.... Microsoft's OS wasn't strong enough for Halo 2, and neither were most computers. Now is the perfect time for H2V, no earlier.

wtf? The Xbox ran on a modified Windows 2000 OS. Most computers weren't powerful enough to run Halo 2? I guess that explains why Half-Life 2 PC was released around the same time as Halo 2 on the Xbox.

Windows XP is fine for Halo 2, Microsoft just wants people to move over to Windows Vista.


Excuse me if that was wrong, but I also don't believe that most computers/graphics cards could run it at the time - not necessarily in terms of what they could do, but more in terms of how many people out there could do it.
Vista's release has prompted people to get better computers or update their old ones, allowing a wider potential pool of buyers.

Actualy, I wouldn't be surprised if alot of people get new hardware just to run Vista. As for just to run H2V, there may be a few Halo freeks who do.

How I would love to rant about this, but Bungie is right, they make their own rules, and there morally correct...although I don't understand the removal of the Halo 2 Vista page, seeing as its still their game.

Cake>Pie!
Hey you saw my sig! :)
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.

Hmm, I would have to comment that Achronus showing up, (somebody who works for Bungie) kind of annihilates the theory that Bungie has abandoned it's PC fans, I'll admit, I don't like some of the changes either, but at least were still free to discuss and make complaints. Some game forums don't even allow that.

Yes, but during the development of Halo PC we weren't completely occupied with developing a new console game. This time, the timing is simply such that we must pick our battles, and we're not going to make a crappy Halo 2 Vista site that others will do better. Our time should be directed to Halo 3, as it has been.

They didn't work on Halo PC either, Gearbox did.


But You still decided to make a Halo (1) PC page? A game that is way past its prime, and probably won't sell as well as Halo 2 for Vista? Err... I'm not sure if that makes any sense. How are people suppose to know about the game if you don't even have a page for it? You choose to have a Halo 1 PC, a game that's been out for almost three years, but you choose not to have one for a game that's coming out in a few months? I can't find the link to the Microsoft page on Bungie.net. And I wounld't expect Microsoft to post "weekly updates" about Halo 2 Vista on the MGS site. So it's like, do you want this game to sell? I realize that you won't be getting too much cash from it, but come on, do it for your fans at least.

I have a feeling that they eventually will make a page for H2V, but only later, after either it is released or after Halo 3 is released. Does Hired Gun have a good site though? Because Halo PC's project site basically just links to Gearbox. I imagine that if there was no solid H2V-only site to link to, it'd take a lot longer to get an H2V section in the Projects page.

But like I said, I think it'll come eventually. They did say that the section was only excluded "for the time being."

I liked the name "The Maw" and I don't even play Halo on pc or frequent the forum.

Why the hell are they just giving you buck-passing nonsense? This is THEIR website. If they wanted to preserve the strong Halo on PC community they had here it was well within their power. They have simply chosen not to. It seems they want you guys out.

NO THEY DONT!! >_<

they just whant too change things around a bit... its like a sniper fight, you win some, you lose some... i preffer winning but... as good of a sniper i am i know that the one player who fancies himself as SUPERMEGA can kill me in one or two shots (he always hits head and never misses without aim bot)

that is my mediphor right there... I reprisent the forum... SUPERMEGA represents bungie... we are cool and we like the old style.
but bungie can always blow our head off, and let us respawn too a new place. take the good with the bad, and for God sakes drink a BEEr if your so paranoid about a name... dont get me wrong i liked the maw, but still i know that theyll one day bring that name back, or change it too some cooler level, like sidewinder
