I don't understand it, I have to put everything on low with no AA and it still is all catchy. I can play games like oblivion at 50 FPS on high settings, COD4 40 fps, high settings Crysis at 20 FPS yet it won't play freaking H2. Anyone have this problem before?

I'm there but, man this is really starting to sound like communism.
Long live the MAW.

Halo 2 Vista's port to the PC was done by monkeys with computers. It has insane requirements for what it delivers, which is mediocrity.

Just a note, have you tried lowering the resolution?

Ok, thankyou. Yes, I started playing at 1680x1050 and then put it down to 1280x720. Got slightly better.

I'm pretty sure Monkeys could have done better than Hired Fail

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Pretty good PC, this is all I have to offer man:
Halo 2 Vista Main Menu>Settings>Video>
Lower Resolution, Level of Detail: Low, and try running it in Windowed.

I do this on a Dell Inspiron Laptop and it runs -blaming- Perfect! A Laptop! No problems at all.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Your computer is fine for H2v. I can almost guarantee that the "catchy" frame rate problem you are experiencing is a combination of mouse lag and also mediocre frame rate. The game doesn't play smooth regardless of hardware. It was a crap port.
