My Halo 3/ODST Fileshare, come take a look! It's much better than my Reach fileshare. Oh and to let you know Devil Dog80 was my old gamertag.

If you love taking screenshots, come join Mythic Photographers!

My favorite band is Metallica

Is there a way to play Halo 2 PC without windows vista? Like a patch?

I remember a year ago looking into this myself when I had xp. I do believe there is a way to do it. Has something to do with one of those xp programs that runs like a vista window and you run the game through that. How you get that I don't know though, sorry.

Don't bother trying to run this on Windows XP, the least you will get is campaign running in offline mode.

The people who were supposed to patch it up for XP, apparently they sucked, I mean really really sucked.

It is best to get Windows Vista or Windows 7, in order to play online.

you could play it on Windows 7 ;)

But yea, like Shock120 said. There is an XP Patch that allows you to play on Windows XP obviously but you would only be able to play campaign, no online play at all :(.

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

Get windows 7. If you play on 7, you get online too!

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

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.

I was able to get the campaign to work on XP with a patch, but was never successful in getting multiplayer to work. I believe it has something to do with the Windows live system.
