Dont buy halo 2, its -blam!-\
In b4 "You shouldn't take the word of the overwhelming consensus of the PC gaming community" and other such stupidity.I'm going to go on a limb and say everyone who has said H2 PC is bad is wrong. The textures are incredibly nicer than what I remember on xbox. I'm nostalgiaing so hard through campaign, which I can actually go through on legendary with my trusty mouse and keyboard. The lighting engine is weaksauce in comparison to recent games but I can look past that for the fact that this is one of my favorite games. The price is right at 14 dollars shipped. It may not be very well optimized but come on. If you're a gamer and your PC can't play 3 instances of Halo 2 at 60fps then idk what you're doing but you're doing it wrong.
The game's great. Runs as it should. On board video probably wouldn't be the best idea. You can get excellent recertified GPUs on newegg (when they offer them) for a hundred bucks. RAM is dirt cheap. May I suggest making sure your PSU has the necessary rails and output rating before you upgrade.
My rig (3.4GHz i5 quad core, 8GB DDR3 RAM, GeForce GTX 480 1.5GB GDDR5 video card) has more than enough power to play H2V on any setting.
But more so than anything, my post touched on the actual quality of the game. The game sucks, dude. If you like it, it just means you like bad games. I say it's bad because it's not a good game to begin with, not just because it's unoptimized. That's just the tip of that giant iceberg made of turd.
