Your not going to find many people playing Halo 2. Last time I saw there were a lot of private server that had no players and four or five servers the had a handful of players.
A better title would have been CoD4:MW or CoD:WaW.
I'm using 197.45 in conjunction with ATI's 10.3 on my Hybrid PhysX rig. I have an HD 4870 X2 + 8800 GTX for PhysX. Works wonders for Sacred 2, The Scourge Project and bench apps like FluidMark.
I'm reinstalling Crazy Machines 2 atm through steam. I also have a few other PhysX titles including Metro 2033, SilverFall, GRAW 1 & 2, Mirror's Edge and Batman:AA.
Those four games pretty much tie for "most absurd hardware requirements".
It's also worth noting that the most demanding games are also the most terribly optimized. At least Crysis has the decency to be the best looking game out there, but Shattered Horizon and Metro don't even come close to matching it's graphics and yet the have arguably higher hardware demands. And from what I hear one of the Microsoft Flight Simulators is notorious for looking like ass and yet still challenging even modern day super-rigs.

Metro 2033 isn't crysis. You don't compare the two.
Metro 2033 looks awesome if you compare it to something like FallOut 3 where they both have similar end of days backgrounds. Metro 2033 isn't a tropical island, it's the underground metro tunnels of Russia.
Shattered Horizon isn't crysis. You don't compare the two.
Shattered Horizon looks awesome if you compare it with something like X3 Terran Conflict. Even though they aren't the same genre, they are both very demanding and are based in space and have space combat.
No, the desktop's CPU is a quad core, while the laptop is a dual core. Though the GPU in the desktop isn't going to play any game on high setting, unless it is an older title. Your probably not even going to be able to play games on medium settings, most likely a mixture of low and medium.
The laptop on the other hand has enough GPU power to play games on high settings.
