How come Halo 2 is only gonna b out for Windows Vista only and mac??? y not windows XP??

What it is.

Vista only, No Mac or XP...why? increase Vista Sales, and increase profit for MS, also increase subscriptions for Live Anywhere(basically Xbox Live for everything), although it will still be free online play, but you get exclusive features by subscribing to Live Anywhere...dont have the money, then too bad...

No.

Vista is just a better platform for gaming than XP ever was.

So TC, don't -blam!-, get a job, and quit the drugs.

All I have to say is, Read my sig, it tells the truth.

Ah, you shouldn't be calling people 'stupid noobs!!!!!!!', it's against forum regulations, and we all like to not be against forum regulations, now don't we?

* No bad jokes.

* No quote pyramids.

* Don't bypass the -blam!- filter.

* Do not feed the trolls.

* Xbox hacking/modding discussions will not be permitted on any of the Bungie.net forums.

* Don't Flame each other! Use your manners and common sense. If you disagree with someone, do so gracefully.

* Noob, Newbie, N00b, and any other variants on the word newb are hereby banned from use on this forum. Any user who violates this rule will be put to death.

* No political or religious discussion of any kind will be tolerated on the forums. These kinds of conversations almost always devolve into insult contests. Use groups like Body Politic or The Black Chapter for such topics if you wish to discuss them.

* Don't use the forums as a means of communicating with a specific person. That is what Private Messages are for.

Toronto people are such pursies. 5cm of snow and you cry for the army to save you. It's -33 and we got 60cm of snow in the space of 48 hours in Owen Sound this week.

To top it off this is like the fifth topic he posted this week... this isn't a chat room, you know. For the last time, read the forum stickies.

By the way, Micro$ith and Darth Gates wants you to join the dark side by purchasing Vista.

lol... the actions of one idiotic mayor do not indicate the level of "pursieness" or intentions of the entire city.

enjoy your ridiculous temperatures and mountains of snow.

The Dark Side is better anyways. It's more fun to electrocute people than it is to help them...

What is Microsoft going to do?

Release Halo 2 for Vista.

What can you do about it?

Not a god damn thing.

By the way, darthbob, nobody here ever called him noobkiller a noob or any variant of the word--he certainly is one though.

Actually, Stealth_1000 did, but he has since changed his signature.

Oh, and it made my day to be called 'Darth Gates', XD.

H2V is coming out for Vista only. Get over it. And lets face it, eventually you will get Vista one way or another. And be thankful that M$ made Halo 2 for Vista. They couldn't have done it at all, so be obliged that they did it in the first place. Here M$ gives you Halo 2 for a great new system, and all you guys do is whine and complain. After years of begging for Halo 2, we're finally getting it. And now you say "why cant it be for XP?" and "why cant it be for mac?" Well why didn't Nentendo make Super Mario 64 for the SNES? Because the N64 was the new thing of the future(and the fact that the SNES couldn't handle the graphics.) Why keep making new games for soon-to-be outdated systems? And for the mac question, would Nentendo want to make Zelda games for the Playstation? No! Nentendo and Sony are enemies, Which is the same deal with M$ and Apple. And with Halo 2 on the Vista, M$ can deter business from Apple. Now after the Vista has been in the market for a year or so, M$ might make an apple version of H2V. They did it with the first game, Its likely they'll do it again. So just be patient.
H2V is coming. And there's nothing you can do about it.

and your all newbs in here...its for vista because of DirectX10. You can't use dx10 hardware on xp, you have to use a software emulator. And last I checked there is only one card that supports dx10 and that is the GeForce 8800 GTX card (which also supports dx9 for xp).
