Has there been a patch by anyone that allows XP users to play Halo 2 PC, because I really want to try it. I just don't feel like updating to Vista.

Do you mean that these "patches" only work on the pirated copies of the game?

Thanks for the help. I was just looking for the Halo 2 board on GS and over at Bungie and found this out. But I also found out that the community is very small, so I may have to think about upgrading to Vista and paying for this game.

is it really worth buying Vista, which MS are already getting ready to replace, just for one game?

think again - there's no advantage to getting vista, and so you might as well wait unless you fancy the hassle of some of your other games/programs not working and generally loads of hassle

Um, all those things are going to apply whether he gets Vista, or Windows 7... And MS has always replaced their OS every 2-3 years, XP was an exception...

If it only works on vista. Well done Microsoft for alienating your majority.

Pigeonholing you into pirating it then, tbh, that's what I would do, I mean, you probably knew it only worked on vista when you bought it.. but hey, you bought it, so personally, I wouldn't think twice about downloading a crack/patch or whatever.

Incorrect. There is an unofficial (but perfectly legal) patch to play it on XP.

However, the original makers of it have shut their site down, and the two mirrors they had have disappeared so it is rather difficult to find now.

if you install the patch you can't play online so its rather "pointless"
