The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.
remember this gem from a Bungie Ninja?

It works for me.
That's right, I'm running Halo 2 Vista under Windows XP. Sorry, Microsoft, your cynical cash grab has failed. I've paid for the game and it's mine, but I can't plunk down a cool thousand for a copy of Vista and the hardware upgrades I'd need in order to run it. With this loader thingy, I can run Halo 2 with playable framerates and not bankrupt myself in the process.
That said, I'm surprised I paid so much for this thing. The UI is a straight copypasta of the XBox version's and poorly suited to pointing and clicking. There is also far too much dependence on Live and online functions; I still haven't gotten the activation wizard to work. The maximum mouse sensitivity setting isn't high enough.
It's almost as if Microsoft acknowledges the presence of only two types of user: super casual and bleeding edge. If you're super casual, you play Halo 2 on the XBox. If you're bleeding edge, you play Halo 2 on Windows Vista. If you're anything else, you don't exist.
I am starting to lose patience.
