we all know that these are the MINIMUM system requirements no one is sure yet what the recommended system requirements are but we can make an educated guess.



-MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
OS:Windows Vista™
Processor:2 Ghz (2000mhz) Pentium 4 class processor (or x64) ; AMD athlon 2000+ or better
RAM:1 GB
Hard Drive:7 GB (for install)
Video Card: direct X9 graphics card: WDDM driver, PS 2.0/32BPP, At least nVidia 6000 or ATI x700 or aboveOnline Multi-player
Internet connection for Games for Windows – LIVEDrive
DVD-ROM drive



----this is my best stab at the recommended system requirements
-RECOMMENDED REQUIRMENTS
OS:Windows Vista™
Processor:2.5-3.0 GHZ (2500MHZ- 3000MHZ) PENTIUM 4 OR AMD athlon 2500+ or better - once again this is just a guess
RAM:2? GB
Hard Drive:7 GB (for install)
Video Card: direct X9 graphics card nvidia 7600 series or better ATI X1600XT or better (will have a better list)

ATI MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS- this is to play at low - medium video setttings (*best guess*)
-X700
-9800
-9700Pro
-9800Pro
-9800XT
-X700Pro


ATI RECOMMENDED REQUIRMENTS- this is to play at medium - high video settings (*best guess*)
-X1600XT
-X800GTO/GTO2
-X800pro
-X1650 Pro
-X850Pro
-X800XL
-X800XT/XTPE
-X850XT/XTPE
-X1650XT
-X1800GTO
-X1800XL
-X1800XT
-X1900GT
-X1950Pro
-X1900XT 256MB
-X1900XT
-X1900XTX
-X1950XTX
-X2800XTX


nvidia MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS-this is to play at low - medium video setttings (*best guess*)
-6200
-6600LE
-5900XT - not in the 6000 series but had better performance
-6600
-7300GS - gs series is terrible =p
-6600GT
-6800XT/LE
-6800
-6800GT
-6800GS

nvidia RECOMMENDED REQUIRMENTS- this is to play at medium - high video settings (*best guess*)
-7600
-7600gs
-7600GST
-7600GT - i highly recomend this card! great price /performance ratio
-7800GS
-7800GT
-7900GS
-7800GTX
-7900GT
-7800GTX 512MB
-7900GT 512MB
-7950GT
-7900GTO
-7900GTX
-8800GTS 320MB
-7950GX2 (duel gpu *sli in one card*)
-8800GTs
-8800GTx


this is by no means absolutely accurate just a BEST GUESS! if any one has anything to add to the list just tell me so and i will see what i can do =)
this is not a list by bungie or any professional just a BEST GUESS! by a fellow nerd.

when using MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS parts your only going to play with low - medium settings
when using RECOMMENDED REQUIREMENTS parts your going to be able to play with medium - high settings
this is a list where i got a lot of info and help for this list if someone can link it for me or tell me how too that would be great =)

remember the human eye only sees 6-16 fps but we do notice changes. like dropping from 100fps to 50fps it is noticable

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

The X700 is the minimum. That means that 9x00 cards won't work at all.

I wouldn't recommend a 1300XT or 7300GT, in fact, those probably wouldn't be better than a X700... For recommended, I'd say X1650 and up, along with 7600 and up.

Also, you put in your recommended a AMD 2500+, which isn't 2ghz, you probably ment 3500+

True, but this is still a good idea. I'm getting really tired of seeing a new "Can my PC run Halo 2 Vista?" thread every time I log in here.

  • 04.09.2007 3:06 PM PDT

Reccomended settings? Where? What website?

My FAQ and Microsoft's page for H2V. There's also a few news articles online. The topic creator was dead on the money for recommended specs.

Agamemnon582bc if you can send me a link to the REAL recommended i can post that up here, thx.

and AMD's process stats such as * 2500+ * really translate to an equivalent to intels 2.5ghz standard proc. a 2500+ doest have the same mhz but it performs like an intel 2.5ghz. if this is wrong any one plz correct me.

its not that they wont work but they cant say all of this series is going to work so instead they replace there one series up .this way when h2v comes out ati will sell some of there more expensive cards instead of cheaper ones.
while looking up these cards there were some 9000 series cards that i have listed on my list that were ranked just as high as the x700 and some higher. thus they get the same and better performance as the x700

  • 04.09.2007 4:30 PM PDT

What it is.

I am sure that if you have a 7800 and/or X1800 or higher will max the game, assuming you have a good CPU and mem.

No offense, but do you know what the word "minimum" means?

It means "the bottom" "the lowest point" "the least"...

Thank you, thank you. I was wondering if everyone who was begging for a sticky had already forgotten that there already was one.

Lol, you're not the first. As you can see, even if this was stickied we'd still have new topics about "Can I run it" appearing every day. No matter how hard you try, you can't truly stop ignorance in its tracks.

Sad, but true. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is make rude comments and hope they take thier ignorance elsewhere...
