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

The patch you want is called "Windows Vista."

Hence the title of the game "Halo 2 for Windows Vista."

Alternatively, you could download a trial of Windows 7 and play it on there.

Not one that lets you connect to Games for Windows Live and play online and get achievements.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Not sure how legal it is, but do a search on youtube, I remember there being something there.
I don't know if H2V gets support any more anyway. If you do patch it for XP, however, you will not be able to access the multiplayer or get any achievements. Campaign works fine though.

I've been using Vista for a little under two years now, and for all its problems, is a fairly stable OS with good features and excellent support.
