Why are they making the Halo 2 PC version only for Vista? It just seems pointless as the majority of PC users now all have XP. I'm fairly confident my PC could run Halo 2. I'm sure any PC, even low to mid end gaming rig's could play it.
Upgrading to Vista for Halo 2 doesn't seem worth it to me, as Vista is virtually Windows XP with some flashy features. Nothing to die for.
Will they release a 2000/ME/XP version? This is really bugging me as I love Halo 2, but hate Vista. Just hearing the name ticks me off.
No, Windows vista was made to give gfx a better look, or that is what I'm tolded by people who play Halo CE, and XP I think can fun some of the betas, not very well, but they can run it. and why do you think Bungie, and every one else is calling it Halo 2 Vista, it is better sounding then halo 2 XP, or Halo 2 ME, Windows Vista is the next best OS, live with it, most times when some one makes a Gamer, or some new Software, they're going to try to get it on the newest OS, wich at that time, is Windows Vista, now when they started working H2V, then ya, XP was the best, but it wasn't going to be released when XP was still the #1 OS out there, Windows Vista is coming out 01-30-07, the price may be high, but so what, you can wait for the price to go down, as more and more people want it.

Vista isn't just a beter-looking version of XP. It is a hole new operating system with new and beter software and tons of new features. Yes maybe your rig can work a direct port of halo 2 from xbox to PC, but H2V is going to have way beter graphics and features that can't be suported on XP, such as Live Anywhere. It is defenitly beter to have an awsome game on Vista then to have a good game on XP.
Agreed.
Oh, and DoomyCheese, Bungie has told every one why, and it is too late to make one for any other OS, they've been making it for Windows Vista, nothing else, but the next Vista, and any new OS to come out in the next 50 years.
Do some Research before you start pooking and buging people about something like this.
