I'm a decently harcore console gamer, and while I enjoy the occasional RTS on PC, all my shooters ar console only. Mainly it's because that's what I was introduced to, and I usually don't see the point in buying a whole new gaming computer to run stuff when I have a 360. But now that my PC grows old, and with vista coming out...it's the perfect time to use Halo 2 Vista to transition me from my console only ways to a more mixed gaming backround. Mainly because I can play ranked stuff and what not with a controller, but I can start getting used to a keyboard/mouse in smaller more persanol games.

I really think that this vista port is worth it, because of the mapmaking...I mean, how fun would it be to be like "man, the spawns on lockout are pissing me off, that guy just gets headshot after headshot...better go change the spawns to what I think would work better." . Besides, it will be fun getting into PC gaming, because games like oblivion are much better on PC, and so if I can learn to play PC games more seriously, I can play those as well as any console game.

So yeah, it's just a port...but it will keep the fresh content I need to get me through the year from the earlyish 2007 Halo 2 Vista release to the distant Halo 3 luanch in WInter 2007.

its a money making scam! Microsoft is scum!

You obviously are oblivious to the fact that Microsoft and Bungie are pursuing completely legal ways of aquiring money.

You know I wish microsoft would let you play Halo 2 on XP aswell. So we have choices! Vista is like blu-ray, their forcing it upon us. Also Linux is a way better OS then anything microsoft can produce. Linux will own windows when more games are supported, which is around the corner.

Microsoft isn't forcing Vista on anyone. Bungie is making Halo2PC for Vista because it is a logical step. Why would Bungie develop a game for a soon to be obsolete OS, whose hardware would not bring the best gaming experience?

Making Halo2PC for Windows XP is a waste of time and money. And in the video game industry time IS money.

They should still release it on XP. Think about the people who have a great comp, but don't have $400 to spend on a new OS.

That's not my problem, and that's not Microsofts problem. If you don't have the money to upgrade to Vista, then there's a little thing called a job. Go work at McDicks for two weeks and you'll have more than enough to buy Vista. Or hope that you don't have cheap parents if you are too young to get a job.

Man mosly everyone in the maw are asses. If Halo 2 pc was released on a mac OS, you all would be getting macs instead of vista. Plus vista isn't ground breaking.

Umm, no. I wouldn't go get a mac just to play Halo2. No one here is THAT stupid.

Oh and don't call me an ass because I said that people who can't afford something should get a job and work for it. It's how the world works boyo (no matter how much I wish that weren't true)

Oh, and Vista may not be ground breaking, since technology doesn't progress that way. If it did we'd all be living on the moon eating food that materialized from a box with flashing lights and doodads. Vista is the logical next step in OS technology.

Taking it from a man that doesn't even know the basic aspect of Vista in that he can't even spell the word. Does not have a proper space to be naysaying the Halo 2 Vista game/platform.

Well im not taking sides because i like HALO on pc but dont like it on the xbox and i played the xbox version before i played the pc version but i like H2 on the xbox not on the PC

No im saying nothing interests about H2V

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Retard...

Sorry, I just couldn't hold it in this time. I've belonged to quite a few forums over the years. And NONE of them has had this many retards/trolls/morons/idiots/dumb-blam!-s.

There are a lot of mature members here who can have a civilized discussion (Iggwilv, Me15ter, Master Kim, and several others which it would take too long to list.) And yet, there are so many little dumbasses here who can't spell, can't use puncuation, and can't make a thought out, intelligent post if thier mothers lives depended on it. (and a note to said dumbasses: Even a 4th grade dropout knows how to use a period.)

Sorry for the explosion, but damn, we get enough of this crap playing the game.

Yeah, I agree. It's been ticking me off for a while now. It's rather sad though, The Maw used to be a great, no spam forum, but it's been all downhill from here with all of the XBox players out there coming here to say XBox Halo 2 is better. But we have to resist and not insult them. Just let their threads die, even if you are as mad as Obi and I are.

Firstly Halo2 on xbox sucks due to massive auto aim and hitboxes plus -blam!- combos like the noob combo

But since it's a PC game they should be fixed because without the aa the noob combo will become the pro combo and well we can just hope for the hitboxes.

I'll forgive you if English is your second language because the sheer stupidity in that post makes you look like a complete idiot. Please, leave these forums and take your trolling some place else.

hey Escape, he's been here longer than you have, and he actually has something relevant and intelligent to say. (most of the time) if your just going to flame him for expressing his opinion, maybe you are the one who should leave. Better yet, maybe a ninja will come along and send you to bansville

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Halo 2 Vista isn't a money making scheme anymore than Halo PC was. It is for those who don't play consoles yet still like Bungie games. Nothing more. It has a few extra features because Vista has more capabilities than the xbox. Ok?

Okay, people, why the fsck is this thread still up here? Do you think flaming him will get you anywhere? His problem with Vista is his problem, call a mod instead of arguing to a deranged troll.

*sigh* There's a reason why I don't participate in THIS kind of discussion. None of you should either.

don't want to play halo 2 on vista then play it on windows XP, Download steam and the source SDK and learn how to code, skin, map, make models etc and join my group called Halo:Source which is an ongoing project designed to make halo 2 mutiplayer using the source engine for windows XP users.
