Oh, it'll probably run the game well, most definitely. It might be choppy if you decide to crank up all the bells and whistles, but I think you're going to enjoy a decent performance. That's above the minimum requirements, I believe.

By the way, "New Requirments do these meet?" Like Yoda, grammar need you learn.

You should be able to run the game fine... What's ! GB of ram? 1? You'd probably want to upgrade it to two gigs, that way, not only Halo 2 Vista will run better, but Vista likes two gigs too.

Get Marathon Here
Get Marathon 2 and Infinity Here

Vista likes 4 Gigs if were going that rout, but in any case, that rig will run H2V just fine, but don't expect to be crankin up the settings to max at high resolutions.

  • 04.06.2007 11:53 AM PDT

What it is.

^Well S**t, anything loves 4Gigs. 2GB right now is like the 'Must-Have' for most computers, as you see now on most new-age games, the box starts recommending 2GB. But you should run it fine, probably not MAX but still decent.

Yeah, like Master Kim said, you'll be able to run the game decently if you don't turn up the graphics all the way.
Hope you have fun when it comes out =)

I have a Nivida GeForce 6200 LE with 128 RAM in that card. Will that fit the requirements for H2_Vista? All help would be welcome. Thanks!

Better to have the game run smoothly with no Graphics, then not smoothly with all the graphics. Im also gonna buy a new 1G or 2G stick of RAM for my PC so I can actully have the GFX run smoother, and never lag!

I agree. Graphics doesn't mean anything. Gameplay does

wow i cannot believe what you are saying, if you were a "true" gamer, you would know that gameplay is almost equal to graphics. I mean you cant have one without the other.

Example
So I have a game that looks really good but its the most dumb thing i've ever played or another Example is a game that plays well but looks like -blam!-.

I dont know about you but i wouldnt want either. So plz learn about the stuff you talk about n@#bie

Wrong. We're not saying graphics aren't important, but game play is what matters the most. Yes, Halo has great graphics, but we play it because of its game play. In the end, we're saying gameplay > graphics, but that doesn't mean graphics are unimportant. True gamers do in fact care about game play over visuals.

Pac-Man has craptastic graphics, but that doesn't mean it sucks or it's boring. So please learn about the stuff you talk about "n@#bie."

I don't know about you, but I would much rather have a game that plays well, has good replayability, and is just plain fun, over a game that has spiffy graphics, but boring, repetitive, and just plain bad gameplay.

Video Game developers today are more interested in having the prettiest game on the market, they don't care that the gameplay, and the story, has been reused more times than "stay the course."
