@Flood Monster:
Not. Gonna. Happen.

The only positive thing which would happen if H2V was on XP would be more people playing multiplayer.
That's about it.

But since the default servers are all capped at 16 players, that might not be so positive.

Halo 2, why cant you release it on windows xp?

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.

-TGP-

true good honest man. But from what ive heard halo2 vista is actually really unbalanced compared to the console version. so Halo 2 xbox is the best.

That's what you get for reading any thread on any game, ever. I still laughed though.

So true. Seriously.

These forums are tame compared to the hell that is the WoW forums over at Blizzard. If you wanna feel your IQ drop, go read those gems as it'll do the trick quite nicely.

Also, on the WC3 forums over there, you need a CD-key, so you have to buy the game to use the forums. Every time i see one of these threads, 99% of the time, i know it's spam, walk away, sleep, come back, almost pass out when i read it, log off, and log off for the rest of the day. I don't care if H2 is on Vista, ill buy it when i want to, and XP is the

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.


EXACTLY WTF WAS BUNGIE THINKING! ALMOST EVERYONE NOW HAVE WINDOWS XP AND ALOT OF US HAD WHERE WE LOVED IT (INCLUDING ME) THEN WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR (HALO 2) CAME!...........THE LAST WORK TO COME WHICH WAS "VISTA" WE WERE A RIOT "WTF IT ON VISTA" VISTA COSTS $100 AND THE THE CHEEPEST AND YET I DONT WANT CRAP ON MY PC YET I HAD TO SO I GOT IT AND TO FIND LIKE THE OTHER DISSPAPOINTED IT SUCKED!!! LAGGED TO MUCH ($20 ITHINK FOR XBOX LIVE GOLD) DIDDNT MIND BECAUSE I PLAY WITH THAT GAMERTAG ON HE 360 NOW BUT JAGGY MOVIES LONG WAIT TIMES AND PUTTING ON VISTA NMADE US EVEN HAPPIER(SARCASTIC) U WOULD HAVE TO BE RETARTED (GREAT JOB ON HALO 3 BTW) TO PUT IT ON VISTA SECURITY SUCKS ON THERE I ALREADY GOT HACKED! I BET YOUR USING WIN XP'S AT THE OFFICE WHILE WE SUFFER WITH VISTA! I'VE MADE MY STATEMENT

Here, have a hit of this. If you use this, then retype your post, there is a remote possibility that perhaps I might read your post. Maybe.

Hey, I was looking for a depressant, not a lobotomy.

Also, clearly the rules of grammar says that people who capitalise their sentences properly are usually less flamed than people who don't. Therefore capitalising every letter makes their sentences INFLAMMABLE!!!

(Yes. I meant inflammable.)

Any news on the XP H2 patch?

I messed up on the guys quote so forgive me but heres what i have to say.

point #1 XP is going to be discontinued soon so theirs no point for putting h2 on XP and point number #2 if vista is lagging on your computer its probably your computer thats the problem. by the way what inernet protection were you using when you got hacked.

Yeah, except Halo 2 Vista isn't a "really awesome game" for a new operating system. An old port of an Xbox title will not get the Game of the Year award on the PC, and Microsoft doesn't need a port of a game that's over three-years-old to sell their new operating system.

On a side note, holy crap, another ninjerator appeared in the Maw!
