ohk a few questions:
1. Is windows Vista out yet?.If so how much does it cost
2.so this isnt yur final "next project" you r still working on something else?
EDIT
oops sorry for double post uhm i recall u guys saying you were not making halo 2 for the pc but i guess ur making alot of people happy by doing this so good work.

and alot of you guys r missing the point if you dont have the money maybe dont sell everything for a vista? Bungies next project hopefuly will most likely still be on the 360.

KARATE!!!

I hope you don't make it cross platfrom over live. The cheating on the pc version is going to be awful when compared to the cheating that went on over live. I wouldn't mind being able to play it over a network though.

Hmm, another failure just like Halo PC. I wonder if they'll ever stop trying to screw ppl over for hundreds$$$

I think its stupid to make Halo 2 for windows Vista. Why should everyone have to pay 300 dollars to up grade their system or buy a new computer when Halo 2 would run fine on windows XP. Its just another way for them to advertise their product for Microsoft. If it was released for PC there would also be more ways for people to cheat and mod. Its already killed the game for the xbox, how do you think it will work on a computer?

Acting like pre and post pubescent idiots who feel confident behind Internet anonymity? Even though it's applicable to the majority of our members, we ask that they not do that here.

I just hope that Microsoft has learned from linux because the family of XP's hasn't been promising to anybody.

I really hope Vista is something better and more stable than XP Home or Pro.

I am just hoping and wishing and praying that it will have sweet features that will make it better than any PC game on the Market...and finally people can stop crying about getting for the PC. *Hallejulah!*

I haven't bought a 360 and I don't think I'm going to now. Whats the point. They'll release Halo3 for both PC and 360 I bet around the same time. Too many games go multiconsole/PC. There's a reason people buy specific consoles, exclusive games. Whoever made the decision to go this aproach is an idiot and should be fired.

It is a marketing ploy, sell Halo 2 PC by the millions & Vista to those who don't have it...which is likely to be millions. *money...cha-ching!*

Just another crappy way of m$ to grab our money!!!


I know down the road i would get vista and all but now you probably have to buy a new pc because your old machine won't have enuff memory cpu will be too low and all so you gotta get a new rig basically. DUMB if you ask me you are better off going to buy the xbox360 and you will be able to play halo 2 right away and also Halo 3 when it comes out and not have to wait a couple of years to get the pc port. M$ is thinking with their wallets on this one i say..... why well they know some people don't have xbox 360 and then they will grab the pc owners who want to play the game but don't wanna buy the 360 but guess what the os is probably gonna be high priced .....again it is better to buy the 360 cause you can play halo 2 and halo 3 and halo 4 and so on....


It is just a damn shame that m$ is so powerfull and that it won't change....always the wallet first then the fans. Even if we lobby to get an xp port it probably won't happen... we should throw tomatoes at bill gates to show him that there is a real world out there and not everybody can afford wahtever he wants when he wants it !!!! It is like blizzard and the starcraft community they just don't really care about the starcraft community and really pi$$ on the starcraft fans by not answering their demands. Nobody will be able to give a good reason on why it cannot be an xp port....i would probably get an answer well there is some components that will only work with vista ..... GUYS Epic is making unreal 2007 and last i heard i will not be a Vista OS exclusive game,,,there is a lot of overjoyed fans here but they are polite but seriously you guys should go on the real boards and see some reactions...some people are really not impressed by this dare i say moneymaking decision....you are letting a lot of fans down and on top of that just delaying your own profit cause not alot of people will want to get vista to play halo 2......sure down the road maybe but not right away..even companies will not move their OS so fast like M$ would want to...there are too many consideration when moving to a new OS that you have to think about.


If you want to think the Bill Gates way fine by me but gonna ( censored ) to be you when you get your first quarter revenue chart for halo 2 and see that it was not that brilliant of a move....

I am a big fan of halo instead of all that crap by your company and BIG M$ i will simply go out and buy an xbox360 and bid my time for halo 3...wich now will probably won't come out anytime soon since now this seems to be the priority....

You can always upgrade RAM and stuff without buying an entirely new computer. It wouldn't cost much. And building a good/decent computer would only run you about 800 - 1200 dollars depending on what you want and where you get your parts. Don't say that it is out of reach...I think Vista is the way to go anyways.

my main concern is for the custom content the last thing i wanna see is a optional aftermarket download to make it possible for people to play custom maps, like was the case for haloce although i do prefere this to no custom content at all, I would also like to see what is done with the whole cheating thing because of the easy modability of a pc based game.

but back to the custom content, I basically spend most of my free time makeing custom maps for haloce with the HEK, I would like to see something openended like that again, but maybe also something simpler like halflife 2's hammer, it would be amazingly awsome if you could include both, the easy one for the people that don't wanna spend the time to learn how to create a map from scratch pixel by pixel as u put it, and one where u can make a map entilry from scratch

oh yeah if anyone who is actually reading this is into CE check out a few of my maps, like hugeass, or islandhop are pretty popular and fairly soon i'm probally gonna release coldsnap my latest work (by soon it could be a month or two)

*wants halo2 for pc so taht he can make custom maps*

good luck ;)

Well I think the best way to go would be pre-rendered material just open and available. You get to choose several map templates. And just drag and drop obstacles into the field to create a map. Kind of like Tony Hawks first skating game *I do not endorse it, and frankly I hate that game, my brother just spent to much time playing it, so I gave in.*

First part of Multipalyer part:

"Q: Will Halo 2 for Windows Vista support cross-platform multiplayer?
A: Halo 2 for Windows Vista will not support cross-platform play. "

Later on

"Q: Will PC players be able to play against Xbox players?
A: We have not yet announced details on cross-platform integration at this time."

THE HECK!?

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

I'll wait for halo2 till I buy Vista, Here's hoping I can get a package deal.

@ 4 the PDZ story

xD xD xD

Well for you surely as far as it requires SKILL and not a good connection with a stanbye button or programs on your PC to kick out people from ranked games :D


Yes that is a fact: I\I I\I 0 0 B L 0 2 is n00bified.
I am glad that here in Poland we still have Halo 1 tournaments as nobody want's to play a game that requires NO SKILL Halo2...

Bungie...They made this game 3 years xD ?
Yeah good jokes : D

10months...A good game doesn't require patches, doesn't allow moding, it has no SUCH an autoaim...
Wheres is the online coop ?
where is the battle for earth?
Where is an ending?
Where are the remarquables weapons/levels from Halo:ce ?


WHY DOES MICROSOFT SAYS THAT HALO 3 WILL COME OUT WHEN IT WILL BE READY ?

Are you guys 10years old, blind or simply stupid ?
