Sorry if some of you answered these but i didnt feel like reading through them all, First off this game will not be cross platform, The first vista game to be cross platform is going to be shadowrun. You can check that at @shadowrun.com. Secondly i was worried about the gold/live membership if you already own an XBL account then you dont have to pay for one on vista. Im also interested in matchmaking due to the fact that you will be able to have Dedicated servers. All the problems you experienced on xbox with the standby and whatnot should not be there. Looking forward to busting out the -blam!- stick soon..

Um no? Microsoft wants vista to be marketed to the gamers. They wouldn't put such a stupid restriction on that brand since it is basically free marketing, it is what identifies windows as a gaming platform and that game is for windows. They don't have a restriction on the xbox bar for all xbox games other than it has to be for the xbox, obviously, and this won't be much different.

Mat Parker 116:

Everything you said is on the lines of what I see, and I agree with what you say.

You are the only person on this forum I have seen that knows whats going on.

Mat Parker 116, you are such a retard. Your source of information is a secondary source. They have no official affiliation with Bungie, so why would you go by what a random website has to say?
Contradict much?

By the way, many trusted and official sources have confirmed what the Joystiq article has stated. Nice try, though. Maybe you'll think before calling other people retards, retard.

Oh, yeah. Awesome titles like Minesweeper and Solitaire. How about that Insaniquarium Deluxe, eh?

I'm joking with you, but I'm not totally sure if your figure is accurate. 70%? I guess I'm one of them. Although I'm more PC gamer than Xbox fanboi. :)

It's already useful on Xbox Live. Why? Because you need it to play games online.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

I just hope nVidia gets their drivers straight before then, because I will be playing H2V on my GeForce 7 Series card.

I can't complain about the Live Anywhere thing, I can just get Silver until I can afford Gold, because I intend to do cross platform play with games such as Unreal Tournament 3 and Shadowrun. So all in all, I suggest that the complainers stop complaining (except for you Xbox Live players, I see what you mean) and accept what is given to you. Think this way, this game could have never been ported at all. Some of us have been looking forward to it in years.

As for Halo 3 on the PC, I could see it happening in about a year and a half. Seeing that the 360's infrastructure is so similar to a PC's it will be easier to make a good port. They've already got the start with Windows Live Anywhere.

Master Kim:

"Contradict much?"

People change.

"By the way, many trusted and official sources have confirmed what the Joystiq article has stated."

The developer is the first logical and source, also official.
You can listen to others if you want, but you will be among the billions that speculate and assume in the world. That would not suprize me.

The irony here is this person advertising his own site with no apparently official affiliations whatsoever, giving sparse minimum information about the game it's talking about and spouting a few lines of self-declared opinion.

Kolusion, Bungie has no duty to provide XP support. It's like wanting, I don't know, people wanting Company of Heros to have Wii compatibility, or Super Smash Brothers to have PSP compatibility. They don't because they a: work better in the medium it's developed for and/OR b: a marketing tactic.

But, even if it IS a marketing tactic by them, so what? By not producing H2V for XP or Win2000 or whatever, Microsoft will lose out on massive sales in order to move a tiny fraction of the Vista OS. Why are you so concerned about Microsoft and Bungie shooting themseslves in the foot? Are you secretly pro-Microsoft and hate to see them losing money?

In any case, there's not much point in talking about it now. Hired Gun isn't going to overhaul the game to make it backwards compatible a couple of months before the tentative release date (see, this IS on topic) since it'd so much time to the schedule (probably even a few days extra, which is no good because the fanboys WANT IT NOW!!! obviously). So go away.


However, you can reserve the right to come back and laugh maniacally if any version of H2XP EVER gets released.

I am advertising my site, but I am not speaking up as though I am Bungie.

Everything I put on my website when talking about Halo 2 Vista will be stated as a beleif or opinion. The information not stated as my beleif or opinion can be checked with the information on the official Halo 2 Vista website.
The information I write about Halo 2 Vista is sourced only from bungie.net, and is re-written by me; cutting out the ammount of bull -blam!-:

"Are you secretly pro-Microsoft and hate to see them losing money?"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That was a good one!

"However, you can reserve the right to come back and laugh maniacally if any version of H2XP EVER gets released."

Halo 2 Vista will be cracked to be ran on Windows 2000, and Windows XP, just like Doom 3 was cracked to run on Windows 98. In Doom 3's case though, cracked would be the wrong term, more, engineered.
Cracked can be used with Halo 2 Vista though, as I beleive Halo 2 Vista IS a marketting strategy.
Like I said on my website man, it doesn't use DirectX 10, it uses 9. There is no reason other than Windows Live for it to be on Vista only. Windows Live is also a marketting strategy. Buy anyway.

I have even declaired on halo2vista.com that I am going to give Apple Computer Inc. $25 when this happens, and I will.
