Just for people to know, you CAN'T mod Halo CE.


Oh really? As someone who has personally done it, I would argue otherwise.

Heyyo,

Man, what a dirty move by m$. I'll think about it, and probably try out the demo & see if the game's worth the cash. If it has coop for sure I'd buy it, otherwise? I dunno, cause Halo1PC's support was extremely limited, and since Vista's coming out soon... and looks like Halo2PC will be the flagship product... this conversion to PC will be rushed even more than Halo1PC...... oh man, I'm fearing another buggy halo release. :\

Im definatly not getting Windows Vista just for Halo 2, because its cheaper buying an Xbox for it, and Im still angry about Bungie's decision to make Halo 2 for Vista only...however I'll get vista in round about 2008 when its gone cheaper and theres lots of updates for it and when the rpice hopefully goes down etc but Windows Vista will be very expensive :(

i have no idea what vista was, until now... so i probably am not going to buy vista just to get h2pc

  • 02.10.2006 11:14 AM PDT

Probably.

It's not like I wasn't going to buy Vista when it came out anyway. There are a number of interesting features that make it a lot better than XP. Plus, I kept Windows 98 for WAY longer than I should have.

are you an idiot?

halo CUSTOM EDITION. the only purpose of which is modding.

oh, and ive tried the betas for vista. theyre beyond anything anyone has ever used before. absolutely amazing. im not being sarcastic.

im getting vista, halo 2 or no halo 2.

mac osx people who think their os is cool... and vista's stuff isnt new features... you obviously havent tried the betas.

after using vista.. there were features in windows XP i didnt even realize were terribly buggy. after going back to XP i saw bugs everywhere. and i had accepted them as normal. UPnP is messed up in XP. not to mention lots of other stuff too... and with all the obsession over "longhorn" before they released the real name vista... id think people had heard of it.

the aero visual aspect is so wonderfully beautiful... screenshots dont do it justice.

vista will be worth every penny you put into it. trust me on that.

i voted yes because there wasnt a "i was already going to buy it anyway" option.

youre intitled to your own opinion. and youre also entitled to be wrong.

Hello!!! I did not post that just to say I am an idiot, and you can call me anything you want, but just for you to know, that is mapping, not modding. Also, is it me, or is everyone calling me an idiot?

Well Vista is going to be like terribly expensive. I could wait for the price to drop....but then by then I could get much more superior games than Halo 2. In fact I could get some better games for Xp with that money.

Any other route? I could go to a third world country and buy windows at a very generous 10% off, for poor countries. But nah not worth the trouble.

Shame, but I got it on xbox anyway so why am I moaning? Lol

I was going to buy it anyway... so, yes

I was going to buy Vista anyways. So it is just like a flavor boost to your vanilla ice cream when you consider that Halo 2 PC is for Vista.

I hope that the games played on xp now like haloce will be playable on vista otherwise you would have to start with halo 2 and have no other options

Mapping? MAPPING? You have obviously never done anything with ce. You don't have to make a map. You can mod how the weapons work, or how fast the vehicles go, or how the ui is set up, ect, without ever having touched a map. There is 100000x more flexability in ce than pc. The tools in ce were made for this exact purpose, bungie used them. Halo pc has a fan made program that can only do limited stuff.

Im running the Vista beta now, and I havn't had any problems running downloaded music or movies. Whether XP programs will work on Vista depends on how well they were programmed. I've found quite a few programs that don't work with Vista but most do. Also, Microsoft will stop supporting XP in a few years. Most new software coming out in the near future will be geared toward Vista and probably wont run on XP. Vista does have compatibility with XP, and earlier OS;s, but its limited. Microsoft started over with the code for Vista so its not based on anything else. XP was based on 2000 and XP had so many security holes it was ridiculous. Vista is totally kick ass and after you use it once, you wont want too use anything else.

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

I've seen reports that there will be like 5 different Vista versions available, so I'll ask:

which one will support 2-way motherboards like a dual s940? In other words, which Vista will be the XP Pro version rather than the XP Home version?

Right now I'm upgrading my board and just bought another opteron, but I don't want to waste my money on XP Pro at this point if there is a comparable Vista version.

Any yes, I'll buy Vista too, I just want to get the correct version for 2-way boards. Thanks.
