Halo 2, why cant you release it on windows xp? You released halo 1 on windows xp. Why cant you make the graphics or whatever you need to do to make it like when it happened it halo 1? You would earn more money. No more complaints, except for the bugs and glitches, but that could be fixed by patches. Whats wrong with halo 2 being on windows xp? Is it the graphics? Is it the version? I know it is currently not available, probably won't be released, but you could at least try to make halo 2 on windows xp. It would satisfy hundreds or thousands of people.

Please respond, thank you for you reply.

It's kind of the same as making a really awesome game for a new console that just came out, that no one is really all that thrilled about. It's a way to get people to buy the console.

I want Halo 2 on Windows XP


And I want a flying motorcycle with Sidewinder missiles that shoot out of the gas tank!. It's not happening. Not now, not EVER. All you're doing is wasting your time, and our time with your bellyaching. Either suck it up and buy the OS, or buy an Xbox 360. It'll cost about the same anyways.

It is coming... but not officially

July 2007

Might get it to see if it'll improve performance by running it on XP

25fps on Vista? It ruins it!!!!!

I honetly don't think they will get the API, and correct files to work correctly. Besides, that's along time, and a lot of cash to put into something that will benefit very few. And that's not even including the updates that occur.

I already joined 1367 others last year to put Halo 2 on XP by voting. I don't see why it's so hard, the coding should already be close to XP version anyways, plus, it's either upgrade your computer to play on XP, or upgrade your computer AND buy vista and put up with its crap (I've used vista before) for more money. I just pointing out from a consumer point of view, I use Halo PC for custom edition, machima and all sorts of things, why not Halo 2?

Would it be possible that it would work better on XP?

I'm sick of getting crappy framerates on a 3 year old game!!!!!!!
It's ridiculous.... There's no excuse for such shoddy porting unless it's due to Vista... In which case I'll buy Falling Leaf's "Patch"

No, the game was just ported badly. All other games I have play no differently on Vista than they do on XP.

Yes I did... But if you read the website you will see that they already have preview builds of alky availible for download... and they have Halo 2 and Shadowrun running on XP in house... Just tidying up at the moment I guess

XP doesn't feature all of the Windows Live options. That's why it WON'T WORK.
