Nobody cares whatsoever about Halo on Windows Vista. Stop playing us like violins and get to the only news anybody cares about: Halo 3. We know there is one, just admit that in some point in time in any future circumstance there will be a Halo 3, or else I can no longer be your friend. [anger face]

They can't sue bungie, but they sure as heck will loose their customers. It seems Microsoft made demands and bungie did what they said. I officially now declare that it is likly that Bungie is now a branch of microsoft, not a company tempararoly joined with it. It's what happens when microsoft makes demands, companies do it. It's a pitty that Bungie will loose it's PC fans over this, unless they make it have certain features only accessable through vista, rather than ruining the game for many because you'd have to buy vista. There is no excuse why we can't make it backwords compatable to xp, considering the rumor is for the 64 bit part, but as a C++ programmer i know that win32 systems can handle 64 bit ints, but not in one cycle of the processor like 32 and below. XP can handle it, it's a matter of will they allow xp to handle it, and it'd be wise for Bungie to do at least that much.

nobody's gonna get their paws anytime soon on halo 2 anyways...
gamespot as on their website that vista is delayed until next year apparently....so much for playing halo 2 on pc before x mas even if you had bought vista....

here is the link to that news!!!!

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6146360.html?q=vista

it just goes to show bungie that if they had tought with their heads and not bend to the will of microsoft and supported halo 2 for windows xp they would not look like complete idiots now....they have to wait for the company that ordered vista support only just to be shafted by that same company ( microsoft) ....

bungie decided to shaft their halo pc fans and now bungie is getting shafted by microsoft..this is called sweet irony ....or what goes around comes around or you reap what you sow....ahahahhahahahhaha

i love this.....i got a 360 now and halo 2 for peanuts but i still -blam!- for the poor lads that have only a pc to play with.....ahahahhahahah

THE IRONY IS SO GREAT!!!!!!

cool all that is great but what about the people who dont have a windows vista and dont have enough money at the time to get one?


then you're in the same boat as someone who wants halo for xbox but doesn't have money for an xbox; or someone who wants a lamborgini but doesn't have the money for one; or someone who wants food or doesn't have the money to get any

there are probably other things you can find to fill the voids in your life other than halo 2 vista

of course it's partially a marketing ploy for vista (shucks, halo sells xbox's, it only makes sense that MSFT would use it to sell Vista - SOMETHING's going to have to) but if Vista is as much of a system overhaul as MS would like us to believe it's going to be, I'd rather the time be spent on making 1 great version than on cross-compatibility - i found halo 1 pc fairly dissatisfactory anyway, but when I tried it out, my PC wasn't all that haute

anyway, you know you're just gonna pirate both regardless

ok... where to begin... MSFT owns bungie... bungie didn't bend to the will of anyone

bungie decided to shaft their halo pc fans

i didn't realize bungie broke into everyone's house that purchased halo1pc, wiped their harddrives, stole their halo pc discs and then wizzed in their ice cube trays!!! OH NOES!

i love this.....i got a 360 now and halo 2 for peanuts but i still -blam!- for the poor lads that have only a pc to play with.....ahahahhahahah

yeah, i mean, half life 2 SUCKS.. the graphics are so life-like and the the environments so immersive!! YUCKY POO POO who wants that!?!11!!

hey let's get on some matchmaking later! oops your map didn't load! time to restart the 360!

What grabs my attention is the effort they are putting into making the xbox 360 controller work with the game on PC. That would be cool to have that feature integrated into most of the newer FPS games made by Microsoft for PC.

Look why is everyone so concerned anyway!! Halo1 xbox rocked. Halopc was made and the netcode was terrible the game blew. It was still fun. Then what halo2 came out and was a big dissapointment. Sure bungie sold alot of copies and set records but for the gamers the game was nubified. Duel Wielding was the worse idea evar. GIVE US OUR F>KING PISTOL BACK. Actually just release an editing kit so the community can fix what gearbox messed up. Halo2 was a big let down on xbox so lets hope they can win my confidence over. If h1 was such a big success why mess with the game, The physics the maps. IN halo2 pc please include old material, or atleast make it unlockable somehow, We love bungie but liked the mod cal_assault. IF you could make this built into the game that would be awesome THanks.

I'm sick of people saying a pistol has any skill to it. What kind of pistol can kill a person from accross blood gultch, it made the game stupid and impossible to win a flag match without hours and hours of playing.

"the only thing we have to fear is fear it self..... and monsters"

Halo 2 for vista will not work i don't think many people will pay 100$ for vista then anther 85 for Halo2 pc. its pointless only retardedly harddcore games would do that. the only advantage of it being so expensive is that Halo Pc will not lose all the gamers all in one day to Halo2

  • 05.10.2006 1:43 PM PDT

"the only thing we have to fear is fear it self..... and monsters"

oh and thee answer to your question about what kind of pistol can kill a person from blood gultch isss the Halo 1 pistol

thats why you wait for vista to drop down and for Halo 2 to drop down and all the bugs worked out! Thats my plan.

"the only thing we have to fear is fear it self..... and monsters"

yeah well i probly won't end up getting it in the end. Halo 2 for Pc will probly be a really big program.

Well i think Halo 2 for Pc would rock, but i dont like the idea of it ONLY being on Vista. But im not going to worry about that because im going to get Vista anyway before XP gets outdated. I can already imagine the MOD community for Halo 2 PC and the Map creator would be great.

My question is will it support DX10, because DX10 is coming soon to PC's and Halo 2 PC will probably come near Winter Time. Vista comes with DX10 Software, then soon DX10 Hardware such as the Nvidia Geforce 8 Series.
