I won't be buying it for a while for the simple fact that I have to have Vista in order to play it.

It isn't in my must buy-list since it's Vista exclusive.

It's a must buy for me, I loved it on the Xbox and can't wait to see how well it plays on a PC. Since I've already got Vista it isn't an issue for me.

I wouldn't be interested in it. Even if I was running Vista and they were only charging $5 for it I still wouldn't buy it. I have Pc shooters that are far better than the Halo series. It was fun playing co-op on XBox but when I'm PC gaming I'm looking for a different experience.

if you already have xbox live you can use that account its basically the same thing as xbox live but on a computer and the nice thing is there making it so 360 players can play pc players

I'm not too interested. It'll be a good shooter, but nothing great. I've played the Xbox game, YEARS ago, and it wasn't too amazing back then.

I'd mostly get it simply to make use of my Vista partition.

When I get Vista, I will buy, but only for the online MP, which should be fun if it does not lag too much :wink:.

No, it does not. The only game which you have to pay to play online coming up is Shadowrun, and that is only for cross-platform (Xbox 360 vs PC, and we will own :D)

I don't like Halo, but it's nice to see a Vista-Exclusive game. It makes me smile.

To tell you the truth. I love Halo, I played it on Xbox (without Xbox Live) and I'll buy it when it comes to PC so I can play online. Prolly won't get it awhile until I get Vista though

I think its a great buy if your a fan of the series or your new to the series and just so happen to own a Vista machine that works, but other than that its to little to late if you ask me. If if it was done on XP Home, it would be fantastic.

Hmmm.... I think its gonna be the biggest waste of a DVD ever.  The game is....old!  And its mediocre too!  I love my old games, but theyre GOOD old games.  Halo 2 is average at best, it actually made me sleepy when I played it on my roommates console.

Vista exclusive = I won't play it, because I have no interest in "upgrading" to vista anytime soon.  Maybe in a few months time for more exciting games like Shadowrun.

PC players and Xbox players cannot play against each other in Halo 2.

I'm fan of FPS games and Halo has it's own unique style. I find it fun. 

I have a feeling that most of my PC teammates are refusing the Halo mostly because it requires you to have Vista. And, it that matter I agree with them completely. However, unless you totally hate the "game" itself, I truly believe that it's quite fun to play it. It's a First Person Shooter, and not a bad one. 

I had a chance to play first Halo on Xbox, and later on PC. Halo 2 as well. And, I'll be looking forward to it's PC title in future, when Vista stabilizes properly and it's optimized for games as Windows Xp is. Until then, unfortunately Halo 2 is not my choice. 

I do believe that it still is a good shooter, it's just sad that Microsoft took it's course with it to make more profit.

Its looks good but I'm still kind of meh. I may pick it up when I eventually upgrade but Halo has always felt mediocre to me. The guns just aren't fun to shoot when compared to any game I've played. Now give me Halo story with Quake's guns, then you've got me sold.

Not interested. First of all it requires Vista, which I don't have, and I'm not planning to get it until I have a DX10 card, which won't be for a while. Secondly, I didn't like the first Halo so I won't waste my time in a sequel, I forced myself to play the 1st one for about 5 hours and then couldn't go on, both the weapons and enemies were badly done IMO. Thirdly, sounds to me like it's more about the mp, and I'm not a huge fan of mp shooters. Fourthly, MS is a bastard for making it require Vista, especially when it doesn't utilize either DX10 nor the xbox vs pc online, and I will boycott it for that reason.

I would play it if it were on xp. What's the probability that they release a patch later on that will make it playable on xp? It wouldn't surprise me if they already have it ready but are holding out to encourage more more to buy Vista. Then 6 months later they could release a patch for XP to boost sales of the game. Either way it's going to be a while before I purchase Vista.

Heck, if MS doesn't release a patch to make Halo compatible with XP there will probably be some user somewhere with the know how and some time to kill.  DX10 too

From the new gamespot feature the graphics look to have a pretty significant upgrade (natural progression to PC). I got a Vista CD with my new laptop so why not. And people who are bashing the game yah we know it's not the greatest game ever like xbox fanboys say it is. Nonetheless it's still a FPS that is very well done.
