Subject: Is Windows Live Multiplayer for Halo 2 Windows Vista still supported?

Spartans never die, they're just missing in action.

I'm thinking about getting H2 for PC. I've never played H2 on the original Xbox and probably won't because of the whole April 15, 2010 deal. I'm just wondering if I can play it online and use my Xbox Live/Windows Live Gamertag. I have Windows XP 32-bit and my graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE (stating it in case it is compatible with H2V). Comments and advise would be much appreciated.

I know that H2 for PC is still up and running, but other than that, I know nothing.

Yes, multiplayer is still working. Just remember you need to have and Xbox LIVE Gold subscription. At least a 2GHz processor, 1GB in RAM memory, NVIDIA 6100 or ATI X700 (or higher). Windows Vista is required to play this game, it works also with Windows 7.

Try also visiting The Halo 1 & 2 for PC forum in case you need assistance or have more questions about it.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

It's still supported but you'll run into a problem having Windows XP. H2 wasn't exactly designed with XP in mind, so you won't be able to play multi-player - single-player just needs a couple mods. For more answers to your questions, check out one of the FAQs in the H1 & H2 PC Forum

The rest of your specs look pretty good though.

Edit: Suppose I'm a little late to the party...

So it won't work with XP? Oh wait. Nevermind
