I think im set and ready to go! I can't wait for the game to come out. However, the upgrade to Vista has been a little rough, but i've managed to get there. I wanted the best experience in my mind, and went out and bought the Xbox 360 wireless adapter for Windows, and a brand new black wireless controller. I've actually spent alot more then just that though in order to play Halo 2 Vista on my pc. I ordered Windows Vista about a week ago, i am also heavily considering a new GFX card since an nVidia 6600 isn't going to do so hot while running vista. Right now im backing up all my stuff to a server thats in my basement for when i do officially start the upgrade to vista. About 100gigs of Game saves, Halo custom edition maps, installers to applications i have, movies, pictures, and other things are being transfered as i write this to that server. (you know...just in case the Vista upgrade doesn't go smoothly). The day Halo 2 Vista comes out i plan on biking about 8 miles to the ebgames in my town to pick up my reserved copy of Halo 2 Vista.

So, who else out there is going out to great lengths to get to run or play Halo 2 Vista on their computer?
I am sure others have gone to far greater lengths then i have, but let's see and find out...

Slaying noobs since 2007.

I don't know, so-so I guess, I mean its not like it was a few years ago when it was first released, but still looking forward to it.

The real reasons im doing it is because of the new maps, map maker, and how it connects to xbox live.

- Note, that's split up so that it's allowed :)

I've been waiting two years to play this game!!! Ever since it came out on Xbox, because I do not own an Xbox, never have. So this, is quite a large moment for me. Except that my laptop is less-than-desirable...so hopefully it will run ok on low quality.

I can't wait for the game! ... Too bad I don't have Vista, nor a computer that will run H2V. :-(

Halo 2 is going to be a gagillion times better on the pc than it is on the xbox/360. Im just afraid that it will be about a gagillion times easier to mod Halo 2 Vista...

Why are you afraid?

To be honest, I really can't quite stop thinking about it. Something about it evokes that It's-Too-Good-To-Be-True! feeling in me. I'm extremely pumped, I'm planning to play this all summer long.

However, I have to say I'm more pumped for Games for Windows - Live, Crysis, etc...

Im a halo pc modder myself, but in Halo 2 Vista im sure there is going to be some sort of matchmaking systems...if there isnt going to be a matchmaking system in halo 2 vista then i missed that. But if there is going to be a matchmaking system in halo 2 vista then it will crawling with modders.

The fact that i will be able to have private chats with my friends in gears, crackdown, etc on my pc makes my back tingle a bit.

Modders are not the same when it comes to the PC. You can't standby, bridge, or "mod" on a PC; you can run hacks, but with server options of kicking/banning players...well, you catch my drift.

Also, match making is only available to Gold members. All of us who will be playing it for free will have the honor of browsing through servers and manually joining them.

I hope the release date (when was it again? May something?) never arrives. Too bad May starts tommorow.

Yeah i have a gold xbox live account and plan on playing through that. Will i be able to not sign into live and manually pick a server the same as you guys? I dont think they would institute the custom maps into the Xbox live like online play.
