I said it earlier in this thread and ill say it again. I also have had XP and Win2000 installed on my PC and 2000 far exceeds XP, So i was reluctant to jump on the VISTA bandwagon but let me tell you fella's something the difference between XP and Vista is like the difference in Dodge VIPER and Ford PINTO and thats the truth (VISTA being the VIPER) just incase any diehard XP fans saw a glimpse of hope there. LOL I currently am running the 5308 BETA 2 build of VISTA and its the greatest thing since well ELECTRICITY.

I agree with getting Vista. I don't see what's the deal with insulting it before even being selled in stores yet, so when it comes out you'd rather try it before flaming it! I'll buy it and Halo 2 PC.

no point in getting halo 2 for PC why you may ask. because its a year old game which by the time it comes out it will be about 2 years old. the only difference between the xbox version of halo 2 and the PC version is that the PC version will have higher res graphics, you will need a good computer just to run the game which will be expensive and pointless. the game will get some of the bugs fixed plus there will be servers so the host advangate will be very little plus some other stuff.

buy an xbox for about £100 with halo 2 or buy a £900 PC with halo 2 and windows vista for about £1200. which would you choose.


You're acting like the only thing you can do with an expensive computer is play Halo 2.

I already have a good enough PC. PC's are a better value than consoles because they do so much more. Internet, DVDs, music, Email, mods, video editing, play games with higher resolution graphics, and more.

With consoles you're stuck with the same outdated hardware for the next five years. PCs can always be upgraded so you can always have the best experience.

It's annoying how people who can't afford decent PCs exxagerate the price. My PC cost about $700 and I can play BF2 at near-maximum settings, and Halo runs at max at 40+ FPS. Next time, before you open your mouth, get your facts straight.

BTW, get a job kid, just because you can't afford a good PC, that doesn't mean PCs suck.


did i evere say i hate PCs. no i did not. do you really think a 14 year old boy like me be able to pay £700 for a new computer even he/ i have a paper round. the thing is that with consoles they are cheaper and more viable for people to buy compared a £700 PC. the only way a 14 year old boy could get a £700 is if he is spolit so you can get your facts right


well since hte pound is almost double the Value of a dollar, you could import crap form the USA, and have a good gaming PC like the poster above for 350 pounds.....


would'nt the PC blow up because of the voltage difference between our computers and thiers?

I will defenately get VISTA and halo 2 because i dont have an xbox ( and probally never will, thank god!) and i'm sure halo 2 for the PC will be great (and vista, of course). sure i might have to upgrade a few things like the processor ( i have amd athlon xp 2600+, i think ), but thats a small price to pay for vista (and halo 2).

Not to be a bum, but I paid 500 US dollars for my computer (speakers and monitor included). Although I built mine, it really wouldn't be hard for yours to beat mine-with one small upgrade. I have the following 512 MB RAM, 120 GB HDD that was an external hard drive, but I took it apart and used it as an IDE drive from western digital, Athlon XP 2800+, and integrated audio (Nvidia 5.1 surround), but here is the trump card... The graphics card. I get 60 FPS with vert sync on and it goes over 100 at any given time with it off. The card itself? X800XT all in wonder... I suggest getting one like it. Your computer must be bowed to by mine-except for the graphics card. It cost more than the rest of my computer combined, but in my opinion, it is the best to spend your money on for gaming. Before Vista comes out and Halo 2 for PC, I intend to buy at least 2 GB of RAM and 2 large SATA HDDs and a new motherboard with a 64-bit processor. Then I will be ready for Vista...I bought my XBOX just for Halo and Halo 2. I have a 360 for Halo 3 and Perfect Dark Zero (awesome game, contrary to popular belief) and I am a huge fan of Halo and Halo 2, I will be getting Halo 2 for the PC. All of this was written to prove your point even more, it is really easy to get a gaming computer by buying your parts in the proper order (I'm never going to be done upgrading...) so for all of you out there who have crappy computers, 4 words (depending), RAM and graphics card. Sorry about grammatical and spelling errors.

I'll most likley buy it, considering all my gaming systems have been either: A) Totaly trashed from: 1) Being thrown out windows for messing up too much or 2) Spilling food, pop, or anything of the sort; or B) They have been taken away by either: 1) -blam!- -blam!- of a step-father, or 2) My girlfriend.
So that being said...the only thing I have left...is my computer. For which I have HPC already. And when you don't have the systems...The PC is as good as anything. And as for Vista...It looks hundreds upon hundreds of times better than XP or Win2K. Although Win2K blows XP out of the water...
ANYWAYS! I need a new computer. Mine sucks...T_T
I'll just go for the super-gaming computer, and get Vista while I'm at it. These things are within grasp when you have a job! Even if I'm only 15, and getting $50 a week! If I save my money, I'll have enough for a good comp and Vista in half a year. And if I wait a whole year...I can get an even better comp...AND H2PC WinVista.
So yeah...I'm going to be buying it.

Well, i say yes. IF you google Vista graphics are good, fancy, looks speedy, and more things you can do than cheap consoles and XP's. They probley upgraded the mothger board to like the best they could do or some with the other stuff. Bungie is making it for Vista because Microsoft is realease the new " Windows Vista " and bungie made it for Vista so more people can enjoy and more people will buy Vista not just for halo 2, but other sutff. Anyways i got a pretty bad computer. Sometimes my comp doesent agree with me and freezes :( , but i reset it and leave it at the profile menu and i go do something else. Then when i comp back bored or something, I turn on a profile then i try to play then it works. Sometimes it trys to avoid things and i get bad pool caller then, i have to reset everything!!!!!!!!! Although i need a new comp, when i play Halo there is pretty bad graphics and Windows XP is pre-installed...... i mean pre-installed. Come on!
