*sigh* I guess I'll have to wait for Vista to come out then. but, doesn't a person need to buy a whole new computer so it can be compatable with Vista? *sigh* too many complications.

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

No...Vista can be downloaded, I believe...Vista is superior to XP. Simple truth. That's why Halo 2 is on there.

Vista does cost money though...I think around 120 dollars...that is, if it is legal.

I'm thinking it's probably more.

Anyway, you just need a decent PC in order to play H2 Vista.

  • 09.15.2006 1:21 PM PDT

Yeah.

For the last freaking time, Microsoft doesn't need a game to sell it's operating system. Also, Microsoft wants to make money, that's what corporations do, for the love of God. I wish people would stop saying, "omg m$ wants to maek money" and stop being cheap and just work for the money and buy it.

same here,stuck with windows xp.you can check to see whether your pc is Vista compatible though.get something called the windows Vista upgrade advisor to see if your hardware and stuff can support Vista.if you already did then good for you.Oh,do you think Bungie will make halo 2 compatible for xp bcos alot of users out there may not have a Vista compatible pc. another person in the forum says it uses Dx10,special Vista only,right? I can dream,can't i? *sigh* ;p

Ok, I am aware that microsoft is a corporation, and corperations make money. I'm also aware that Halo 2 is NOT going to sell Vista. But for the love of god, they have enough money, they could release it for Xp, but they don't have enough money. I mean come on, 40 billion buck, and were just warming up. It wouldn't kill them to do what there cosamers want for a change would it? I think they'd actualy make more money if they had it for Xp, think about it. Most people won't get vista as soon as it comes out, so they could reach a wider audience with Xp.

No, you can't dream. Nobody is allowed to dream. Face it, H2 is coming to Vista and Vista only!

Hey, retard. That misspelling was intentional, to show how illiterate most of the people are when they go "this is gaey b cuz m$ wants 2 sel vsta @ a bilion dolars!!!!" I certainly know how to spell "make". Don't try to contradict me.

Also, you misspelled "mist spelled". Owned.

Cool, I just found out that my pc can run Vista. Yay! What a relief. The only thing I have to change is my graphics card, no big. Planning to get a new one anyways. Hope you guys can support Vista too (should be able to.). Oh, it also says that Halo CE may not run on Vista,why's that? Maybe because its dx.8, I think. Not sure. Anyways,does that mean that old games doesnt work on Vista? I am kinda new to computing so if you have any suggestions and tips, please tell me. Thanks.

Halo 2 is coming out on Vista so you get the best experience possible. Do you want a kick-ass full featured improved Halo 2, or do you want a stripped down bad graphics blue walled half assed XP port?

Okay. Here's the rundown based on what I've seen so far...

Yes, Vista will come soon, yes you can technically "download it," but that's only through the Anytime Upgrade service built-into Vista. What this does is basically verify through the internet that yes, you can use the version you're upgrading to, and the version of Vista you have will upgrade itself. No actual, physical downloading needed.

Yes, Microsoft is a company. No, H2PC won't sell Vista. Other way around.

There is a drastic difference between Vista and XP. Making a program compatible for both won't be THAT easy mostly because Vista is a completely different OS from the ground up. The base code of Vista was written from the ground up, not based on XP architecture, meaning that simply porting the game for XP won't be too easy.

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.

Oh sweet Jesus, help this one. He did that on purpose! And know that first of all, you NEVER contradict the Master kim, and even less if you don't know how to spell...

Five Aces... Microsoft may have 40 billion dollars to it's name, but do you think they're going to use it all for one damn game? It's called a BUDGET people! You know, the thing your parents are on so that they can afford to feed you?

Seriously, if I see one more "Why is Halo2PC only for Vista?" or "Make Halo2PC for XP!" thread I'm going to start fire bombing peoples houses! Don't think I won't either! I AM THAT CRAZY!
