I was playing WoW last night with everything turned on full on Vista. 9FPS.

Changed back to XP boot and played with same settings. 29FPS.

Vista does suck for games.

Vista is a great platform if you know how to install your drivers correctly. It simply isn't ready for the average gamer. Simply put, the nVidia and ATI have both been lagging behind with their compatibility. Fact is, if you install you drivers correctly, you will only loose like 5% FPS under Vista. Give it another 6 months and Vista will likely surpass XP; it is inevitable given the superior OS architecture.

It is? Try getting a decent rig.

All my games run better than in XP.

vista needs more ram than xp, this happens with every system

so if you have 4 gb ram in vista it shud perform like 2 in xp

evry new os sux for gaming when it first comes out but they let systems get better and the games get much better

it seems more like nvidia sucks for vista.. ati cards did okay in the transition, though they lost a few fps.

Not really. I've tried games such as Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and F.E.A.R on my Vista PC and it works absolutely fine.

Its funny. Why are some of you complaning about a game thats not compatible with Windows XP when you can just get it for the original XBOX? :P They are pretty cheap and along with Halo 2 I don't see why you should spend any more than £50 (don't know how much in dollars sorry).

If you really wanted to play Halo 2 you would do that. Not just be complaning by saying 'Oh no why is this damn game not compatible with XP'?

yeah seriously.I just bought a new gaming pc along with Oblivion and I absolutely hate playing with kb/m. only reason i like it more than the 360 version(which i also own) is because of mods.

Doesn't negate the fact that Halo 2 is an old xbox game. There are far better FPS games for PC available that don't require vista.
