Whenever any software is released they usually release dozens of patches to help fix do they not? Everything has problems but are you willing to deal with them to get the overall better product.

Once again this happens in everyday life and this is part of life.

If all that pisses you off is the sniper zoom not going far enough, than get better aim.

You can't really take a guy named "Captain Booger" too seriously. Maybe the reason you're having problems with that new (built SPECIFICALLY FOR VISTA) is because it's built specifically for vista and therefor doesn't work with Windows XP...

Why don't you use a little common sense and wait until Vista is released before going and saying it sucks.

You have no basis because you cannot use the final vista build right now. THAT is why you have no basis.

1. Yes i am aware of the patches, my problem is that with every new OS the requirements for them always double, and problems that needs fixing multiply, and the time it takes seems like they should have held it back. And being that Vistas 3 years behind already kinda scares me! By my estimates (which, granted, are totally made up) we're looking at 4 years of daily patches so we won't have time for Halo anyway.

2. I'm not mad that the SR had poor mag (though i should be, because i DO have poor aim, as you so charitibly pointed out {i hate you now}). I'm mad that Bungie was unable to hold it as a 10 when they converted it. And people say it gets better? tell me, are they adding new levels to H2 Vista that the Xbox version didn't have? That would be an improvement. One worthy of a Vista upgrade.

then whats the sense in releasing it for XP? its not like Vista's anywhere near ready itself. They haven't even set a release date (which in the electronics universe always means 3+ months er so). I can understand some kind of patch upgrade, but releasing the whole program to a system that won't even support it? That's like letting the Exxon Valdes sink, and not doing anything about it! explain that to me!

You're sitting here telling me that Windows Media 11 and that new Live Messenger (built SPECIFICALLY FOR VISTA) have NOT caused me to reboot my compy 3 times, and every time i try uninstall them, i crash again? is that what your saying? well if that's what your saying.....



Note second line, the part in capitals where you stated that the new Live Messenger is built specifically for Vista. That pretty much means that it won't work properly with XP as you have stated.

Obviously the Live Messenger (built SPEFICALLY FOR VISTA) was released for the Vista beta demo program.

Why is it the whole world is celebrating the release of Halo3 except Bungie's Halo 3 forums?

i only have the console version of the games but i dont mind. I mean any bungie fan would know that it would be better on the pc. I mean, bungie been making games on the pc long before the console. I am slowly transferring to a pc gamer. I greatly enjoy using the mouse and keyboard. i apologize for my console brethren.

It's mostly sausages. Franks, blood sausages, bratwursts, and the like. There is a hot dog bun roaming here somewhere though.

Why do you think it always takes better requirements....Because its a better system. It will be better so you need better stuff.

You want to make a Delicious cake so you will only take the best flour, milk, eggs, etc...
However, if you use dust, semen, and my feces; it ain't exactly gonna' taste like french cuisine. Some things must be added to make it better.(sry for the gross visual guys and gals.)

However, I agree that when something in the electronic universe is delayed by more than a year it usually spells doom for it, but the fact that this has a release date and we know its coming says that its not just the fact its taking a while, its qualitly control.

Yes the problem was that they released an entire week worth of updates about Vista and they didn't give any thing out about Halo3. They were starving for Halo3 info and they saw Bungie serve us up a 16oz Porterhouse steak. They did what any normal child would do, they threw a tantrum. Bungie just needs to throw a little Halo3 mashed potatoes on their plate and they will calm down and eat.

Somebody put that in their signature!

ZOMG siggd LoLZoRZ!

Yes, its going to have a whole shedload of problems. Its a new ground built OS, so of course it will.

But for someone to make a load of predictions when they dont know much is a bit....stupid.

And going on about it crashing one machine a lot. Arguably, thats cos its a beta version of a new OS thats coming out. Funny eh?

Your arguments are pretty poor, and all based on theory, weak theory. And patches, updates? if only. If haloPC had more than 7 updates, it might have been made what it should have been. Or just one useful update.

Course, its going to be interesting to see how many computers the copy protection screws up on Vista.

ah! you obviously weren't around when Windows98 crashed...
...during it's unveiling, I might add!

I saw that comin before it happened, so don't tell me i don't know the thing i know.

i know, ya know. no? i know.........

okay, that was a while ago, but how bout when XP froze on the laptop they were unveiling it on, ad they couldn't shut it off, so they had to let the battery die.

Or when they couldn't get the system using ME to even turn on?

trust me, something will happen...Microsoft is not good at making the work during presenting the things to the world for the first time....

Hear, hear!

I suppose I am a little new to this community, but for a short while the discussions had a lot of merit. And everyone seemed mature. Through recent observations, I witnessed trolls flooding in with numbers rivaling those of, well, The Flood. And just as dangerous.

So what I am trying to say is, don't feed the trolls, or you will become one of them. Sort of like the Flood.

okay, I , Captain Booger, hereby and from this day forward take back EVERYTHING I have said.

VISTA LOOKS GOOD!

I was having trouble with it before, but i tried something new...

I partitioned my Hard-Drive, and it worked just great. Then I tried the test-drive for Office 2007 on the microsoft site....

FINALLY everything out in the open like that! it was like using and controlling the mere essence of the binary itself! Now I see my flaws...

FORGIVE ME BUNGIE!, FORGIVE ME MICROSOFT, FORGIVE ME OBI_WAN!

of course i'm still skeptical about how secure it's gonna be....
with all these betas flyin around, it just gives crakers more of a chance to beat it before it starts...

BUT, that's forseeable, and i'm sure Microsofts already working on it.

Now, Captain Obvious, if only you would type better English. "Your grammar isn't as bad as others who would make English teachers choke in their sleep, but you're getting there." XD

Like I said, probably just temporary.

Thinking of something witty to write here since 2004...

You treat Xbox players as if they're insuperior to you. Thing is they aren't. Just because their choice of gaming is a console compared to a PC does not make them any less equal to yourslelves. Maybe they can't aford all the upgrades needed to run Halo PC. Also some of them (myslef included) play both versions and enjoy and/or are as good as both equally.

I've played Halo 2 on Xbox ever since it came out and I'm very excited about Vista. You cannot say that one will be bettter than the other since they are both optimised for both systems. The PC version would not be as good on an Xbox.

Sure some of them may be trolls and spammers, but you get that in PC forums aswell. Most of them are just immature and looking for attention.

QFT! I also have an Xbox 360 and a low-mid range gaming PC. Though I am a PC gamer at heart, I do enjoy consoles as well.

I imagine I was around before you.

Anyways, Im not saying it wont crash or have problems, in fact its quite likely. But for you, whom isnt involved in the making at all, to make assumptions about it - no scratch that - to state facts you dont know, is as previously said, stupid.

Anyways, it appears you have sorted your Vista out for now.

Maw men? What if theres a woman? Or is this just an all out sausage fest?


I think you are the only regular female, if you are female which I am assuming from the question. There is another that comes in here every once in a while, KillrgrlX.

If I ever meet you Recon were having a beer. Every one of your post are well-written and make perfect sense.

A lttle repetitive Kim?
