Sometimes the game would drop FPS, mainly during Halo 2 SP when playing with Anniversary graphics
Game will sometimes say that there are corrupted files and will not enable EAC. Simply restart the game
Balance does not exist. Your team will either be on winning or loosing side less than minute after the match starts. Sometimes you will enter unbalanced match (like 2 vs 4) or the game will not allow you to join match you entered causing with temporary ban for quitting. Looking for any games outside 4 vs 4 is impossible, at least for Europeans (my latency is too high to attempt to join servers outside my region)
Do not attempt Halo 2 campaign with GPU that have less than 8 GB of VRAM, cause this campaign suffers for memory leaks under Linux. My GPU is using nearly all of my VRAM when playing it (12 GB), switching to classic graphics improves performance a lot, but when attempted to play on my laptop with GTX 1650 it simply wouldn't load due to this issue
Audio crackles after 3-4th cutscene in story mode. It only happens in story mode
Game at random will drop FPS to unplayable level. It only affects gameplay since xrays, fatalities etc are always running as intended max (30) fps
The only problem with MP is that only very experienced players are running it so i doubt you will be able to unlock MP only unlockables (revenenat skins)
If you can then buy it on xbox/ps since PC port is much from being good. FPS drops will happen at random and you will have to either quit match or finish it with very low FPS (if this happens during online or Corrupted Shinnok then you are f....) Audio crakling during story mode (that also spawns FPS drop) makes this mode virtually unplayable for most players since you would have to leave the game after 1-2 chapters to make sure you won't be affected by this.
Game requires tinkering to launch it and even after it you can get softlocked, by CTD's like me on Tatooine (over 12h of game)
gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -r 60 -f %command%
Using fullscreen mode makes game unplayable since any FMV will cause the game to Alt-Tab and this causes the game to create infinite loop of maximizing and minimalazing
Game will after few minutes of playing drop FPS to sub 30
Game runned smoothly excluding slow down, but when reached Tatooine the game would crash after less than a minute of playing after leaving Anchorhead
