Subject: An Upside For Us Mac Users!

As you all know, Halo 2 is being made for, as far as we all know, only Windows Vista. There are a fraction of people who will be at least temporarilty left out of it. For the Windows XP people, it's just till they get Windows Vista. But for us poor Mac schmoes, it's completely hypothetical. All we can do is hope that Halo 2 is made for Mac OS X, Tiger or Leopard.

If they don't, we do have a Plan B. As well-informed Mac users know, the new iMacs, MacPros, etc, all come with Windows XP natively. In about six to eight months, production will begin, and hybrid software will be released for both systems.

Hopefully, some scenario can be worked out where us Mac guys can play Halo 2 Vista! Whether it's made for XP, too, or if the new Macs will be able to run Vista, we do have a chance!

Wow. JUST BUY A WINDOW VISTA PC! Then you won't have to worry about "chances" that Mac can imitate vista. Macs are so limited I have no idea why they are of any use. [/rant]

Listen, jackass, you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm NOT going to buy a PC, and you know why?

Because I'm a Mac user, dammit!

And that's what this thread is about! The Mac! And the possibility for Halo 2 for us! That has NOTHING to do with PC users! So if you have nothing useful to do but flame me because I use a different machine, get the hell out!

The few, the proud, the leet.

LMAO!
The new Apple hardware comes with no such thing. If you're wanting to run a Microsoft solution on new Apple hardware, then YOU have to own the microsoft solution that is compatible with Apple's dual loading software.

1 word bootcamp.

botocamp lets a mac user boot up windows on an intel-based mac. Thus, theoretically someone could instead have vista boot up instead of xp.

Where have you been for the past several months? Apple's new machines are Windows XP compatible NATIVELY. They have been for a while now.

How about, if you're using a PC and therefore have no real reason to post in this thread, you don't post at all, and think about it!

Wow, this is going nowhere fast...

All right, I don't want to start a fight with you Mattbluehalofan, but seriously, you can't live life hoping and hoping and hoping something miraculous happens. If you REALLY want Vista w/ Halo2, buy a Vista OS with a PC. Not saying that you posting this is bad, but reality always comes before "I think's".

  • 09.27.2006 3:14 PM PDT

0h knows! The mac users are invading! Buy a PC with Windows Vista capable, with H2V, PC's are 99.9% better than mac's.

It's not hopeless! You've got to keep hoping, even when it seems hopeless! And cover your ears and go 'bla bla bla bla bla bla!'

On a serious note, you're missing the point.

I'm talking to the MAC users here that there's a chance that we'll get Halo 2 Vista. We're not going to stop being Mac users for one game. You don't convert to a different religion because their temple has a soda machine.

As I see the several spelling and grammar errors, and a completely blind generalization, I'd like to see you back that up. Have you ever even used a Mac, or are you just basing your entire opinion on heresay? Of course you are!

Mac vs. pc again...sigh....they should categorize this under religion debates...PC's don't really see the point of Mac's, Mac users feel so angry that they immediately jump on anyone they see and proclaim the mightyness of apple, pc's complain about the snottyness, mac's whine, etc.

This isn't a Mac VS PC debate, dammit! Don't you people read?! If you don't use or care about a Mac you have no reason to post here, and by doing so when you do not apply the prior qualifications, you are truly showing that you have too much time on your hands!

Well if this is a religion debate, I'm an official PC user-er. Sorry to go off subject.

We have no reason to post here, but we have the rights to do so, just as a New Mombassa fool can come in here and rant all he/she wants. And besides, most of us are not trying to fight or anything, we just want to tell you something in honesty.

You went too far with the soda anology there buddy. Sure it's funny, but do you REALLY want to fight with a Mac user? Let's not make this into a fight.

Maw

I would think so. If Vista is as good as its supposed to be (no comments on that point) then Macentosh will most likly emitate it.



Or you can rely on piracy ;)

Mac users? Fight? Dude mac users are the sorta people who drive volkswagen vans, grow their hair 3ft. long (are men), and wear bandanas. Theyre into peace, love and happieness. They dont fight.

Actually, my best friend is a Mac user (and halo pc for it) and we fight over mac vs pc all the time. (i ALWAYS win)

so, yeah. I guess i really dont mind fighting with a mac user. =)

(but i dont want to turn THIS into a fight)

Excuse me? Windows Vista is imitating Mac OS X, Tiger.

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.

Actually, every post of yours turns into a PC vs Mac debate thread, and no, you have way too much time on your hands by posting and knowing that you will get flamed by all the PC users in here.

Hmm.....the last time I saw you post a thread about MACs, it lead to a three-page MAC vs PC flame war. Nothing personal, just a point.
