I was just wondering if it is possible run bootcamp on my MacBook and run Halo 2 Vista, and if so, how well does multiplayer translate?
Like I said, 50/50. H2V is crappy software. It might work, it might not, it's pretty much up to chance. Garbageware is like that.
Not helpful. You just keep telling me that Halo 2 Vista is crap. If I thought that then I wouldn't be buying it. You're being just like the people who say Halo: Reach is crap. I don't care about your opinion.
I'm not being opinionated here. The software just runs terribly. The graphics are extremely unoptimized and perform worse than comparable games, you have to leave the game running for about 10 minutes before the server browser shows games, the in-game updater doesn't work, it has next to no support for newer video cards, running the game higher than 30FPS locked creates mouse movement problems, and it has compatibility problems with any OS other than Windows Vista. It's a buggy mess. That's not opinion; It's FACT.
And it's because of this FACT that it's a tossup of whether or not it will work for you. For a massive chunk of people, who have everything that they would conceivably require to run the game, it won't work. It'll have a solid blue screen instead of an install screen, it'll hitch or crash when installing the game, it'll crash on startup, the list goes on.
I know it's not what you want to hear, but I'm saying it. This port is garbageware programmed by a bunch of college dropouts and left for dead. You can go on thinking that H2V is some sort of AAA PC release with no technical problems whatsoever, but at that point, you'd just be delusional.
