Hi and Welcome! This topic is about the reasons on Halo 2. Here is one of my reasons.

>> Halo 2 should have been made compatible for XP and Vista, instead of just Vista, because not very many people will be able to afford Halo 2 Vista.

Now personally I think they should make the game compatible for Windows XP and Vista.

GO RIGHT AHEAD AND TELL ME ABOUT YOUR REASONS.

If they did that, where would the LIVE functionality go? Also, making Vista a requirement means that the developers know what the lowest possible computer can even install the game. That means that if you have Vista, you can run H2V.

What it is.

Halo 2 should have had online Co-op because it was already written in the code but it wasn't optimized. Also i don't think Halo 2 should come to XP because then it wouldn't be able to take advantage of great features such as LIVE and Rapid Install.

Hooray! Another "Make Halo 2 PC for XP!" thread. Not like we don't have enough of these floating around here. The game is going to be released in a little under a month. So I don't see the point in making another one of these retarded threads. I've said it before and I'm saying it again. The only people who can't afford to upgrade are either jobless or 12 year olds. Neither of those two groups buy Operating Systems, and neither of those two groups have any business complaining if they can't afford something.

BTW: Welcome to the Maw, Rain. You've really made a good impression of yourself by posting a thread everyone here has had more than enough of.

Someone outta call the Internet Police.

Ignorance is no excuse. You came here and made a thread which we have seen time and time again. You brought no facts to support your arguement, hell, you didn't even give an arguement. You probably thought "Hey, they should make Halo 2 for XP! I bet all these guys agree with me, so if I make a thread where everyone agrees, they'll all like me!"

Sorry, but we're all tired of seeing threads made by pre-pubescent school children who think Halo 2 should be for XP because they can't get Vista.

lol, the first message was a failer, why is this topic still alive, are people that thick?

So said the thick headed one who posted in the topic...

The thread will die when everyone's bored with busting the OPs chops.

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.

I don't mind replying to these threads because I'm not happy with the Vista-only approach. Humanitarian companies make stuff that all people from all walks of life can use, and blood sucking companies make stuff for the elite or prey on the impulses of the unwary. I guess we can put aside morality for the sake of the Microsoft profit margin though, right? In the meantime, I'll be racking up time for free playing Legends while I decide whether I want to admit I'm owned and pay for Vista just to play Halo 2 with a mouse.

No child of mine would type without proper grammar, capitlization, and punctuation, thankyouverymuch. But besides that, he reminds me of myself... which vexes me greatly.

Yeah well the guy who made this topic wasn't worth my proper grammar.

Which I will admit is almost non-existent.

if the ONLY reason you would buy Halo2 on the PC is so you could play it with a mouse then just don't buy it. For those people who dont have, dont want and never intend to buy an XBox, its their first time "seeing" the game.

?? Why can't you use it ?? If you say you cant AFFORD to use it, then it's exactly the same argument for buying a car or a house or ANY PRODUCT ANYWHERE on sale. Can you say you know a company that still support their original products? Record companies making the people with tape players suffer? Nintendo making the SNES players suffer? Ford for changing the stereo set-ups so that the older stereo's won't fit? Etc.

It's only $99 dollars for Vista Basic, and only $120 dollars (I think) for Basic Premium, I bought Basic premium and so far it's good and cheap, if you really can't afford an OS for 99 dollars you have some serious financial problems.

Hi and Welcome! This topic is about the reasons on Halo 2. Here is one of my reasons.

>> Halo 2 should have been made compatible for XP and Vista, instead of just Vista, because not very many people will be able to afford Halo 2 Vista.

Now personally I think they should make the game compatible for Windows XP and Vista.

GO RIGHT AHEAD AND TELL ME ABOUT YOUR REASONS.

(Please try not to be rude, or cruel. NO PROPHANITY!)

Several problems about this post
1. Halo 2 will never go to XP so don't ask.
2. The people who have jobs can afford vista, they put it on vista because of all of the enhancments that halo 2 will have, and they don't care that you can't afford it as this is a 17+ game any ways, so you should have a job and be able to buy vista.
3. Don't type in all caps.
4. You don't have reasons, you have a reason.
5. This state ment right here is redundant: Halo 2 should have been made compatible for XP and Vista, instead of just Vista, because not very many people will be able to afford Halo 2 Vista. Now personally I think they should make the game compatible for Windows XP and Vista.
6. See 2.
