Subject: How do I get Halo 2 vista?

I guess my question is that if i buy halo 2 vista on amazon or whereever, where do I enter the product key?

DO i enter it in Games for Windows, if so how??

Or is it just a pop in the disk enter the code onscreen and play it and it has nothing to do with games for windows.

aaaand plus wehn i play it, can i just jump right into online servers i dont need a super secret mod download, right?

ANWERS PLEASE!

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Man, those other players are gonna love looking at that chat window when you're in the server.

It's really straight-forward. Install the game. Install Games for Windows Live. Plug in your controller (Yeah, I can tell you're gonna need that auto-aim). Run the game. GFWL screen pops up, and you put in your info and recover your Gamertag. Then, you put in your CD key. Play.

See you in a few days or so when you manage to screw up something that simple.

Ok thanks -blam!-. I'm not a dumbass, I was just confused cuz it wasnt available as a download only game. Im used to Steam, and fyi I play mouse and keyboard no problem. And I'm pretty good at reach.

But thanks anyways. I was currious.

He was only trying to help dude, to be honest the post had me worried when you mentioned your product key. Long as you know what your doing with that you should be fine.

And Halo 2 Vista is GFWL only, it won't be on Steam and as far as i know, there is no way to download a copy either. Think it's hard copy only.

What does this have to do with anything? In fact this will probably make DusK laugh harder.

It seems that you might be fairly new to PC gaming. If so, welcome. Sorry for the harsh welcoming by the others... We just tend to feel a lot of this should be common sense. :P
