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

Halo 2 Vista was a huge disappointment:
1. 50$ or so a year to have a gamer tag and I can't play halo 2 vista online and be on my Xbox 360 at the same time?
2.You would think a game made exclusively for vista would be compatible with Vista. This is not so much the case. Vista's aero is turned off when I open up halo. This does not happen with other games/programs that I play/use. I also continually receive video driver failures(which is more so nvidia's and/or microsoft's fault because i experience this with other games). And who can forget the "Halo 2 for Windows Vista Has Stopped Working" errors.
3.The default controls are ridiculous awkward.
4.Minimal video configuration options. Wheres my vsync, my refresg rate options, and other various options like halo 1.
5.Theres an entire 14 people online (probably for the reasons below).
5a. Windows Vista exclusive
5b. Required to have gold account to take full advantage of online play.
5c. The countless release delays.
5d. The recall.
6.I run a dual monitor setup. Unlike every other game that I have played…ever, the mouse will run off of my main monitor(the one that has halo 2 on it) and onto my other monitor(the one showing my desktop) while Halo 2 is maximized and full screen.
7.It didn’t install a desktop icon.
Halo 1 was by far one of my favorite games. And Halo 1 PC IMO was even better than the xbox version. Halo 2 and 3 Beta are amazing IMO too. But for some reason halo 2 vista just doesnt feel right. I hope halo 3 for the pc is better, if M$ ever decides to release it.
(IMHO IMHO IMHO...ad infinitum)
1. Why would you need to be?
2. No Aero doesn't bother me as long as I am in the game. Also, in the many hours I have played it since I got it on Sunday, I have only received ONE "Halo 2 has stopped working" message.
3. I use a controller, so I can't comment.
4. Hopefully, that will be added in a patch.
5. There are at least 82 people going by the recent players on my one account and by my friends list on there.(and including me)
6. I can't comment, seeing as I use only one monitor.
7. That's what the games explorer and "pin to start menu" features are for.
