Do you know anything about computers or are you such an apple fanboy that you really believe vista is bad?

first of all i have an older comp runing xp and a new mac runing 10.4
2end of all atm i think that vista is not a good operating system in the least and yes i do know quite a bit about computers
i was stating that no i would not like to run vista on my mac for it lags take up space and altho i love halo is a large explence for one game

now if you are done trying to start a fight pless take your comets some ware elss or if that is not good enough for you stick then up your ass

any way back onto the topic of halo 2 for mac i was was reading some things about new games coming out for macs and i found some interesting things (gears of war, need for speed, and battle field 2142) but to my disapointment i fond nothing about the popular game F.E.A.R now reading through a differnt forums it was stated that part of teh game caled "Havoc" (i think its the physics engine) wold be very hard to port and was demed to hard to port to mac so im wonering if any thing like that might be/will stop halo 2 from being ported over or is it just be simpaly deemed not cost effective
and as for vista i hope that it becomes beter but atm i would rater not use it

Good god, that's hard to read. And what are comets? Is that some new term for opinions or something?

Anyways, yeah, it nice that those games are coming (Gears of War confuses me, isn't it supposed to be a GFWL title?) But yeah, H2V also runs under the Havok engine. However, Halo 1 does, too, and it got ported. I dunno.

If they made H2V for Mac, I'd buy it. It would be so much more stable.

Gee, and here I was thinking that comets were balls of snow hurtling through space.

Can we please try to get past the fact that this guy is in obvious need of a dictionary, and focus more on his misunderstanding of computer business?

Microsoft won't make a Halo 2 Mac version because, surprise surprise, Mac is Microsofts main competitor. Let me put it this way, would Ford give Honda a car and say "Sell that for us and keep the money, we don't care!"? Sounds pretty stupid eh?

Yes, sure you do. I guess it's just the keyboard that gives you problems then?

This kid makes me ashamed to be Canadian...

It will, if not by microsoft, then by Macsoft and Gearbox.

  • 10.01.2007 12:52 PM PDT

Hello! Star Wars FTW. Also, join the MAW group. Please?

Microsoft would still have to approve the making of the port if someone else made it, and I doubt they would.

Halo 2 Vista will NOT come to mac because it's using Live, which Microsoft isn't going to give to macs.

H2V was used to promote Vista, to put it on to another OS would reduce the number of people buying either an Xbox (360) or Vista to play Halo 2 and so does not make marketing sense.
