Don't even try campaign...multiplayer, yes

Campaign mode is the worst possible thing you can do to spend time. Do not even attempt this mode!!! It really sucks so much. So the only option left is to play multiplayer. I don't really mind the Vista upgrade. I have a Mac, so my Vista is in a separate partition and I downloaded Ultimate for free. I tried multiplayer and it was pretty disappointing. First of all, you need headphones and a friend with you. If you play alone in your room without microphone like I first did, you will feel lonely and ultimately bored. I would rather play Halo 2 on the console against friends. Keyboard and mouse does not feel right for me either. It works just fine, but I seriously think that keyboard and mouse users cannot compete against gamepads because of auto-aim. If you are using a gamepad, the game will be more fun...just try gamepad some time. Overall, multiplayer gets boring if you can't matchmake (you need Gold Account for this). I thought I was a noob, but there obviously were people worse than me, so you won't get owned to badly.
