If bungie dosent make it for XP, it wont ever go to XP. You cant mod a 64bit program to work on a 32bit OS, it just wont work at all.
I hope everyone listens to this. This is 100% true. Thanks for bringing this upMorKon.
TO joe blo:
I totally agree with you that MS is forgetting who put them on the map. But what company has not forgotten its people? As it is right now, all the major ISP’s like version and Comcast are setting up a plan together in a small room on how there goanna totally control the internet. Were you have to pay to download a certain amount of flies or stream only so much. They did it with Cell Phones. Some day the internet will not be free. It also gives advertisements more control on who to target, and thus companies get more $. Welcome to Corporate America were Capitalism rules.

Gez, whinny people abound...
Look, if you want to play this new version of Halo 2, just wait until you end up getting a PC with Vista. Or, you could run out and nab it when it hits the shelves. No biggie.
I mean look at your selves. Complaining that it will be compatable with some systems and not others... I wanted Kameo: Elements of Power, so guess what?! I bought a XBOX 360. duh. Get over it. Eventually we'll all have Vista with a crapload of other cool Microsoft games. Those who say that Microsoft is evil are the ones who still insist that being a strong and smart company is bad, and that there are rabid Balverines under their beds. Right, I'm off...

Prehaps you have the money my friend, but some don’t. Do not copy the Rich’s mind set. There are people below you who live off of every pay check trying to pay everything off. Hell, most people in this world are still poor and looking for a meal. Don’t be cruel and look down on them when the very few things they can enjoy are charged up.

Well if you have tested the latest version of vista, you would see a lot of Linux and apple specs incorperated into Vista. Even IE7 has tabs like Firefox. Again, they have gone along way. I am no fan of Windows, i prefer LINIX. But Vista seems to match most if not all its features, and then some. Its nothing like a re-done XP. XP is horrible when it comes to sucurtiy. Thats why i used LINIX then. It will be about 3-4 years when everyone will have XP or Vista software. Ever heard of Red Alert? Well it is a Windows 95 game. It wont run on an XP. In fact there are a lot of ME and 98 apps that wont run on a XP. Your right, it wont be for a couple of years, but from what i have used of it is a great plus to my PC. Better then *GASP* Linix. Which we all knows Kicks all Windows butts up to date....
I will admit that I haven't tested any version of Vista, but I have followed it for a while now. but I highly doubt that Windows Vista will ever come close to the level of Linux in lack of viruses, stability, and minimalism. XP tried to fix security with SP2, and at least for me, it -blam!- up every game I had. Also it blocks apps that are made by MS. The SP2 Firewall asked me if I wanted to block Internet Explorer! If games were made for Linux and XP, and you compared them side to side, I can almost guarentee Linux would win, because Linux uses next to no resources, which makes it great. Unfortunatly, you must know a good amount of Unix to be able to use it fully, and there are no good "games" made for Linux. Now I'm getting offtopic, my point is, you dont need Vista for Halo2 PC. It is a marketing strategy by MS, and I think its just plain wrong.
The beta’s that I have used on Vista still have some security problems that windows norm has, but it looks like they were trying to fix them, but then desided to send off the beta and see what would happen. Its to early to tell if they will fix all the bugs, but I can tell you that so much is changed that it looks like hackers will have to try much harder. (unless they find a exploit) Also, I still have some stuff that is blocked, but I was told that’s because there were to many bugs in the beta to run some things. (like Media Edition)

Okay. I usually never post on this website, but you guys dissapoint me. Befoer you said you weren't trying to sell Vistas for Micrsosoft. So you happen to tell me that the biggest game ever is comign to computer and they didn't have a say in it? You made Halo for Xbox to sell Xbox's. Your making it on computer to sell Vistas. I don't like it when companies are subject to financial schemes...and I like it even less when they lie about it. Your work for Microsoft. You are independent to some degree, but you want to stay on their good side. It's obvious. Don't be fake.
They weren’t faking it. They were trying to tell you that in a way so they won’t get fired. ;) They have to listen to MS. And if you don’t like money making skemes, why don’t you shoot yourself right now and get it over with. Because I can tell you right now, that everyday there is some kind of money scam. Look at George W. Bush. Nuff said. (Great Business man I must say.)
Oh, and please don’t literally shoot yourself. I was meaning that in a non-rhetorical way. I just waned you to see that it is always goanna happen, especially in the corporate world. Apple even does it. That’s life now a days.
