Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

The major problem is, the release of Halo 2 for Vista was strictly a ploy by Microsoft schemers to convince people to buy Vista. I think it was planned from the beginning to put as little time, money and effort into the port as possible. Doing anything more would negate the money made from tricking people into buying Vista in the first place. It's really sad to see Halo 2 used in this evil way.

Microsoft says, if there is enough people on H2V,
they'll support it again, and release an update, which will be applied to Halo 2 Vista, Halo 2 Vista Server and Halo 2 Editing Kit.
Details of the update are:
Online Co-op
Major revamp of the netcode
Halo 3 gametypes added
Servers and clients to have console commands
Optimize graphics more efficiently
fix "joining" game lag
dynamic detail update of the game browser.
more variety of tags in the H2EK.

lol.
If they are serious, then lets get on. I haven't played my H2V in months because it needs major cleanup. If more people on it is what it takes then lets make it happen people. (For those who think Microsoft isn't serious my reply is that their is only one way to find out!)

*Edit: source of this information would be nice.*

Facepalm. He was making a sarcastic remark about all the features the game is missing and how few people still play it. In short, he was joking. Won't happen, ever.
lol. ='(

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Say your right, how many people are required to start playing halo 2 vista again for them to finally re start their support of it.

None. Seriously, as nice as it would be, Microsoft and Bungie are focused on the now, not the 4 years ago.

Very true, plus they in it for the money and not for the veteran players.

Halo 2 Vista was shot dead and kicked out, and sold onto us.
No one will ever support it. ='(

They don't even support their own game.
It will be on the marketplace when the super update is released (one I mentioned a few posts back)
