You trying to tell me that the XBOX runs on a 7800, has 2 GB of RAM, Intel P4 @ 2GHz and a Vista OS?
Of course not. That's probably the second dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone ever say. But Halo 2 Vista does not run on the Xbox. It runs on, um, Windows Vista (that's probably why they call it Halo 2 Vista). I sincerly doubt that putting your Xbox Halo 2 disc in your Windows Vista machine would work either.
However, because they wanted it to run on Halo 2 Vista and be the flagship game for the platform, they had to beef it up quite a bit. Which they did. Thus, Halo 2 Vista's code and Halo 2's (Xbox) code are vastly different. They're not even comparable. Rest assured, Halo 2 Vista has been tweaked quite a bit so as to look better on modern hardware. Enjoy your updated and improved game!
Halo 2 Vista, tweaked quite a lot. Sure, the graphics don't look much better than the XBOX version (I admit on 'higher" end systems with "higher" resolutions it looks a lot clearer). There are a ton of glitches and bugs for what I have been reading. Well, I am not going to say more because I have not played the game, and I have heard that it runs really well on 7600's, which i have a 7600GT, so if this is true, i guess I'm lucky.
You can't really say that, just because its on Vista, and only recently came out on PC that you need new hardware to play it well. I have gained 10-15% performance boost over XP after I installed Vista Ultimate. My games run faster in Vista than what they did in XP. So theoretically, Halo 2 Vista should run well with Vista. For what I've heard, this is not the case.

It's a rubbish port
Oh? Most of the game review sites seem to be fairly impressed with it. Really, I am surprised to see so much hate.
I wouldn't call 6.7 out of 10, or 7 out of 10 a very good review
