i got one word for you DISCONTINUED yea that whats happening to XP so why would they a patch for a system thats scheduled to be DISCONTINUED in about a year. so it does'nt make to much sence for them to make a patch for an out dated system.

This is almost like begging for Halo 3 to be on the first Xbox - sure that's a bad comparison, but you get the idea.

It's a new operating system - Microsoft loves money, and they know you love Halo.

Is it really so bad to have this game on Vista? Come on, seriously. The OS is fine, if you'll pay $50 for a 3 year old game, I think you can handle paying $200 for an OS that is better than XP anyways. If you don't have this kind of money, you are most likely a kid with no job and you shouldn't be playing games like this anyway. If you're not a kid and you still don't have this money, then you should be getting a job instead of complaining about games you couldn't afford in the first place.

WOW. Another 6 year old whining about H2 going to Vista. GTFO.

Seriously, if your mommy and daddy are not buying you the Vista OS, that means you shouldn't even be on the family computer. They're probably afraid with all the new features, you'll accidently download a spyware from all the Barney .jpg files you get from google.

Pretty much what I said, but with moar bash style awesome. I must fix your Barney section though. The correct answer was:

"You'll accidentally download spyware from all the "special browsing" you do at night."

1. What, can't afford Windows Vista? Mommy and daddy won't buy it for you?

2. Windows XP will eventually become discontinued--Vista is the next operating system; it's the future. You're going to upgrade eventually.

3. Halo 2 Vista is integrated into the Live service, and Games for Windows Live can only be allowed for Windows Vista.

4. Bungie doesn't care about PC gamers in regards to Halo. Even if they did, they probably wouldn't, shouldn't, and couldn't (care) to make a patch for Halo 2 to work on XP.

5. Learn grammar need you.

6. This topic has been done to death; leave it alone already.

So how is H2 on Vista? How does it compare with the Xbox version? Is there any cool new content? Halo PC had some cool new vehicles and weapons that made it a worthwhile purchase even though I played Xbox Halo to death. I've played the crap out of the Xbox version of H2, and I am wondering if it is worth getting the Vista version.

Four very truthful words:
Because Microsoft decided to.

Really, that's all ya need to know. Microsoft decided Games for Windows - Live games were going to be Vista only, so Shadowrun and H2V are Vista only.

The Microsoft complaints department is that way ----------------->

It's, essentially, the exact same game with most of the bonus maps. In fact, all of the interfaces still have the Xbox controller buttons listed as menu navigation. The biggest difference (excluding the somewhat tweaked textures, adjustable resolution differences, and Keyboard/Mouse support) is that multiplayer doesn't have ranked matchmaking, just Quickmatch, custom match search, create a match and server browser. It really is just a direct port with Games for Windows - Live put on top of it with Achievements added.

I enjoy it, but compared to the xbox version, they're practically the same minus, of course, the multiplayer "matchmaking", as mentioned above.

No prob. Honestly, if you have the Xbox version, there's not much of a compelling reason to spend 50 bucks on the PC version unless you REALLY want to play it with KB/M or unless you really want achievements. I'm an achievement whore and halo junkie so I figured what the hell. Kinda wish I hadn't, now, but oh well.. what can I do.

Just so you know, using the $ in Microsoft's name is so late-1990s when they were being sued.

All it does now is make you look like an idiot. Don't like Microsoft? Fine. Go learn Linux or buy a Mac. Buy a PS3 and a Wii. Since everywhere you post Microsoft's name (points at The Flood), you use the $ instead, I suggest you go make yourself at home at ZDNet with all the rest of the moronic "Anything But Microsoft" zealots.
