its such a bad move making halo2 for pc only run on vista

i dont think everyone owning a pc will want to upgrade and give about 150 bucks for a new OS just to play halo 2

windows xp will still last for years, way to go bungie :s:s:s:s:s

Yeah they will loose money but MS are in on this and see it as a way to get more people to upgrade. Atleast gamers anyway beacsue this will show them if they wanna keep playing new PC games they have to upgrade.

Microsoft spent so much time, money, and effort getting Barbie Horse Adventure: Wild Horse Rescue, backwards compatible for the 360 that they no longer have the resources to remake Halo 2 for the 360 or make any other title for the Xbox that we actully might play, backwards compatible. Damn you Barbie!

I think they should release a large update that gets rid of all the annoying glitches, and it wouldnt be to hard considering that the 360 has a lot horse power, simply dump all of it into the system RAM, no need for optimisation as was needed with the aging XBOX.

    Microsoft would probally send a patch or something in order to encourage more people to go out and buy Halo 2 for PC. Since, I will NOT buy an OS that costs around $100-200 just to play Halo PC. When I am perfectly fine with my OS (Windows XP: HE) now.

Microsoft made a poll about their next OS look about almost a year ago and apparently lot of consumer vote loves the "Mac" look, it is a lot more organize and clean

Although i don't think that u need this OS to play Halo 2 ... i didn't even know Halo 2 coming to the PC

Yes, you do need Windows Vista to play. Read that one GS article.

Absolutely no point with Bungie re-making Halo 2 for the 360 when they could be getting on with Halo 3.

Vista looks cool, I'll might get it when it comes out if it is reasonably priced.  Getting back to the topic of why not remake halo 2 for 360, it is already backwards compatible and bungie has better things to do like work on Halo 3 and would you pay another $50 - 60 on Halo 2, I'd rather spend it on something new like Halo 3.

I agree it is very pointless to rerelease a game that is backwards compatible.  Dont get me wrong, I love Halo but I am not willing to spend another 59.99 on the same game.  I have already bought all the rest including my unopened triple pack.  That is collecting dust.

Honestly people, what does the halo series have that other first person shooters don't have. I really don't think it's that fun anyway. Master Chief is cool though.

The first one had a spectacular storyline. Asside from Half-life, and possibly Quake, don't even try to say other FPS's have good storylines.

The second one was **** though.

It amuses me to see direct and indirect vista bashing :) DX10 is the future! But yeah, the production costs of a halo 2 remake would probably outweight the profits... and it's pointless w/h3 on the way.

It would make sense to me if they came out with Halo 1, 2 and 3 all in one disc. The online of Halo 3 but 3 campaign modes.

It probably wouldn't fit all in one disc though =/

As for actually remaking Halo 2, That is just crazy.

I kinda agree with this, cause Halo 3 is "The end of the Trilogy" but I doubt they are finished making money off of the series *cough* Halo Wars *cough*, so I think they might just remaster Halo 1 and 2, then release it as "The Trilogy Set" making us all spend even more money on games we already own xD
