An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

I know all the hype right now is on Halo 2 for PC but I recently ran the windows vista upgrade advisor and it says Halo may not be compatible. Is there a solution for this or will we not be able to play Halo 2's predecessor?

I think Halo will be compatible, it should be.

No! I don't want to spend two hundred dollars on a new operating system just to play Halo 2!! I want it on Windows XP, or better yet, on my Windows 2000 desktop, even though my computer's so crappy it probably won't even run the game in the first place! Bungie sucks!!

What it is.

Halo PC works on Vista, Gearbox released a patch for it so it will work, works like a charm too, although alt-tabbing and then going back into the game might give you a BSOD, either that or it's just me...but here's the link: http://download.yousendit.com/257A3E3163A50D86

i would try using the autoupdater first before doing this though, i know i found the original file location back in august, but i cant seem to find it now, but i loacted the file that was on my comp, all you need to do is copy the strings.dll and the halo.exe file into your halo folder(backup your origial files, aka copy and paste them in a diff folder)...and that should do it

How glitchy is it? Does it cause exceptions?

it works. I just don't like how you can't use ati-tool, so when I play I'm stuck in 800x600....which is why I went back to xp
