvl 10 and i will play autom. lvl 13`?
THNX

crebban (2007-07-04)

great fix. but how the h*ll are u supposed to know what number the level your on has? They just have names ^^ Pls help? ;D

crebban (2007-07-04)

yeah, i get that part. BUT how do i know WHAT level "level 13" is? Like the name of it.

sadrax (2007-07-05)

you should really count it from first level to 12(the max of permanent fix)

sadrax (2007-07-05)

WHY DIDNT U SAY THAT EARLYER??????????????????? I THINK I love u! (not in a gay way lol)

sadrax (2007-07-05)

jup jup
Now i have a problem that has made me think o do something wrong :
I load the 13-14-15 batch file then i load the in game the Heretic map and it like loads but then it ends throws me out like finito to the desktop and nothing no new map.
Ive tryed the thing with the 4-5-6 batch and nothing happens .. why is that?
Ps im an XP user

sadrax (2007-07-05)

Another thing i thought i screwd something up but then i RE- extracted it cause it urs RIP version and tryed to do the same thing (Installed the permanent fix and intalled the batch files) and loaded the batch 13-14-15 and then in game the heretic map and Still nothing happens .... what do i do wrong?

I just finnished lvl 14 but when its loading to lvl 15 it just starts on lvl 2 or something. ive tried to replace the map files but it dosent work. plz help me i want to finnish halo 2:=)

Xar0n (2007-07-08)

Ive found out that if i start by selecting lvl 3 it starts lvl 15 but then it says "insert youre original halo 2 cd". What should I do!?

toco123 (2007-07-14)

thanks dopeman... for your fix... then the game... then a workaround!!!

lalala1 (2007-07-22)

Alternatively, if you are just having problems with level 12 asking for the DVD (or want to go back and play it, download and run microsofts Process Monitor while the level is loading. Somehow this causes the level to load correctly on most machines (alright my sample is 2...mine and the poster on some forum)--perhaps due to the overhead lagging the DVD check until it times out.

And don't forget to download the other fix for the activation nag (if u have it).

jygi-.- (2007-08-07)

PLS DOPEMAN, COULD YOU TELL ME HOW CAN I PLAY THE LEVEL 12,13,14,15 ETC. I DONT GET THE .BAT FILE THINGY :( please help

ThaMaSTAR (2007-08-17)

sujit (2007-09-15)

DamienHell (2007-10-04)

It doesn't work for me. I run the 4,5,6 batch file and leave it up. Its in halo 2/maps, I run the game and load heretic but it just loads heretic!

DamienHell (2007-10-04)

I got it to work but the files don't open what they say they do. 4 opens Cross-Purposes I havent had a chance to open 5 or 6 though and none of them open 4 (at least not on the heracy map)

downloader2755 (2007-10-15)

i only get the heretic and armor level to work
how do i get they other levels???????

tyson_eng (2007-10-20)

thx, it works 100% for me and I run vista. so it works on vista to.

chimpakawanzelu (2007-12-02)

Dopeman: you rule!! - thank you
"Someone": thank you as well - you f'n rule too.
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!!

Xrick (2008-01-03)

Please dopeman, can you make the Halo 2 Patches? The only bad things with reinstalled games is that you can't patch 'em.

angryalpaca (2008-07-30)

The Process Monitor works like a dream. Download it, run it, select level 12, and wait for a veeeery long load

sallad101 (2008-08-12)

Hey dopeman thanks a bunch I've played some levels and its cool BUT PLEASE ! I really want to play level 4_5_6 and the workaround doesn't seem to work for them.... not by selecting the level nor trying to play straight through from level one ? cold you fix the bat. file and reup ?
Big Fan thanks again for all your ard work.... we are all lucky to have peeps like you.

AR5T7 (2008-09-02)

AlthosSilver (2008-12-17)

Doesnt work. Ive done exactly, word for word and then some for getting it work, followed to directions completely. there is something missing here, because others have had it work. So either they are nothing more than ghost comments placed by dopeman to make himself look good or this torrent is corrupt

Abhineo (2009-06-19)

He Dopman..Thanks for PC halo 2 but everytime asking for the key and windows live registration. I tried by giving activation patch as well but not working... pls help...

TayZZ (2009-10-20)

I used this fix and it kinda worked... I am using Vista 64-bit. I ran the first batch file (play 4, 5, and 6). Then I started the game, then I minimized the game and pressed enter on the batch file. Then i opened Halo 2 back up. I click to play Heretic like the description says and it puts me on the 'Oracle' mission to escape the infested labs!! WTF, how do I just get to the outskirts mission?

icmruggs (2009-10-23)

Thanks! This torrent worked as described. ( Winxp with SVC pk2 on a newer mid-high end computer). I tried your other "fix" but had no luck. I am grateful for you getting this workaround uploaded. I would have bought this game if it didn't require an OS 'upgrade'...Thanks again!

talk2abk (2010-12-29)

thanks a lot. This works. Great idea!
