im afraid im gonna have to confiscate your testicles.
What are you, the Cyber police? lol.
Yes, because you will be missing alot of things, besides, barely anyone plays on CE, and some of the maps have bugs and miss some things considering the makers arent professionals like the producers of Halo 2 Vista, just think how many times they check over a single little thing. They really want Halo 2 Vista to sell.
BTW, I didnt want to create a topic but others can read it, it sort of relates to this thread:
Why would you have to go out and buy a whole new computer to play a game, it would be a good game but soon you'll get bored of it and will collect dust on your desk or shelf or w/e.
Im starting to hate why you have to, I mean, cant the graphics just be down-graded like Halo PC? If you get Vista you'll get all the graphics, if you have ... for say a windows XP you'll get most of the graphics, and if you have something lower... then well dont count on a good game-play experience, I picked this out and this guy says it all in good words.
From another forum. I DID NOT WRITE THIS:
I was bored at work last night, and was reading through a couple gamer mags (PC Gamer and some generic-looking one, like "Computer Gamer" or something) and one had a tiny article about Halo 2: It's coming for PCs this fall, but will ONLY run on Vista.
So I'm wondering, what could Vista have that XP doesn't? It's either that or something as simple as Microsoft wanting to push Vista. But, if the latter is true, certainly Halo 2 doesn't have enough weight to push a Vista transition. Does Microsoft plan on launching or re-launching more titles with Vista-only support? I know Vista Ultimate will have enhancements for gaming (subscription services, tweaking, etc.) but as a general platform, I don't see what Vista will have that XP won't. If there's to be a DirectX 10, surely it will be released on XP as well.
I spanked Halo on the PC, but I can't play it on the Xbox. I can aim much better with a mouse than an Etch-A-Sketch (two knobs) and I think that's part of the reason Halo was a challenge. I've only seen my brother play part of one level (driving over a bridge toward a city) and it looked alright.
As far as the first one goes, I liked the levels/enemies, and the story wasn't great, but it was better than a lot of games (Doom 3, Far Cry). What I didn't like was the "wave" gameplay aspect - fight a bunch of enemies, rest (let your shield refill), and fight another bunch. I like to fight on my own terms, not a game's. And that one level - The Library, I think - where you follow the floating eye robot thingy - that was a [female dog]! The Covenant are cool, but the Flood were a pain in the arse. So I hope they don't come back for Halo 2.
I'm looking forward to playing Halo 2, but not so much that I will buy Vista. Unless 1) nobody online has any problems with it *AND* 2) I can test the final build for free (via p2p or a friend) *OR* get a legal demo somehow, like a Live CD (yeah, right!), make sure it works with everything I do, then I'm waiting for the first service pack. I bought XP Pro the day it came out, but couldn't use it - too buggy. Good thing I held onto it, slipstreamed Service Pack 1A into it - from there it was OK. Vista, I'll just wait - unless I come into an ungodly amount of money, in which case I may buy early.
