Subject: Will Halo PC and Halo CE work if i get vista?

I dunno if this is the right area to post this topic in, but, will Halo PC and Halo CE work if i get Windows Vista?

It will have a better graphics card than i do now i guess (which is a RADEON 9550 ATI graphics card), and the PC i found on dell.com shown 3 PCs all with the Vista operating system, so will Halo PC and Halo CE still work?

Yeah, you might run into compatability issues, but you can find a vista fix for it somewheres. It used to be on bungie.net but I can't find it anymore.
But if not, it will run fine.

Wait, it's more complicated than a simple "yes." There's a hotfix you need to download (besides the 1.07 patch) for Vista computers only. I seem to remember someone in the forums mentioning something about this.

edit: missed it by one minute. someone posted before mie

Any fix like that for Halo PC somewhere?

I may search later on

I was playing Halo PC before on Vista and it was working fine, and I don't think I downloaded any hotfixes...

If you want peace, prepare for war.

worked for me perfectly, if you do run into compatibility issues all you have to do is... right click on the program, go to properties, compatibility tab, than select run in comaptibility for xp sp2.

Yessir, I've had no problems with Halo PC, Halo CE, or the HEK.

EDIT: That fix is for the beta's of Vista, not for the final release. You should have no problems.

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

Mine is my Halo 2 emblem. It isn't a self made avatar.

Yes, the emblem in Halo 2 you have on your Xbox Live account can also be seen as your Bungie.net avatar if you wish.
