Need air support?

Before I get it, I want to ask if I can run it decently. I am getting it only for the campaign.
Specs:

Win 7 x64
AMD 4X 810 quad-core
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Integrated

I know my GPU is pretty bad, I am in the process of getting in replaced.

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.

H2 has some problems with Win7 for most people.

I'm not exactly sure. I don't buy crappy games. But a quick peruse through this board's threads or some use of the search function will provide more detailed answers.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

Well, I could run the Halo 2 campaign on my Dell Dimension with less than half the specs you have (Granted, with windows XP). Your computer will not be the problem. If you have issues it will be due to the poor nature of H2V.

No guarantees, but you "should" be able to run it fine.

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

I never had a problem with Halo 2 Vista and Windows 7, worked fine for me.

Although I was playing on 32bit, so I don't know if you will run into any issues on 64 bit.

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

"Live gaming on windows failed to initialize"
There are some fixes on the internet, but sometimes they don't work.

You can run h2v on low-medium playable with that.

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

Honestly, if you have an Xbox, and all you want to do is play the campaign, I would avoid the PC version of H2 and get the Xbox version.

For the record I have both. H2v isn't a good port at all, in fact, it is a very bad port.

Well, I just placed my order. I hope when I get it, it works.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

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

If I say you can play Halo 2, therefore you can.
Don't ask the internet for permission, when it is within your right to play any game, no matter how crappy it is.
