i totally agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some people cant dish out that kind of money.................but the reason they are releasing it for vista is because xp might be a tad slower.............so if we want to play h2........
we kinda have to get vista..................the sad truth -.-

No, it will never happen! Xp is to weak for Halo 2 , and there wont be any improvments, plus, H2 vista is already being tested on the Vista Beta 2, so, it will never be for Xp, Bungie doesent care if you dont buy it, there is still many people out there that will, and want to buy it.

OMG I DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE FOR THIS.

Will someone please educate this ignorant fool on why Vista is being made. I don't know if I have the strength to explain it to him.

DON'T BLOW THIS GUY OFF. Here is an example of where we can educate the community.

For my part dude you better start saving money now because H2V is not coming to xp and that is that.

  • 10.17.2006 12:58 PM PDT

Well said demigod, still, everyone who wanted Bungie to sign something to make H2 for xp, got backlisted, so dont even think about it.

I say we first take our Ritalin before posting again.

H2 is going to be Vista and that's final; it will sell exactly how they want it to sell. Oh, and children don't buy OSes, so please don't give me this, "It's all because they want our money!" The simple upgrade is $100, and you'll have to upgrade sooner or later. That is, unless you believe an older OS is better than one that has been in development for six years. Doom 3 anyone? "Nooo! Carmack makes us update to 2000 or XP to play Doom 3! He wants our money!"

Haven't you ever heard of, "stop living in the past?" Vista is not only the longest developing OS Microsoft has spent on, but it's also going to appease the gaming population; they're going to try and bring back gaming to the PC and make it just as big of a contender as the consoles are. They're going to need Vista titles, and they're going to make a key example of how a two year old game is being acclaimed as "Halo 2.5" will take advantage of Vista.

Agamemnon, for putting why Vista was made so elequently and saving me the stress of worrying about educating this ignorant newb; I proudly present the special MAW cookie!

Only given to those who have helped stomp out ignorance in our world. Not only did you stomp but you twisted the heal on that one.

I'm going to use that response to whoever makes another thread bashing Halo 2 Vista with their verbal regurgitation.

I commend you, Agammemnon!

H2 is coming to Vista for the best experience possible.

But then again, if people are THAT mad that Bungie is not making an XP copy, maybe we could ask Gearbox to make a Vista to XP port....

Well, for one, Gearbox has no say with Halo at all, so that's out of the question, and considering Bungie would, once again, have to oversee every little detail they do, then they're better off with just doing it themselves.

Oh, and thanks everyone; despite being new to bungie.net, I know my way fully around the wonders of the internet and its wonderful population.

I'm 14 too... and I'm not rich... and I'm not complaining about how the game will be on Vista because of the cost....

There's this thing, it's called saving money.... It will help you get through life dude, so I'd start now....

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR THE 1,000,000th REPEAT THREAD!
YOU WIN ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!

Its NEVER coming to XP. Quit whining about it. If you don't have the money for Vista, then too bad. A disadvantage of being a PC gamer is that it can be very expensive. But the advantages outweigh the negatives.

And you, my friend, need to grow the hell up or get the hell out. Maybe if you had a shred of common sense you'd realise that Halo 2 on Vista will be a helluva lot better gaming experience that this P.O.S. we currently call Windows.

News flash kid: Once Vista comes out there won't even be official support for XP. Few games will still be made for it. Even when the next iteration of Windows after Vista is released, Vista won't be supported. That's the way of Microsoft now.

You're not the first person to not like Halo 2 Vista, and you probably won't be the last. But you are certainly the most ignorant. Good for you!

I hope the ninja's make it a ban-able offense to post a "Make Halo2PC for XP" thread.

If you spam the forum with the same useless repetitive threads over and over again, I think that's a blacklist-able offense. At least it should be.

You see, we don't mind if you post your opinion here, but if you want to be a jackass and disrespect Bungie and Microsoft, then you can just go to hell and keep screaming your verbal regurgitation at us, because if you're not even going to listen to what we have to say, you're just whining for no good reason.

If you don't have the money, save up or get a job. If you are below 16 and can't get a job, see my sig to help you earn a few extra bucks.

@OP: Congrats, you are the 80 billionth person to say that!

Vista is new, Xp is old. 'nuff said.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

Isn't Vista being built to use less resources. XP uses too much of the system resources, and I figured Microsoft was trying to fix that. Better Halo 2 performance on Vista, FTW!

...couldn't you simply have waited until Vista was released instead of complaining? You would've been able to get a faster, better, stronger computer than whatever setup you've got right now. Not our fault you blew the money a bit earlier than you were supposed to.

It's not fair!!! They are making a game!!! So stupid!!! They shouldn't make it!!!

There, I summarized your argument for you. Think about it, halo 3's going to be on 360 only, and the 360 costs far more than vista. Sure they could attempt to cram it onto just normal xbox, but would that be smart? No. The same applies here. I'm sure they could downgrade it to XP, but that would be going backwards, and so not smart.
