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.


It's genius. You know why? Because you know damn well you're gunna buy both Vista and Halo 2 PC, even if you don't want to.

Windows XP = an OS. OS = Operating System. Vista is Microsoft's newest OS coming out early next year. By releasing Halo 2 on Vista, Microsoft will coax more gamers to switch over to Vista.

You can take a cynical view on this if you want. By making Halo 2 PC exclusively for Vista and making DirectX 10 exclusive to Vista - you get the idea. Halo 2 is just one cog in M$'s great wheel of money-sapping.

Or you could take a more or less positive view. You could say that Bungie and/or M$ actually want to have Halo 2 PC look and play great, and they feel that it can best be accomplished in Vista on DX10.

The latter assumes Microsoft has a soul, however :P
