Im a Bungie veteran. I have and always will serve them well.

I can see H2V becoming more popular from the release of Windows 7. Since people will get rid of Vista and upgrade to Windows 7, H2V might have more people playing. Any thoughts?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. If you said XP to 7 I wouldn't consider you an idiot. People on Vista, there NOTHING STOPPING THEM FROM PLAYING THE GAME. The only reason why people don't play it, is because it's a piece of -blam!- GAME

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

As LoneStaruner said, the Vista requirement isn't the reason why H2V isn't popular. It's not popular because the game is crap. Playing it on a different OS won't make the game any better.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Acutially, it is partially the vista lock, which people like the infamous amazon drm haters said was locking it with drm (they made up BS about vista having extra drm than XP).

But it also had bugs, so people shortly went back to Halo PC/CE and other PC games.

I indeed hope so, maybe the Halo 1 modding community will move on.
seriously, how old do they have to be before they realise Halo 1 CE has no more potential (without source).

Halo 2 Vista is just waiting to have modded maps made, and waiting for them to study the tag structure of h2v maps.
they're also soo stupid to not know that Halo 2 has better mods than Halo 1 can ever do.
maybe Zteam and cmt could port Halo 3 tags to halo 2

Hey captain seriously you don't have to sacrifice yourself to kill the scarab. Their actually pretty easy to kill. You just have to jump in the back and shoot this little light. Remember captain from training where they showed us how to kill it? Captain... CAPTAIN... oh god damn it seriously?

Vista takes up about 500mb to 1gb of ram so it could be better? I don't think that bit of ram would help much. I don't think vistas that bad except for all the friggen updates and its incompatibility with some older programs and games.

My Vista gaming PC runs any game better than an Xbox 360 could.

Stop blaming the OS for your shortcomings.

the game isnt bad, its very fun to play it, its not like halo 1 or halo 3, its a bit different that makes it so good. and there is already enough ppl playing it, its not dieing out game with 20 players, I know halo 3 has huge amout of ppl playing it, but comparing these games arent right.

I indeed hope so, maybe the Halo 1 modding community will move on.

there already is few ppl that makes cutom weapons for halo 2 vista. but just few, it would be nice if mapmakers from hce comunity would come to h2v. but for now we have to wait on those that already know how to make custome weapons,
you can make custome tags, like creates, but they wont have colision, so it still has lots of work to unlock h2v editing kit.
hmm. yeah so if this does happen.
I'll release the Co-op campaign maps, that I have.

there already public and anyone can get them, but no one plays them becouse there is spawning issue, I know that there is tool that can spawn you, but then again chaimpaing is ment to be played alone
