my roflknife goes sliceslicesliceslice

I spoke with Microsoft today about Halo 2 only being for Vista. After talking with them they told me that actually Halo 2 Vista can instal and work on XP. I told them that that seems a bit inaccurate so they redirected me to the order desk. they too told me it couldnt instal and run on Xp even though it does not specifically say it can. They told me i can get Halo 2 and if I can't run it return it to them for a full refund. So I decided to go for it and ordered halo 2. Either way have to get Vista anyway. I was told most of the game Microsoft are going to sell are going to be Vista only. So When I get halo 2 I am going to try to instal it on Vista and will post if I actually can get it working. Of course I know working does not necisarily mean working well. If I do get it working i will post my game tag to prove i can infact play it on XP. If i get it working I will make a video showing me starting Halo 2 up on XP.

ROFL. Must have been one of their outsourced "tech" call centers in India.
You know, the same ones who don't even try to enforce product activation, they just give you a key if you call.

Sarcasm? If not, allow me to explain: He's basically stating that Microsoft actually told him that Halo 2 Vista will work fine on XP.

Um, no. What about Satan? What about the demons which inhabit Hell? They believe in Jesus. They know who he is. Does that mean they're not in hell?

That's not true. So are you saying, by example if you believe in Jesus, and I do not then I can go to Heaven? Just a friendly pointer.

Nice comeback. However, this thread is RAPIDLY flying off-topic.

This thread just gave me an idea; we need a mod point system so that we can mod down these crazy threads whenever they appear. Microsoft states that Halo 2 Vista will work more or less flawlessly on Windows XP? No.

Agreed, or we can click a little button that instantly beeps a moderator to go into this thread and see what the problem is and fix the problem.

Make sure nobody else is in your home to hear your scream, because I think it's probably going to happen this week, if not this day.

Well the previous poster is right, you most likely spoke with some camel jockey's, and they have no clue as to what will run the game.

From here people have tried to run it on XP and no joy.

But if you got the $40 to blow and feel like waiting till you upgrade to shizzitvista... go for it.

Once you get vista you can rock the tool bars and aero, they are almost as much fun as a tooth filling.

But you will still need the upgrade to play, but you are not missing much, the online community is full of great great people, all 200 of them....

OK I write a thread about Microsoft telling me you can use Halo 2 with XP. Why is some posters talking about religion? Then someone starts talking about moderators. What does any of that have to do with the topic of the thread?

You know, I would much rather talk about religion than this bull -blam!- that you people bring up every 20 seconds of the day on these forums.

Sorry, but if Halo 2 Vista really did work on XP, why is this the first we've heard about it? Either no ones actually taken the time to try it (which I doubt), or whoever it was you talked to just fed you a fat steaming load of BS.

1. Was it really that hard to follow?
2. If you believe that Halo 2 for Vista actually runs on XP, then by all means go "play" it. Just stop clogging up the forums with this nonsense.

Or the far more likely alternative: he has just fed us a fat steaming load of BS.

Not that this is surprising...

And to bring this debate to a grinding end, here is a screenshot of H2V running on XP:

Yeah it is possible they were simply feeding me a fat steaming load of BS. If i am going to have to buy vista anyway I may as well try it.
