if you want to you can borrow my Vista Stick...

and what did you *the people old enough to remember...* when they released XP and had some programs that were exclusive for it? did you complain to those companies too?

Oh n0 but w4it demonub I don't have the m0n3YZ0rz you dUmb $h1t OMG P00R FTL!!!. I d0n'7 h4v3 a j0b 4nd 1'm poor oh w0a is m3.

for those of you who are "ancient"... What happened if you had Win 95 and they came out with programs only for Win 98? did you piss and moan too?



In conclusion, in 4-8 years, are you going to riot when a new version of Windows gets released? Will history repeat itself?

Lol. I never told you to go back to New Mombasa. :) At least you can type better English than most of the seven year olds there.

Honestly though, I could have sworn it was a Vista only title! However, you were wrong earlier - those demos were on early builds of Windows Vista and not XP. (But then again, I could be wrong here too.)

Ok. I'm new here so don't beat me to badly.

1. HALO2PC (Vista only) is a bad idea only because there is already a base install of XP that is HUGE and most people will not update to VIsta right away. Not because Vista won't be the shiznit but because most people are wary of any new os when the pc they use is more than just a calculator or word processor. I am a Halo nut i have read all the books and the only reason i have an XBOX is because of the original halo (my first one) and halo 2 (my second xbox). I will not be upgrading to Vista. No its not because i am some poor newb. I work in the IT world and make enough money (and know enough) that I could afford it. Most people who game might not have the fastest pcs on the block so playing Halo on an old pc running new vista could be like playing the original pc version of halo with the 30fps setting turned on.

2. Microsoft IS out to get your money (no not steal it). When they bought out bungie it wasnt so they could make halo for pc. That came two years or more later with the help of gearbox. All companies interested in surviving are out to get your money. Microsoft just has an advantage because they can leverage exactly what they need to get people to spend it.

3. Halo wars trailer gave me a woody. Then i read it was an RTS so i calmed down a bit. Then I read it was xbox360 only. SIGH. I do understand Microsofts want to screw the PS2 and nintendo with their xbox only games. But give the pc users a break. If they think xbox360 owners spent money to buy their console to play a game they were right. But Some people spent 600 dollars on a single video card. Stop messing with us UNKA BILL give the pc users the love they deserve. Hell if it werent for us you wouldnt have the company you have (someone post the percentage of pcs with a microfsoft based OS AND programs installed) (dont count the idiots stealing software in this lets just list legals please)

4. Bungie just freakin rocks. I still love the original HALO. It is so much fun to play (on my pc). I really don't care about halo2 now because it will be vista only. Halo 3 will be the reason i buy a 360. Not gears of war or Halo wars. I really hate the darn controllers. Unless you use them constantly I do more fumbling than having fun. NO i don't expect to play anything anymore than i do on my pc. If any company wants to limit their games to consoles so be it i won't play it. (cept halo3) I spend more time on a pc than i should but my tv is what i watch tv on. 1900x1600 on a pc still looks better than the max tv resolution (hd included). And if the games stutters......i buy a new graphics card. It won't hurt my feelings. I am not downing Vista (it will have so many features that will make XP sad) but I do not expect many average users or a good percentage of gamers to upgrade. XP is a fine OS but i didn't upgrade until after SP1. Let someone else test the bugs i like a stable OS.

Sorry about 4.... mostly ranting...oh and my spelling sucks.....I am used to it...;)
