We've done a lot of talk about Halo 2 Vista. I want to know, how many people are actually getting the game? As for me, I'm probably getting it within a few days of release. The only problem is deciding whether to use a controller or mouse and keyboard, since I'm decent with both. I'll probably use both, whichever I feel in the mood for.

A simple "Yes" or "No" choice should have sufficed, and people should have explained why. But hey, whatever floats your battlecruiser.

Yes, whenever I can afford to get Vista.

Maybe, if I end up getting Vista, I'll probably pick up this game, as long as it isn't poorly optimized to the point where it brings my X1900XTX to a crawl.

No, I think Halo 2 should run well on that card. Though the game supports DX10 cards, it in itself is a DX9 game. Not that DX9 makes games look ugly, mind you, but DX10 makes everything so much better. Chances are your card will work fine on it. Of course, other factors, such as your CPU and RAM, is important.

I'll be getting the game when I get Vista...quite possibly in late 2007/early 2008 or so. By that time, most if not all the kinks that come with any new OS should be worked out and both Vista and H2 will have dropped in price.

Oh, and student discounts FTW.

I already have vista installed on my PC. Don't ask how, it has to do with my mum's job at yale, but w/e. And thankfully H2v should come out a few days before my birthday, so I don't have to even pay for it.

First day it's out. I just can't wait

I hope to get Vista by the end of June. That way I won't be tempted to play H2V instead of doing school work. But I'll probably buy H2V as soon as it comes out, just so I can stare in awe and drool all over it.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I'm probably getting Vista as a birthday present if my family can find it in stores the day it comes out(my birthday), so I'll get H2V as soon as it is out.

You haven't played on Xbox or 360?
You should, unless you want to use your comp. I liked the story, MP felt....different, but it's fun. If Halo 2 Vista dosen't make noobs get consecutive 24 headshots with the Sniper, I might look into it.

Also, I want to upgrade my comp first, then get it. I just want my graphics to be the same/better of Halo 2.

I'll have to upgrade most of my specs first. Vista looks expensive, if I can barely afford a 6200 or an X1300 graphics card, I can't afford that. And I'm not such a Halo 2 fan, but I sure don't want to be left in the dust...=/

Whenever my dad decides to get vista or I buy myself a computer, I will start saking my mom for it for my birthday.
