Ok...

Well, I'm just not getting Vista 'cuz I have it for Xbox, and the extra features don't convince me enough to get it.
I agree with whoever said that people who get Vista to play one game is sad.
A boycott won't do anything, and I really don't think H2Vista is a ripoff over all :P

Some might say I'm cheap, some might be right ;P

And then you will eventually have to pay more and more for the MP.

Plus the xbox plays games.
PC plays games, movies, music, everything.

How are you even going to "boycott" it anyway?

It looks like a okay game, has ANYONE played it yet. so far anyone I have seen in this fourm that has played, says its "great" "good" or simply "okay". The only people that have bashed H2PC are the people who havn't played it yet.

Better graphics, it's a good game, Fine gameplay, MP and SP, special MP features(for a fee), whats so fricken wrong with it?

Your point will never be hear. Even if everyone on this forum boycoted H2V (wich they won't), it would still make such a small impact on sales, that M$ would not even notice it.

Let's make XBox live a quality game playing atmosphere.

I'd love to boycott it but I really need a game to play, need something to do on my spare time. This is the only game im interested in. I would buy it for my Xbox 360 but I can not play with a controller, im -blam!- awful, check my Halo 3 Beta stats, see how bad they are. I love playing with Mouse/Keyboard, now that im good at.


Check out "Dirt"...coming out next month for PC and 360.

  • 05.28.2007 6:59 PM PDT

I couldn't care less about subscribing to gold, I don't care about the achievements, I can always stick with just the single player achievements. But still, you're right about how much the damn game is, they could of just made it 30$ but M$ wants our money :P

2. Live is better than Xfire, IMO, except for the fact that it only allows 100 friends.
I'm going to agree with you there, but keep in mind Xfire is free...

xfire is 10x better... it has so many games in its list and it hsa your own little profile, tracks your hours and everything. it has voice chat and group chat and all that. much better. you can have your screenshots on your profile and u can send files. free customizable skins and everything. also, HL2, CS, CS:S are all very good games...

Not that this would make a big impact on any of the H2V haters out there, but it is about $10 cheaper at Circuit City... I got mine for about $41, and before it is even officially released.

Your an idiot. You obviously are a little -blam!- halo fan boy, and you can not play an fps that requires skill. Half Life 2 = Valve game. It won 35 Game of the year awards. Counter Strike is one of the most widely played FPS's. Also by Valve. Do yourself a favor and shut up.


I don't mean to be a dick, but some of the people on this forum are pathetic.

2. He said games after Halo blew ass monkeys, that does not make him a fanboy, I think a lot of other games blow ass monkeys after halo, but I am not a fanboy, hell I usualy only play halo when it's with a freind, I don't play it that often by myself, and he plays other stuff than halo.

Then don't use it. It's that simple.

Seize the Day

You will upgrade to Vista. Just not as soon if you don't buy Halo 2 Vista. Nobody uses Windows 3.1 anymore...or 95 for that matter...I doubt 98 is used that much

Quite arguing before you get this whole thread in trouble. Besides, why the hell would you go off on someone for not liking other game's as much as Halo? Disagreeing sure, but what you did was a prime example of stupid. Consider this: You're calling him a fan-boy. NO, YOU DON'T SAY! You're on the Bungie forums, now where of all places would you expect a Halo fan-boy to be? Sure Half-Life's good, and CS was good back in the day (when haxxorz weren't so rampant), but use a little foresight next time, okay?

You're obviously a Valve/CS fanboy. The Counter-Strikes R' Us forums are WAY back somewhere, lost in Google. Go find it. Bye.

And I LOL at the H2V supporters. There is no way it couldn't have been done for the XP, it is just a marketing plan to promote Vista. Everyone should just wake the hell up, and realize the truth. I am not saying Vista is bad, but the fact that they charge you for stuff that are supposed to be naturally free, are pure bull-blam!-.

I'm going to have to agree with you, but I think your attacks on my good friend LOLMART is a bit unjustified. It's his opinion. Although I do believe Counter-Strike is a better game, that's our opinion, no? Just because he doesn't appreciate CS, that makes him a noob who doesn't like first-person shooters that take skill to play?

If you don't wan't to pay to play then get Live Silver, which has Voice Chat, Server browser, Text chat, Chat over Live, Single player achievements, ect. And ironicly Silver has more features then most Multiplayer FPS'.

And i prefer Halo 2 to CS. CS just got boring, the same old, buy weapons &armor, shoot people, wait 2 minutes for round to end. The spraying and crazy headshots got really annoying in CS, not to mention that CS doesn't have vehicles.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, this is just mine.

Actually, considering the fact that said games have lower system requirements AND better graphics than Halo, built in anti-cheat, and generally a better community (besides CSS)....

1. Your going to have to get Vista eventually.

2. LIVE is going to be for other games, its a new feature. It will most likly become better and better over time. It also works with xbox LIVE.

3. Its a crappy port. I dont care i need to play halo 2 to see everything in it for myself.

4. It has the map editor. Hopfully it will better than halo 1 pc.

5. If you don't want to pay alot, wait for it to become cheaper.

1. So? Halo 2 still sucks for it.
2. Big deal. It doesn't have to be Live to be cross platform. And Halo 2 isn't cross platform at all.
3. Sucker. You're not missing much.
4. Better as in easier so retards can have at it? "Yayz! I maek a mapz dats a big whole filled with wepuns and stufs. LOLOL!"
5. Halo PC is currently 20$. Halo 2 isn't even half the game Halo PC is, therefore, if Halo 2 Vista is more than 9$, it's a ripoff. End of story.

Posted by: Aj6627
1. Halo 2 is on Vista because of Live Anywhere. It's Vista only AFAIK. It's not a grand scheme to make people buy Vista just to play ONE game. Anyone who does that is sad.

2. Live is better than Xfire, IMO, except for the fact that it only allows 100 friends.

3. I agree with the "huh?".

4. How do you have to pay for anything other than the game to use the map editor? :/

5. It will be cheaper, and I am happy to pay the $40 that I payed for it, seeing as it is an excellent game even if you only play the SP portion.

1. Why couldn't Microsoft add Live Anywhere to XP? Oh yeah, that's right.... $$$
2. Then how is it better? Looks the same tbh.
3. Not gonna bother.
4. As far as I know, you are correct, sir.
5. Halo 2 IS an excellent game... for people that like noobery.

Posted by: snowysnowcones
"Live Anywhere" is a great idea, finally being able to connect Xbox and PC is what a lot of gamers have been hoping for, for a while now. It's about time its been done. However, I really don't think that Live anywhere on Halo 2 Vista justifies a $50 price tag - It's just not worth it. Everything that they want to make us pay for has already been done in other games for free. Now for other games, where you're actually going to be able to utilize all of the features.
The map editor really isn't a big deal... Games have now been shipping with map editors for a long time, it's nothing new like Microsoft is promoting it is.

If Xbox Live wasn't so exclusive, there wouldn't be any problem with cross platform gaming. Once again, I turn to Final Fantasy XI as an example. PS2 and PC cross-platform gaming before the 360 was even announced. Had Xbox Live been more malleable like PS2's online play, cross-platform gaming would be all over the place.

halo 2 on vista is A real piece of crap. Halo2 on xbox is good.

I prefer CS to Halo 2. Halo 2 just got boring, the same old, run for the noob combos/sword, make headshots that missed by 5 feet, BXB and BXR like crazy, hear 7 year olds -blam!- and talk -blam!- for 30 minutes until the game ends. The noobs that can't aim worth a crap and still won got really annoying too, not to mention that Halo 2 has too many vehicle noobs.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Sounds like most of us in TUI are going to leave Halo 2 Vista on the shelf. We still have Halo PC and we'll stick to it.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

To be really honest, I'm kinda buying Halo 2 Vista for the single player/story experience. I missed it on Xbox, so I'll try to catch it on Vista. I'm not concerned about Windows Live Gold, because I don't need it. So I refuse to boycott, an doing such a thing is stupid because it's not hurting anyone. No game is perfect, and I wish people would understand that.
