I'm glad you guys are porting Halo 2 over! I much prefer a mouse and keyboard for fps shooters. Since Halo 2 is my favorite FPS this is a no brainer.

I already have Vista beta and have been using builds of it since last July or August.

A lot of aspects of Windows XP blow compared to Windows Vista (from my own eXPerience). Vista is built with gaming in mind (think Gamespy arcade with the game finder thingy).

Vista will also be better than XP at playing games through what is now called User Account Protection (used to be called Least-privileged User Account, or LUA). As opposed to fighting with Admin priveleges, or having to run the game while signed in as an administrator.

If you guys want to get Vista beta you have to get a subscription for an MSDN account. People that beta test Windows software for the most part get a nice discount on the finished product so keep this in mind if you want to save some moolah.

So yea, out here in Germany its next to impossible to get an american 360 so I guess I'll work on that before I worry too much about Halo 2 for PC, hopefully a NEW Bungie game will come out first anyway. (we can dream can't we?)
Ebay can help you. Also will any german stores let you get a rain check?

(gotta love the internet, where you can talk to anyone in the world! ^^) )

If i new you better i would get you a 360 and ship it over to you.

THATS WHAT BUNGIE COULD DO!
Sell 360's at there store. Then people like you could get a 360, and Bungie could make money still!


That would be awesome! Hey Frankie I'll send you 400$ for an american 360 (you see there are plenty of german ones but they run on 220 volts and american is 110, plus it only plays german games)

Anyway I'll get one before Halo 3 comes out NO MATTER WHAT.

I'm only human. So are you...

Will the multiplayer world of Halo 2 PC be like xbox? I mean the stats and games being recorded and all those things.

Team Halo

A majority of us Halo fans don't care about Halo 2 for PC/Vista, we're waiting for Halo 3 news. So what's the difference, let the PC gamers play Halo 2 with their little mouse, and us 360 owners will have Halo 3 in a year or so.

when Microsoft publishes Halo 2 for PC – it will have released its new, bigger, better operating system"""

Better than OSX? That is the dumbest -blam!- I have heard in a long time. Thanks for that laugh. Vista is an "Aqua" ripoff and runs on the same fundamentals as windows XP's flawed ass. Dont ever say Vista is better than anything. Bleh

What would the MC look like with an Apple logo ofr a head!

I love how it says that there not using halo 2 as a ploy to sell more windows vista.

I guess it justa conicedence they come out at the same time right??
Or mayeb that they are promoting it over and over making it sound as though everyone who buys Windows vista needs to buy halo 2 or somethign to that effect.

This just shiws more right out that all bungie and microsoft care about is how much money they will get from you. Halo 2 for windows 2 years later because of Driver and graphic issuses and needing the up to date hardware blah blah blah....

What the hell happened to the xbox version then hun? you didnt go through all that on it, you barley even used 75% of the power the xbox has. Hell, I play Pth of neo and it pumps at 100% usage for cpu and gpu the whole time to where my GOU will freeze if the fans not going strong. Why didnt you take all this time and detail on your first version of it?
How many time will this one have to be updated because you guys tossed it out to fast only thinking about what you like?

Im so sick of bungie and microsoft.
Hell, Shiska banned me last week for talking about how bungie is a joke, and how they screwed all the normal non modded xbox players out of all the crap they loced away in the game.


Your still a joke bungie :)

Not only will you be paying $300 for the OS but lets add the cost for the new hardware that will be required to play it. You may be looking closer to a grand to play a game.

And you my firend are the biggest joker i have seen in years!
1) MS owns Bungie, and only a fool would not promote your new OS by using your best game seller. Its for those uper class and blue collor workers who are willing to pay that much at first. Later on when everyone else has VISTA, people will buy halo 2. This is a ploy for the long run.
2) Bungie is no joke, infact, when it comes to bussiness, they don't mess around. Sure, they may have messed up badly on Halo 2's campain,but they have been working on Halo 3 most of the time, even over halo 2. Thats why it never came close to the hype. Expect Halo 3 to deliver what halo 2 missed, because thats where bungie's real soal went into.
3) Quit -blam!-ing. ALL OF YOU. Look, i can understand the $ concerns, but it is not BUNGIE's Falt. MS owns them and of course there gonna use BUNGIE as a tool.

4) Bungie does not have to respawn to all the negitive feedback. Why do they have to? Its just some internet folks's opinion right? They made there due's on Halo 2, and there moving on. I think now that you all have had your say, so should you.

I didn't bother to read the update so I figured I would ask my question here. When exactly is Halo 2 coming out for PC?

what everyone is saying is probably true about MS and Bungie, But there was an article before saying that halo2 wouldn't be made for pc because it didn't have some of the things that XBOX has. mayb it was just a coinicidence
