Top 7 Reasons Why H2V Rocks
We've compiled the top seven reasons that Halo 2 Vista rocks. Some might say it even has the potential to rock ever so slightly harder than the Xbox original. There are some things you might expect such as the map editor as well as some new tidbits that you may not have known.
-
I'm not getting Vista, but it sounds cool!
-
Yeah, what darthbob said. I CANNOT wait until it comes out. I'm trashing this computer, getting Windows Vista, and Buying it ASAP. :D
-
I still see all the enthusiasm for H2V is just a selling point for crappy Vista. The only reason to even get this game is for the Map Maker, and even then, I can still live without it. I'm just confused as to why us Mac users won't get a version of this game... OH! Thats right, Mac's can run Window's programs as well, nvm [Edited on 9/1/2006]

i just found a Vista Combatible Upgrade for my Halo PC/CE so ALL of my worries are gone! WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
-
My concern lies with the claim that the visuals have been fine tuned for the Vista version, yet the available screenshots of the PC version of the game do not mirror the claims for high-resolution textures and all that. What's going on? Is the multiplayer part lower res than the single player campaign by design, or have you guys just not released the "sweet" screenshots showing all these new assets in place yet? As it stands now, the quality present in the screenshots is barely an improvement over the original HALO. Where is the HDR lighting, the higher resolution art assets, the long draw distances... show me the eye candy and the reason to buy HALO 2 for Vista when it ships! [Edited on 8/27/2006]

Well.. It looks good, I have a few problems though, first of all its really sad what Microsoft is forcing you guys to do. I mean it's painfully obvious that Vista is a massive failure for the company. They have been working on it for what? five years? more? Also all it's new features (Vista's not Halo's) are just ripoffs of things that the Mac os has had for years. They know that to get most people to buy it they have to pull cheap stuff like this. Don't get me wrong, I will buy it eventually I'm not a cheapskate and I like Halo 2 but I will have to wait at least until Vista's service pack 2 comes out or else it will be full of bugs and loopholes. Thats the way it always is with Microsoft products when they first come out. So my point is good game, great features like mod support, but horrible trick on microsoft's part. Also, isn't it sad that the only thing that makes the Xbox and 360 platform a sucess is Halo and Halo 2 when they were originally going to be Mac Games, (the dependency never ends...) [Edited on 8/27/2006]

Hopefully, it won't be anything like the 360...
-
This reminds me how crazy everythig was when halo2 hit the xbox. It seems to be reapting it shelf. Pre pare for pepole in the mall and at gamestop fightiong over halo2 vista.
-
Just wondering... If we play with a controller, will we be able to turn sticky aim on?
-
i nay can,t tel the games comes out besic i hav windows vista it cooool halo rocks
-
lol why are you guys so worried about modders and cheating for halo 2 vista? lmao When i have my own server, with updated pb every month of cource, i just perm ban there product number or punkbuster id, and boom they are gone forever. Not to mention pb logs and server screen shots every 5 seconds

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] IIDWells55XII I love how they require Vista, which requires a beastly machine, while the game ran on a 733MHz Celeron, a GeForce 3, and 64MBs of shared RAM (Xbox). Such a ripoff.[/quote] consoles and pc's....two totally different things, dont relate them, ever.

Any info on when the 360 controller will be fixed under windows? I have the latest version of the driver off of Windows Update and at this point you still can't pull the left and right triggers at the same time. Well, you can, but since they're halves of the same axis they neutralize each other and its the same as if you pulled neither. Thanks, Kiel
-
vista? blegh...the os hasn't even come out yet and it's already plagued with the same holes as every other windows release to date. besides -- get on with more information, pics and videos of halo 3 already. there's always talk of these awesome lighting effects and reflective what-have-you...show us pictures damnit!!
-
Ok, Ok! We know that Halo 2 will rock on Vista. Now can we PLEASE get on with some info on Halo 3!! Some renders of the Elites, Profits, Grunts and so on Would be sweet! None of these are secrets! We are not ASKING for secrets....we just want to see how GOOD some things will look in Halo 3 with the power of the 360. Thanks, P.S. Movie info is just as importaint. ;)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JB2448 I don't really think it's that vital or, dare I say, worth the extra money to upgrade your PC to play Halo 2 on the Vista if you have it on the Xbox.[/quote] It not JUST for Halo 2, I am sure there will be many games for Vista, and I am sure Vista will pwn XP. Just because you don't want to upgrade for HAlo 2 doesn't mean you won't upgrade for the other kick ass features.
-
Has the physics engine been changed. If it has it will be good becasue there wil be no more superbounces. Even if it hasn't been changed ,would it be possible to do them on the pc because the PAl 50/60 stuff is different.
-
holy blam! what the grunt does that mean.
-
holy blam! this game is going to be awsome
-
i will never buy halo 2 for vista. i hate all games pc! hoooraaa
-
awesome. although I thought you shoud have started at 7 and ended at 1.
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Godzil1a IGN said it was cool but ran like crap. I think I'll wait for when it's fixed up befre i believe the Bungie Marketing hype[/quote] You know, I was really confused when I read what IGN said. I had a totally smooth experience on the machine that I played on here, it was just like my Xbox at home but it looked better. Maybe the machine I was on is just super awesome? I'm not really that worried about it, one bad experience won't change things, it'll get its fair shake.

[quote][b]main article[/b] Bungie has always supported its community and making it easier for them to create custom content was an early goal of Halo 2 Vista.[/quote] That's a bunch of crap. Bungie studios has supported Custom Edition to the bare minimum. The only time anyone from the studio has made a big deal out of Custom Edition was to bring publicity to Halo 2 pre-launch. I cant believe anyone would put that up in a main article. 'Always supported'? Yeah right. Custom Edition is as unsupported as anything can be. The only time anyone has jumped in to support it was to fix the server crashing script which was being used as an exploit. Bungie has a VERY dedicated fanbase in the Custom Edition community, yet they aren't listened to at all reguardless of ANYTHING they do.
-
Some people may say this is too early to ask, but, I wonder if they'll make H3 for PC,seeing on how they said that they weren't planning to make H2 for PC but as we know, the are now...

OMG 7 REASONS - 7 + 0 = 7!!!!!11!!!1!!1! lollolol
