I work for Geek Squad and I am currently Beta testing Windows Vista, I have tested Vista, XP Pro 64, among others. I am an avid gamer, both PC and Xbox. I was a big fan of Halo 2 for a while, now I don't play as much due to work, girlfriend living with me, so forth. I will be buying Halo 2 for Vista and there is several reasons why:
1: I have came to prefer the mouse and keyboard combo over the xbox controller, so being able to play Halo 2 on my PC will be nice.
2: Windows Vista's raw speed, graphic ability, and interface is so far beyond XP even in its early stages, and it will only get better.
3: With the new graphical engines and Direct 10x for Vista, the higher end PCs will have Halo 2 looking great, better than the XBox for sure.
4: It's Halo, and it's the PC.
I was disappointed with Halo PC, as well as Halo 2 at first glance. Both feel like they're is something missing compared to the original Halo for the Xbox. However given time and possibly having a new team make Halo 2 PC (besides gearbox who are terrible) I think the game will be great and I can't wait to try it out. Just for everyone's information, please do not dis Vista till you have tried it. It's not Microsoft's fault you are too poor to build a PC that can do the things Vista is capable of, but don't think something is crap just because it's beyond your budget. kthx.
