Why would it be free? Do you mean to play online? It's $50 for the game and for a live membership silver is free and gold is $50 annually.

This may sound a little stupid, but do you need an internet connection to play H2V (just the single player). I mean, doesn't live work in a similar way to Steam with Half Life 2 etc. You need the internet to log into Steam, and use Steam to play Half Life 2. Is that what you need to do for H2V, log into Live, than use Live to play H2V???

Gaming Systems:
Intel Core i7 720QM (4 cores, 8 threads)
4Gb DDR3-1333mhz
1Gb AMD Radeon HD 4650
Windows 7 64bit

Xbox 360 w/ 20Gb HDD (2008 edition) & XBL Gold.

I sure hope not, my best PC has an install of Vista, but is not connected to the internet permanently. I have to lug it into the office, connect it to my router, screen, keyboard etc, to receive Windows and Applcation updates every few months...obviously i will get wireless soon, but until then, nope. So here's hoping i'll be able to play Halo 2 Vista's campaign quite happily without the need for the internet :D

No, Fake, the Windows LIVE interface is exclusively for multiplayer. It will not be used for single player, thus you will not need an internet connection to play it.

No you don't, sure you can d/l things of the internet for free, but you have to pay for the internet connection in order to be able to connect to the internet and get it, so your not really getting it for free.

I wish sex was free, but first you got to buy food to live, than you have to pay for transport and randomly meet her somewhere, than you have to pay money to impress her (and trust me, that doesn't come cheap), and, well i don't won't to go further into details but you get the general idea.

So, in other words, nothing, absolutely nothing is for free, if you really thought about it, you'd see that one way or another you had to pay money in order to get it.

i am pretty sure i don't have to pay for my thoughts, but if your going about the idea that i have to feed myself to think, well that can be free as well. it might take some labor to raise a few animals and crops, but i could do it all for free. I could find wild chickens and cows, and i could steal grain from my neighbor!

Where will you live, you'll need to buy a house, pay for electricity, pay for land, pay for clothing. Than again, you could be left to steal things from your neighbor, but when (if) you get caught, you have to pay a fine. ow, don't forget that you have to pay money to look after your stock if your living on the farm.

The only thing in life that's still free, financially speaking is of course air. Although I'm sure someone will find a way to force us to pay money for it.

no you dont. nothing in life is free. even if something doesnt have an explicit (monetary value) cost associated with it such as money it does have an implicit cost (opportunity cost) or in other words the cost of the time for doing an action. downloading something off the internet is not free contrary to what you might think. you have to pay for the internet to be able to do it and while you are downloading it there isnt much more you can do on the internet because it will be incredibly slow or slow down the download.

and even air has an implicit cost. so yeah it is "free" as you are refering to but in the true sense it isnt free.

That made me LOL big time. But i don't know, if someones gonna force us to pay to breathe air it will be the industries that are polluting our world. They will end up going to court and saying something like "We've been polluting the atmosphere for several decades, and now that the atmosphere is almost completely polluted, we have people breathing it. Thats our pollution they are breathing. I'm not going to sit around spending money on my pollution making machines just so they can breathe it, i demand money from all those who are breathing my pollution". Though that will never, ever happen. I'd say it would be like that if it did. That or Microsoft buys out those companies and does the same thing.

UPDATE: Defnop552 has confirmed he has fixed his dick.

Acording to my walmart Halo 2 Vista was released on May 10th.....

They had copies of it avalable but I couldn't buy it because apparently my computer isn't a vista which sucks because it has a Map editor in it!

Release date May 22nd, next week pretty much. I don't get it, if there are already copies of H2V in stores why is it delayed???, I've been hearing theres something wrong with the installation, but why would stores still have the games, are they planning to sell non working h2v copies to everyone. And i also heard microsoft had a problem with LIVE. Has microsoft got some kind of new technology where they can fix problems on the DVD's already in stores without actually touching them???

What are your computer specs, and don't worry, for the last couple of years i have been playing games on a low end PC with no problems, used a Radeon 9200, and geforce mx 4000 during the days the 6800GT Ultra was king. Used a Geforce 6200 during the days 7950GX2 and Radeon X1950XT was king, and when the 8800GTS-GTX came out. Now I have a 7600GT, when you live on a crappy budget, money can only go so far, so i tend to get used to it. To be honest, the jump from my 6200 to 7600GT was enormous, im quite impressed with the new graphics options i can use with higher resolutions, very impressed. Oh and i finally got to play HL2 epi 1 and finish it (very short game), my 6200 was unable to play that game :-(.
