First of all, this thread is probably not going to be popular.
Now, let's take a look at Halo 2 Vista. Not only do you have to upgrade to Vista to play it (which is $99 at the very least), you have to pay $50 for it. $50 for a mediocre port of a two and a half year old game. What kind of bull-blam!- is that? Not only that, but unless you get a Gold Windows Live account, you're basically playing a demo of Halo 2. Microsoft wants you to pay for stuff that is free in virtually every other PC FPS.
What was Microsoft thinking? Is this really a good way to show off how much they "care" about the PC gaming market, and to promote Windows Live? Microsoft once said that they really "care" about the PC's potential as a gaming platform. This clearly demonstrates the opposite.
Which leads me to my point. Boycott Halo 2 Vista. If you buy Halo 2 Vista, you're supporting this blatant rip-off that Microsoft is trying to pull. If Windows Live becomes popular, in the future, a lot of games might be like Halo 2 Vista. Buy higher quality games like Half-Life 2 or Far Cry, instead. Stick with Halo 1 PC if you must. Just don't support this bull-blam!-.
Edit: As I expected, this thread is going to have a lot of Halo 2 fanboys trying to justify Windows Live. Wake the -blam!- up.
LOL, Have fun with that.
You should have titled your thread: "I hate Halo 2, I hate Microsoft, I hate Bungie, I hate Vista, I hate GFW Live. This is why I'm not going to buy H2V!"
