Simple answer: No

Reason: Your laptop runs on an unsupported GPU. H2V only supports nvidia and ATI.

Halo Is the best!!!!!!!!!!!

yep your gpu is not going to let you play halo 2 pc. Sorry

Your CPU is too slow too play it effectively too

It doesn't need an nvidia or ATI card as long as its fast enough.

Ok, well the CPU speed meets the mininum, but the Celeron part is way out of date. A laptop that comes wiht a Core 2 Duo should be pretty cheap. And don't worry if the Core 2 Duo is 1.7GHz or something, that should be perfectly fine.

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*

Ugh, don't just look at the CPU and forget the rest of the computer. that processor is more than capable of playing the game. What won't let him play is that lack of a gpu.

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.

I disagree with the CPU being sufficient. I tried it on a 2.6 Mhz quad core w/ GeForce 8800 and it sucked, especially on maps like Turf and District.

It's a problem with the game, not the processor.

The CPU isn't even relevant since the GPU is whats holding him back.

Playing a game witha Celeron processor? Thats like playing Crysis Max with a GeForce 8600
More like both holding him back. Any great graphics card paired up with a sucky CPU is still not so great

the cpu is good enough to run halo 2 maybe not on max but on medium most likely but its the gpu that wont allow him to play halo 2. yes its not that great of a cpu but good enogh for halo 2.

I don't know how you expected a 2.6 Mhz processor to even run windows. :p
