Why is halo 2 taking up so much memory and totally raping my computer? according to task manager it takes up 654,000K, if i had more RAM it would probably take that aswell

While im hear i might as well have a rant. WTF what why cant I bind the END key and the whole thing about LIVE not recording checkpoints properlery is -blam!-. Ive had to restart levels soo many times so I can gain an acheivement. Whats with all the 360 controller -blam!- all over the place. If someone wants to use a 360 controller to play halo 2 they will play on an xbox. All the controls are so unresponsive. U have to stop, stand still and then press crouch to be able to crouch. The graphics are total cack and u still need a £1000000 computer to play it. And its 3 years late or something. Also wtf happened to co-op play. And generally the whole games for windows thing is the biggest crock of -blam!- ive ever heard of, paying to play a game online. who the hell came up with that idea. The sensitiivity of the mouse cant be put high enough which means i cant shoot for -blam!-. On the back of the case it says enhanced for windows vista. LOL. Its a bout as enhanced for vista as my arse. I wud take the original halo over halo 2 anyday of the week. Also wtf, to make NPCs get out of vehicles u have to hold E, and u cant even change it.

If ure gonna release a game 3 years late at least make a good job of it...

Does that mean you can't run the game at all? Just a reminder, the requirements listed on the box are just that: "system requirements." They are not a reflection of the recommended settings needed in order to run the game at optimal levels. You should be able to, though, at least run the game if your machine contains all the necessary required components. Maybe it's your video card RAM that isn't up to par, rather than your system RAM. In many cases, as one might expect, the recommended spec's are very much higher than that of required spec's.

What are the specs on your pc?

cpu
ram
vid card

There are some tweaks you can perform to vista that will free memory, cpu and help with graphics.

Heres a simple answer. If you don't like it, then don't play it.

*hands Kim a crowbar*
Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

User error 100%

To expand:
-almost everyone I know that play doesn't have a problem with the mouse being slow. It is usually a per user setting(you).
-Who cares if it takes up over 600 megabytes, 2 gigabytes has been common for gaming PCs for years now.
-Live records achievements just fine for many people, if it doesn't work you have deeper problems.
-I have no time owning certain controller players, the controller doesn't make you good.
-the stopping and crouching is meant to exist, it's in the xbox version too.
-Your computer is garbage, upgrade it.

Go play halo pc.

It's not 3 years late. H2 was created for the xbox. It is simply a port for the PC, H3 will more than likely be the same way.

Yeah, I'd be pissed about that if I played games on PC. The whole thing is a joke, you'd be better off leaving it from what I can gather.

lmfao, I must say, this thread is a wast, so what if it takes up 7gigs, maybe you should get a bigger hard drive, or at lest READ THE SPECS ON THE BACK OF THE BOX. that's the only thing that was useful in your post, the rest of it, is mostly ranting about bugs that's been pointed out to the guys who ported the game, Hired Gun, Bungie made Halo 2, but it wasn't ported by them. all of the Xbox look to it is abit stupid. and as for people with Xbox 360 controllers playing Halo 2 Xbox, maybe they don't have a xbox any more, or maybe they do, but they want the custom maps, or something.
Oh, and I don't think they ever said they'll have co op in H2V, and this is what I have to say...
I did not get Halo 2 Vista to play SP and Co Op all the time, I save that kind of thing for when I have no internet, or when I really want to kill some AIs. So stop ranting about no Cc Ops.
and guy, you can change the key lay out, you just have to know how.
and you guys are all ranting about having to pay $7.99 for a month of Creating Custom games, match making, and quick Match making. why not just play for free? ya you don't get all of the stuff, but so what, you can still play MP, you have to have alest a silver acount to play custom games.
