as most of u know .. windows vista is going to be brining in dx10, and halo2 is being solely released for vista.. so u think halo2 pc is going to have dx10 features in the game or wat? because if theres no dx10 features on halo2 pc.. then :/

If Bungie's making Halo2Vista for use with directX10 cards. then I'm pretty confident it's going to utilize directX10 features. Common sense dude.

Well, of course it will use DirectX 10, isn't it obvious? It will work just fine on DirectX 9 cards, but it will look better on DX10.

I doubt it. H2 barely utilises the DX9 features, making it run on DX10 only would be redundant and pointless.

If by redundent and pointless you mean 6-8 times faster, then yes.

No, because running it in DX10 would require a total overhaul of the graphical engine, and also a DX10 graphics card, unless of course you want to emulate DX9 on a 10 card... but that would make for 13fps. It'll run in DX9, just DX10 cards will run so much faster because they are so much faster than 9 cards.

Actualy, if bungie wanted to use dx10, it wouldn't be that hard. No overhauls, no complete rewrites of the engine. While I agree you need a dx10 card to gain this benefit, it is 6-8 times faster that the same card running a dx9 game. I don't think that is redundent.

By the time dx10 cards come out, H2 and Vista should be afforadable...
Also, I live in Australia, and our computer tech is, like, 6 months behind US. So...

That's too bad, dalmedya.

Also, ImSpartacus, IMO, you don't deserve to have the Master Chief Mark VI Armor avatar. It's too leet for you.
