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

It works with XP. Just look at GoW.

It just doesn't work with HALO 2 VISTA. :/

Not at all if you think about it. The title is called "Halo 2 VISTA".

It even says on the box: "Requires Windows VISTA".

Light is darkness

The same but apart

VISTA was the keyword in the sentence

Programatically invading forums.

Even with H2 on XP, and the new XP supported Live runtime, Halo 2 itself still will not connect to others.

Just use vista, it's a better OS anyways.

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.

What makes it better?

FASTER
Makes better use of RAM(Superfetch etc)
Great search feature
GPU accelerated GUI
Better handling of driver crashes
Ability to adjust sound levels per program
more drivers for common items
better 64bit versions(compared to XP)

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

It also kicks ass at making me jealous.

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

If oyu've got a system that can run it, Vista can put that system to great use. Using the same computer, when I boot off of my XP hard drive instead of my vista one, it feels way slower, even when I'vekilled all the background applications I can. +10-20 frames per second for most games. Also for some reason, when I try recording with fraps in XP it butchers my frame rate (single digits). Has anyone else had this problem?

I got better framerates in XP, but I do notice Fraps doesn't drag down the system as much on Vista.

I used Fraps on halo 2 and i got my frame rate into 30s and 40s when i started the program.

No it doesn't. If you buy the software you can make it work on XP if you want. You PAID for it!

EDIT: yay for uber-bumpage for a worthless post. :/

I shall also. Not only is this not legit, but you being a jackass is blowing my mind.

Even if by some far fetched reason it was, there hasn't been a ninja here since Halo PC came out. Give it up.

  • 02.19.2008 5:25 PM PDT

Lol Ryan, you miss all the Ninja sightings.
