I think Microsoft are making it only run on Vista, so they can sell more of there next OS. I still reckon it would work on Windows XP.

Wait about a month, and someone will hack this game, lol.

Thats it. I'm *cough* buying Vista...

Well, since XP won't support DirectX 10, and HALO 2 will be utilizing it... you can forget ever seeing a useable copy on XP. DirectX 9 won't be able to comprehend DirectX 10 abilities, so XP is going to be stalemated.

They could of run Halo 2 on DX9 with no problem.

But they aren't so people with XP are SOL.

You should have that cough looked at.

I don't see the problem with having to get Vista to play Halo 2. Most people who care enough about computing to want to play a game as advanced as Halo 2 (let me remind you that DX10 will mean new graphics cards all round) will be part of the crowd who care enough about computing to get Vista.

I know im getting Vista for sure. HALO 2 is overated, i dont see anything special in that game.

^same here but my brother was raving about the multiplayer. He hasnt played much on the pc though since his is a macintosh g4 laptop .

i think its probably a decent game and they will probably snazz it up a bit for the pc.

PC shooters are and always will be the best, because of the control.

now we can have Halo PC nerds blabbing along side of Halo 2 PC nerds on how much "better it is" than the console version...
