Their was a time when this was under a post. Simpler times; no Halo 3 Forum and no search. Simpler times. Happy about search though.

Well, of course. Bungie typically posts Halo 3 news in news stories entitled "Halo 2 Vista Update." So I totally see your point.

Beat the game on Legendary without dying? Can you say 'sleep deprivation'?

It's about time we were showed some care for. Maybe we could start getting more info about H2V?

  • 03.06.2007 7:22 PM PDT

What it is.

There is still more info that we could have been told...Possibly a confirmation on a release date, because right now April 24th is the best guess. It's not a bad update, but there could be better, and more.

LMAO!! He's right though, probably 90% of the viewers to this site are searching for more Halo 3 answers, be it Beta updates or anything.

No "New Halo game" will ever be the same without Bungie.

So wait, if I get Halo 2 vista achievements, will they show on my Xbox Live account?

  • 03.06.2007 10:39 PM PDT

Reach!

I haven't gotten Vista yet. You need a hella good computer if you want Vista to be worth any thing. Why yes your achievements will show up on your live account if you're signed in to Live on your Vista machine!

And they still don't confirm whether or not we will have to pay to play online.
Way to go, Bungie. Way to go.

good question. Yes, from what I have heard about Shadowrun from Major Nelson. But since Xbox and Vista players will not play each other, possibly not, or they will show as two different games (Halo 2 and Halo 2 Vista).

Here's something I wrote regarding the new maps coming soon for Halo 2:

Nice, but god I'm praying Halo 3 gets a map editor!

  • 03.07.2007 4:30 AM PDT

I'm probably twice your age, punk!

Oh, and say hi to your Mom.

Can we assume the same achievements are planned for Halo 3? I don't see myself purchasing Halo 2 Vista. I doubt my PC could run Vista and my carpal tunnel from my mouse and keyboard would probably put me in the hospital. I really wonder what the market for this will be with H3 coming out for the 360.

I just went out and bought a copy of Vista Ultimate purely for what will surely be a perfect Halo gem. I am much pleased with Halo 2 Vista.

Sounds pretty sweet, but I'm more of an Xbox 360 player. With the soon to be new addition of MP maps on Halo 2 for 360 users only, does that mean an update for it might allow for Achievements to be earned?

I hate dial up

Wow, Halo 2 will get achievements.

Well, I guess it was only a matter of time.
