Okay guys, this from now on should be the only thread for Halo 2 PC, asides from Iggwilv's super cool suggestion thread. Why, to make Bungie Mods happy, because I'm like seeing 20 H2PC Threads a day.

This thread is for:

-General Discussion on Halo 2 PC
-Halo 2 PC Storyline Discussion.
-Halo 2 PC Questions/Support.
-Halo 2 PC Multiplayer, and what you may wish.
-Halo 2 PC Issues that you may want resolved.

Keep the flaming to a mimimum and you won't worry about the forum ninjas ;)

Yeah...Spartan and I have a wager on when the game's released...

Hm...yet another official H2PC discussion? *shrugs* I just hope the mods sticky a thread somewhere so people don't keep creating thread after thread about it. Or just keep it down to a few threads.

My opinion will have to wait until its release, but seeins as the Xbox version is cool, I think the PC will be even better, but only if retards like (ME)=KING get permabanned before the game is even released :P

I heard Vista itself isnt coming out till early 2007, meaning H2s release must be later. There's no point in getting the game before the OS even comes out.

Agreed, Widowmaker. Visita's gotta appear on the stage first, which is why I wagered against Spartan that ti would be sometime in February of 2007.

Yes unfortunately, but people may be able to run it on XP anyways, privided they find some way to circumvent the Vista thing, so don't get your hopes down.

How will they do that? Unless Bungie releases H2PC BEFORE Vista, and i find that unlikley.
I hope they take away all/alittle of the recoil on the SMGs, cuz of the mouse.

there is not a chance in hell of circumventing the vista-only aspect of the game, sure, you might have been able to do it with windows 98-XP, but that's because essentially, they were all exactly the same operating system, just with different GUIs and some added features. Vista wil be a totally new OS, reportedly with the only similarities to previous windows will be in the front-end GUI, and even that's meant to be different.

ACTUALLY... windows XP isnt anywhere near the same code as 98. 98 is DOS based using a GUI, ME was DOS still, 2000 was NT, and Windows XP is NT. The only way to run programs from windows 98 on XP is using a DOS emulator. So, they didnt work perfectly.

its possible, but im pretty sure that vista will be so different, you would be downloading a pretty big emulator to run the game, that and halo will be optimised to run on vista, not on xp. doing that would be similar to making a emulator for playstation 1, to run halo. other than that, get your hopes down, it will make you feel that much better if it does come to xp, and it wont hurt so much when it doesnt.

Personally it doesnt matter, I have h2 for the box. If it comes to Vista, great! If it comes out only for vista, but it can be emulated for XP, Great! If it comes out on XP, even better!
