If you are able to run H2 Vista on any laptop right now it's going to need to be very high end or run the very lowest settings.

I can run h2v on my 2 year old laptop on max settings.

Just because a computer is a year or two (or even three) old doesn't mean it can't run a program designed a year ago. I bought my PC in 2005 and I can run Oblivion and Half-Life 2 just fine. Sure it doesn't look as snazzy as it could with a brand new rig but it runs well enough.

I have to concur.

I have slightly weaker computer and Halo1 runs fine. Didn't bother with Halo2 as Halo1 is just enough.

I did the Can You Run it test however, and it says I could play Halo2, slightly above barely.

Woah, I thought I replied to this this thread.

Anyways, I have a laptop with a much weaker card, a Radeon Xpress 200m, and it can just barely run Halo 2 Vista. You'll be fine.

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

Do NOT buy anything like that from BB. They will disable any built in warrenties so that you have to buy their's.

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.

My girlfriend bought her Gateway laptop from there and still had the manufacturer's warranty. She had to send it in because the CD drive was faulty and busted on her.

Well, they did that to my Uncle's laptop that had a Sony warrenty program on the laptop.

And they sold my mom's cousin a used desktop and then wiped the HDD when she brought it back and told them that. Deleting pictures of her grandkids that couldn't be replaced.

Be warned: the graphics chip probably saps system memory off of the 3GB RAM so that the video chip has graphics memory. I believe that's what the hyper memory is.

It should it ru n it good. My PC just barely surpasses the graphical requirement, and it runs good as long as I turn off a lot of settings, lower res, and put everything on low, bu -blam!- still looks pretty darn good and runs nice except for cutscenes where a whole lot of stuff is going on-screen, because apparently it all runs real-time.

Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth in single combat. And Morgoth came.

Halo 1's engine should be easy for any computer, but halo 2 would require a very good laptop.
