I'm aware Halo 2 Vista isnt out, but does anyone fear the consumer is going to reject this game due to it's Vista requirements and whatnot.

Halo PC at max during the day has about 2600 Players daily. I'm not old school enough, but how many players on average did HALO PC recieve when it first was released?

Besides the point, how many players do you think will be running around Halo 2 Vista the first couple of weeks? Will it increase over time due to people making the jump to Vista, or decrease over interest in newer better games on the PC or the XBOX(Halo 3).


As a guess for myself, I'd be suprised if this game gets over 1000 players a day on average.

Frankly, I'd be more suprised if there weren't more than 1000 people playing Halo 2 Vista. Of course when the game is first released there will be some time where there won't be many people on it just due to the fact that the game will be brand new. But think about it. Halo 2 Vista is being made exclusively for vista. Meaning it won't have the same compatability issues older games are bound to have with the new operating system.

Less and what are currently player PC. Seeing that only the rich, nerds, and business people have upgraded to vista, there's not going to be anyone who wants to play it who actualy has vista. What about nerds you ask? Nerds don't play ports for three year old games, they want the newest edition of Crackdown.

It will take awhile, in my opinion, for the General Public to make Vista the "Standard". Because of the compatibility issues for a lot of applications, Vista won't be as popular until all the bugs are worked out. until then, you'll see an average amount of people playing Halo 2 Vista.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

It may be a 3 year old port, but it's prettier now, remember they have basically re-created all the textures to be higher rez and thus smexy? We just haven't had the pleasure of getting screenshots of it.

I have Vista, and I assure you, all the bugs have been worked out thanks to a few updates.

Vista will be standard very quickly simply because it is new. People are obsessed with new stuff. Halo 2 Vista will be popular enough.

All the bugs in Vista probably won't be worked out until the first Vista Service Pack. I believe it will be available sometime in the fall.

There will be no Vista service packs. Any and all updates to the Operating System and any of its accesories and features can be achieved through the extensive update system in Vista.

I use Vista, and I have no problem with it. I acctually get a much better framerate than in XP in: Halo PC\CE, F.E.A.R., HL2, CSS and Q4. The only apparent problem is with the fact that Vista takes up a lot of memory, especially if you are using the Aero theme (who isn't?). You will not notice this however, if you have 2GB+ memory.

All in all, I would like to say that Vista is an awesome system.

^The newest Imacs have right click buttons on them, as well, as a "squeeze" button, and a middle button, and of course left click. And a 4 way scroller.

I've asked you this before; where the hell did you get that information?

Even then, 70% of 360 gamers will probably be severely outnumbered by dedicated PC gamers who could care less about a port of a three-year-old console title, when there are games like Crysis coming out.

That's what I've been trying to say, as well. They're not dedicated PC gamers. If by PC gamers, you mean they play Solitaire and Minesweeper in their spare time, then sure.

You're just a little anarchist, trying to disrupt our forum intentionally, aren't you?

For a Mac user, I would expect someone of more maturity, but I guessed wrong. Macs fail.
