    Default Halo 2 to be relea.... wait...?

    Yeah, Halo 2 is coming out for the PC! And guess what!?! You cant play it without vista!

    Seriously, is anyone else pissed about this? And is there anyone out there really willing to buy it?

    Nope. Halo 2 doesn't use any DX10 features: It was released long before DX10 was around, remember?
    As I was walking down the stair,
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish, I wish he'd go away.

    Probably, but I'm not among them. The game's been around for a while, and it's been pretty heavily played by a lot of people already. It's easier to just get the xbox version, since it would cost far less than the vista version likely will, and will play just as well.

    And is there anyone out there really willing to buy it?
    Yes. Not me, but people will buy anything. It will sell and sell well. That is certain. Although will it be as hugely successful as the xbox version? Will there be huge lines, obsessed fans created or a huge wave of people playing the vista version? Not by a long shot.

    That's my prediction anyway.

    Eh. DX10.

    Not pissed at all, since I've never really liked Halo. I had the first game on PC, and it was lackluster. I've played better MP games.

    Hell no, I'm not buying. No, I wouldn't even install Vista for free just to be able to play Halo 2.

    Hey, bash Halo, not Vista. Vista's a nice OS if your comp can handle it. It runs just as smoothly as XP does on my laptop, and I've had 0 problems. Of course, I also don't install any of the updates that Microsoft releases for their OS's.

    Know whats awesome? You can play without the game being fully installed! It installs as you play the game. It does have to install though, so you cant just play with say 1gig free and swap the space, but still, its an awesome technology.

    I can't see myself wanting to play halo 2 with a mouse and keyboard. Give me my joystick anyday.

    Some people might prefer the easy movement a mouse provides, though I don't remember having any trouble with Halo on the xbox.

    I suppose, but I don't like to use the same equipment that I use for school work to play games. It just doesn't seem as fun.
