hi recently purchased 2 copies of halo 2, not knowing that it was only for VISTA!!!! so i deicided to buy a new harddrive and put vista 64 bit on it then as i went to install it i relized that it was for vista 32 bit, i installed it , then ran it, it worked but when i play online it runs a bit laggy even when i got full green bars. my pc is more than capable of running the game performance wise, is there a patch or anything i can do to fix this problem besides paying more money. (also when shooting on the warthogs machine gun the animation is very choppy like its made of rubber and bending all the time is there anyway to fix that)


and also why make the game for playable on 1 OS that sounds and is completly stupid in the pc game world, PC's are NOT consoles dont limit them as if they were 1. take some time and do it RIGHT!!!!! thanks for reading hope sum1 can help

Bill,I have 32-bit Vista,Try goto settings and goto Videos,Make it to 800 x 600 on screen resolution then put it to 54z or w/e.Hook the quality to LOW.So the framerate is faster and more efficent to play.Many 32-bit Vista Users have a problem with this.

This is the best solution or just buy alot of ram.

I have vista 64 bit too, and I maxed it with no issues offline or online. Sorry I don't know what's happening, but it's not your operating system.
