Microsoft wants money, so by making it Vista only, people will have to buy Vista. Giving Microsoft more money.

Posted by: UnReaL L0neWulf
its stupid and pointless!!!

but anyone knows why other than Vista is the new thing


so people have a reason to buy vista

There is a forum for Halo 1 and 2 PC (but Bungie stuck it way in the back of the website, so It's very hard to see), so this is going to be locked because this is the Halo 3 forum. And as for Halo 2 Vista being only on Vista, it was a despite plea for people to buy the disaster that is called Windows Vista. Now Microsoft want's to do one of the many things that screwed Windows Vista up (the dozens of different versions), and yet make another Xbox 360. Who knows, maybe Xbox 360 is going the way Vista went.

Before this is moved, go to halomaps.org, they have something that can allow you to play it on Windows XP.

You can play it on XP. The download is a DirectX 10 emulator or something like that.

Wouldn't doubt it. It is actually a user created patch someone made, so it's legal, but it really doesn't matter anyway. It isn't like the FBI will show up on your doorstep for converting a game's operating system. People actually do it a lot. While we are in the topic, can we use CE in Vista?

Long live the Last Refuge!

why do people hate vista so much it's a great OS and I've had no proplems with it.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

You answered your own question in the title. ;)

OH Gawd YOU NEED GAWD

Directx 10 isnot used AT ALL in Halo 2. It can be run on XP but we do not discuss how to do it, not to mention you will lose multiplayer.

Aj you and I were the first 2 no noobs in here :S

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Because it's slow as crap compared to XP on dated computers?

It's the forced upgrade thing. Forcing people to buy new hardware for the new OS so we can send old computers to landfills. GNU/Linux proves that you don't need a super fast computer to run a decent OS.
