I think that halo2 should come for windows lower than vista like windows xp cuz not everyone will go out and buy windows vista or an xbox just to get halo2.

The millionth -blam!- ing thread about this, don't you know how to use a search bar, it's for vista, because vista can now provide better graphics than xp, and some other things, and it's the new OS, so why waste time using something outdated for your game when other good money payers are moving on to vista? And also mac's I don't think will be getting it because their not as good as PCs.

By the way arbiter is a -blam!-. They ruined halo 2 using him.

I agree it should be made for XP atleast. There are many people that wont get Vista and/or dont want it, I dont want it because theres alot of software that doesnt work with it.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

It would be great if Halo 2 for PC worked on something other than Vista. That's not going to happen, however.

Really, you people have to deal with the fact that Halo 2 VISTA is NOT coming out for anything but Windows Vista. And that includes Windows XP and GEYSX.

I'd rather buy Vista than buy an xbox, aren't 360's $400? Vista Ult is $300, saved some money, plus, I'd rather not have three controllers. Vista, or Bungie could just release it on Vista., (lol'ed).

SuperSnorky, you're forgetting the fact that most of these people who are complaining are probably of the youth who have yet to get jobs and pay for their own damn money, and probably have computers so crappy it won't matter if Halo 2 can be played on older operating systems anyhow, and they'd have to upgrade. That alone would cost around $2,000. You're right, however.

Frnksnbns is on a roll. Why don't we have Halo 2 on the Commodore, let alone Windows 95?

Just wait until the game actually comes out. The fallout from fifty people posting on the same subject will be so severe it will resemble New Mombasa in its earlier times.

And dude, read the stickies.

Damn I'm amazed at the general tone of responses from you guys! Just because the banner now says Halo 1 &2 for PC doesn't mean you have to stop acting like civilized maw goers.

Your opinion does not matter here. No one cares what you think.
Obi Wan what's the matter with you?! All of your responses in this topic have been far too harsh, and I have to say you don't sound intimidating or "cool" you just sound like an -blam!- hole.

People like Seldon? AJ? Sure I respect what they say because they actually give a reason behind their answer.

People are entitled to have opposing views. -----------------------> Remember that now,children.

I for one believe it should have came out for xp, because games simply run better on xp! Sure having the games folder and windows live is nice, but we don't need that! We've survived on xfire for this long I find it very hard to believe that this game needs Live to work.
Whew.

I sure hope so.
I have a 7600gs and to achieve a stable 60fps on halo I need to:
Vista - 1280x1024 high on everything except specular, no Antioscopic Filtering, and no EAX
XP - 1280x1024 high on everything with specular, 4x Antioscopic Filtering, with EAX.

Its hard to argue with the results kim. :-\

I said, "Not for long." Everybody knows that Windows XP is better for gaming at the moment, since all the games are optimized for it. It's actually quite easy to argue with the results if you know they can change.

Just because Windows XP offers better performance doesn't mean Windows Vista won't eventually become the superior, better operating system for running games. Soon enough, with the advent of the DX10 drivers, updates to Vista and whatnot, that will change.

THIS is a vary hard question because YOU would eran so much more money BUT if you run it on like a vista when its ment for a 95 it will slow down you computer and it might not look as good so its hard i put ______ plus people might not have a vista or don't have enough money

When will people pull their heads out of their asses and realize that this will be for Vista only, and not a damn thing about it will change.

Money is one thing keeping me from getting vista, I don't have the $$$.$$ to get Vista, and some people hate vista, why is that? I have no idea, I've seen a few videos on it, and I've seen a laptop at school that has it, and I think it's a sweet OS, I'm a sucker for top of the line gfx.

I know, they do need to get jobs, your right. Also, i was comparing the OS alone to a 360. "Read the stickies."
Most common used sentence in the whole Maw. Also, Bungie puts a game on a certain for a reason, if it wasn't for Live, then it may had 30% chance of going on XP, but that is the past, most of us want a new OS, we all have to move on, dont we?

There's no point in saying "I think they should make Halo 2 for XP". They are already making it for Vista and it's too late to change it. This, of course, is for the beter.

For those who still don't understand why H2V is only for Vista, tech specs aside, think about it from a business/economic standpoint:

Microsoft releases this nice, new, operating system, and want people to buy it.They then create this nice new LIVE gaming system to run in tandem with nice new games, such as H2V, exclusively for Vista. What it comes down to is: they want money. Anyone who says money isn't a factor is, quite frankly, out of their mind. By making a game exclusively for a new OS (again tech aside), they are essentially promoting their product and betting on those "die-hard fans," to buy the new OS, if for no other reason than to play the game. If you were in their shoes wouldn't you want to promote the new OS while selling a highly anticipated game that runs exclusively on that OS at the same time? Vista has the opportunity to produce much higher sales than Halo 2 Vista can ever hope to. By selling H2V exclusively for Microsoft's new flagship OS, Vista, they're pretty much inflating their profits higher than if Halo 2 were to be released on other OS's (btw, for those who aren't tech savvy, OS = operating system).

After all, money does makes the world go 'round.

Cheers.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Get a job if you can't afford a copy of Vista Ultimate for $200.
