Indeed, this question has been asked many, many times before.

But to answer your question, yes, it works on Windows 7.

Does it go faster than a vista would? I'm getting Halo 2 PC for ma laptop and it doesn't seem to go fast with star wars the force unleashed. I mean, it goes extremely slow, like, someone put a stop-motion in X4 slow motion. It's absolutely terrible. do you think H2V will go any faster on my windows 7 laptop?

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

Probably. But your OS doesn't determine your framerate your games run at, unless your PC is really old.

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

No. Vista and Win7 are virtually identical in performance. What really matters is your graphics chipset, cpu, etc. The other big factor is that H2 Vista was not ported well and doesn't run well on machines that far exceed the recommended specs. Bad 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.

You sure about that? Cause I went from Vista 32-bit to Win7 64-bit on the exact same hardware, and noticed a sizable boost in gaming performance. Though that could be simply because I went from a 32-bit OS to a 64-bit OS, but other people are reporting the same thing while switching from 32-to-32 or 64-64.

It was the same for me too, from 64 vista to 64 7. No big boost.
As for h2v, it's a crap port. On my ATI 5650 on my laptop, I get 60FPS on cod4 maxed out at 1366x768, but halo 2 lags a lot and stutters on high at 1280x720 while looking like an Xbox 1 game.
