PC version of Halo 2 coming - for Windows Vista

article published on 10 February, 2006

If you are a Halo fan and would like to play the best-selling Halo 2 game on your PC, then you will be forced to upgrade your PC to Microsoft's upcoming Windows Vista operating system. The decision to make the game Vista-only is driven by the Redmond-based software company's desire to get as many people as possible upgraded to Windows Vista quickly.

It would be better to just buy a Xbox 360. Why spend all that money upgrading your PC?

I been thinking about that but KB and mouse rules the dim lil pad even more so now adays with bare minuim controller setups and halos "innovative" aim system that cant be used by some with no "normal" control option button config and such games are playing worse add the lack of detail and polish to game play....blah.....
Does this mean I will get vista no it just means I like to bitch

I signed up here just to post on this subject and post my opinion.
Halo was a fun game and now that it is not out for the pc on any of the newer halo editions i have not played halo since halo 1. I only buy pc games. I like a keyboard vs a controller.

My pc's are fast enough to run any game out there on a 64 bit os including crysis at high res. For os i choose winxp 64 because vista and win7 sux. vista is buggy and reminds me of windows me and windows 7 sux because they changed the file system so i get lost in it where winxp i could fly. It takes me 3 times as long to do what i want. I have windows 7 on my laptop and hoping i will be able to load winxp 64 on it because this win7 is crap. anyway all current games should be programmed to play on any 64 bit os not just one as halo2 did. Microsoft makes too much money off us and should be using some of that money to fix the economy and creating jobs or donating for education instead these billionaires keep stashing money away while we are all broke.
No wonder steve jobs seperated from bill gates and made his own company. Bill if your out there do something about our economy and make some jobs you rich selfish baSt@rd.

mechtech, if correct, steve jobs never worked for bill gates as steve is co-founder of apple computers.
