Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

No one really plays this game, and it's the only game besides Shadowrun to require Vista. I'm not using Vista for a while either, going to go back to XP.

Does anyone know if Gamestop buys PC games?

I don't need this game anymore, as I'm looking into getting a 360 in August.

Dude, there's plenty of other PC games to play. What, have you only been playing H2V up until now?

So, you're making drama about leaving a game that no one really cares about? You're trolling no one, really.

I'm broke, the only other game I have right now is Counter-Strike Source and UT3, and no one even plays UT.

I was half expecting the noobs here to congratulate me for doing so, but I guess they don't really read threads anymore.

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.

Well vincent, I don't blame you for moving away from Halo 2. There are lots of reasons to do so.

I would buy halo 2 PC if you didn't need crappy vista for it, becuase halo 2 was a great game i my opinion.

I don't think Gamestop buys used PC games anymore. I remember something in the news that it's now illegal to buy a used computer program, because of piracy issues.

I may be wrong, this is a vague memory I'm going off of here.

Can't they just smack down a new CD key and remove the old one?

Not really. Sometimes the key is in the booklet.



Well I can't really get rid of the game, and I'll probably reinstall Vista when I get a new hard drive (I was hurting for space). But I don't see the community getting full until years from now when this game is $20 and everyone is running it on Windows 7.

I don't get it, Vista is actually very good. I don't see all the fuss.


It's the internet, trust me. The internet takes any annoyance and amplifies it by 1000% and then it spreads to people that never had an informed opinion. Bottom line, just as many people whined about XP for the first couple of years. Now everyone acts like XP was developed by Jesus himself.

The main problem Halo fans have with Vista is that they'd be forced to change OS, which alone is enough to start 30,000 diatribes in a forum. I mean, it's not like any of you had to buy a new Xbox or anything to play Halo 3. lol

Last time I checked, Halo 3 hasn't been made for PC yet. Halo 1 and 2 were both on the xbox. Halo 2 could've been made for XP no problem, but they wanted to sell Vista and thought "Hey, this game is pretty popular on Xbox, I bet we could make it Vista exclusive and tons of people will buy Vista too!!!" Except the average PC user is smarter than the average console user and they said "No thanks, I don't feel like buying a brand new OS just to play a half-assed port of a 3 year old game."
