Subject: Halo 2 on xp?

I keep hearing from people on the internet saying Halo 2 is for xp. I (not playing halo on pc) am not sure, but fairly certain that it's called halo 2 vista for a reason. anyone know of anyway to play halo 2 on xp?

Get vista.

There's some unofficial patches that can get the singleplayer running on XP, but not the multiplayer.

I'm a bad attempt at trolling.


Sorry, your attempt to stalk me failed.

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

It has lofty requirements that don't even work for all Vista computers. It's not called Halo 2 vista by the way it's still called Halo 2 PC, but it probably will not work on XP

It MUST have vista. XP needs a unoffical offline only crack, and 7 breaks h2v so it might give you a live gaming failed error.

Pronounced "Nay-uss"

NO game is worth switching to Vista.

Vista isn't that bad, but then again, I bet you still have this PC.

But if you use 7, H2V will gladly give you this error.

P.S. Half the fixes don't work.

Windows Vista was and is Microsoft's worst OS to date, you can't deny it. EAX broken, horrible backup program, god-awful memory hog, laptop battery drain, the most un-robust unbeneficial Dx upgrade in history, downright lies about compatibility with older hard/software, stupid menu systems, treating people like retards with the utterly stupid and useless help files, evil price tag, and WTF is up with having 5 different versions!?

Heck even ME was more popular than it! Buying halo 2 vista is not justified by the horrible operating system it requires.
If you think Vista is good matey, then you don't know a lot about the world of computers.

If your PC is low spec, then I suggest Windows XP Professional which is easily the best OS Microsoft has ever made.If your PC is mid/high spec, then Windows 7 Professional your best bet.

ONCE AGAIN you resort to petty insults in order to intimidate and demoralise any opposition, before you learn the facts your point is invalid and stupid to say the least

7 has a zillion versions too. EAX is broken on 7 out of the box too, and was fixed with newer drivers, it was caching memory (which 7 does too), it was free with your PC, and it worked most of the time with older external devices. Keep raging, bro, your mom will only buy you a Packard Bell

Lies. ME was only out for less then a year, Vista was from 2006-2010, and is still in heavy use due to the fact no one upgrades thier PCs anymore.

If your PC is low spec, buy a new one. Or just keep using whatever you have.

I always win. I have facts, and can provide links when needed. You, sir, are an idiot.

In other words, you lose. You get nothing. Good day sir

I pity your soul matey, and I don't want to see another post ruined by the ramblings of a fascist.

You are downright blinded by your own arrogance, striving only to put others down, enforcing cheap intimidation in your posts. Well, it will not work on me chap. From what I can see, lots of members of this particular forum are getting sick of your ignorance as well. You will not become successful in life always thinking you're always right, because sometimes, and this being one of them, you're wrong.

You think you can put me down by spurting out self praise and a link to an entertaining video? Hmm; your logic is questionable, as well as your attitude, not to mention your motives to the endless trolling you seem to produce.

Get vista. I got Vista on my year or two old laptop, and it gets the job done. Works better than any XP system I owned.

Thanks for taking the time to write a wall of text on how much you are butthurt.

I gave you the facts. You ignore them and just talk about how I am ranting. This post has links.

Vista still has a good portion of the internet connected share. Not everyone is rushing a 7 upgrade, many people bought new PCs with vista and either never upgrade OSes or only upgrade when their PC breaks.

And all the problems you mention in Vista? They exist in 7 too. In fact, performance is barely faster in 7.

But of course, you are going to call me some evil facist. After all, that's another example of Godwin's law.
